compare the parameters of the local electricity mains supply with the technical data of the appliance
(see the nameplate fitted on the rear of the appliance, Fig. 2 – Para. 8). Only connect the appliance
to the mains if the above-mentioned data correspond! All the safety instructions must be complied
with!
Ensure that the power supply cable does not come into contact with heat sources or sharp
edges and that it does not become blocked under the appliance. Ensure that the cable is laid
out properly, and not rolled up or bent.
The power supply cable must not be laid on carpets, tablecloths, mats or on other heat
insulating materials, nor covered or immersed in water or other liquids and it must be
positioned where it cannot be walked on.

the appliance allows its correct use and easy servicing as indicated in section 6.
Remove the appliance from the packaging, taking care to follow the instructions in Section 4
(Environmental notes) with regard to the storage and disposal of the packaging materials.
Move the appliance taking care of not making it fall and not bumping on the ceramic-glass
cooking surface.
Position the appliance on a stable, flat, correctly leveled and heat resistant surface, with a

heat, such as, for example, places exposed to the sun's direct rays. The heat can damage the
surface of the appliance and adversely affect its operation.
Position the appliance so that each part of it is always at least 20 cm from walls, furniture and
other objects, in order to guarantee a good air circulation, optimum access to all parts of the
appliance and the space necessary for its operation.
The appliance is not designed to be flush-mounted in a counter, a cabinet, or in any other
furniture.
