Before installing the hood, check that the electrical
mains power supply corresponds with what is report-
ed on the identification plate located inside the hood.
The socket used to connect the installed equipment
to the electrical power supply must be within reach:
otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the
hood when required.
Any changes to the electrical system must be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
Do not try to solve the problem yourself in the event
of equipment malfunction, but contact the Dealer or
an authorised Servicing Department for repairs.
When installing the device, disconnect
the equipment by removing the plug or
switching off the main switch.
FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY
Do no connect the equipment to discharge
pipes of fumes produced from combustion
(for example boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in
force regarding discharge of air out of the room have
been complied with.
USE WARNINGS
• Before powering the appliance for the first time, remove any pro-
tective films and adhesives.
• While using, saucepans and kitchenware can cause noise that can de-
pend on:
- a high power level.
- different materials of the bottom of saucepans.
• Never use water to put fire out. Deactivate the cooking area. Choke
flames with a cover, a fireproofing blanket or something similar to it.
• Do not keep inflammable objects in the drawers below the cooker. The
cutlery tray shall be made up of fire-resistant material.
• Do not heat empty saucepans or frying pans and always check that
saucepans have a minimum quantity of liquids inside.
• Switch off the cooker after use.
• Continuously check the cooking in case of greases and oils used, as they
can easily catch fire.
• Heat greases and oils at maximum for one minute and never use the
Booster function.
• Pay attention not to burn yourself during and after using the device.
• Make sure that no fixed or mobile power cable of the device is in con-
tact with the glass or a hot frying pan.
• Do not use the cooker to heat pots.
• Do not apply any type of cover on the cooktop.
• Electrical cables are not to be in contact with the cooker.
• It is recommended to protect hands from heat using pot holders. Only
use dry gloves or pot holders.
• Only use cookware with smooth and magnetic bottom suitable for in-
duction hobs.
• Avoid that sugar, synthetic materials of aluminium, films are in contact
with the hot areas. During cooling, those substances can cause cracks
or other alterations on the pyroceram surface: switch off the device and
immediately remove from the cooking area that is still hot
• When moving saucepans, make sure to lift them rather than slide them
over the surface.
• Saucepans and cooker are to be perfectly cleaned before being in con-
tact.
• Do not drop objects on the hob!
Only use saucepans with magnetic bottom.
Other materials are not admitted.
Kitchenware have different types of bottoms.
The bottoms can be completely ferrous, non-ferrous or a blend of both ma-
terials.
• Bottoms with non-ferrous material (aluminium, copper, ...) cannot be
used with induction hobs.
• Bottoms with blended material might not heat evenly or reach high
temperatures. If bottoms mainly consist of non-ferrous material, the
hob might not recognise the pan and the cooking zone does not switch
on. Furthermore some of these materials tend to release material that
bonds with the screen-printing of the glass, ruining it beyond repair.
• Fully ferrous flat bottoms are the most suitable and the heat is distrib-
uted evenly.
• Use saucepans of appropriate size to the desired cooking area.
• Always use a saucepan or frying pan on each cooking area, even with the
BRIDGE function.
• Do not place hot saucepans on the sensor keys or the LEDs, as this could
cause damage to the electronic components underneath.
• Keep controls and lamps always clean.
• Do no keep metal objects directly below the cooker.
• Possibly use always covers to avoid heat dispersion.
• Cook with little water.
• After starting grilling or cooking dishes bring the power level to a lower
one.
Safety and warning indications
Warning for people wearing pacemakers:
Keep in mind that when the appliance is being used an electromagnetic field
forms in the immediate proximity. There is therefore a remote possibility that
the operation of the pacemaker might be affected.
If in doubt, contact the pacemaker manufacturer or your GP.
The electromagnetic field of the hob during operation can affect the opera-
tion of magnetisable objects. Credit cards, life-saving devices, pocket calcula-
tors etc. should not be in the proximity of a hob when in operation.
Metal objects stored in the drawer underneath the appliance may become
hot in case of prolonged use. Do not store metal objects in a drawer imme-
diately underneath the hob.
The appliance is equipped with cooling fans. If there is a drawer under a bu-
ilt-in appliance, a separation must be ensured between the drawer and the
bottom of the appliance, for appropriate hob ventilation and to make sure
the fans are not be obstructed.
Never use two saucepans or pans on the same cooking zone, or a rectangular
cooking zone, or a PowerFlex cooking area.
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, discon-
nect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the
main switch.
Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet.
Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor fan) are off when the
equipment is not being used.
Do not rest objects on top of the motorised fins.
The maximum overall weight of any objects placed or hung (if applicable) on
the hood must not exceed 1.5 Kg.
Always supervise the cooking process during the use of deep-fryers: Over-
heated oil can catch fire.
Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease filters: in this case, grease
and dirt will deposit in the equipment and compromise its operation.
Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at the same time as the
cooking appliances.
Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts of the hood are still hot.
There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out according to the in-
18
