inexperienced persons may cause injury or further

malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a Service

Centre (

see Assistance

).

• Always make sure pan handles are turned

towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid

accidental burns.

• Do not leave the electric plate switched on without

a pan placed on it.

• Do not use cookware with uneven or deformed

bottoms.

• The appliance should not be operated by people

(including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced

least, be supervised by someone who assumes

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe

local legislation so that the packaging may be

reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

requires that old household electrical appliances

must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted

municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be

collected separately in order to optimise the

recovery and recycling of the materials they

contain and reduce the impact on human health

and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled

bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your

obligation, that when you dispose of the

appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Practical Advice on Using the Electric

Hot Plates

In order to avoid heat loss and damage to the hot

plate, use cookware with a flat bottom the diameter

of which is not less than that of the hot plate.

 Before using the hot plates for the first time, you

should heat them at maximum temperature for

approximately 4 minutes, without any pans. During

this initial stage, their protective coating hardens

and reaches its maximum resistance.
