• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should

Precautions not to damage the appliance
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast
iron pots,) may damage the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic
hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not
contact with the heating zones. These may cause breaks or
other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on
the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating
zone (be careful: do not burn yourself).
• Never place any hot container over the control panel.
• If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make
sure the space between the content of the drawer and the

situated under the vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery
drawers must be resistant to heat.
