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 da-
mage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on
the vitroceramic.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with sauce-
pans.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the
vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium
sheets must not contact with the heating

ling: 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 con-
trol panel.
• If a drawer is situated under the embedded
appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of
the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
• Never put any inammable object (ex. sprays)
into the drawer situated under the vitrocera-
mic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must
be resistant to heat.
