• Induction Safety: Keep magnetic objects (credit cards, tapes) away from the hob. Do not place metal objects (cutlery, lids) on the cooking zones.

Installation

Installation must be performed by an authorized service or qualified professional. Ensure there is no gas hose, plastic water pipe, or socket behind the installation area to prevent heat damage. Keep ventilation ducts clear.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Wait for the hob to cool before cleaning. Use dishwashing detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use steam cleaners, abrasive detergents, or hard metal scrapers, as these can damage the glass surface.
