This article covers the safety guidelines for the BKK-97 by Boretti.
Safety
Precautions before using • Unpack all the materials. • The installation and connecting of the appliance have to be done by approved specialists. The manufacturer can not be responsible for damage caused by building-in or connecting errors. • To be used, the appliance must be well-equi- pped and installed in a kitchen unit and ana- dapted and approved work surface. • This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any other domestic, commercial or industrial use. • Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass. • Do not change or alter the appliance. • The cooking plate can not be used as freestan- ding or as working surface. • The appliance must be grounded and connec- ted conforming to local standards. • Do not use any extension cable to connect it. • The appliance can not be used above a dis- hwasher or a tumble-dryer: steam may da- mage the electronic appliances. Using the appliance • Switch the heating zones off after using. • Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or oils: that may quickly ignite. • Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance. • Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot saucepan. • Do not place any metallic object except hea- ting containers. In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn. • Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This is supposed to beco- me very hot and catch fire. • This appliance is not intended for use by per- sons (including children) with reduced physi- cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concer- ning use of the appliance by a person respon- sible 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 not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot. 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 zones. These may cause breaks or other al- terations of the vitroceramic glass by coo- 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 inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the vitrocera- mic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat. Precautions in case of appliance failure • If a defect is noticed, switch on the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying. • If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact the after sales service. • Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself. • WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Other protections • Note sure that the container pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of the pan must have to cover as much as pos- sible the cooking zone. • Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on still hot cook- ing zones.
