Individuals with a pacemaker or similar medical device:

Please note that an electromagnetic field develops when the combiset is turned on. It is not likely that this will affect the pacemaker or similar device.

If in doubt contact the manufacturer of the device or your doctor.

~

Keep magnetized items, e.g. credit cards, disks, etc. away from the combiset while in operation. Damage may result.

~

The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for quite a while after being turned off. As long as the surface temperature is high enough to cause a burn, the Residual Heat Indicator will remain lit. Once sufficient time has passed and the combiset surface is safe to touch, the Residual Heat

Indicator will go out.

~

Protect your hands with oven mitts or potholders when using the appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

~

Do not use the appliance until it has been properly installed in the countertop.

~

Do not store items on the appliance when not in use. Items could melt or catch fire from residual heat or if the appliance is turned on inadvertently.

Always switch the burner(s) off after use.

~

Do not store aerosols, combustibles or any other easily flammable materials underneath or adjacent to the appliance.

~

The combiset is fitted with a cooling fan. Drawers under the combiset are not recommended. If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the combiset, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer, its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the combiset. Do not store small items or paper in the drawer. They could get sucked into the housing by the fan and cause damage or impair cooling.

Ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other flammable materials are kept in this drawer. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer they must be made of heat-resistant material.

~

Metallic items kept in a drawer under the combiset can become hot when the appliance is used for a longer period of time. Use caution.
