The Thoughtful Design Innovator.

Do you remember the last time you opened a gift that made you say

“Oh! How did you know? That’s exactly what I wanted!” That’s the kind of

feeling that the designers at Electrolux seek to evoke in everyone who chooses

or uses one of our products. We devote time, knowledge, and a great deal of

thought to anticipating and creating the kind of appliances that our customers

really need and want.

This kind of thoughtful care means innovating with insight. Not design for

design’s sake, but design for the user’s sake. For us, thoughtful design means

making appliances easier to use and tasks more enjoyable to perform, freeing

our customers to experience the ultimate 21st century luxury: ease of mind.

Our aim is to make this ease of mind more available to more people in more

parts of their everyday lives, all over the world.

The “Thinking of you” promise from Electrolux goes beyond meeting the needs

of today’s consumers. It also means we’re committed to making appliances

safe for the environment – now and for future generations.

Electrolux. Thinking of you.

Read the following carefully to avoid an electric

shock or fire.

It is important to use your cooktop safely. Check these

safety points before using your cooktop.

This appliance has been designed for built in application

only. It may only be used after correct installation into suitable

bench top which complies with all mandatory standards.

In the event of faults with this appliance or damage to

the glass ceramic (cracks, or breakages), the appliance

must be switched off and disconnected from the electrical

supply, to prevent the possibility of an electric shock.

Repairstotheappliancemustonlybecarriedoutby

trained registered service technicians.

Cables from electrical appliances must not touch the hot

surface of the appliance or hot cookware.

The appliance must always be attended during use as

overheated fats and oils can ignite very quickly and is a

potential ﬁre hazard.

This appliance should be used only for normal domestic

cooking and heating of food.

Ensure burner caps and crowns are in their correct position.

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 they do not play

with this appliance.

During use, this appliance becomes hot. Care should be

taken to avoid touching hot surfaces. To avoid burns,

young children should be kept away.

In order to avoid a ﬁre, this appliance must be kept clean.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance

while it is in operation.

Do not store ﬂammable materials on or under this

appliance, eg. aerosols.

Do not remove the trivet and enclose the burner with a

wok stand as this will concentrate and deﬂect heat onto

the burner.

Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can

bend the trivet or deflect flame onto the burner.

Do not place anything, eg. asbestos mat between pan

and trivet as serious damage to the cooktop

may occur.

For maximum stability, ensure pots and pans are

centrally located on the trivets.

Handles should be turned away from the front of the

bench to avoid accidents.

Do not modify this appliance.

Only models fitted with flame safeguard can be used

in marine craft, caravans or mobile homes.
