Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this doc‐ umentation in the space provided in the "After sales service, data plate, guarantee" section of this booklet. Remove any protective wrapping and stickers. Cleaning the hob for the first time Before using for the first use, clean the hob with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. Switching on the hob for the first time The metal components have a protec‐ tive coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time. The induction coils may also give off a slight smell for the first few hours of op‐ eration. This smell will be less noticea‐ ble with each subsequent use before dissipating completely. The smell and any vapours given off do not indicate a faulty connection or ap‐ pliance and they are not hazardous to health. Please note that the heating up time on induction hobs is very much short‐ er than on conventional cooktops. 17
