[. . . ] Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the power supply voltage matches the indication on the data plate. Electrical safety of this appliance is assured only if it has been connected to an effective earthing system. If the plug and socket are not compatible, the socket has to be replaced with a suitable type by skilled persons. [. . . ] Do not attempt to repair it, but take it to a service centre approved by the manufacturer. The appliance has been designed and manufactured to operate as an electric cooker in the home. To prevent children from accidentally touching hot components, use the hot plate on surfaces that are at least 85 cm high. Keep the appliance out of reach of children and the disabled since the plates reach high temperatures. Attention: the surfaces temperature could be elevated when the appliance is on. Do not leave the appliance on if not in use since overheating the cast iron plates could damage it. Wait until the plates are absolutely cold before storing the appliance in its box. The first time that you use the appliance, let it warm up for 5 minutes to eliminate all traces of moisture. While cooker is in use, be sure to keep the power cable well away from any hot surfaces. The appliance is equipped with an adjustable thermostat to increase/decrease the temperature of the plates. The pilot lamp of the plate being used stays on until the set temperature is reached. Once the temperature falls below the value set with the knob, the pilot lamp lights up again. Disconnect the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down well before cleaning it. Do not use substances, liquids or excessively dampened cloths because any infiltrations could damage the appliance beyond repair. Periodically make sure the power cord is not cut or burnt since it is near to the hot plate. If the cable should have been damaged, do not use the appliance, remove the plug and contact an authorized after sales service centre.
