- Pacemakers and Medical Implants: Individuals with pacemakers or other medical implants should consult their doctor before using an induction hob, as electromagnetic fields may interfere with their operation.
- Metal Objects: Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, or lids on the hob surface, as they can become hot.

- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance as specified in the installation instructions to prevent overheating.
- Flammable Materials: Keep flammable materials away from the hob during operation.

The package dimensions are approximately 89 x 64 x 15 cm, which can serve as a guide for the required cutout and surrounding space.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Compatible Cookware
Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base. To check if your cookware is compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, the cookware is suitable for induction cooking.
4.2 Turning On/Off
- To Turn On: Touch the main power button (●) on the control panel. The display will illuminate.
- To Turn Off: Touch the main power button again. The hob will switch off, and residual heat indicators (if any) will appear.
4.3 Selecting a Cooking Zone and Adjusting Power
- Place an induction-compatible pan on the desired cooking zone.
- Touch the corresponding zone selection button on the control panel.
- Use the slider or '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the power level from 1 (low) to 9 (high).
4.4 Using the Flexi Zone
The left side of the hob features a Flexi Zone, which can be used as a single large cooking area or divided into two separate zones. This is ideal for larger pots, griddle pans, or multiple smaller pans.
- To use as two separate zones: Place pans on the individual markings within the Flexi Zone. Select each zone separately and adjust power as described above.
- To combine into a single large zone: Place a large pan (e.g., a griddle) across both markings of the Flexi Zone. Touch the Flexi Zone activation button (often indicated by a bridge or linked zones icon). The hob will recognize the large pan and operate both sections as one. Adjust the power level for the combined zone.
4.5 Timer Function
The hob may include a timer function for individual zones or a general minute minder. Refer to the specific icons on your control panel for activation and adjustment. Typically, you select the zone, then press the timer button and use '+' and '-' to set the desired cooking time.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Rosieres RIES844SC induction hob.
- Before Cleaning: Always ensure the hob is switched off and has cooled down completely.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the ceramic glass surface with a soft cloth or sponge and warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth to prevent water marks.
- Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food or stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a hob scraper (if necessary). Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, or steam cleaners, as these can damage the hob surface.
