responsible for any damages to persons or

property caused by incorrect installation or

use of the appliance.

The Manufacturer shall not be held responsible for

any inaccuracies in this handbook due to printing or

transcription errors; the designs in the figures are

Fig. 1

The hot plates are equipped with 4

radiant heating elements with different

powers and diameters. Cooking zones

are marked on the hob top; the power

inputs are listed above.

Close to each control knob, there is a

diagram that shows which cooking zone

that knob controls. There is a residual

heat light that turns on when the cooking

zone temperature is above 60°C. This will

turn off only when the cooking zone has

cooled below this value.

Hob controls

There are 12 settings giving a wide range of

temperatures.

Setting Suggested use

1 Melting butter, chocolate etc.

1- 4 Heating small quantities of liquid and to

keep dishes warm.

4 - 8 Heating foods, thawing deep-frozen

foods, cooking fruits and vegetables.

8 - 10 Cooking meat, fish, vegetables with

sauce.

10 - 12 Sautéing meat or fish; cooking fish,

steaks and eggs.

12 Frying with oil and heating pans full of

water.

You can turn the control knob clockwise or

anticlockwise to the required setting. The residual

heat light (marked 5 on the diagram opposite) will

come on when the zone is warm.

How to use the cooking zones

The heating areas are the circles marked on the

hob. Use pots and pans that completely cover the

circles.

IMPORTANT:

Remember:

- Place the pan on the cooking zone before

turning the control on.

- Use pots and pans with flat, solid bases.

- Use pots with the same diameter as the

cooking zones or slightly larger.

- Dry the bottom of the pot before putting it on

the cooking zone.

- Do not scrape the pot along the glass. This will

damage it.

- While you are using the hotplate, please, keep

children well away. Make sure that pot

handles are in a safe position. Never leave a

pan of fat or cooking oil unattended.

- Cooking zones stay hot after use for some

time; don’t leave objects on the hob or touch

the top until the residual heat indicator light is

off.

- Don’t use plastic pots or aluminium sheets on

the hob.

- Don’t use hob as a work surface.

CAUTION:- If a crack in the hob surface becomes

visible, due to accidental damage etc., isolate the

appliance from the electricity supply immediately by

turning it off at the wall and arrange for its repair.

DO NOT RECONNECT THE HOB TO THE

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR!

Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the

appliance from the electric circuit.

EASY GUIDE

Cleaning

To keep the surface clean and bright, we

recommend you use a silicone conditioner. Used

prior to jam making this will help to protect the

surface of the hob. It is very important to clean the

surface soon after every use, when the glass is still

warm. Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers of

any type. Corrosive cleaners such as oven sprays

and stain removers or abrasive powders should not

be used either.

Depending on the dirt level we recommend:

- Slights stains: use a moist clean cloth.

- Burnt or soiling may be removed with a special

razor scraper (fig. 3); careful, the blade is sharp

and can cause a nasty cut.

- Marks from pot overflows, can be removed using

vinegar or lemon.

- Do not let sugar or sugar solutions run onto the

surface. If this happens turn the hob off and clean

the surface with hot water and the razor blade

scraper.

- If any plastic item, kitchen foil, sugar or food

containing sugar is accidentally allowed to melt on

the hot surface, remove it immediately with a

scraper while the hob is still hot to avoid the risk of

damage to the surface.

- After some use, metal marks and scratches (fig. 4)

due incorrect cleaning and the wrong use of the

pots may appear on the hob top. The scratches

are difficult to remove, but they do not

compromise the good working of the hob. But

make sure that there are no cracks.

- Rinse well and dry with another paper towel or

soft cloth. Take care that no water seeps into the

appliance around the control knobs.

Fading of the text is not covered by the guarantee.

installation will comply with the critical clearance

dimensions (fig. 5 and 6).

2) FIXING

- Screw the fixing brackets to the hob (fig 7).

- Turn the hob over. Carefully fit the seal (“E” in fig.

8) under the hob edge but don’t remove the

protective paper strip. Stick the seal to the hotplate

uniformly, pressing it with your fingers. The ends of

the strip must fit together without overlapping.

IMPORTANT:

The glue used to fix plastic laminate to worktop, has

to be able to withstand 150° C, to avoid

delaminating. This appliance is type Y with regard to

protection against over heating of the surrounding

surfaces. The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding

surfaces must therefore be able to withstand a

nominal, power, etc.) match the ratings indicated on

the data plate on the hob base.

The appliance must be connected to an efficient

earthing circuit. If the electricity network is not

equipped with an earth connection, then it must be

installed separately in compliance with local

regulations. Earthing is a safety measure required

by law, and must be performed with particular care

by a qualified technician, who must also check that

the electricity supply characteristics are correct.

We disclaim all responsibilities for not observing

these points.

cable, connect to the terminal block with an

adequate section cable keeping the “earth”

conductor longer than “live” ones, see fig. 10.

The appliance must be connected to the correct

electrical supply as stated on the voltage label on

the cooker, through a suitable cooker control unit

incorporating a double pole switch having a contact

separation of at least 3mm in all poles. It must not

be connected to an ordinary power socket.

The “earth“ cable does not have to be interrupted by

the switch.
