Electrical Connection
The installer is responsible for the correct electrical connection of
the appliance and the observance of the relative safety
prescriptions.
The appliance must be connected to the mains, checking first of all
that the voltage corresponds to the value given on the rating plate
and that the section of the electrical wires can take the load
indicated on the rating plate.
Fit a standard plug which is suitable for the power absorbed by the
appliance.
Plug in the appliance into an earthed socket.
Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension cables.
The connection can be made directly to the mains by means of an
all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm.
When the appliance is installed, the switch or socket must always
be accessible.
The supply cable must not come in contact with hot parts and must
be positioned so that it does not exceed the temperature of 75°C at
any point.
After the appliance has been installed, the electrical components
must be inaccessible.
No liability for damage or injury to persons or property will be accepted
from the non-observance of these requirements.
IF THE HOB SURFACE IS CRACKED DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE
mains. Connection TO A GOOD EARTH WIRING SYSTEM IS ABSOLUTELY
ESSENTIAL. THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY
INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RULE.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Before any maintenance on the appliance disconnect
it from the electrical power supply.
Keep children away from the griddle when in use and
after it has been switched off: during use the griddle
reaches high temperatures and remains hot for
approx. 30 minutes after it has been switched off.
The appliance must be repaired or adjusted
exclusively by a qualified technician.
Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical
appliances near the griddle do not come into contact
with hot parts.
Never touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or
feet.
Never use the appliance with bare feet.
Do not leave flammable material, plastic objects or
aluminium foil on the griddle as there is risk of fire.
Do not scratch the griddle with cutting or sharp
utensils.
Do not use the griddle as a work surface.
Important: Do not use the ceramic griddle if the glass
ceramic surface is cracked or damaged. If you note a
crack, switch the appliance off and call for the
After-Sales Service.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the griddle, when it is cool, after each use. This will prevent the
build-up of dirt and make cleaning easier.
Use a clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes and washing up liquid or
a specific glass ceramic cleaner.
Clean the stainless steel parts with a specific cleaner.
Remove baked-on dirt with a scraper which can be bought
separately and a specific cleaning product.
Food encrustations should be cleaned off before they bake onto the
griddle.
Do not use abrasive products, bleach, oven-cleaner spray or pan
scourers.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, salt or
lemon juice, etc. onto the surface.
Do not put any object on the cooktop which can melt with heat such
as plastic objects, aluminium foil or foods containing sugar. Should
anything melt on the cooktop, remove it immediately (while the
cooktop is still hot) using a special scraper to prevent any
irreversible damage to the glass ceramic surface.
Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate
into the appliance making it dangerous.
