BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

For best use of your cooktop, read the

instructions for use carefully and keep them in

asafeplace.

This appliance must only be used for the

purpose for which it was designed, i.e. for

cooking foods.

Any other use should be considered incorrect

and therefore dangerous.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for

damage caused by unreasonable, incorrect or

rash use of the appliance.

Do not try to alter the technical features of

the appliance, because this could be very

dangerous.

Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene pieces,

etc...) must be stored out of the reach of children as

they are potentially dangerous.

Check that the cooktop has not been damaged

during transport. If in doubt, consult a specialised

engineer.

Make sure that the i nstallation and electrical

connections are made by a qualified electrician

following the manufacturer’s instructions and

in compliance with local regulations in force.

TIPS FOR SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packaging

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is

marked with the recycling symbol

to identify the

type of material which must be taken to t he local

collection centres.

2. Product

The cooktop has been manufactured with recyclable

material. Dispose of it following the local regulations

for the disposal of waste.

Before di sposing of it make it unusable by cutting

off the supply cable.

INSTALLATION

Technical information for installation

The installation must be performed according to the

manufacturer’s instructions and in conformity with the

local regulations in force.

When fitting the hob in the unit remember that the

coatings of the walls of the unit or devices adjacent to

the hob must be heat resistant (“Y” protection against

heating according to standards EN 60335-2 6).

This hob can be built into a working surface 30 to 40

mm thick and 600 mm deep.

Before fitting the hob inside the unit, make sure that

the micro-switch box (A) has been fastened in place

(fig. 1) using the four screws supplied with the unit.

N.B.

– For correct installation refer to the assembly

instructions inside the unit.

– The micro-switch box (A) is a device which cuts the

power supply to the electric hotplates if the unit

door (B) is closed accidentally, thus preventing the

door being damaged by the excessive heat. It

should not be considered a hob safety device.

– The hob can only be used with the unit door (B)

completely open.

INSTALLATION

FASTENING THE HOB TO THE UNIT

Use the brackets (C) supplied with the hob.

Position the brackets in correspondence with the holes

of the ho b and fasten t hem t o t he unit with the screws

supplied as shown (fig. 2).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

IMPORTANT: The installation must be performed

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Incorrect installation may lead to damage to

people, animals or things for which the

manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.

– The connectio n to the el ectri cal mains must be

performed by qualified engineers and according to

the regulations in force.

– The device must be co nnected to t he elect rical

mains checking first of all that the voltage

corresponds to the value indicated in the rating

plate.

– Ifthereisaplugitmustbeconnectedtoasocket

connected to the earth system in conformity with

the safety regulations.

– The connection can be made directly to the mains

putting an omnip olar switch with minimum op ening

between the contacts of 3 mm between the device

and the electrical mains.

– The supply cable must not t ouch hot parts and must

be so po sitioned that t he te mperatur e o f 75

not exceeded at any point.

– When the de vice is installed, the switch or the

socket must always be accessible.

– The device must have its own power supply. Any

devicesinstalledneartoitmusthaveaseparate

power supply.

N.B.: Do not use adapters, reductions or distribution

blocks for the conne ction t o the mains because these

could cause ov erheating or b urns.

If the installation requires modifications of the home

electrical system or if there is incompatibility between

the socket and the device plug, professionally trained

engineers must perform the work. In particular they

must check that t he section of the socket cables is

suitable for the power absorbed by the device.

The device must be connected to the earth

system.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility

for any problem caused by failure to observe

this rule.

appliances installed nearby cannot come into

contact with the cooktop.

Keep children away from the appliance, especially

when it i s b eing used.

During and immediately after use some parts of the

EC Declaration of conformity n

This cooktop is intended to come into contact with

food products and conforms with European

Directive 89/109/EEC.

This cooktop has been designed for use only as a

cooking appliance. Any other use (e.g. heating

rooms) should be considered incorrect and therefore

dangerous.

This cooktop has been designed, constructed and

89/336/EEC and amend ments;

- Requirements of Directive 93/68/EEC.

- Electrical insulation Class I.

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid

vertical heat transmission from the heating elements

under the cooktop to the p ans o n it.

The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the

cooktop remains “cold” just a few centimetres away

from the cooking zone.

The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles

drawn on the glass ceramic surface.

Before swit ching on the coo ktop make sure that i t is

clean.

ATTENTION

During and after use of the electric hotplates

the cooktop becomes hot.

Keep children away.

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

TIPS FOR QUICK AND CORRECT

COOKING:

− To shorten t he co oking time, when switching o n the

cooktop turn the knob to maximum. After a short

time, turn the knob to the position required for

cooking.

− Use flat-bottomed cookware.

For best energy use the b otto m of the pan should

be of the same diameter as (or slightly larger than)

the cooking zone.

− As the cooking zone r emains hot for some time

after the cooktop is switched off, turn the zone off

a few minutes before the end of cooking.

The residual heat will complete the cooking.

ADVICEFORSAFEUSEOFTHE

COOKTOP

− Before switching on make sure that yo u have the

correct knob for the hotplate chosen. It is advisable

to put the pan on the hotplate before switching on

andtotakeitawayafterswitchingoff.

Attention:

Use cookware with flat and even bottoms. Uneven

bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surfaces. Be

careful that the bottom is clean and dry.

− Make s ure t hat t he hand les o f co okware do no t

stick out over the edge of the cooker, to avoid them

being knocked over by accident. This also makes it

more difficult for children to reach the cooking

vessels.

− Do not lean over the cooking zones when they are

switched on.

− Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass

ceramic cooktop. If the surface is broken or

damaged unp lug t he co okt op and cont act t he aft er-

− Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the

cooking z ones when the y a re hot.

− Remember that the cooking zones remain hot for

some time after they are switched off (about 30

min.).

− Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.

− Do not use the glass ceramic cooktop as a

work surface.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE GLASS CERAMIC

COOKTOP

Make sure that the cooktop is switched off before

cleaning it.

Remove any encrustat ion using a special scra per which

can be bought.

Remove dust with a damp clo th.

Detergents can be used, but they must not be abrasive

or corrosive.

Any remaining detergent must be completely removed

with a damp cloth.

Do not put any objects on the cooktop which can melt

with heat, such as plastic obje cts, aluminium foil, sugar

or sugar products.

If any object melts 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 knive s or sharp ob jects which could

damage the cooktop surface.

Do not use abr asive spo nges or pads which could

irreversibly damage the glass ceramic surface.

Do not use steam jet cleaners because the

humidity could infiltrate into the appliance

making it dangerous.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

The cooking zones do not heat up.

Check whether:

the corresponding regulating knob has been turned

to the correct power?

there is a power cut?

Has the micro-switch box been correctly installed?
