For best use of your cooktop, read the
instructions for use carefully and keep them in
asafeplace.
x
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.
x
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
damage caused by unreasonable, incorrect or
rash use of the appliance.
x
Do not try to alter the technical features of
the appliance, because this could be very
dangerous.
x
Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene pieces,
etc...) must be stored out of the reach of children as
they are potentially dangerous.
x
Check that the cooktop has not been damaged
during transport. If in doubt, consult a specialised
engineer.
x
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.

EC Declaration of conformity n
x
This cooktop is intended to come into contact with
food products and conforms with European
Directive 89/109/EEC.
x
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.
x
This cooktop has been designed, constructed and
put on to the marke t in co nformit y with:

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.

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

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.
