disconnect the electricity leading to the hob

at the main power supply. Failure to do so

could result in electrical shock or injury.

2. If the hob is cracked, do not operate it but

switch off electricity at the main supply and

then, contact the After-Sales Service.

3. The glass ceramic hob has a good

mechanical strenght and can withstand

small accidents, misuse, however, if some

objects should fall on the surface and

damage it, please do not use the hob but

disconnect it from the main supply and

contact the nearest Service Centre.

4. Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a

working surface.

5. Do not use plastic utensils or aluminium foil

container to cook food on the glass ceramic

hob.

6. Do not use pans with wet bases.

7. When the hob is in use the surface of the

cooking zone is very hot; keep children

away from it.

8. As overheated fats and oils can easily ignite,

do not leave frying food unattended.

9. Do not operate the cooking zones without

anything on them.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

10. Do not let electric wires (i.e.: of small

household appliances) to come into

utensils or any other material which could

ignite on the hob.

12. Take care not to scratch the surface of the

hob with the bottom of pans.

13. For best cooking results, we recommend

the use of stainless steel pans with flat

bases.

The diameter of the base must be the same

or slightly greater than that of the cooking

zone.

14. Never sprinkle sugar or sweetened food

such as jam, jellies and juices on the hob.

Should it happen, please clean immediately

the hob thoroughly following the cleaning

instructions.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

The cooking zones are circumscribed and visi-

ble on the hob surface. The cooking zones are

controlled by knobs marked 0 to 12 or 10, sit-

uated on your oven. Every number on the

knob corresponds to a specific temperature of

the cooking zone.

The four pilot lamps indicating residual heat

are located at the front of the hob between

the two front cooking zones. The location of

each pilot lamp corresponds to the zone it rep-

resents. A pilot lamp will remain lit as long as

its cooking zone is hot, turning OFF only when

the cooking zone is sufficiently cool.

You will find informations on the layout and

use of the controls in the Operating

Instructions booklet contained in the respective

oven or control panel.

1. Mounting on ready surface to

lean the hob

The leaning surface in the hole can be made

either by milling the borders in order to obtain

a leaning surface of 8.5 mm wide by 9 mm

high or by mounting 4 ledges to create a sup-

port frame for the hob as shown on Fig.1

INSTALLATION

Fig. 1

1.1 Preparation of the working

surface

Clean the hole from any dust or dirt.

- Brush 1 or 2 hands of special primer and dry

for about 30 minutes. This will protect the lean

surface against penetration of humidity and

shall increase the adherence of the bonding

material.

1.2 Mounting in a hole of the

working table prepared as per Fig.

1 above

Fix the autoadhesive washer on the cleaned

leaning area. In the angle zones and eventually

in the center of the leaning zone, fix 3-4 cms

strips of mastic sealing supplied at on interval

of about 10 cms from each other, then apply

strip of silicone high approx. 3-4 mm as per

Fig. 2.

With cleaning soap, clean properly the borders

of the hob to remove any oil grease or other

dirt from the hob borders.

Introduce in the hole the glass ceramic hob

and position it properly in the hole so as to

have equal distances all around.

Press slightly and evenly on the glass ceramic

hob top, specially on the angles sides, in order

to get the glass top levelled with the border of
