Installation

! Before operating your new appliance please read

this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important

information concerning the safe operation, installation

and maintenance of the appliance.

! Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the

appliance.

The following instructions are provided for qualified

installers so that they may accomplish installation,

adjustment and technical maintenance operations

correctly and in compliance with current regulations

and standards.

Important: the appliance should be disconnected

from the mains electricity supply before any

adjustment, maintenance, etc. is carried out.

Maximum caution should be used should it be

necessary to keep the appliance connected to the

electricity supply.

The appliance has the following technical

specifications:

Class: 1

Positioning

The dimensions of the appliance are given in the

figure. For trouble-free operation of appliances

installed in housing units, the minimum distances

shown in figure should be observed. Adjacent

surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able

to withstand an overheating temperature of 65 °C. On

the lower part of the stove there are 4 adjustable feet

with a screw which will allow you to level the stove

when necessary. It is essential for the appliance to be

level. Warping caused by bad positioning could alter

the characteristics and performance of the appliance

itself.

Electrical connection

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The hob is designed to work with alternating current at

the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the

data plate (situated on the bottom part of the

appliance or on the last page of the instruction

booklet). Make sure that the local supply voltage

corresponds to the voltage indicated on the data

plate. The hob is not fitted with a power supply cable,

as the cable should be sized according to the type of

electrical connection in use (see connection diagram

below). Use a H05VV-F rubber cable.

Open the terminal board following the instructions on

the diagram opposite:

To install the power supply cable, proceed as follows:

• Unscrew the wire clamp screw “V” and the contact

screws.

• Fasten the small cables beneath the screw heads

according to the diagram below.

• Fasten the supply cable in place with the clamp

and close the cover of the terminal board.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load

indicated on the data plate. When connecting the

cable directly to the mains, install an omnipolar switch

with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the

appliance and the mains. The omnipolar switch should

be sized according to the load and should comply

with current regulations (the earth wire should not be

interrupted by the switch). The supply cable must be

in such a position that no part of it can reach a

temperature of 50°C above room temperature. Before

connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• The limiter valve and the domestic system can

withstand the load from the appliance (see data

plate);

• The mains are properly earthed in compliance with

current directives and regulations;

• There is easy access to the socket and omnipolar

switch, once the hob has been installed.

* Application of the simultaneousness coefficient in

accordance with norms.

Induction zones

Induction is the fastest cooking method available.

Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone

does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is

the heating element: the pan evenly transfers heat to

its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic

material.

Each zone is controlled:

• by a selector key whose silk screen printing

reproduces the cooking zone drawing,

• and by a power adjustment set comprising two

parts (+,-).

As long as the temperature of the cooking zones

remains above 60°C, even after use, the residual

heat indicators stay on (the power display indicates

H) to prevent the risk of burns.

Start-up and use

When you connect the hob to the power supply, a

beep will sound after a few seconds: you can now turn

the hob on.

Turning on the hob

Press key to turn the hob on.

Cooking zone control

Each cooking zone is operated by a control key and

by a power adjustment set (+ and -).

Turning on a cooking zone

• To turn a cooking zone on, press the corresponding

control key and set the desired heating power (from

0 to 9) using the

“+”“+”

“+” and

“-”“-”

“-” keys.

• To set the maximum power directly (9), press key

“-”“-”

“-”

briefly.

Turning off a cooking zone

To turn off a cooking zone, press the corresponding

control key and:

• press both

“+”“+”

“+” and

“-”“-”

“-” simultaneously: the cooking

zone power drops immediately to zero and the zone

is turned off.

• or press the

“-”“-”

“-” key: the heating power drops

progressively until the zone eventually turns off.

Turning off the hob

Press the key; the appliance has been turned off.

If you have locked the hob controls (see paragraph

below), the same will still be locked when you turn the

hob back on. Unlock the controls in order to operate

the cooking zones.

The booster

To speed up the rise in temperature of the cooking

zones (see cooking zone table on the previous page),

press the

Booster

key.

The power display will indicate “

P”. The booster

function comes to an automatic stop after 4 minutes.

When the booster function is on, certain cooking

zones (see the cooking zone table on the previous

page) are limited to a maximum power of 600W.

Controls lock

When the hob is in use, you can lock the controls to

avoid any accidental changes to the settings (by

children or when cleaning, for example).

Cooking time programming

you may programme all the cooking zones

simultaneously for a maximum cooking time of 99

minutes.

Proceed as follows:

• select the cooking zone by pressing the

corresponding control key,

• set the desired heating power using the “+” and “-”

keys,

• press the programming key

• set the desired cooking time using the “+” and “-”

keys,

• confirm the programming by pressing the

key

again.

The countdown begins immediately.

The end of programmed cooking is signalled by a

beep (one minute long) and the cooking zone is

turned off.

The oven gives nine different heating element

combinations; so the most suitable type of cooking for

each dish can therefore be chosen, with convincing

results.

By turning the selector knob marked with the symbol

, different cooking functions are obtained, as

shown in the table on the right.

Symbol Function Power

0) Off -

1) Top + Bottom heating elements 2350 W

2) Bottom heating element 1300 W

3) minigrill element 1050 W

4) Grill heating element 2000 W

5) MaxiGrill heating element 3050 W

6) MaxiGrill heating element + fan 3100 W

7) Bottom heating elements+fan 1350 W

8) Rear round heating element + fan 2850 W

9) Fast defrosting 50 W

After having selected the cooking function, set the

thermostat knob

marked with the symbol °C to

the temperature required.

• For traditional cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in

conventional mode use the function

(hot

above + below).

Only put the food to be cooked into the oven when

it has reached the selected temperature and

preferably use just one shelf for cooking.

To provide heat only to the bottom or the top part of

the dishes, turn the selector to the position

(hot

below), or

(hot above).

• With this function

(fan assisted) heat is

transmitted to the foods through pre-heated air

made to circulate inside the oven by a fan. The

oven heats up very quickly so the food to be

cooked may be put into the oven as it is switched

on. Cooking is also possible simultaneously on both

shelves.

• The “fast defrosting“ function

uses no heating

elements, just the oven light and the fan.

• Grill operation: a high heat output is used for

grilling, so that the surface of the food is

immediately browned; this is particularly indicated

for meats which should remain tender on the inside.

To grill, turn the selector knob to the position

(Grill), (Maxigrill), (Maxigrill + fan).

During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to

over 200 °C and keep the oven door closed (not

even in the minigrill mode).

The oven light comes on automatically when the

selector knob is turned to any of its positions.

Indicator light

It indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light

goes out, the required temperature has been reached

inside the oven.

When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it

means that the thermostat is working properly to

maintain the oven temperature constant.

Spit - Rotisserie

This accessory is to be used exclusively when grilling

food.

Proceed as follows: insert the meat to be cooked

along the length of the spit rod, securing it with the

special adjustable forks.

Introduce the supports “A” and “B” into the holes in

the drip tray “E”, rest the rod groove on the seat “C”

and insert the oven rack into the lowest guide of the

oven; now insert the spit rod into the relative hole,

moving the groove forward into seat “D”.

Start the grill and the rotisserie by turning the

thermostat knob to the position with the

symbols.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the temperature of their exterior,

some models are fitted with a cooling fan that comes

on when the programme selector knob is turned. In

this case, the fan is always on and a normal flow of air

can be heard exiting between the oven door and the

control panel.

Note: when cooking is done, the fan stays on, even

if selector knob is set to 0, until the oven has

cooled down sufficiently.

In "Fast cooking" mode, the fan comes on

automatically only when the oven is hot.

Once you have removed the food from the oven, we

recommend you leave the oven door ajar for a few

minutes: this will drastically reduce the duration of the

cooling cycle. The process is controlled by an

additional thermostat and can consist of one or more

cycles.

Cooking tips

Cooking times may vary according to the nature of the foods, their homogeneity and their volume. When cooking a

certain food for the first time, it is advisable to choose the lowest values in the cooking time range given in the table

and then increase them if necessary.

The safety devices

Pan recognition

Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan

recognition device. The cooking zone only provides

heat in the presence of a pan which is suitable for the

cooking zone.

A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:

• that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is

not ferromagnetic,

• that the diameter of the pan is too small,

• that the pan has been removed.

Always match the

diameter of the pan with that ofdiameter of the pan with that of

diameter of the pan with that of

the cooking zones.the cooking zones.

the cooking zones.

! For correct operation, switch off the hob using its

control device and do not rely on the pan sensor.

Warning: oval cooking zones

Oval cooking zones can only be boosted if the full oval

is enabled.

Do not place two small saucepans on oval cooking

zones.

What cookware to use

Given that induction only exists when the magnetic

field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops

being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking

zone.

Use cookware made of material which is compatible

with induction (ferromagnetic material).

Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction

stainless steel saucepans are ideal.

Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta,

aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel cookware

is incompatible with induction cooking.

The easiest way to find out whether the pan is

suitable is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted

by the pan bottom and stays “stuck” to the same, the

pan is made of ferromagnetic material and can be

used on your induction hob.

We recommend you use pans with a very flat and

thick bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with

irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass

surface.

Anomalies such as:

• an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed

for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,

• boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control

zone,

• prolonged pressure on a key,...could cause a beep

to sound and the hob to turn off.

To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of

the malfunction.

To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the

cooking zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired

heating power.

Safety cut out

Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which

intervenes after a certain amount of time (see table)

depending on the power setting. When the safety cut

out has intervened, the power display indicates “0”.

for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5

and the front left zone is set to 2. The back right zone

will turn off after 4 hours of operation and the front left

zone will turn off after 6 hours of operation.

To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the

Precautions and tips

! This appliance has been designed and

manufactured in compliance with international safety

standards. The following warnings are provided for

safety reasons and must be read carefully.

Practical advice on using the appliance

To obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere

to the cooking zone perfectly.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large

enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all

the available heat.

• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is

always dry and clean to guarantee correct

adherence and durability, not only for the cooking

zones but also for the cookware itself.

• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas

burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may

have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to

adhere to the surface correctly.

• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware

placed on it because it heats up and rapidly

reaches the maximum level, which could damage

the heating elements.

General safety

• The appliance was designed for domestic use

inside the home and is not intended for commercial

or industrial use.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even

in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave

the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with

wet or damp hands and feet.

• The appliance must be used by adults only for the

preparation of food, in accordance with the

instructions provided in this booklet. Do not use the

hob as a worktop or chopping board.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical

shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a

sharp object such as a tool. If this happens,

disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains

immediately and contact a Service Centre.

• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the

appliance to prevent electric shocks from

occurring.

• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical

appliances do not come into contact with the hot

parts of the hob.

• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively

hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been

switched off. An indicator light provides a warning

when residual heat is present (

see Start-up and use

• Keep any object which could melt away from the

hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or

products with a high sugar content. Be especially

careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or

packaging:

if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may

cause serious damage to the hob.

• Always make sure that pan handles are turned

towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid

accidental burns.

• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the

plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the

cable.

• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work

without having disconnected the appliance from the

electricity mains.

• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,

etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.

• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or

other active implants:

The hob complies with all current standards on

electromagnetic interference.

Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping

with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It

is designed not to create interference on any other

electrical apparatus being used on condition that

the apparatus in question also complies with this

legislation.

Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic

fields.

To avoid any interference between your induction

hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed

to comply with relevant regulations.

In this respect, we can only guarantee our own

product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker

manufacturer or your doctor concerning its

conformity or any possible incompatibility.

Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply

before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for

example, products in spray cans for cleaning

barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust

products, powder detergents or sponges with

abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface

beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on

the appliance.

Inside the oven door:

When cleaning the appliance, do not use rough or

abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers to clean the

glass doors of the oven, as these may scratch the

surface and cause the glass to break.

Inside the oven *

• The inside of your oven is coated with a special self-

cleaning microporous enamel glaze which, at a

normal cooking temperature of between 200 and

300°C, oxidises and completely eliminates all

grease spots or other substances that inevitably

attack the inner walls of the oven. This way,

cleaning is kept right down to a minimum: as a

matter of fact, you just need to rub the surfaces of

the oven with a wet cloth regularly, after cooking, to

remove the thin layer of ash that may have been

deposited during cooking, in order to maintain the

self-cleaning property of the oven intact.

• After cooking where liquid has overflowed or when

the dirt has not been eliminated completely (for

example when grilling food, and the temperatures

reached are not high enough for the full self-

cleaning action of the enamel to be performed), we

recommend you leave the oven on at maximum

temperature so that all grease residue and the like

are eliminated.

• If, after long-term use, you find evident grease

stains deposited on the self-cleaning oven walls,

probably due to your failing to follow the above

maintenance advice, clean the surfaces thoroughly

with hot water and a soft cloth (do not use any

detergents), then rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Do not remove any dry caked-on grease using

sharp objects, as these could etch the self-cleaning

coating.

• If the self-cleaning surfaces inside the oven are

damaged or worn, due to incorrect or poor

maintenance or after many years of use, you can

request a kit of self-cleaning panels to line the

inside of the oven. To order these, just contact an

authorised Service Centre.

Oven exterior:

• Only clean the appliance when the oven is cold.

• The steel parts and especially the areas with the

screen-printed symbols should not be cleaned with

solvents or abrasive detergents. It is advisable to

use only a damp cloth with lukewarm water and

washing up liquid.

Stainless steel may remain stained if in long-term

contact with very calcareous water or aggressive

detergents (containing phosphorus).

It is therefore always necessary to rinse and dry all

surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.

Important: cleaning operations must be made

horizontally, in the direction of the steel glazing.

• After cleaning, any treatments to polish the surfaces

may be performed: only use specific products for

stainless steel.

Important: do not use abrasive powders, aggressive

detergents or acidic substances for cleaning.

Hob:

• The removable parts of the burners on the hob

should be washed frequently with warm water and

soap, making sure to remove any caked-on

substances. Check that the gas outlet slits are not

clogged. Dry the burners carefully before using

them again.

• Clean the end part of the automatic glow plug

ignitors of the hob and gas oven frequently.

Only available on certain models.

Disassembling the oven door

To make it easier to clean the inside of your oven, the

oven door can be removed, by proceeding as follows:

• Open the door completely and lift the 2 levers “B”;

• Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by

pulling out the hooks “A” as shown.

To reassemble the door:

• With the door in a vertical position, insert the two

hooks “A” into the slots;

• Ensure that seat “D” is hooked perfectly onto the

edge of the slot (move the oven door backwards

and forward slightly);

• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers

“B” downwards and then shut the door again.

Greasing the taps

As time passes, a tap may lock or become difficult to

turn. In this case it will be necessary to clean inside

and replace the grease.

This procedure must be performed by a technician

authorized by the manufacturer.

Changing the oven lightbulb

Make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the

electricity supply.

Unscrew the glass protective cover from inside the

oven, unscrew the lightbulb and replace it with an

identical one suitable for high temperatures (300°C)

and with the following characteristics:

- Voltage 230 V

- Wattage 15 W

- Type E 14.
