Halogen zones

This type of cooking zone transmits heat through the radiation of its halogen lamp. Halogen zones are

appreciated for their properties, which are similar to those of gas burners: rapid reaction to settings, instant

display of the power level.

Radiant zones

This type of burner consists of several coils that guarantee the even distribution of heat over the bottom of the

pan and ensure the success of all cooking on low heat: simmering, sauces or reheating.

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.

20

GB

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.

 It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob

using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent

kitchen roll.

 If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special

glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well

and dry thoroughly.

 Food residue and dirt can be removed using a

special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do

not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid

incrustations. For excellent results, use a special

stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass

cleaning soaked in soapy water.

 If any plastic or sugary substances are

accidentally melted on the hob, remove them

immediately with the scraper, while the surface is

still hot.

 Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a

special protective maintenance product: the

invisible film left by this product protects the

surface from drips during cooking. This

maintenance should be carried out while the

appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

 Always remember to rinse the appliance well with

clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can

become encrusted during subsequent cooking

processes.

Stainless steel frame *

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which

has been left on the surface for a long time, or by

cleaning products containing phosphorus.

After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface

well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the

surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

 Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is

similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or

degreasing products which are not suitable for use

with aluminium.

Disassembling the hob

If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:

1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on

each side.

2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in

each corner.

3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.

 Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If

the appliance breaks down, contact a Service

Centre.
