YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS IS PARAMOUNT

This manual and the appliance itself provide important safety messages, to be

read and observed at all times.

All safety warnings give specific details of the potential risk present and indicate

how to reduce risk of injury, damage and electric shock resulting from improper

use of the appliance. Please observe the following instructions:

- The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before carrying

out any installation work.

- Installation and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified technician,

in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety

regulations. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless

specifically stated in the user manual.

- Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.

- The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after

installation.

- The appliance is designed solely for household use for cooking food. No

other type of use is allowed (e.g. heating rooms). The Manufacturer declines

all responsibility for inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls.

- The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

any physical, sensory or mental impairment, or without experience and

knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed in

its use by those responsible for their safety.

- The accessible parts of the appliance may become very hot during use. Keep

children away from the appliance and supervise them to ensure that they

do not play with it.

- During and after use, do not touch the heating elements. Do not allow the

appliance to come into contact with cloths or other flammable materials

until all the components have cooled sufficiently.

- Do not place flammable material on or near the appliance.

- Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily. Never leave the appliance

unattended when cooking with fat and oil.

- Do not place metal objects, such as kitchen utensils (knives, forks, spoons,

lids, etc.), on the cooking zone as they can become very hot.

- If the surface of the hob should become damaged (cracked or broken glass),

do not use the appliance and call the After-sales Service immediately.

- The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer

or separate remote control system.

Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are suitable for use on the induction

hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be magnetically detected.

- Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they may scratch the hob’s

glass ceramic surface. Check dishes.

- Do not use empty pots on the hob, especially enamelled or aluminium ones.

This could result in damage to both the glass ceramic surface and the bottom

of the pots.

The worktop must be 30-60 mm thick.

If necessary, cut the kitchen unit and worktop to fit before installing the hob.

Clean the cutout of any remaining dust that could compromise appliance

operation.

If a column unit is installed adjacent to the hob, leave a distance of at least 100

mm from the edge of the hob.

1. Position the clips (A) in the spaces provided on the hob trim (Fig.3) if not

already positioned.

2. Measure the centre point of the vertical sides of the cut-out (Fig. 1)

3. Fit the brackets (C) in the centre of the vertical sides, aligning the upper

edge of the brackets so that they are flush with the worktop surface (Fig.2).

4. Fix the brackets with the 4 screws supplied (B) using the holes provided.

Control Panel Description

The control panel is equipped with touch controls: to use them, just press the

corresponding symbol (a light touch is sufficient).

Switching on and adjusting cooking

zones

After positioning the pot on the chosen cooking zone, select the required power

level by turning the knob clockwise. Each cooking zone has different heat

settings, ranging from “1” (minimum power) to “9” (maximum power).

When a knob is set to a power setting between 1 and 9 the hob indicator light

switches on.

IMPORTANT: at the position indicated by a “______” on the cooktop knobs

there is no function: the heating element is switched off.

IMPORTANT: if no pot is placed on the hob or if the pot used is not suitable for an

induction hob, the cooking zone selected will switch off after 1 minute. To

reactivate it: place a pot that is suitable for the induction hob (see section “Before

use”) on the desired cooking zone, turn the knob to “0” and then select the

desired heat setting.

Switching off cooking zones

Turn the knob to “0”.

When all the knobs are set to “0” (or to the line “____”) the hob indicator light

switches off.

Care and maintenance

Clean the hob after each use in order to avoid damaging the surface and to

prevent the formation of baked-on deposits which are difficult to remove.

To clean the hob, proceed as follows:

1. use a soft clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes or a proprietary cleaner for

glass ceramic hobs. Do not use abrasive sponges and/or metal scouring

pads;

2. food spills should be cleaned off before they bake onto the glass ceramic

surface. Sugar and foods with a high sugar content damage the glass

ceramic surface and must be immediately removed using a scraper for glass;

3. remove any stubborn food residues with a scraper or proprietary

detergents;

4. salt, sugar and sand can scratch the glass ceramic hob: clean up any such

spills on the hob immediately.

Before contacting After-sales Service:

• Read and follow the instructions given in the section “INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USE”.

• Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.

• Clean the hob and dry it thoroughly.

• Check that the knob is in the correct position: at position “0” or the levels

indicated by a continuous line, the cooking zones do not receive any power.

• If no pot is placed on the hob or if the pot used is not suitable for an

induction hob, the cooking zone selected will switch off after 1 minute. To

reactivate it: place a pot that is suitable for the induction hob (see section

“Before use”) on the desired cooking zone, turn the knob to “0” and then

select the desired heat setting.

• If the internal temperature of electronic parts is too high, the hob will

switch off automatically. Wait for the hob to cool down before using it

again. To resume operation, turn the knob to “0” and then to the desired

power level.

Before you call the After Sales Service:

• try to solve the problem (see “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE”);

• switch the appliance off, wait 30 seconds then switch it on again. to see if

the fault persists.

If after the above checks the fault persists, contact the nearest After-

sales Service.

Always provide:

• a brief description of the fault;

• the exact type and model of hob;

• the service number (number after the word Service on the rating plate) is

located on the underside of the cooktop or on the warranty booklet;

• your complete address and phone number.

If any repairs are required, please contact an authorized After-sales Service as

indicated in the warranty.
