appliance is intact. If in doubt, do not use the appli-

ance and contact professionally qualified personnel.

• Never leave the packaging components (plastic bags,

foamed polystyrene, screws, etc.) within the reach of

children since they are a source of potential danger.

• The appliance must be installed only by a qualified

person in compliance with the instructions provided.

• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for im-

proper installation which may harm persons and ani-

mals and damage property.

• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guar-

anteed if the appliance itself is correctly earthed, in

compliance with regulations on electrical safety. Always

ensure that this fundamental safety requirement is sat-

isfied; if you have any doubts call in a qualified techni-

cian to check the system thoroughly.

• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage

resulting from a system which has not been earthed.

• Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the

technical data on the plate correspond to the charac-

teristics of the electricity mains.

• Check that the electrical capacity of the system and

sockets will support the maximum power of the appli-

ance, as indicated on the data plate. If in doubt, con-

tact a qualified professional.

• This appliance must be used for the purpose for which

it was expressly designed. Any other use (for exam-

ple: heating rooms) is considered to be improper and

consequently dangerous.

• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for dam-

age resulting from improper and irresponsible use.

First use: the glue that is applied on the gaskets leaves some traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appli-

ance, we recommend you eliminate these with a special non-abrasive maintenance product. During the first few hours

of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

• A number of fundamental rules must be followed when

using electrical appliances. The following are of par-

ticular importance:

• do not touch the appliance with wet hands;

• do not use the appliance when barefoot

• avoid using extension leads

• never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to

unplug the appliance plug from the mains;

• never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric

agents (rain, sun etc.);

• do not allow children or persons who are not familiar

with the appliance to use it, without supervision.

• Always unplug the hob from the mains or switch off the

main switch before cleaning or carrying out mainte-

nance operations.

• If a crack develops on the surface of the glass, dis-

connect the appliance immediately. For repairs, call

only authorised after-sales servicing centres and re-

quest the use of original spare parts only. Failure to

comply with these conditions may compromise the

safety of the appliance.

• If you are no longer using an appliance of this type,

remember to make it unserviceable by unplugging the

appliance from the mains and cutting the supply cable.

Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appli-

ance harmless, in particular for children who could play

with the appliance.

• The glass ceramic top is resistant to thermal as

well as mechanical shocks. However, it can break

if struck violently with a sharp object, such as a

tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from

the power supply and contact an authorised after-

sale service centre to carry out repairs.

• Do not forget that the temperature of the cooking zone

remains high for at least half an hour after it has been

turned off, take care not to inadvertently place pans or

items on this hot surface.

• Do not turn on the cooking surfaces if there are sheets

of aluminium foil or plastic objects on the hob.

• Do not get too close to the hot areas of the hob.

• When using small electrical household appliances

close to the hob, ensure that the power cable does not

come into contact with the hot surfaces

• Make sure you turn the handles of pots and pans in-

wards to avoid knocking them over accidentally.

The following instructions are intended for a qualified fit-

ter to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and

technical maintenance procedures as correctly as possi-

ble and in full compliance with the applicable norms in

force.

Important : unplug the hob before all operations.

Installation

• This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting

out the corresponding slot.

• The worktop must be made with a material designed

to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.

• The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away

from the back wall or any other vertical surface in or-

der to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent the

surfaces around the appliance from overheating.

• If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the

latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.

• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher; if

this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating ele-

ment between the two appliances.

Fastening

Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-

ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.

Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the

characteristics of the hob and compromise its performan-

ce.

The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia-

gram).

It is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all

times.

Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all

along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter

adheres fully to the worktop.

Description of cooking zones

Halogen elements

This type of element transmits heat through the radiation of the halogen lamp which it contains. It is held in high regard

because of its properties which are similar to the typical characteristics of gas: rapid response to commands, instant

display of power.

The radiant elements

This type of element is made up of many coils which guarantee the uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pot,

to ensure perfect cooking on low heat: stews, sauces or dishes that require reheating.

creases progressively until it switches off.

Switching off the hob

Press the appliance switches off.

If the hob’s controls have been locked (see previous para-

graph), they will continue to be locked even after the hob

has been switched back on. To switch the hob back on, it

is necessary to unlock the controls.

Locking the controls

When the hob is operating, it is possible to block the con-

trols to prevent the settings from being accidentally modi-

fied (children, cleaning operations, etc.).

All you have to do is press ; the indicator light above

the key lights up and the controls are locked.

To modify the heating power or to interrupt the cooking

process, it is necessary to unlock the controls: press

for a few moments; the indicator light goes off and the

controls unlock..

Programming the cooking time

It is possible to programme all the cooking zones for a

duration of between 1 and 99 minutes. Proceed as fol-

lows:

•

set the desired power on the plate/s using the “+” and “-”

keys;

• press the programming key until the indicator light

in the position corresponding to the plate that you in-

tend to programme lights up;

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

;

• to confirm the programme

a. press again

b. wait approximately 10 seconds without pressing

any other keys.

The cooking time countdown begins immediately.

The end of the programmed cooking time is indicated by

means of an acoustic signal (this lasts for 10 seconds)

and the cooking zone switches off.

Repeat the above-mentioned procedure for each plate that

you intend to programme.

19

Programmed time display

If one or more plates have been programmed, the display

shows the time remaining for the plate which is closest to

the end of the programmed time, indicating its position by

means of the corresponding indicator light, which will be

on. The indicator lights that correspond to the other pro-

grammed plates will flash.

To show the time remaining for the other programmed

plates, press repeatedly; the times of all the pro-

grammed plates will be shown in sequence, in an anti-

clockwise direction, beginning from the front left one (only

the corresponding indicator light will be on and the dis-

play flashes)

Modification of programmed times

Proceed as per the paragraph “Programmed time display”

until the time of the plate you intend to modify is shown.

Press the keys “+” and “-” to set the new time.

Confirm by pressing or wait 10 seconds without press-

ing any keys.

Cancelling a programme

Display the time of the plate concerned (as in the para-

graph “Programmed time display”) and press the keys “+”

and “-” simultaneously; the programme is re-

set and you exit the programming mode.

Safety devices

Acoustic signal

Some anomalies, such as:

• an object (pot, utensil, etc.) placed on the control area

for more than 10 seconds,

• a spillage on the control panel,

• sustained pressure on one of the keys, etc.

may cause the acoustic signal to go off.

Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the acoustic

signal. The hob remains locked; all you have to do is un-

lock it to continues using it (the settings are saved). If the

cause of the malfunction is not eliminated, the acoustic

signal will carry on, while the hob will switch off for safety

reasons.

Safety switch

The appliance comes with an automatic safety switch

which goes off after a certain time interval (see table) in

accordance with the selected power. During the safety in-

terruption, the letters “TI” and “ME” alternate on the dis-

play.

for example: the right rear cooking zone is set on 5 and

the front left cooking zone is set on 2. The right rear zone

will switch off after 5 hours of operation, while the left front

zone will switch off after 6 hours of operation.

Inactivity

If the plate is switched on but is not used for approximately

2 minutes, the control lock function will be enabled. If the

same status remains for approximately another 4

minutes, the plate will switch off automatically.

Overheating

Prolonged use of the hob may cause the electrical com-

ponents to overheat.

A thermal protection device temporarily induces reduced

power (3) on the front cooking zones until the tempera-

ture has come down to an acceptable level.

21

Cleaning and maintenance

Practical tips for the use of the appliance

To get the best performance from your hob, it is essential

follow certain fundamental rules during the cooking proc-

ess and when preparing food.

• 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, so as to guarantee the use of

all the available heat.

• Make sure that the bottoms of the cookware is always

dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long

life, 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

deform the bottom of the pot; therefore, this will not

allow you to obtain the desired result when used on a

glass ceramic hob.

• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware on it

because as it heats up and rapidly reaches the maxi-

mum level, it could damage the heating elements.

Always keep the hob clean. Before performing any main-

tenance on the hob, ensure that the heating zones are off

and that they have cooled down.

Stainless steel frame (only on some models)

Stainless steel may stain due to water that is very high in

calcium, if it is left in contact with the steel for prolonged

periods of time or due to extremely aggressive cleaning

products (which contain phosphorus). We recommend that

you rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning the hob. If wa-

ter is spilled on the hob, act rapidly and dry it carefully.

Hob maintenance

The glass ceramic hob used as a heating surface is per-

fectly smooth and not porous at all; furthermore, under

normal conditions of use, it resistant to heat shock as well

as mechanical shock. In order to ensure correct preser-

vation of all the hob’s properties, we recommend that main-

tenance be carried out as follows:

• for ordinary maintenance, all you have to do is wash it

with a wet sponge, then dry it with kitchen towel paper.

• If the hob is very dirty, scrub with a product that is

specifically suited to glass ceramic surfaces, rinse and

then dry.

• to remove thicker residuals, use a scraper. Act as soon

as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool

down to prevent the residual from forming a crust. You

can obtain excellent results by using a stainless steel

wool sponge - which is specifically suited to glass ce-

ramic hobs- and which has been soaked in water and

soap.

• Once it has been cleaned, the hob may be treated with

a specific product for maintenance and protection: the

invisible film left behind by this product protects the

surface in case there are any leaks during the cooking

process. Remember to carry out these operations when

the appliance is lukewarm or cold.

• Also remember to always rinse with clean water and

to dry the hob thoroughly: product residuals could form

crusts the next time you cook.

Important tips

• Avoid using abrasive or corrosive detergents, such

as products in spray cans for barbecues and ovens,

stain-removers and anti-rust products, detergents in

powder form and sponges with abrasive surfaces, be-

cause these can all scratch the surface causing last-

ing damage.

• Remember to keep any object that could melt away

from the hob, for example plastic objects, sugar and

products with a high sugar content. If any of these

products are spilled on the hob, remove them imme-

diately (while the surface is still hot) with a razor-blade

scraper so as not to damage the surface.

• The hob must only be used for cooking. Do not place

any objects on the hob when it is not being used. Do

not use the hob as a resting surface (for cutlery,

cookware, scrubs, etc.) or as a cutting surface.

• Aluminium packaging, aluminium film and plastic con-

tainers must never be left on the surfaces that are still

lukewarm or hot.

• Do not use steam or high-pressure cleaners to clean

the appliance.
