PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
•
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or
damage to property resulting from improper use (e.g. use to
heat a room).
•
The use of electrical appliances calls for adherence to certain
basic rules to ensure safety.
•
The glass ceramic hob is of robust construction; if any cracks
or breaks are noticed following bumps or impacts with heavy
objects, the hob must not be used any further. Call After-
Sales Service immediately.
•
Do not use the hob as a place to store objects or as a work
surface.
•
Do not use plastic containers on the hob.
•
If any cracks are noticed in the ceramic glass, switch off the
hob and call After-Sales Service.
•
Before switching on the hob, check that the cooking zones
and the bottoms of the pans are clean and dry.
•
When the cooking surface is switched on the cooking zones
reach very high temperatures: Keep children away from the
hob.
•
When frying with fat or oil it is advisable not to leave the hob
unattended so as to prevent any danger of overheating or
catching fire.
•
Do not heat up the cooking zones with no pan in position.
•
Electrical cables (e.g. of small domestic appliances) must not
come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
•
Do not leave kitchen towel, synthetic material or plastic
objects lying on top of the hob since they may catch fire.
•
To prevent scratches and grooves do not drag pans across
the hob's glass ceramic surface.
•
To get the best performance out of the hob, use flat-
bottomed steel saucepans whose base diameter is the same
or slightly larger than that of the cooking zone.
•
Avoid spilling sugar or similar sticky substances onto the
hob. Should this happen, immediately clean the hob
following the instructions on cleaning given in this guide.
84
USING THE HOB
•
The cooking zones available for use are clearly marked on the
hob.
•
The cooking zones are turned on, adjusted and turned off by
turning the knobs clockwise.
The four knobs marked with numbering 0 to 6 are used for
switching on the cooking zones. Each number corresponds to
a different heat setting.
The 5th knob is used to turn on the “warm keeping zone” or
one of the zone of the oval plate, or both ones
simultaneously.
•
The ceramic hob has four indicator lamps which show that
the various cooking zones have reached a high temperature.
These indicators light up straight away once the cooking
zones have reached a temperature hot enough to cause
burns.
These indicators also remain illuminated after the cooking
zones are turned off, and do not go out until temperatures
have fallen to a safe level.
The models without indicator lamps have a power-on
indicator which shows that at least one cooking zone is
turned on.
Using the warm keeping zone
This zone is used to keep dishes warm. To turn on the “warm
keeping zone”, turn the knob clockwise to the symbol.
The warm keeping zone indicator lamp (
10
) lights up.
To turn off the warm keeping zone, turn the knob back to
position “0”.
Using the dual cooking zone
Turn the knob anticlockwise to position .
The indicator lamp (
9
) lights up.
To turn off the zone again, return the knob to position “0”.
85
USING THE WARM KEEPING ZONE AND THE HOB
Using the warm keeping zone and the dual cooking
zone
Turn the knob clockwise or anticlockwise to the
position.
The indicator lamps (
10
) and (
9
) light up.
To turn the zones off again, turn the knob back to position “0”.
Note: If the dual cooking zone is to be used, check that the
rear left cooking zone is set to one of the positions 1 to 6.
•
The control knobs incorporate a specially designed
mechanism that allows them to be raised by about 1 cm to
assist with cleaning beneath them.
After cleaning the knobs have to be pressed back down into
their original position.
•
Some models have indicators next to the control knobs
(6 indicators each), which show the chosen power setting by
lighting up.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
The diameter of the cooking utensil's base should match that
of the cooking plate, or be slightly larger - but on no account
smaller.
•
The cooking utensil should have a flat bottom that rests
smoothly on the surface and thus distributes the heat
efficiently and evenly.
•
If possible, keep the pot covered when cooking. This allows
a lower heat setting to be used thus saving energy.
•
If possible, cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with only a small
amount of water. This cuts down the cooking time.
•
Using a pressure cooker saves even more energy and shortens
the cooking time.
•
Only clean the hob when the cooking zones are cold. Ensure
that the hob is clean before you use it.
•
Clean the hob with a moist sponge or cloth. Remove baked-
on dirt using the supplied scraper tool.
Important:
use the scraper as directed in the enclosed
instructions.
•
Do not use the scraper to clean the framework.
•
Use special products designed for cleaning ceramic glass;
do not use abrasive products
.
NO!

INSTALLING THE HOB
(NOTES FOR THE INSTALLER)
•
GENERAL NOTES
This appliance conforms to EEC Directive 308/87 concerning
radio interference suppression,
complies with the class “Y”
fire protection category and can be installed next to a tall
cupboard.
These appliances contain components that are allowed to come
into contact with foodstuffs.
These components conform to the EEC standard 89/109/CEE
and thus are not hazardous.
The ceramic hob can be fitted into a worktop of between
30 mm and 50 mm thickness.
A -
For a worktop made of wood use the supplied spring clips
and screws in the accessory pack.
•
Mark the position of the 4 spring clips (
A
) on the worktop,
as shown in the sketch.
•
Secure the clips using the 4 screws supplied (
B
).
•
Fit the hob into the worktop (see sketch).
B -
For worktops made of marble or other materials (laminated
synthetic materials, ceramics, natural stone) the appliance has to
be secured with special brackets, code number 4819 404 78697,
(to be requested from After-Sales Service).
•
Fit the hob into the worktop.
•
Secure the 4 fixing brackets (
C
) using screws (
E
) in
position (
D
) on the hob.
•
The position of the fixing brackets depends on the
thickness of the worktop.
89
INSTALLING THE HOB
Fitting
•
Cut an opening in the worktop of the dimensions shown in
mm on the drawing.
•
It is advisable to treat the opening with a water-repellent
substance before fitting the hob.
•
To make cutting out the worktop easier, a suitable template
can be obtained from After-Sales Service
(code number 4819 395 88001).
The minimum distance between the bottom of the ceramic
hob and the top of an underlying unit or dividing shelf made
of wood must be 90 mm.
Electrical connection
To be carried out before connecting to the power supply.
Make sure that the appliance is installed and connected to the electricity supply by a qualified
technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and in compliance with statutory and
local regulations.
Check that the voltage supply and the diameter of the appliance cable correspond to those specified
on the appliance's rating plate.
Protection against electric shock from the appliance is a legal requirement.
Before connecting up the appliance check that the shock-hazard protection is effective.
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to property resulting from
failure to observe the above procedures.
For the electrical connection use a HO5RR-F type cable as indicated in the table below:

INSTALLING THE HOB
The appliance must be connected to the supply using a
multipole switch with a minimum contact gap of 3 mm.
Important:
the power supply cable must be long enough to
allow the hob, even after connected, to be lifted out of the
worktop from above and turned over; the cable run must be
routed so as to avoid damage or overheating caused by contact
with the base.
Connection to the terminal board
Note:
the earthing wire (colour: yellow-green) must be
connected to the terminal marked with the symbol.
- Strip back the cable sheath (
B
) by about 70 mm.
- Strip approx. 10 mm of sheath from the conductors.
Insert the cable (
B
) through the opening in the cover (
A
).
- Insert the cable into the cable clamp and connect the
conductors to the terminal board as indicated in the diagram
printed on the cover.
- Secure the cable (
B
) in the corresponding cable clamp.
- Refit and secure the protective cover (
A
).
The electrical components must not be accessible after
