Starting up
Touch the ON/OFF sensor for 3 seconds. The power 0 displays will light
up. If no power is selected within five seconds, the hotplate will automatically
switch off and must be switched on again.
OPERATING
Sensors
The vitro-ceramic cooking surface is fitted with sensors that are touch-
sensitive and also react to the presence of a reflective object.
The hotplate is operated by touching the corresponding sensors with your
fingers.
Take care to touch only one sensor at a time, otherwise they will not react to
the touch.
Setting up
While the cooking surface is inoperative, the indicators for all sensors are
switched off.
Keep the sensors clean and do not place objects on them. The sensors may
misinterpret dirt or objects placed on them as finger contacts.

Power sensors -/+
Each heat zone has a sensor next to each display (which indicates its
position on the hob). If you act on this sensor the sensor associated to the last
is selected and the corresponding display begins to flash changing its
brightness. The heat zone is deselected automatically if you do not act on
any sensors in a 10 second interval.
To change the power of the heat zone, the heat zone is chosen (acting on the
sensor associated to the position of this heat zone), and immediately you
have to act on the + or the – until obtaining the required power, between
1…9.
OPERATING
Switching off the heat zone
Choose 0 power of the heat zone you wish to turn off. If the hotplate is hot, H
will light up.
¡Warning!
If a power cut occurs while the residual heat display is on, remenber that
when power is restrored the display will not re-appear even though the
hotplate is still hot.
Residual heat display H
When activated but with level 0, the corresponding displays shows 0 and H
alternatively.
While a hotplate is still hot but switched off, the display will show H.
Depending on the power that was used, this display may remain on for up to
approximately 30 minutes.
Do not touch the area of the hotplate.
There is a risk of burning.

Hotplate blocking function
The blocking of the hotplates prevents accidental changes while they are
operating. The initial selections are maintained and the indicators remain
active. The hotplates should be blocked to prevent children from operating
them or to prevent the effects of accidental contact with containers or tools.
Press the blocking sensor until its pilot light comes on.
Unblocking
Touch the blocking sensor until its pilot light switches off.

Automatic programming 9
(quick heating)
Each control area includes an automatic programming function.
This programming allows the corresponding maximum temperature to be
reached quickly and maintained automatically.
Selection
Touch sensor + once and it is in position 9, the corresponding decimal point
to 9 will switch itself on.
Touching sensor – of the same zone will decrease to the required level
(levels 3…6 are recommended). Touch control when placed at the required
power level an “A” will flash.
After having reached the automatic heating time a short signal will be heard
and the heat zone goes on working in a conventional way. The “A” will stop
appearing.
To cancel the automatic programming touch the - sensor and the decimal
point will switch off.

Safety systems
In order to protect the electronics, if the control unit detects excessive heat
it will switch off the hotplate closest to the sensors and the letter H will
appear on the display. This hotplate can be activated when the temperature
of the electronic unit returns to normal level.
Each hotplate is equiped with an interior temperature limiter that switches
off the hotplate if the vitro-ceramic surface is heated excessively.
If any cracks appear on the vitro-ceramic surface, inmediately disconnect it
from the mains. Do not use any part of the hob until a new vitro-ceramic surface
has been fitted.
Automatic switch off
If a hotplate is left on accidentally, it will automatically be switched off after
a period of time has passed, depending on the power level that has been
selected (level 1 - 10 hours, level 9 - 1 hour).
If more than one sensor is pressed simultaneously, the keys are blocked.
If all the power levels are at 0, the control is automatically switched off after
5 seconds.
If one or more sensors are pressed for more than 30 seconds (a container or
tools is resting on the sensor), the control will automatically be switched off
and a warning will sound every 30 seconds while the sensor remains pressed.

USE OF COOKING PANS
Most stainless steel, enamel, iron,
ceramic and copper pans can be used
on vitroceramic hobs.
Aluminium pans are not recommended
as they may stain the vitreous surface,
unless they have stainless-steel
covered bottoms.
Make sure that the diameter of the pan
is at least that of the hotplate.
Avoid scarping pans over the
vitroceramic surface, as it may
become scratched.
Always lift the pan.
Never use tinfoil or plastic containers.
They will melt and fuse permanently
with the vitroceramic surface.
STAINLESS STEEL
ENAMEL
CERAMIC
COPPER
ALUMINIUM ALUMINIUM
SATINLESS STEEL
YES
Hotplates should not be switched on
without a pan on top. The base of the
pan should be flat and dry.
Pans that have been used on gas
cookers are not normally enough flat
and absorb heat badly.

IMPORTANT: If the vitroceramic surface breaks or you notice cracks on it, disconnect the hob.
Call your Repair Service.
CLEANING
Clean the vitroceramic surface
frequently, when it is cool. Never use
abrasive products or pads. Clean
with a damp cloth and soapy water.
Never use a steam cleaner.
Once a week, clean thoroughly with
specific products that preserve and
protect vitroceramic hobs (Sample in
accessory bag). Scrape off hard stuck
dirt with the scraper (Included in
accessory bag).
The manufacturer recommends
VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and
conserving your vitro-ceramic hob.
If sugar (or sugary matter) or plasttic
is accidentally burnt on the hob,
remove at once with the scraper
while it is still hot. Otherwise they
may leave a pemanent mark.
Do not use the hob as a work surface.
Be particularly careful with dirt like
soil or dust from vegetables, cleaning
powders, etc. which may scratch the
surface when pans are slid over it.
INMEDIATELY

CONNECTIONS SCHEMA
If the type of connections to which the hotplate will be installed is other than
220 to 240 V AC remove the cable and make the connection according to the
adjacent drawings. (The cable must support temperatures of up to 120ºC).
The hotplate must be connected to the mains with a plug that meets the EEC 7
publication or with a multi-pole switch with a distance between the open
contacts of a least 3mm.

Place the hob alongside the cavity in
the worktop and connect the power
cable to the electrical socket.
IMPORTANT: Carry out connection
with the power disconnected. There
must be a good grounding connection
and a switch must be provided in an
accessible place to isolate all phases,
with at least 3mm. clearance between contacts. The
manufacturer will not accept responsability for installations
carried out in a different way as informed here.
It is equipped with a power input cable for high
temperatures.
If a new power input cable is required, installation should be
performed by a technician certificated by the manufacturer.
If the power feed wire is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, by the after-sales service or by authorized
personnel for safety reasons.

Next insert the hob in the worktop
cavity, pressing down firmly to ensure a
good seal.
