manual as a reference guide.

3 After the packing has been removed, make sure the

appliance has not been damaged during transport. If

you have any doubts, do not use the appliance. Call a

qualified technician for assistance.

For safety purposes, keep all packing materials (plastic

bags, polystyrene foam, tacks, etc.) away from children,

as they are a potential source of injury.

4 The appliance must be installed by a qualified

technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions. Improper installation due to a failure to

follow these instructions can cause injury or damage

to persons, animals or property.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for such

damages.

5 The appliance’s electrical system is safe and secure

only when it is correctly connected to an appropriately

earthed system which complies with electrical safety

regulations. Make sure this basic safety requirement

has been complied with. If in doubt, have it checked by

a qualified technician.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for damages

caused by the improper earthing of the appliance.

6 Before connecting the appliance, make sure the

specifications on the rating plate correspond to those

of your power supply.

7 Make sure that the current of the electrical system and

the outlets are sufficient for the maximum rated output

indicated on the rating plate. If in doubt, contact a

qualified technician for assistance.

8 A multipolar switch, with a contact break of 3 mm or

more, must be fitted for installation.

9 This appliance must only be used for the purpose for

which it was designed. All other uses (for heating for

example) are considered improper and, therefore,

dangerous.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for damages

arising from improper, incorrect, or unreasonable use.

10 When using electrical appliances, the following basic

rules must be observed:

• never touch the appliance when your hands or feet are

wet.

• never use the appliance if you are barefoot.

• use extensions, if necessary, with extreme caution.

• never pull the supply cord, or the appliance itself, to

disconnect the plug from the electrical socket.

• never leave the appliance exposed to the weather (rain,

sun, etc.)

• never let children or persons unfamiliar with the

appliance use it without appropriate supervision.

11 Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work on the

appliance, disconnect it from the supply mains, either

by removing the plug from the socket, or by turning off

the power at the mains.

12 If the glass surface of the cooktop cracks or breaks,

disconnect the appliance immediately from the

power supply. For repairs contact only authorised

service centres for assistance and make sure only

original spare parts are used. Failure to do so could

impair the safety of the appliance.

13 If you decide not to use the appliance any longer, make

it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from the

mains and cutting the supply cord. Make any potentially

dangerous parts safe, this precaution is particularly

important for protecting children who might play with,

or in, unused or abandoned appliances.

14 The top made of ceramic glass is resistant to

sudden temperature changes and shocks.

However, if it is struck with pointed utensils or

objects such as cutting knives, it may crack or bre-

ak. If this occurs, disconnect the appliance

immediately from the power supply and contact

an authorised service centre.

15 Keep in mind that the cooking area remains hot for at

least a half an hour after the appliance has been turned

off. Make sure that you do not inadvertently place

containers or objects on the cooking area while it is

still hot.

16 Do not turn the heating elements on if there are plastic

objects or aluminium foil on the cooktop.

17 Do not get too close to the cooking areas when they

are hot.

18 When using small electrical appliances near the

cooktop, make sure that the supply chord does not

come into contact with those parts of the appliances

which are hot.

19 Make sure that the handles on pots and pans are turned

inward to prevent bumping them accidentally.

20 Instructions for using the appliance the first time.

The glue used to seal the glass may leave grease

residues. We recommend that these residues be

removed with a non-abrasive cleaning product before

the appliance is used. During the first few hours of use,

you may detect the odour of rubber. However, this will

disappear quickly.

The cooktop has a type Y protection against overheating.

Therefore, the appliance may be installed next to cabinets

which are higher than the surface of the cooktop.

The recessed vitreous china hob may be installed on tops

of 600 mm or more, provided these are treated with

materials resistant to temperatures of up to 100°C.

The dimensions and position of the hole are shown in fig.1.

The above sizes must be respected. Remember that

incorrect installation may lead to overheating of the

adjacent surfaces.

Keep the hob at least 40 mm from the back wall or other

vertical surfaces to ensure proper ventilation and prevent

overheating of the adjacent surfaces. A gasket is supplied

with the hob. Ensure that the gasket fits properly under

the moulding of the top.

The gasket must fit properly into the corners and around

the hob so as to create an efficient seal between the top

and the hob to prevent leaks into the cabinet below.

Mounting the hob

• Fix the 4 hooks supplied with the hob into the 4 slots

(fig.2);

• Connect the connection cable to the terminal board of

the cooker, as shown in the diagram of Fig.4;

• Fit the hob in the oven pressing the moulding firmly

into place so that the hob is well attached to the Top.

Important:

The surface on which the hob is fitted must be perfectly

flat. Warping due to improper installation may alter the

characteristics of the top and its performance.

Description

The hobs have been provided with radiant electric heaters.

These heaters are incorporated under the surface of the

hob as zones which redden while they are in use:

A. cooking area.

B. lights which indicate whether the corresponding heaters

are at a temperature in excess of 60°C - even when

the electrical supply has been switched off i.e. residual

heat.

The control knobs

Each of the hob’s heating zones is equipped with a switch

that regulates its temperature from a minimum value of 1

up to a maximum of 6. The following chart shows the

correspondence between the positions of the knob and

the different types of cooking.

How to get the best use from your hob

When using the hob, it is important to follow a few basic

rules:

• Use flat-bottomed pans so that they sit evenly on the

heating zone.

• Always use pans that cover the entire heating zone,

for maximum energy efficiency.

• Ensure pan bases are always dry and clean; this will

help keep both the hob and pans in good condition.

• Avoid cooking with pans that are used on gas burners.

The concentrated heat source of gas burners can warp

the bottom of the pan, and you will not achieve

satisfactory results on the ceramic glass hob.

• Never leave a heating zone on without a pan covering

it, otherwise it will heat up too quickly, which could

damage the element.

• The hob’s ceramic glass surface is heatproof and

shockproof. However, it could crack if struck by a

pointed object. If this happens, disconnect the power

supply immediately and contact an approved service

centre to get the hob repaired.

Cleaning and Care

Always keep the hob perfectly clean. Before cleaning it,

check that the heating zones are switched off and are

completely cold.

Stainless steel surround (some models only)

Stainless steel can become marked by long periods of

contact with very hard water or detergents with a high

phosphorus content. Rinse and dry the hob thoroughly

after cleaning. It is best to wipe off any water spills

immediately.

Cleaning the hob

Before you start cooking, clean the surface of the hob to

remove any traces of dust or food particles. The surface

must be cleaned regularly using warm water and a non-

abrasive detergent. From time to time, clean the hob with

a special ceramic glass cleaner.

Traces of food and grease should be removed as soon as

possible using a special scraper, for example

CERA

®

(not supplied).

Clean the cooktop when it is warm, using a suitable

cleaning product and paper towels, then rub with a damp

cloth, and dry. Aluminium foil, plastic or synthetic objects,

sugar or food products with a high sugar content, which

melt on the surface of the cooktop should be removed

immediately with a scraper while the cooktop is still hot.

Cleaning products made especially for ceramic glass leave

a protective film on the surface which repels residues and

grease build-up. This film also serves to protect the surface

from damage caused by food products with a high sugar

content. Never use sponges or abrasive products at any

time. In addition, chemically aggressive cleaning products,

such as oven sprays or stain removers, should not be

used.
