Advice and recommendations

This appliance was designed for non-professional, household use.

Before using the appliance, read the instructions in the owner’s manual carefully since it contains all the instructions you require to ensure safe installation, use and maintenance. Keep this owner’s manual in a safe place for future reference.

When you have removed the packing, check whether the appliance is intact. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified professional before using the appliance.

Never leave the packing components (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children since these are a source of potential danger.

The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician in compliance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

The latter denies all responsibility for improper installation which may harm persons and animals and damage property.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure that this vital safety measure has been taken. If you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician to check the electrical system thoroughly.

The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage resulting from a system which has not been earthed correctly.

Before powering the appliance, check whether the technical characteristics featured on the appliance data plate correspond with those of the mains electrical system.

Check that the current load of the mains supply and of the power sockets is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance, indicated on the appliance data plate. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.

This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it was expressly designed. Any other use (such as heating a room for example) is considered to be improper and consequently dangerous.

The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.

Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic components used in the appliance.

We advise against the installation of an induction hob above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic components.

Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The following are of particular importance:

do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands,

never use the appliance when barefoot,

never use extensions,

never pull on the power supply cable or the appliance itself to unplug it from the mains socket,

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 appliance from the mains or switch off the main switch before cleaning or performing any cleaning or maintenance operations.

If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appliance immediately. For any repairs, contact only an authorised after-sales service centre and demand original spare parts. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety of the appliance.

Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from the power mains when you decide not to use the appliance any longer. Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who could play with the appliance.

The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock caused by a sharp object, such as a tool for example. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.

Remember that the heating area stays hot for at least half an hour after being turned off; please refrain from placing any cookware or other items on the cooking zone while still hot.

Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium foil or plastic items have been placed on the hob surface.

Do not go near the heating zones when these are still hot.

If you use small electric appliances near the hob, make sure their power supply cable does not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.

Make sure all pan handles are always pointing inwards towards the centre of the hob to prevent any accidental spills.

First use: the glue used on the hob seals may leave greasy traces on the glass surface. We recommend you wipe these off before using the appliance, with the aid of a non abrasive cleaner. During the first few hours of use, you may detect a smell of rubber, which will disappear quickly.

Installation and fastening

The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and technical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible 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 order 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 element between the two appliances.

Fastening

Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ceramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface. Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the characteristics of the hob and compromise its performance.

The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see diagram).

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.
