Before the first use

Before using the hob for the first time, switch the plates
on for about 10 minutes at the maximum position.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and
produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the
first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a
few minutes.

Operation

Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 1 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6)

for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to
the required setting.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.

Pilot Light

The Pilot Light will come on each time a cooking zone is
switched on.

You can switch off the plate a short while before you
finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on
the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in
well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which
is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being
split onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them
or with an empty pan on them.

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:

 They should be fairly heavy duty
 They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

 They should have a flat base to ensure good contact

with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given
in the following table.

OFF 0

Very Gentle 1 To keep food warm

To melt butter and chocolate

Gentle 2 To prepare cream-sauces,

stews and milk puddings
or to fry eggs

Slow 3 Dried vegetables, frozen

food, fruit, boiling water
or milk

Medium 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh

vegetables, pâtés, soups,
broths, pancakes or fish

High 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish,

omelettes, steaks

Fast 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control
knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob
from the electricity supply.

Never use steam or a steam cleaning
machine to clean the appliance.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following
products are recommended:

- For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner.

- For other hobs use warm water and soft detergent.

The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling
them upward for easier cleaning.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using
warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To
keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can
be purchased from most hardware stores.

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the
plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant
odour when next used.

Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may
become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration.
This also applies to the area around the hotplates on
stainless steel hobs.

Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead
to rust and corrosion forming on the surface.

The side walls of the unit must not exceed the height of

of inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, tea towels, etc.).

Before fitting the hob into the cut out, a sealing gasket
supplied with the hob must be fitted to the edge of the
cut out. It is essential that no gaps are left in this seal in
order to prevent spillage near the hob seeping into the
cabinet below.

1) Place the sealing gasket all around the edge

The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents
the ingress of liquids.

of the cut out.

2) Place the hob into the cut out and secure it by
means of the relevant fixing clamps and screws,
as shown in Fig.3.

3) Remove the excess seal

If several 30cm hob are to be installed side by
side into the same cut out, an assembly kit
including a support side bracket and
supplementary sealings is available at our After
Sales Centres. The relevant installation
instructions are supplied within the kit package.

Possibilities for insertion

Building over a kitchen unit with
door

Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the bottom
of the hob which can be hot when in operation. The
recommended solution is shown in Fig. 4.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily
removable to allow easy access if technical assistance
is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can
be used for connections.

Kitchen unit with oven

The hob recess dimensions must comply the indication
given in Fig. 2 and the kitchen unit must be provided with
proper openings to allow a continuous supply of air.
Suggestions to ensure a proper ventilation are shown in
Figs. 5 and 6.
The electrical connection for the hob must be separate
from the electrical connection for the oven, to ensure
safety and to allow an easy removal of the oven from the
unit, if necessary.

Electrical connection

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V
monophase electricity supply.

The connection must be carried out in compliance with
the laws and regulations in force.

Before the appliance is connected:

1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation
can support the load (see the rating label);

2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in
compliance with the current rules;

3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for
the electrical connection can be easily reached with
the appliance built in the forniture unit.

The appliance is supplied with a connection cable. This
has to be provided with a proper plug, able to support the
load marked on the identification plate. The yellow/green
earth wire must be approximately 2 cm. longer than the
phase wires. The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.

If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system,
it is necessary that you install a double pole switch
between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a
minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with
the current rules.

Neutral

Earth (yellow/green)

Fig. 7

The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in
each part, it cannot reach a 90 °C temperature.
The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal
block contact marked with "L") must always be connected
to the live phase.

Replacement of the connection cable

If the connection cable must be replaced, only a type
H05V2V2-F T90 cable must be used. The cable section
must be suitable to the voltage and the working
temperature.
The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2
cm. longer than the phase wires (Fig. 7).
To open the terminal block and reach the terminals,
proceed as follows:

1. insert the point of a screwdriver into the visible

protrunding part of the terminal block;

2. exert a light pressure and lift (Fig. 7)

The hob is supplied with a three pole terminal block
designed for a 230 V connection (Fig. 8).
The earth wire must always be connected to the terminal

marked with the symbol (Fig.9).
Upon completion, secure the connection cable with the

cable clamp.
