INSTALLATION
For the ELECTRIC WIRING DIAGRAM see figure 2 at the back of this manual. The electrical
power is indicated on the nameplate underneath the hob. A copy of the nameplate is glued
to the cover of this manual.
The appliance must be installed by qualified staff working in accordance with the regulations
in force.
POSITIONING (fig. 3)
Free the hob from the packaging accessories, including the
films covering the chrome plated or stainless steel parts.
Place the hob well away from items of furniture taller than
the hob for built-in installation. Any partition parallel to the
hob must be at least 1 cm lower than the box unit in which it
is installed, and a square opening with sides of 10 cm must
be made under the gas hose elbow
FIXING
A self-adhesive seal (A) is supplied with the hob. This must
be placed under the edge of the box unit, as close as
possible to the edge itself (fig. 4). The seal must run all round the unit to ensure a perfect
seal and prevent moisture from seeping under the hob.
The hooks are secured directly to the box unit using the screws.
Place the hob in the hole in the work top, making sure that the adhesive ensures a good
seal between the edge of the hob and the surface of the supporting unit (fig. 5) and
conclude fixing by tightening the screws which secure the hooks (C) into their seats (fig. 6).

CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Before making the connection, check that: -
The mains voltage is as indicated on the nameplate.
The earth connection is in good working order. If the socket is not easily accessible, the
installation engineer must provide a switch with a contact-breaking gap of 3 mm or more. If
the appliance power lead is not fitted with a plug, use an approved standard type,
remembering that: -
• The green-yellow wire must be used for the earth connection;
• The blue wire is the neutral;
• The brown wire is live;
• The lead must never touch hot surfaces over about 75 degrees C;
• In case of replacement, the power lead must be of type H05RR-F or H05V2V2-F of
adequate gauge (see fig.2) for gas and all-electric appliances, and type FR 3 R3 of
adequate gauge (see fig.2) for gas/electric appliances;
• The power supply lead must only be replaced by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT: the manufacturer declines all liability for damage due to failure to comply
with the regulations and standards in force. Check that the appliance is correctly connected
to the earth (see diagrams in fig. 2).
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
The different heat settings are obtained as follows: -
1 = minimum setting for all hotplates.
6 = maximum setting for normal and rapid hotplates (with red disc).
0 = off.
Pans must never be smaller in diameter than the hotplates and their bottoms must be as flat
as possible (see fig. 12).
IMPORTANT
Never leave hotplates on without pans, except when first used; leave for about 10 minutes
to dry oil or moisture residues;
• If the hotplate is to be out of use for a long time, apply a little grease to its painted
surface.
• Do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate, requiring the use of abrasive cleaners.

For economical cooking:
• Use pans with flat bottoms, which are in contact with the hotplate in all points.
• In stainless steel with thick or sandwich bottom.
• In aluminum with thick, flat bottom;
• In enameled steel.
• Make sure that pans are of appropriate size; the pan bottom diameter must be equal to
or larger than that of the hotplate used.
• Switch the hotplate off a few minutes before the dish is completely cooked.
• Use a lid whenever possible to prevent losses by evaporation.
• Never supply more power than the food is able to absorb; excess heat leads to losses of
water and fats and wasted energy.
• Never use more water than necessary.
The table below will serve as a guide, bearing in mind that cooking times and temperatures
may vary depending on the type and amount of foods cooked and personal taste.
