GENERAL

Carefully read the contents of this leaet

since it provides important instructions
regarding safety of installation, use and
maintenance.

Keep the leaet for possible future

consultation.
All the operations relating to installation

(electrical connections) must be
carried out by specialised personnel in

accordance with current regulations.

INTENDED USE

• This cooktop is intended for use in
households and similar environments.

• This cooktop is not intended for outdoor
use.

• This cooktop is not to be used in mobile

locations such as ships.

• Use the cooktop only in household­type situations for the preparation and
warming of food. All other types of use
are not permitted.

• Individuals who are incapable of
using the appliance safely because

of their physical, sensory or mental

capabilities or their lack of experience or

knowledge must not use this appliance

without supervision or instruction by a
responsible person.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Children under 8 years of age must be

kept away from the cooktop unless they
are under constant supervision.

• Children 8 years and older must only be

allowed to use the cooktop if they have

been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards
involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not

be made by children without supervision.

• WARNING: The appliance and its

accessible parts become hot during use.

Care should be taken to avoid touching

heating elements.

• WARNING: Unattended cooking on

a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous
and may result in re. NEVER try to
extinguish a re with water, but switch
off the appliance and then cover ame
e.g. with a lid or a re blanket.

• WARNING: The cooktop is hot during
use and remains so for some time after

being switched off. The risk of burns

remains until the residual heat indicators
have gone out.

• CAUTION: The cooking process

has to be supervised. A short term
cooking process has to be supervised

continuously.

• DANGER OF FIRE: Do not store items
on the cooking surfaces!

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed on
the hob surface since they can become

hot.

• Always switch the cooking zones off
after use!

• The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer

or separate remote-control system.

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! If the
cooktop is defective or chipped, cracked

or broken in any way, immediately

switch it off and do not continue to use
it. Disconnect it from the electrical power
supply.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for a specialized
installer and are a guide for the installation
process, regulations and maintenance
in accordance with the law and current

standards. If the built-in oven or any other
appliances that produce heat, need to be

installed directly underneath the cooking

hobs in ceramic glass, IT IS NECESSARY
THAT THE APPLIANCE (oven) AND
THE COOKING HOBS IN CERAMIC

5

GLASS ARE ADEQUATELY ISOLATED.
Failure to follow this precaution, could
cause a malfunction in the TOUCH

CONTROL system.

POSITIONING

The domestic appliance was built in order
to be encased on a work surface, the

way it is illustrated in the graph (Fig.1).
Predispose sealing material along the
whole perimeter Fig. 4 (the dimensions of
the cut Fig.1).
This operation is necessary to avoid any
liquids penetrating the worktop, as it is

not possible to guarantee that the top, the

glass and their connection are completely

at.
Lock the domestic appliance into place

with 4 supporters, keeping in mind the
width of the surface (Fig.2).
If the lower part of the appliance after

installation, is accessable via the lower

part of the furniture, it is necessary to
mount a separating panel keeping in
mind the distances indicated (Fig.3) if the

appliance is being installed underneath

an oven, this is not necessary.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(Fig.5)
Before making the electrical connections,
check that:

- the ground wire is 2 cm longer than the

other cables;

- the system ratings meet the ratings

indicated on the identication plate xed
on the lower part of the worktop;

- the system is tted with efcient ground

wires in accordance with the laws and
current standards.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED

The electrical safety of this appliance

can only be guaranteed when continuity
is complete between it and an effective

earthing system, which complies with
current local and national safety regulations.

It is most important that this basic safety

requirement is present and regularly tested

and, where there is any doubt, the electrical
wiring in the home should be inspected by
a qualied electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the consequences

of an inadequate earthing system such as
an electric shock.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for

damage which is the direct or indirect result
of incorrect installation or connection.
If the domestic appliance is not supplied

with a cable and/or suitable plug, use
material suitable for the absorption value
indicated on the identication plate and

the operating temperature.
If wishing to make a direct connection to

the mains, an omnipolar switch must be

installed with a minimum 3 mm opening

between the contacts and appropriate

for the load indicated on the plate and in
accordance with current standards (the

yellow/green ground conductor must not
be disconnected by a switch).
When the appliance has been installed,
the omnipolar switch must be easily
reachable.

SUITABLE COOKWARE

• Most suitable

The best pans for use on a ceramic

hob are those with a thick base which is

very slightly concave when cold. When

heated, the base attens to rest evenly
on the hob, optimising the conduction of

the heat.

• Less suitable

Pans made of glass, ceramic or

stoneware are less suitable, as they do

not conduct the heat so well.

• Not suitable

Dishes or containers made from plastic

or aluminium foil must not be used as

these melt at high temperatures.

6

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Remove any residues of food and drops of
grease from the cooking surface by using

the special scraper supplied on request
(Fig.10).

• Clean the heated area as thoroughly as

possible using suitable products, and a
cloth/paper, then rinse with water and dry

with a clean cloth.

• Using the special scraper immediately
remove any fragments of aluminium and
plastic material that have unintentionally
melted on the heated cooking area, or
residues of sugar or food with a high sugar
content. In this way, any damage to the

cooktop surface can be prevented.

• Under no circumstances should abrasive

sponges, or corrosive chemical detergents,

such as oven sprays or stain removers, be

used.

• Do not use water spray and steam to clean
the appliance.

USE (see Fig.9)

This appliance is particularly suitable for the

preparation of foods that are normally grilled or

cooked on the hot-plate (meat or vegetables)

allowing cooking without the addition of fats.

It is recommended the usage of at-bottomed

recipients with a diameter that is large enough
to cover the hotplate fully in order to use all

the available heat (Fig.8).
