PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

Page 7

Switch on the electric hotplates by turning the knob to the position required.

Once the food is boiling turn down the power according to the heating intensity required. The hotplate will continue to give out heat for 5 minutes after it has been switched off.

The features of these electric hotplates, which are fitted with a heating limiter, allow:

– rapid reaching of the temperature – maximum use of the power with flat-

bottomed

– limitation of the power if the pan is

unsuitable.

The hotplate temperature is adjusted by a 7-position changeover switch. The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the operating positions with temperature increasing with the number.

CORRECT USE OF THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATES

When using the electric hotplate: – absolutely avoid idle operation (with-

out pans)

– try not to spill liquids on the hotplates

when they are hot

– only use pans with flat bottoms (elec-

tric type)

– to save electricity use lids when pos-

sible

– always use pans which cover the hot-

plate surface completely.

Operation of the electric hotplates is signalled by an indicator light.

ATTENTION During and after use of the electric hotplates the cooktop becomes hot. Keep children away.

Page 9

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid vertical heat transmission from the heating elements under the cooktop to the pans on it.

The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the cooktop remains “cold” just a few centimetres away from the cooking zone.

The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles drawn on the glass ceramic surface.

Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.

ATTENTION During and after use of the electric hotplates the cooktop becomes hot. Keep children away.

HALOGEN ZONES

The heating element consists of halogen lamp and an electrical resistance. It instantly reaches the required temperature. The area is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1 (minimum position) to 12 (maximum temperature). Warning for eyes: Do not stare at the lamp when it is on).

“HILIGHT” RADIANT ZONES

The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly. Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1 (minimum position) to 12 (maximum temperature).

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE COOKTOP

– Before switching on make sure that

you have the correct knob for the hotplate chosen. It is advisable to put the pan on the hotplate before switching on and to take it away after switching off.

– Use cookware with flat and even bot-

toms (be careful when using cast iron vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful that the bottom is clean and dry.

– Make sure that the handles of cook-

ware do not stick out over the edge of the cooker, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking vessels.

– Do not lean over the cooking zones

when they are switched on.

– Do not leave objects of any type on

the surfaces made of ceramic, glass or similar fragile material.

– Do not drop heavy or sharp objects

on the glass ceramic cooktop. If the surface is broken or damaged unplug the cooktop and contact the aftersales service.

– Do not put aluminium foil or plastic

objects on the cooking zones when they are hot.

– Remember that the cooking zones

remain hot for some time after they are switched off (about 30 min.).

– Follow the cleaning instructions care-

fully.

– If the cooktop has halogen lamps, do

not stare at them.

– If you note a crack in the cooktop,

switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR LIGHTS

When the cooking zone temperature is higher than 60°C, the corresponding indicator light comes on to signal that the zone is hot.

This light remains on even after the cooking zone has been switched off, to signal that the zone itself is still hot. The cooking zones remain hot for some time after they are switched off. During this time do not touch the cooking zone and make sure that children do not touch them.

The light goes out automatically when the cooking zone temperature drops below 60°C.

TIPS FOR QUICK AND CORRECT COOKING:

– To shorten the cooking time, when

switching on the cooktop turn the knob to maximum. After a short time, turn the knob to the position required for cooking.

– Use flat-bottomed cookware.

For best energy use the bottom of the pan should be of the same diameter as (or slightly larger than) the cooking zone.

– As the cooking zone remains hot for some

time after the cooktop is switched off, turn the zone off a few minutes before the end of cooking. The residual heat will complete the cooking.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects. Do not use the glass ceramic cooktop as a work surface.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE COOKTOP AND CONTROL PANEL

● Before cleaning the cooktop switch it

off and wait for it to cool down.

● Clean with a cloth wetted with hot

water and soap or water and liquid detergent.

● Do not use steel pads or products

which are abrasive, corrosive or chlorine based.

● Do not leave acid or alkaline sub-

stances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice etc.) on the cooktop.

ENAMEL COOKTOP

● Enamel parts must be washed with a

sponge and soapy water or other nonabrasive products. Dry with a soft cloth. If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato sauce and vinegar are left on the enamel for a long time it will become stained.

STAINLESS STEEL COOKTOP

● Clean with special products which are

available on the market.

Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the electric hotplates, because of the high temperature.

ELECTRIC HOTPLATES

● Clean when the hotplate is lukewarm.

● Clean with a cloth wetted with water

and salt and finish by rubbing with a rag dampened with oil.

● Do not use water, to avoid the forma-

tion of rust.

CLEANING THE GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

Make sure that the cooktop is switched off before cleaning it.

Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought. Remove dust with a damp cloth. Detergents can be used, but they must not be abrasive or corrosive. Any remaining detergent must be completely removed with a damp cloth.

Do not put any objects on the cooktop which can melt with heat, such as plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugar products. If any object melts on the cooktop, remove it immediately (while the cooktop is still hot) using a special scraper, to prevent any irreversible damage to the glass ceramic surface. Do not use knives or sharp objects which could damage the cooktop surface. Do not use abrasive sponges or pads which could irreversibly damage the glass ceramic surface.

Do not use steam jet cleaners because the humidity could infiltrate into the appliance making it dangerous.

INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL PART

IMPORTANT: Install the cooktop following the manufacturers instructions. Incorrect installation can cause damage to people, animals or things, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

– The appliance must be connected to

the mains by a competent electrician and according to the regulations in force.

– The appliance must be connected to

the mains, checking first of all that the voltage corresponds to the value given on the rating plate and that the section of the electrical cables can take the load indicated on the rating plate.

– Fit a standard plug which is suitable

for the power absorbed by the appliance.

– The plug must be put into a socket

connected to the earth system in compliance with safety rules.

– For the United Kingdom:

As the colours of the wire of the supply cable of this appliance may not correspond with the colours which identify the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows:

– the yellow/green wire must be con-

nected to the plug terminal marked with the letter E or with the earth symbol or coloured green or yellow/green;

– the blue wire must be connected to

the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black;

– the brown wire must be connected

to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red;

– The connection can be made directly

to the mains by putting an all-pole switch with minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains.

– The supply cable must not touch hot

parts and must be so positioned that it does not exceed the temperature of 75°C at any point.

– When the appliance is installed the

switch or socket must always be accessible.

– The appliance must have its own sup-

ply; any other appliances installed near it must be supplied separately.

NB. For connection to the mains do not use adapters, reductions or shunts because these can cause overheating or burning.

If the installation requires modifications to the domestic electrical system or if the socket and the appliance plug are not compatible, contact a professional electrician. He must, in particular, also make sure that the section of the socket cables is suitable for the power absorbed by the appliance.

The appliance must be connected to the earth. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any problem caused by failure to observe this instruction.
