Heating elements

Two types of heating element may be installed, depending on the appliance model: halogen and radiant elements. Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the halogen lamps they contain. They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to see the power level instantly. Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be performed successfully, for example stews, sauces or reheated dishes.

Practical advice on using the appliance

To obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully

utilise the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter which is large

enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

• Make sure that the base of the cookware is

always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.

• Avoid using the same cookware which has been

used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.

Safety devices

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches the cooking zones off after they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows “

0”.

00 For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation, while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.

Overheating protection

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches

off automatically and

F appears on the display,

followed by a flashing number. When the temperature has reached a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again.

Buzzer

This can also indicate several irregularities:

• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed

on the control panel for more than 10 seconds.

• Something has been spilt on the control panel.

• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the

above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

Precautions and tips

! This appliance has been designed and manufactured

in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance conforms to the following European Economic Community directives:

- 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;

- 2004/108/EEC dated 15/12/04 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments;

- 93/68/EEC dated 22/07/93 and subsequent amendments.

- 1275/2008 stand-by/off mode.

General safety

! 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.

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet or damp hands and feet.

• The appliance must be used by adults only for

the preparation of food, in accordance with the instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The manufacturer may not be held liable for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.

• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.

• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (

use

see Start-up and

• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.

• Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.

• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.

• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.

• The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.

• Do not look at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones for long if they are present.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by

means of an external timer or separate remotecontrol system.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the public service provided or their local dealer.

Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for

example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on

the appliance.

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.

• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can achieve excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame)

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is

similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or degreasing products which are not suitable for use with aluminium.

Disassembling the hob

If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:

1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on each side.

2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each corner.

3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.

! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If

the appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre.

• If any plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance task should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
