Advice and recommendations
• This appliance was designed for non-professional,
household use.
• Before using the appliance, read the instructions in the
owner’ s manual carefully since it contains all the instructions you require to ensure safe installation, use and
maintenance. K eep this owner’ s manual in a saf e place
for future reference.
• When you have removed the packing, check whether
the appliance is intact. If you have any doubts, contact
a qualified professional before using the appliance.
• Never leave the packing components (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children
since these are a source of potential danger.
• The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician in compliance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer .
• The latter denies all responsibility f or improper installation which may harm persons and animals and damage
property.
• The electrical saf ety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently earthed, in
compliance with regulations on electrical safety . Alwa ys
ensure that this vital safety measure has been taken. If
you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician to
check the electrical system thoroughly .
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage
resulting from a system which has not been earthed correctly .
• Before powering the appliance, check whether the technical characteristics featured on the appliance data plate
correspond with those of the mains electrical system.
• Check that the current load of the mains supply and of
the power sockets is suitable for the maximum power of
the appliance, indicated on the appliance data plate. If in
doubt, contact a qualified professional.
• This appliance must only be used for the pur pose for
which it was expressly designed. Any other use (such
as heating a room for example) is considered to be improper and consequently dangerous.
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage
resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
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.
We advise against the installation of an induction hob
above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above
a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be
insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic
components.
• Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using
electrical appliances. The f ollowing are of particular importance:
• do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands,
• never use the appliance when barefoot,
• never use extensions,
• never pull on the power supply cable or the appliance
itself to unplug it from the mains socket,
• never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents
(rain, sun, etc.),
• do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with
the appliance to use it without supervision.
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch
off the main switch before cleaning or performing any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
• If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appli-
ance immediately. For any repairs, contact only an authorised after-sales service centre and demand original
spare parts. Failure to comply with the abo ve ma y compromise the safety of the appliance.
• Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from
the power mains when you decide not to use the appliance any longer. Also make all potentially dangerous
parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who
could play with the appliance.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. Ho wever, it may break due to a shock
caused by a sharp object, such as a tool for example. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately
and contact an authorised after-sales service centre
to have it repaired.
• Remember that the heating area stays hot for at least
half an hour after being turned off; please refrain from
placing any cookware or other items on the cooking zone
while still hot.
• Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium foil or
plastic items have been placed on the hob surface.
• Do not go near the heating zones when these are still
hot.
• If you use small electric appliances near the hob, mak e
sure their power supply cable does not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
• Make sure all pan handles are always pointing inwards
towards the centre of the hob to prevent any accidental
spills.
First use: the glue used on the hob seals ma y leave g reasy traces on the glass surface. We recommend you wipe these
off before using the appliance, with the aid of a non abrasiv e cleaner . During the first f e w hours of use, you ma y detect
a smell of rubber, which will disappear quickly.

Installation and fastening
The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter
to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and technical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and
in full compliance with the applicable norms in force.
Important : unplug the hob before all operations.
Installation
• This hob can be b uilt into a worktop simply by cutting
out the corresponding slot.
• The w orktop must be made with a material designed
to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.
• The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away
from the back wall or any other ve rtical surface in
order to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent
the surfaces around the appliance from overheating.
• If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the
latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.
• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher;
if this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating
element between the two appliances.
Fastening
Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-
ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.
Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the
characteristics of the hob and compromise its performance.
The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see diagram).
It is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all
times.
Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all
along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter
adheres fully to the worktop.
