! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

! To maximise the efficiency of all maintenance

procedures, the area around the hob must be easily accessible after it has been installed (i.e. there are no completely closed-off elements).

Electrical connection

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Single-phase connection

If the hob is tted with a supply cable,

connect it to the mains, observing the colour coding of the wires (see diagram). The yellow-green earth wire must be 5 cm longer than the other wires.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Start-up and use

! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning

product. During the rst few hours of use there may be a

smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. The appliance has 2 cooking zones and its various functions are activated by touching the corresponding controls.

Each selection must be activated within 10 seconds,

otherwise the display will switch off again.

Switching on the hob

The hob is switched on by activating the button.

Switching off the hob

Press the button to switch off the appliance - do not rely solely on the pan sensor. If the appliance controls have been locked, they will continue to be locked even after the hob has been switched back on. In order to switch the hob on again, you must remove the lock function.

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped with a cooking recipient

sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a cooking recipient is placed on it. If, once the appliance has been switched on and the cooking zone and corresponding

power level selected, the numerical indicator ashes, this

means that the cooking recipient should be placed in the corresponding position.

Heat indicators

If, after the appliance has been used, the letter “H” remains lit on the corresponding display, this means that the heating zone is still hot (temperature over 60°C); do not touch it. This indication will disappear once the hotplate has cooled down.

Buzzer

This can also indicate several irregularities:

• 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. The control panel locks automatically in the above situations. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

Overheating protection

The hob is tted with a protection device for electronic

components; in the event of overheating the power of the

hotplates is limited automatically. This could inuence

cooking times slightly.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches off the cooking zones when they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a given power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows “0”. For example: the rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 7,5 hours of continuous operation, while the front hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 9,5 hours.

Maintenance and care

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.

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.

The surface on which the cooking recipients are placed is made using glass ceramic material. When cleaning this hob, proceed as follows:

Glass ceramic hob cleaners

Window scraper Razor blade scrapers

Replacement blades

COLLO luneta HOB BRITE Hob Clean SWISSCLEANER

Available from

DIY Stores

DIY Stores, supermarkets, chemists

Boots, Co-op stores, department stores, Regional Electricity Company shops, supermarkets

• It is usually sufcient 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

(this is not supplied with the appliance). 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 rustproof steel

wire sponge - specically designed for glass ceramic

surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible lm 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.

• To prevent any burnt-on residue from building up on the

frying basket and its special rest, clean both items using a stainless steel wire sponge which has been soaked in soapy water.
