Instructions for disposal
3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
3.1Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, relating to the reduction of the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the
crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached
the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic
refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling,
treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the
environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists.
The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health
and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.
3.2Your environmental care
Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the environment
and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of
collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a
suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household
appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same
position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is
also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.

Instructions for the user
4. BEFORE FIRST USE
Before cooking for the first time, all labels and protective films applied to the inside or outside of the
appliance must be removed and the hob subsequently cleaned.
Following this, put a saucepan of water on the front hot plates and turn them on full for at least 30
minutes. After 30 minutes turn off the front hot plates and turn the rear hot plates and the central hot
plate, if present, full on. This treatment is necessary in order to get rid of the "new smell" and to
evaporate any humidity that may have accumulated during the manufacturing process. This is necessary
to ensure that the electronic circuits and the control keyboard work properly.
If the controls do not work properly after 30 minutes, it means that not all the humidity has evaporated:
leave the hot plates on until all the humidity has evaporated and then turn off the hob.
To switch on the hob, follow the instructions provided under paragraph “6. Using the hob”.
When first connecting to the mains, may be displayed. This does not mean that the hot plates are
hot, but that during factory testing the hob was switched off with residual heat active. This signal will
clear within 5 minutes.

Instructions for the user
5. GET TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE
The appliance has cooking zones with various diameters and power levels depending on the model.
Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the
glass. The cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type, they turn on after a few seconds and the heating
is adjustable using the controls on the front panel. The cooking zones with two or three concentric circles
allow double or triple heating: either within the small circle or on both circles.

5.3Advice on energy-saving
Below you will find advice on how to use your hob effectively and economically.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the
container, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure
cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid, as, if there is not enough and it
overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid.
• Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan
leads to a waste of energy.
