Installation advice
Touch-control ceramic hobs are particularly sensitive
electrical appliances.
Leaving aside the end result, these hobs, produced by
a specific technique, are completely different from
conventional hobs.
Since the electronic equipment is extremely sensitive,
special care must be taken when installing the hob,
which will be affected by knocks or humidity.
Moreover, because of their special structure touchcontrol hobs have a built-in installation height which
exceeds
ordinary hobs.
The unit below the hob has to be modified during builtin installation and assembly.
To allow built-in installation, the engineer must remove
the front and rear stabilizer cross-pieces at each end of
the wooden unit.
Since this unit is often installed between other units, its
stability is not impaired.
However, this modification is not possible on all units.
Corner units, for example, usually have a swivel body
fixed at the bottom and top by means of a beam.
In this case, the top part cannot be removed because
the swivel body might fall if disconnected from the
stabilizer.

There may also be problems in installation if the unit
below the hob contains a built-in appliance which uses
water or produces steam (refrigerators, dishwashers,
washing machines and some types of oven).
Experience has shown that the heat generated between
the appliance and the hob without ventilation will cause
condensation which damages the hob.

Optimum protection of the opening
The wood used in the tops of kitchen units may change
shape (e.g. swell) if humidity is present.
Apply a varnish or special adhesive to the sides of the
opening made for built-in installation to assure proper
protection.
Permitted level of protection against fire, and
instructions for use
The appliance has «type X» protection against
overheating (EN 60335-2-6/1990) and can be installed
against walls higher than the work top. For this, it is
important to leave a gap of

The hob is complete with a special adhesive seal «A»
which prevents any infiltration into the unit. The seal
must be carefully fixed around the edge of the opening
for built-in mounting, pressing lightly with the hand to
ensure that it sticks.
Remove the paper protection and place the hob on the
seal.
The seal guarantees a waterproof finish and a perfectly
smooth work top. Fix the hob to the unit using the
brackets already fitted to the appliance.

supply before any adjustments, maintenance, etc.
Electrical
connection
Make sure that the mains electricity supply in the home
is of the voltage and power indicated on the date plate
underneath the hob.
The power supply lead is not supplied.
Use a cable of type H05RRF or H05RNF, bearing in
mind that the earth wire (yellow-green) must be about
20 mm. Longer at the end for connection to the
appliance. Make sure that the lead is not in contact with
heated zones.
On installation, provide an omnipolar circuit breaker
with minimum distance between contacts at least 3 mm
on the appliance power supply line, at a point easily
reached from the appliance.

General advice
Controls
Press only one key at a time. If two or more keys are
pressed simultaneously, no command will be
considered.
Keep the control panel clean and free. The device
recognises any metallic object placed on a key as a
command.
Dry any spills and clean any stains immediately. Never
place small kitchen utensils, pans, cloths etc. on the
keys.
In any case, if any object covers one or more controls
during operation, a continuous beeper will warn the
user.
Warning:
over and cover the control keys, the sensorial surface
automatically switches off and must be cleaned before
being switched on again.

The controls should also be disabled to prevent
accidental switch-on (by small children, pets, long
periods out of use, etc.).
N.B.:
equipped with a temperature limiter which cuts out the
heating elements.

Important!
The hob glass is very tough but not
shatterproof: it may be damaged by violent knocks with
hard or sharp objects.
In case of breakage, cracking or crazing, the glass must
not be used again and the appliance must be
disconnected from the electrical mains immediately.
You are advised to contact the after–sales service.
During testing, the hob may give off an acrid smell or a
smell of burning which will disappear completely in a
few minutes.
For good efficiency and minimum energy consumption,
use only casserole dishes and pans suitable for electric
hobs (i.e. with perfectly flat bottoms).
Pan bottoms must at least be as large in diameter as
the ring marked on the glass. If they are smaller, energy
will be wasted, and so larger pans should be used.
The pan bottom and the glass surface must always be
clean and dry.
These rules are fundamental; failure to observe them
will lead to loss of heat and thus wasted energy.

Cleaning, maintenance and suggestions
Before doing any work, always disconnect the
appliance from the electrical mains and read the
following instructions carefully.
The glass must be cleaned regularly after each use,
when it is cold or still lukewarm.
1) Use flat, dry pans only. Steel pans or those with
uneven bottoms must not be used because they
might scratch the glass.
Marks or silvery streaks are caused by accidentally
dragging aluminium pans over the hob, or chipped
enamelled pans.
Check the condition and flatness of pan bottoms
periodically.
These marks or streaks can be removed by
cleaning the hob with vinegar.
2) Never spill sugar on the hob while cooking; if this
happens by accident, switch off the hob
immediately and clean the part affected with the
scraper or with hot water before the zone cools, and
dry with a cloth.
If the glass is not cleaned immediately, the sugar
may form deposits which are impossible to remove.
3) Any burnt residues left on the cooking zone after
cooking must be removed immediately with the
scraper provided. Rinse with water and dry
thoroughly.
The scraper means that no other mechanical
cleaning aids are required and minimizes the need
for chemical cleaning products.
4) Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as
spray cleaners for grills and ovens, stain or rust
removers, powders or metal scouring pads.
46
5) Keep everything which might melt, such as plastic
items, aluminium foil and all sweet products, well
away from the hob.
If something has accidentally been allowed to melt
on the hob, remove it immediately using the scraper
(while the surface is still hot) to avoid possible
damage to the glass.
6) As a general rule the glass hob should not be used
as a work top.
Grains of sand from vegetables, for example, may
accidentally stick to the bottom of a pan and leave
scratches on the hob.
7) In case of any malfunction, such as overheating or
inadequate heating of a zone contact the after-sales
service as soon as possible.
Our company declines any responsibility in case of
damage to the glass due to failure to comply with
the instructions given above.
Important!
Do not clean the hob until the residual heat
warning lights (6) have gone out.
