• Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones
when there is no pan in position.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when
frying food -risk of fire.

• If the glass ceramic surface should break or crack
due to violent impact (falling objects, etc.) do not
use it and call the After-Sales Service immediately.

• Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil,
plastic containers or cloths on the hot cooking
zones.

• Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic surface

- risk of scratches.

• Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on the
cooktop. If necessary, clean the cooktop
immediately following the care and maintenance
instructions in this handbook.

• If the hob is fitted with halogen lamps, do not
stare at the bulbs directly.

Before use

Energy saving tips

For optimum results, observe the following advice:

• Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is
equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly
larger.

• Avoid the use of high pressure water or steam
cleaning equipment.

• If liquid spills or boils over, the hob may switch off:
to enable it to be switched back on again,
carefully dry the controls zone.

• The cooktop features different size
hotplates/cooking zones. Use pots whose base
diameter is the same as that of the
hotplate/cooking zone.
To avoid permanently damaging the glass
ceramic cooktop, do not use:

- pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat;

- metal pots with enamelled bottom.

• When finished cooking, press button .

• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or a
support surface.

• Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.

• If possible, keep pot lids on when cooking.

• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in
order to cut down cooking time.

• A pressure cooker allows you to save even more
energy and time.

Installation instructions

Installation

Cooktop

• The cooktop must be set into a worktop between
20 mm and 50 mm deep

• There must be nothing between the cooktop and
the oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).

• The distance between the lower face of the glass
ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating
panel must be at least 20 mm.

• If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column
unit, leave a distance of at least 100 mm from the
edge of the cooktop to the side of the column
unit.

• Make an opening in the worktop, respecting the
dimensions indicated in the enclosed product
description sheet.

• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless
it has already been fitted), after having cleaned its
surface.

Important! In order to prevent the electronic circuits
from overheating, and therefore from being
damaged, we recommend the following:

• Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or
washing machine, so that the electronic circuits
do not come into contact with steam or moisture,
which could damage them.

If an hob from our range is installed beneath the
cooktop, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling
system.

If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds
the maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop
will switch off automatically; in this case, wait for a
few minutes until the internal temperature of the
electronic circuits reaches a tolerable level, at which
point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.

• Switch the hob off after use.

same heat setting triggers
automatic switch-off of the
cooking zone (for example, after
around 1 hour at maximum heat
setting, the cooking zone switches
off).

Cooker care

Care & maintenance

Care and maintenance

Clean the cooktop, when it is cool, after each use. This
will prevent the build-up of dirt and make cleaning
easier.

WARNING

• Use a clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes and
washing up liquid or a specific glass ceramic
cleaner.

• Remove baked-on dirt with the supplied scraper
tool and specific cleaning products.

• Food spills should be cleaned off before they bake
onto the glass ceramic surface.

At all costs avoid the use of high
pressure water or steam cleaning
equipment.

• Foods with high sugar content (toffee, fruit juice,
jam, etc.) that boil over while cooking, or
spattered sugar stains must be immediately
removed using a scraper even if hot.

• Do not use abrasive products, bleach, hob­cleaner spray or pan scourers.

The cooktop should be treated periodically with a
proprietary brand of protective wax for glass-ceramic
hobs.

Troubleshooting guide

Cooktop not working

• When pressing the control buttons, did you follow
the instructions in the section “Using the hob” in
the enclosed ”Product Description Sheet”?

• Is there perhaps a power failure?

• Did you dry the hob carefully after cleaning it?

1. If a cooking zone has been selected and an “F” or
an “ER” appear on the display followed by a
number, contact the After Sales Service and
inform them.

- With the exception of the message “F03” or

“ER03” that identifies the incorrect cleaning of
the controls area.

- To solve the problem follow the instruction in

the “Care and maintenance” of the glass­ceramic hob paragraph.
