force.  
Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-

Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the  
characteristics of the hob and compromise its perform-  
ance.  
Important : unplug the hob before all operations.  
The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia-  
gram).  
Installation  
This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cut-  
ting out the corresponding slot.  
The worktop must be made with a material designed  
to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.  
The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm (for

different ways:  
by means of a junction box: if the appliance is  
connected permanently to the mains, an omnipolar  
circuit breaker, accessible if necessary, with a mini-  
mum contact opening of 3 mm should be installed.  
Warning: If the hob is fitted above a built-in oven, the hob  
and the oven must be connected to the mains separately for  
safety reasons and to simplify operations when it is necessary  
to pull the oven out for some reason.  
by means of a socket conforming to the regulations  
in force in the country where the appliance is fitted. It  
should be accessible whenever necessary; do not use  
adaptors, multiple plugs or extensions.  
Important  
After connecting the appliance to the flexible cable, tighten  
all the screws on the terminal board. Make sure jumpers  
are installed according to the type of mains system as  
indicated in the table.

The different functions of the hob  
Description of the heating elements  
The control knobs  
The heating elements are circular in shape and turn  
red in colour only 20-30 seconds after they have been  
turned on.  
Each cooking area is equipped with a control knob to  
regulate the temperature at any time from a minimum of  
1 to a maximum of 12. The table 1 provides information  
on the settings indicated on the knobs and the corre-  
sponding, recommended uses.  
Combined halogen and electrical heating elements.  
The cooktop utilises heating elements which are made  
up of two halogen lamps and a circular heating element.  
This combination provides ideal heat distribution across  
the entire surface of the cooking area without compro-  
mising the advantages of the halogen lamps. The main  
characteristic of halogen lamps is that they produce an  
instantaneous emission of a large quantity of light and  
heat, which means:  
The “ ON” indicator light (B)  
This light comes on when one of the heating elements  
has been turned on.  
Residual heat indicator light (D)  
This light indicates that the temperature of one or more  
cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the ele-  
ments have been turned off. Some models come  
equipped with four such indicator lights, one for each of  
the four cooking areas.  
a rapid source of heat similar to that provided by gas  
burners;  
an equally rapid elimination of the heat source.  
Halogen lamps are extremely easy to use and their  
operation is similar to that of other heating elements.

Maintenance and care  
Hob care  
Advice on using your appliance  
The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is  
smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal  
shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal condi-  
tions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we  
recommend you care for your hob as follows:  
To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a  
few fundamental rules during cooking and when prepar-  
ing food.  
Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the  
heating zone.  
for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp  
sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.  
If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner  
suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thor-  
oughly.  
food residue and dirt can be removed using a spe-  
Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking  
cial scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait  
for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations.  
For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool  
pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy  
water.  
zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.  
When the hob is clean, you can apply a special  
product for the care and protection of the same: this  
type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface  
of the hob to protect the same against any spills and  
boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob  
is lukewarm or cold.  
Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to  
guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking  
zones and pans alike.  
Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The  
concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the  
bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain  
the desired result when using the pan on the glass  
ceramic hob.  
Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as  
the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly,  
which could damage the heating elements.  
Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean wa-  
ter and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning prod-  
ucts could become encrusted onto the hob during sub-  
sequent cooking.  
Recommendations  
Never use abrasive or corrosive substances,  
The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and  
mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a  
shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug  
the appliance immediately and contact an authorised  
after-sales service centre to have it repaired.  
such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain  
removers or rust removers, scouring powders and abra-  
sive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the  
hob surface irreversibly.  
We recommend you keep all items which could melt  
away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar  
or products with a high sugar content. Should liq-  
uid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immedi-  
ately (while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade  
scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface.  
Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with main-  
tenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are  
turned off and have cooled down completely.  
Stainless steel frame (only on some models)  
Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not  
Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact  
with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggres-  
sive detergents (containing phosphorus).We recommend  
you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is  
preferable to remove any water spills immediately.  
place items on the hob when the same is not in use.  
Do not use the hob as a work surface (by placing lids,  
saucepans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a  
chopping board.  
Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and  
plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.  
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure clean-  
ers to clean your appliance.  
Do not place metal items on the hob (such as knives,  
spoons, lids, etc.).  
Never heat up unopened tins: they could burst.  
The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused  
by incorrect use.
