Installation and fastening
The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter
Fastening
to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and tech-
nical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and
in full compliance with the applicable norms in force.
Important : unplug the hob before all operations.
Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-
ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.
Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the
characteristics of the hob and compromise its perform-
ance.
Installation
The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia-
gram).
It is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all
times.
Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all
along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter
adheres fully to the worktop.
•
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

You may connect your hob to the electrical system in two
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 regu-
late 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 corresponding,
recommended uses.
The “ ON”indicator light (B)
This light comes on when one of the heating elements has
been turned on.
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 compromising
the advantages of the halogen lamps.The main character-
istic of halogen lamps is that they produce an instantane-
ous emission of a large quantity of light and heat, which
means:
Residual heat indicator light (D)
This light indicates that the temperature of one or more
cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the elements
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 opera-
tion is similar to that of other heating elements. Please
refer to the table 1.

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.
•
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.
• 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.
Recommendations
•
Never use abrasive or corrosive substances,

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.
