placing any cookware or other items on the cooking zone  
while still hot.  
Check that the current load of the mains supply and of  
the power sockets is suitable for the maximum power of  
the appliance, indicated on the appliance data plate. If in  
doubt, contact a qualified professional.  
Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium foil or  
plastic items have been placed on the hob surface.  
Do not go near the heating zones when these are still  
hot.  
This appliance must only be used for the purpose for  
which it was expressly designed. Any other use (such as  
heating a room for example) is considered to be improper  
and consequently dangerous.  
If you use small electric appliances near the hob, make  
sure their power supply cable does not come into contact  
with the hot parts of the hob.

Installation and fastening  
The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter  
Fastening  
to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and  
technical 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  
ceramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.  
Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the  
characteristics of the hob and compromise its performan-  
ce.  
Installation  
This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting  
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 away  
The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see  
diagram).  
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.  
from the back wall or any other vertical surface in order  
to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent the  
surfaces around the appliance from overheating.  
If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the  
latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.  
Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher;

in the table.  
once the connections have been made, tighten all the  
terminal screws fully.  
Fasten the supply cable in place with the clamp and  
close the cover of the terminal board.  
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be  
guaranteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently

Anomalies such as:  
Prolonged use of the hob could cause the electronic

A thermal protection device momentarily sets a reduced  
power (setting 3) on the front cooking zones until the  
temperature has dropped back down to a suitable level.  
boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control  
zone,  
prolonged pressure on a key,...  
could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.  
To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the  
malfunction.  
To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking  
zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired heating power.  
Safety cut out  
Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which  
intervenes after a certain amount of time (see table)  
depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out  
has intervened, the power display indicates “0”.  
for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and  
the front left zone is set to 2.The back right zone will turn  
off after 4 hours of operation and the front left zone will  
turn off after 6 hours of operation.  
To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the

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 conditions  
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  
preparing 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  
thoroughly.  
food residue and dirt can be removed using a  
Always use pans whose diameter covers the  
special 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.  
cooking 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.  
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.  
Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners.  
Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water  
and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products  
could become encrusted onto the hob during  
subsequent 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,  
The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and  
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.  
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.  
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 liquid  
boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately  
(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  
maintenance operations, check that all the cooking  
zones are turned off and have cooled down completely.  
Stainless steel frame (only on some models)  
Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring  
contact with limescale in water or as an effect of highly  
aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus). We  
recommend you rinse and dry it thoroughly after  
maintenance. It is preferable to remove any water spills  
immediately.  
Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not  
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  
cleaners to clean your appliance.
