For utilising both cooking areas.
Extendable cooking zones
Operation indicator light (C)
This is illuminated when a heating zone has been
activated.
The extendable radiant elements (B) are distinguished
by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You
can switch the smaller internal cooking zone on its own,
or both the external and internal zones.
Residual heat indicator light (E)
The control knob (D) allows you to choose between two
power levels, which may both be adjusted between a
minimum value of 1 and a maximum of 12:
• The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob
clockwise from 1 to 12.
This indicates that one or more cooking zones are at a
temperature greater than 60°C, even after the cooking
zones have been switched off. Some models have 4
residual heat indicator lights, one for each cooking zone.
• Turn the knob completely round ( ), until you hear a
slight click, to enable the maximum power level. This
in turn can be adjusted to a value between 12 and 1
by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the
minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to
position 0.
8or double cooking zones, the first part of the knob
movement activates the smaller (internal) cooking zone.
To activate both (internal and external), it is necessary to
turn the knob completely ( ) and then select the
desired power level between 12 and 1.

Precautions and tips
!This appliance has been designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards. The following
warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read
carefully.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it
GB
may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a
tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the
electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances
do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at
least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An
indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present
(see Start-up and use).
Practical advice on using the appliance
In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the
cooking zone.
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for
example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high
sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film
and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces which
are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the
centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the
mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to
cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
• The appliance should not be operated by people (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities,
by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar
with the product. These individuals should, at the very least,
be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their
safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the
operation of the appliance.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and
dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the
cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas
burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort
the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Do not look at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones for long
if they are present.
This appliance conforms to the following European
Economic Community directives:
- 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and subsequent
amendments;
Disposal
-89/336/EEC dated 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and
subsequentamendments;
- 93/68/EEC dated 22/07/93 and subsequent amendments.
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
General safety
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using the
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should
be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-
using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while
preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public
health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated
waste collection.
! Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never
obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided with
suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic components
used in the appliance.
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home
and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered
areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance
exposed to rain and storms.
-or further information relating to the correct disposal of
exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the
public service provided or their local dealer.
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet or damp
hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation
of food, in accordance with the instructions provided in this
booklet. Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board.

Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer
frame)
GB
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
cleaning products containing phosphorus.
Cleaning the appliance
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface
well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the
surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust
products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface
beyond repair.
! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is
similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
Disassembling the hob
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen towel.
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in
each corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If
the appliance breaks down, contact a Service
Centre.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable
scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible,
without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid
residues forming crusty deposits. You can
achieve excellent results by using a rust-proof
steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If any plastic or sugary substances are
accidentally melted on the hob, remove them
immediately with the scraper, while the surface is
still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This
maintenance task should be carried out while the
appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.
