GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it pro-
vides important instructions regarding safety of installa-
tion, use and maintenance.
Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation. All the
operations relating to installation (electrical connections)
must be carried out by specialised personnel in conform-
ity with the regulations in force.
SAFETY WARNINGS
It is recommended to use flat-bottom pans with a diam-
eter equal to or slightly larger than that of the heated
area. Do not use pans with a rough base to prevent
scratching the heat surface of the cooktop (Fig.3).
This appliance is not suitable for use by children or per-
sons requiring supervision. Do not let children play with
the appliance.
IMPORTANT
-
Avoid spilling liquid, therefore to boil or heat liquids,
reduce the heat.
-
Do not leave the heating elements on with empty pots
and pans or without receptacles.
-
When you have finished cooking, switch off the rel-
evant heating element with the control indicated be-
low.
ATTENTION: Steam cleaners must not be used.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shock.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions address specialised installers and
serve as a guide for installation, adjustment and mainte-
nance in conformity with the laws and regulations in force.
POSITIONING
(Fig.1)
The domestic appliance is designed to be built into a
worktop as illustrated in the specific figure. Apply seal-
ant around the entire perimeter (cut-out dimensions
Fig.1B).
Fix the domestic appliance on the worktop by means of
the 4 brackets provided, taking the thickness of the
worktop into account (Fig.1A). If the lower part of the
appliance, after installation, is accessible via the lower
part of the cabinet then it is necessary to mount a sepa-
rator panel respecting the distances indicated (Fig.1C).
If the appliance is installed with an oven underneath then
the separator is not necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(Fig.2)
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
-
the ground cable is 2 cm longer than the other ca-
bles;
-
the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the
identification plate fixed on the lower part of the
worktop;
-
the system is fitted with efficient earthing compliant
to the laws and regulations in force.
Earthing is obligatory by law.
If the domestic appliance is not fitted with a cable and/or
relevant plug, use material suited to the absorption value
indicated on the identification plate and the operating
temperature. At no point must the cable reach a tem-
perature 50°C higher than room temperature.
If wishing to make a direct connection to the mains, an
omnipolar switch must be interposed with a minimum
opening of 3 mm between the contacts and suited to the
load indicated on the plate and conform to the regula-
tions in force (the yellow/green ground conductor must
not be interrupted by the switch). When the appliance
has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be easily
reachable.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Remove any residues of food and drops of grease from
the cooking surface using the special scraper supplied
on request (Fig.5)
Clean the heated area as thoroughly as possible using
SIDOL, STAHLFIX or similar products and a cloth/pa-
per, then rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
Using the special scraper (optional) immediately remove
any fragments of aluminium and plastic material that
have unintentionally melted on the heated cooking area
or residues of sugar or food with a high sugar content
(Fig.5). In this way, any damage to the cooktop surface
is prevented.
Under no circumstances use abrasive sponges or irritat-
ing chemical detergents such as oven sprays or stain
removers.
USE
Use the control knobs to set the desired power. Turn them
clockwise to maximum.
In the case of plates with a double area, the external
heating element can be switched on starting from zero and
turning in an anticlockwise direction.
PILOT LIGHTS (fig. 4)
The pilot lights are ON when:
—
at least one element is inserted; (fig. 4a)
—
the top tenperature at the Indicated spot is higher
than 50°C (fig. 4b - 4c)
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBIL-
ITY FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACH-
ING THE ABOVE WARNINGS.
