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.2).
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.

and pans or without receptacles.
-
When you have finished cooking, switch off the rel-
evant heating element with the control indicated
below.
ATTENTION:
- Steam cleaners must not be used.
- If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance
to prevent electric shock.
- This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision
- Young children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the appliance

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.
If a built-in oven or any other appliance that generates
heat must be fitted directly under the glass-ceramic
cooktop, THIS APPLIANCE (oven) AND THE GLASS-
CERAMIC COOKTOP MUST BE SUITABLY INSULATED
in such a way that the heat generated by the oven,
measured on the bottom right of the cooktop, does not
exceed 60°C. Failure to respect this precaution may de-
termine improper functioning of the TOUCHCONTROL
system.
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
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 par t 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 identifi-
cation plate and the operating temperature. At no point
must the cable reach a temperature 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 regulations in force (the yellow/green ground con-
ductor 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.3)
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.3). In this way, any damage to the cooktop surface
is prevented. Under no circumstances use abrasive
sponges or irritating chemical detergents such as oven
sprays or stain removers.
