GENERAL INFORMATION
Carefully read this use and maintenance manual, where
important information about installation, use and mainte-
nance safety is provided. Keep this manual for future refer-
ence. Any installation operation (electric connections) shall
be performed by specialized personnel, in compliance with
all standards and regulations in force.
SAFETY WARNING
The use of flat-bottomed pots, with a diameter equal to
or slightly bigger than the heated area, is recommended.
(Fig.5). Do not use pots that have a rough base, in order to
prevent the hob thermal surface from being scratched. This
appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm peo-
ple without supervision.
IMPORTANT
- Avoid the overflow of liquids by reducing the heat sup-
ply when boiling or warming liquids.
- Do not leave any heating element switched on, if there
are no pots, or if the pots are empty.
- Once cooking is completed, turn the concerned heating
element off, by using the control shown below.
- This appliance is not intended for use by people (chil-
dren included) with limited physical, sensorial or mental
abilities, or lacking of experience and knowledge, unless
they are supervised or well instructed about the use of
the appliance, by a person who is responsible for their
safety.
- Children should be supervised to assure that they do
not play with the appliance.
- If the hob surface is cracked, turn the appliance off and
disconnect it from the electric network , so as to avoid
the possibility of electric shock.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions are intended for a specialized
installer and are meant as guidelines for the hob installa-
tion, adjustment and maintenance, in compliance with any
regulations and standards in force. If a built-in oven or any
other appliance generating heat is to be mounted directly
under the vitro-ceramic hob,
IT IS NECESSARY THAT SUCH
AN APPLIANCE (the oven) AND THE VITRO-CERAMIC HOB
ARE PROPERLY INSULATED
. Failure to comply with this pre-
caution might result in the incorrect operation of the TOUCH
CONTROL system.
• Positioning:
This household appliance has been designed for built –in
installation onto a worktop, as shown in the figure (Fig.2).
Use sealing material along the whole perimeter - Fig.4 (Cut
dimensions- Fig.2). This operation is necessary in order to
prevent any liquid from entering inside the hob, being that
the flatness of the top, the glass and their coupling cannot
be assured. Fix the appliance on the worktop by using the 4
supports, taking the work top thickness into account (Fig.2).
If, after installation, the lower part of the appliance is acces-
sible from the lower part of the cabinet, it will be necessary
ENGLISH

to mount a spacing panel at the distances given (Fig.3). If
the appliance is installed under an oven, this step will not be
necessary. The appliance is not intended to be operated by
an external timer or a separate remote control system.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (Fig.7)
*The installation of this appliance and the connection to the
electrical network should be entrusted only to an electrician
perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which
respects them scrupulously.
*Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured
after the building-in.
*The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place
on the hob casing near the connection box.
*The connection to the main must be made using an ear-
thed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a
contact opening of at least 3 mm.
*The electrical circuit must be separated from the network
by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or
contactors.
*If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, discon-
necting means must be incorporated in the fixed installa-
tion, in accordance with the installation regulations.
*The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch
any of the hot parts of the hob
or even.
Caution!
This appliance has only to be connected to a network 230
V~ 50/60 Hz.
Connect always the earth wire.
Respect the connection diagram.
The connection box is located underneath at the back of the
hob casing.
To open the cover use a medium screwdriver. Place it in the
slits and open the cover.
Caution!
Be careful that the cables are correctly engaged and ti-
ghtened.
We cannot be held responsible for any incident re-
sulting from incorrect connection or which could ari-
se from the use of an appliance which has not been
earthed or has been equipped with a faulty earth
connection.
USE AND MAINTENANCE (Fig.6):
Remove any food residue and grease drops from the cooking
surface, by using the special scraper provided on request.
Clean the heated area in the best way possible, using suita-
ble products and a paper towel, then rinse with water and
wipe away with a clean cloth.
Through the use of the special scraper (optional), prompt-
ly remove any pieces of aluminum foil and plastic material,
which might have accidentally melted, or sugar or food
remains, and/or remains of sugary foods, from the heated
surface. In this way, any possible damage to the surface is
prevented.
The use of abrasive sponges or irritating chemical cleaners,
such as sprays for ovens or cleaning agents is not allowed
under any circumstance.
