Special requirements
before first use
Before connecting the hob to the electric
mains, check that the voltage and fre-
quency of the mains matches what is
shown on the hob’s rating plate, which is
located lower down, and on the guarantee
or, where appropriate, the technical datas-
heet supplied, which should be kept toge-
ther with this manual.
The apparatus is not designed to
be used by people (including children)
with reduced physical, mental or sen-
sory abilities. It should also not be used
by people that do not have experience
handling the apparatus or who do not
have knowledge of the apparatus,
unless they are supervised by a person
who is in charge of their safety.
Children should not be allowed
to play with the apparatus.
This appliance is not designed to
work through an external timer (not
incorporated into the appliance itself)
or a separate remote control system.
Ceramic hobs with controls
instructions
Each of the glass ceramic hob’s heating
elements is connected to a power regula-
tor that controls the operating and stoppa-
ge time of each of them (more or less
heat). (See fig. 4)
Each power regulator control knob has
numbering from “0” to “12”.
At postion “0” the hob does not operate, at
position “1” there is not much operating
time but a great deal of stoppage time.
With the remaining control knob positions,
the operating time increases while the
stoppage time decreases, until at position
“12” where operation is continuous, only
cutting off when the warm hotplate’s ther-
mostat cuts in to turn off the power when
the maximum permitted temperature is
reached.
Before turning on one of the hob’s heating
elements, you should identify the corres-
ponding control. To this end, it is shown
beside each control which heating element
it corresponds to.
DOUBLE CIRCUIT INSTRUCTIONS
(view fig. 5)
The double circuit heating elements are
hotplates made up of two mutually inde-
pendent heating elements, and they are
controlled by a power regulator that allows
the smaller, inside ring to be turned on, or
both inside and outside at the same time.
To only have the inside ring turned on, turn
the control knob clockwise and set it to the
position you require. To turn on the whole
hotplate, set the control to position “12”
