GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides important
instructions regarding safety of installation, use and maintenance.
Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation. All the operations re-
lating to installation (electrical connections) must be carried out by
specialised personnel in conformity with the regulations in force.
SAFETY WARNINGS
It is recommended to use flat-bottom pans with a diameter 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 persons requiring
supervision. Do not let children play with the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply:
- Check that the voltage and power values listed on the data plate
(positioned on the lower part of the appliance) are compatible with the
electricity supply and socket. If you have any doubts, please consult a
qualified electrician for assistance.
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 relevant heating
element with the control indicated below.
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 maintenance 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 SUIT-
ABLY 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 determine improper functioning
of the TOUCHCONTROL system.
POSITIONING
(Fig.1)
The domestic appliance is designed to be built into a worktop as illus-
trated in the specific figure. Apply sealant 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 separator panel
respecting the distances indicated (Fig.1C). If the appliance is in-
stalled 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 cables;
-
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 identifica-
tion 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 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.4)
Clean the heated area as thoroughly as possible using SIDOL,
STAHLFIX or similar products and a cloth/paper, then rinse with water
and dry with a clean cloth.
Using the special scraper (optional) immediately remove any frag-
ments 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.4). 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.
USE
Use the touch control system in the corresponding position relative to
the individual cooking needs. Keep in mind that the higher the number,
the more heat that it is produced.
FUNCTIONING (Fig.5)
Press the ON/OFF 11 button to switch on the cooktop. For 10 seconds
the display will show a dash. If no cooking zone is switched on within
10 seconds, the hob will automatically switch off.
To switch on the element you intend to use, press the corresp
or - button within 10 seconds. When the + button is pressed the display
will show power level 9, and when the - button is pressed it will show
power level 4. After this operation, adjust the temperature with the +/
- buttons.
To switch off an element, press the - button until "0" appears. The
corresponding LED will switch off after 10 seconds.
You can also switch off an element by pressing simultaneously the +
and - buttons.
To switch off the hob, press the ON/OFF button 11. If all of the elements
are set to "0", the hob will witch off after 10 seconds.
If an object is placed on the hob control panel or any liquid is spilt
(water, milk, etc.) the hob will automatically switch off and the 10
symbol will light up.
If the hob features double zone cooking elements, switch on the second
zone by pressing the corresponding 9-7 symbol for 3 seconds. After
switching on the second element, adjust the temperature with the +/-
buttons.
Timer (Fig.5)
In addition, the "count-down" function can be used to select cooking
time; to do this, press the Timer 8 button and then use the +/- buttons
to select the desired time. At the end of the countdown, an acoustic
signal will indicate the end of cooking time. Another function available
is that of the Timer. To select this function, first select and press the
button of the relative cooking zone, then press the timer 8 button once
(the display will show the numbers 00). Immediately afterwards, press
the Timer button again (the display will show the letter t for the selected
cooking zone) and then use the +/- button to select the cooking time
(from 1 to 99). Once the cooking time is up, the Timer will automati-
cally switch off the selected cooking zone and an acoustic signal will
sound for a few seconds.
