all the instructions you require to ensure safe
installation, use and maintenance. Always keep this
owner’s manual close to hand since you may need
to refer to it in the future.
3 When you have removed the packing, check that the
appliance is not damaged. If you have any doubts, do
not use the appliance, contact your nearest Ariston
Service Centre. Never leave the packing components
(plastic bags, foamed polystyrene, nails, etc.) within
the reach of children since they are a source of potential
danger.
4 The appliance must be installed only by a qualified
person in compliance with the instructions provided.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
improper installation which may harm persons and
animals and damage property.
5 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be
guaranteed if the cooker is correctly and efficiently
earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical
safety. Always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if
you have any doubts call in a qualified technician to
check the system. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility for damage resulting from a system which
has not been earthed.
6 Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check
that the specifications indicated on the date plate
correspond to those of the electrical mains of your
home.
7 Check that the electrical capacity of the system and
sockets will support the maximum power of the

any doubts, call in a qualified technician.
8 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least
3 mm or more, is required for the installation.
9 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible,
have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a
qualified technician. The latter, in particular, will also
have to ensure that the cross section of the socket
cables are suitable for the power absorbed by the
appliance. The use of adapters, multiple sockets and/
or extensions, is not recommended. If their use cannot
be avoided, remember to use only single or multiple
adapters and extensions which comply with current
safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the
maximum current capacity indicated on the single
adapter or extension and the maximum power indicated
on the multiple adapter.

appliance. Always call an after-sales service centre
authorised by the manufacturer in the event of cable
damage or replacement.
13 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which
it was expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating
rooms) is considered to be improper and consequently

14 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when
using electrical appliances. The following are of
particular importance:
•
do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet

caution must be exercised.
• never pull the power supply cable or the appliance
to unplug the appliance plug from the mains.
• never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric
agents (rain, sun etc.)
• do not allow children or persons who are not familiar
with the appliance to use it, without supervision.
15 Always unplug the hob from the mains or switch off the
main switch before cleaning or carr ying out
maintenance operations.
16 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type,
remember to make it unserviceable by unplugging the
appliance from the mains and cutting the supply cable.
Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the
appliance safe, above all for children who could mistake
it for a toy.
17 Do not forget that the cooking zone stays hot for at
least half an hour after it has been turned off. Take
care not to inadvertently place pans or items on the
hot zone.
18 Do not turn the cooking zones on if there is any
aluminium foil or plastic material on the hob.
19 Do not get too close to the hot hob.
20 When using small electric appliances near the hob,
keep the power supply cable away from the hot parts.
21 Make sure you turn the handles of pots and pans
inwards to avoid knocking them over accidentally.
22 Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it, as
the zone would heat up almost immediately, causing
damage to the heating elements.
23 Remember to keep children away from the
appliance when you use the grill or oven, since
these parts become very hot. Keep children well
away.
24 Make sure the knobs are in the ”•”/”
