GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it pro-
vides important instructions regarding safety of installa-
tion, use and maintenance.
Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation. All the
operations relating to installation/replacement (electrical
connections) must be carried out by specialised person-
nel in conformity with the regulations in force.
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.3).
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.
-
Do not leave the heating elements on with empty pots
and pans or without receptacles.
-
When you have finished cooking, switch off the rel-
evant heating element with the control indicated be-
low.
ATTENTION: Steam cleaners must not be used.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shock.
This appliance conforms to the European Directive EC/
2002/96, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). By making sure that this appliance is disposed
of in a suitable manner, the user is helping to prevent
potential damage to the environment or to public health.
The
symbol on the product or on the accompanying
paperwork indicates that the appliance should not be
treated as domestic waste, but should be delivered to a
suitable electric and electronic appliance recycling
collection point.
Follow local guidelines when disposing of waste.
For more information on the treatment, re-use and
recycling of this product, please contact your local
authority, domestic waste collection service or the shop
where the appliance was purchased.
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-CE-
RAMIC COOKTOP MUST BE SUITABLY INSULATED in
such a way that the heat generated by the oven, meas-
ured on the bottom right of the cooktop, does not ex-
ceed 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 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
separator panel respecting the distances indicated
(Fig.1C). If the appliance is installed with an oven un-
derneath 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 ca-
bles;
-
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 identification plate and the operating
temperature. At no point must the cable reach a tem-
perature 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 regula-
tions 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.
Attention:
On the basis of the model in possession the
electronic board may be protected by eventual errors
caused in the electrical network connection by a fuse on
the board.
If replacement is necessary, use a
fuse
that has exactly
the same technical specifications.
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/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
