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/replacement (electrical connections) must be car-
ried 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.
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.
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 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 in-
stalled, 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
M
AINTENANCE
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)
If your appliance is predisposed then it will be possible to optimize
energy consumption via the intelligent handling of the turning on and
off of the cooking zones (hotplates). It is possible to set the maximum
power absorption to 4 diverse levels: 2.4 KW - 3.4 KW - 4.4 KW -
Pmax.
The cook top is factory set with no power limitation
(Pmax).
· Multi Level Power Control (MLP)
In the installation phase, based on the available power in use, it is
possible to set the desired maximum power level absorbed in the
following way:
- Unblock the cooking surface by keeping pressed down the “
key
button
” for 3 seconds until the “
indicator light key
” is switched off.
- Press the button “
E-plus
” for 3 seconds: the watch’s display will
show the power level formulated among those available:
2.4 KW/3.4
KW/4.4 KW and FULL.
- Press the buttons (+) or (-) to change level.
- Confirm the choice by pressing the “
E-plus
” key within 10 seconds
else it will return to the initial state.
· “E-PLUS” function
During cooking it is possible to increase the maximum absorbed power
level by passing from the formulated level to the immediately superior
one by pressing the button “
E-PLUS
” until the relative indicator light
is switched on.
When the surface is switched off it returns to the pre-
formulated
