Description of the appliance

Before the first use

Before using the hob for the first time, switch the plates

on for about 10 minutes at the maximum position.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and

produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the

first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a

You can switch off the plate a short while before you

finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on

the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in

well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being

split onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them

or with an empty pan on them.

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob

anticlockwise to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 1 - 6

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6)

for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to

the required setting.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the

overheated splashes could easily ignite.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given

in the following table.

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several

 They should be fairly heavy duty

 They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

 They should have a flat base to ensure good contact

This is particularly important when using pans for high

temperature frying or pressure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control

knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.21

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried

out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the

Never use steam or a steam cleaning machine

to clean the appliance.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage

can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well

wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid

has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following

products are recommended:

- For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless

- For other hobs use warm water and soft detergent.

The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling

them upward for easier cleaning.

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using

warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To

keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can

be purchased from most hardware stores.

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a

kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the

plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant

odour when next used.

Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may

become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary

stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration.

This also applies to the area around the hotplates on

stainless steel hobs.

Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead

to rust and corrosion forming on the surface.22

Instruction for the Installer

The following instructions about installation

and maintenance must be carried out by

qualified personnel in compliance with the

regulation in force.

The appliance must be electrically

disconnected before all interventions. If any

electric supply to the appliance is required to

carry out the work, ensure all the necessary

precautions are followed.

The side walls of the unit in which the hob is

going to be installed, must not exceed the

height of the working top.

Avoid installing the appliance in the proximity

of inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, tea

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230

V monophase electricity supply.

The connection must be carried out in compliance

with the laws and regulations in force.

Before the appliance is connected:

1. check that the main fuse and the domestic installation

can support the load (see the rating label);

2. check that the power supply is properly earthed in

compliance with the current rules;

3. check the socket or the double pole switch used for

the electrical connection can be easily reached with

the appliance built in the forniture unit.

The appliance is supplied with a connection cable. This

has to be provided with a proper plug, able to support the

load marked on the identification plate. To connect the

plug to the cable, follow the recommendation given in

Fig.3. The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.

If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system,

it is necessary that you install a double pole switch

between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a

minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and

of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with

The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in

each part, it cannot reach a temperature 90 °C higher than

the room temperature.

The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal

block contact marked with "L") must always be connected

to the network phase.

Replacement of the connection cable

The connection of the connection cable to the appliance's

terminal block is of type "Y". This means that its

replacement requires the specific equipment of a

In this case, only cable type H05V2V2-F T90 must be

used. The cable section must be suitable to the voltage

and the working temperature.

The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2 cm

longer than the phase wires (Fig. 1).

To open the terminal block and reach the terminals,

1. insert the point of a screwdriver into the visible

Installation and assembly These hobs can be installed in a kitchen unit with anopening for insertion whose dimensions are shown in Fig. 5. The edge of the cut out must have a minimum distancefrom the rear wall of 55 mm.If there are side walls, or sides of the furniture unit nearthe hob, the cut out edges must have a minimumdistance of 100 mm.Hanging forniture units or hoods must be placed at 650mm minimum from the hob.Carry out the building in of the hob as follows:1. Put the relevant sealings, supplied with the hob,on the edges of the cut out, taking care that thesealings meet without overlapping;2. place the hob in the cut out, taking care of its centring;3. fix the hob with the relevant screws (Fig. 6). Thetraction of the screws is able to trace the sealing, anyexcess of which can then be easily removed.If several 30cm hob are to be installed side by side into thesame cut out, an assembly kit including a support sidebracket and supplementary sealings is available at our AfterSales Centres. The relevant installation instructions aresupplied within the kit package.24
