The hot plates are equipped with “hi-light” heating elements with different powers and diameters. Cooking zones are aesily identifiables thanks to the circles (see illustration in description) on the top; relative powers are listed in the scheme n. 1. On the frontal panel, close to each knob, has been silk-screened a scheme where is indicated to which cooking zone the knob refers (fig. 1). In some particular models the scheme annexes a light indicator that turns on when the cooking zone temperature is above 60 °C (fig. 1). The indicator will turn off only when the temperature of the cooking zone will be below the value: this is the reason why we call it residual heat indicator. Some other models they have only one indicator (see description paragraph). Connection of electric heating elements Heating elements are controlled by energy regulators with 12 positions (see fig. 1) that permit to obtain a big range of different temperatures for a specified time adjustable by the knob of timer (fig. 2). In scheme 1, by way of information, we give instructions to obtain different cooking levels. The connection of heating elements comes after the activation of the timer (fig. 2) turning clockwise the relative knob. The heating element can be connected turning clockwise or anticlockwise the relative knob on desired position (fig. 1). Timer Timer allows to heating elements to turn off automatically by acoustic warning. It can be used also as timer (without turning off) and can be set for a period of max. 60 minutes. How to use cooking zones Heating takes place only in the inside part of the circles drawn on the special glass.The circles have to be wholly covered by the pots. Attention: use the hob only under sorveillance! FIG. 1 FIG. 217 USE SCHEME 1 1 145 “hi-light” 1200 1 2 180 “hi-light” 1800 1 - 4

If you want to preserve the surface clean and bright, we recommend you to use a silicone conditioner. The use of this conditioners, prior to jam-making, helps to protect the surface of the hob. It is very important to clean the surface soon after every use, when the glass is still tepid. Do not use metallic sponges, powder abrasives or corrosive sprays. Depending on the dirty level we recommend: - slights stains: it is enought the use of a moist clean rag. - Burnt or soiling may be removed with a special razor scraper (fig. 4); be aware that the razor can cause wounds. - Marks of liquid, overflowed from the pot, can be removed using vinegar or lemon. - Pay attention to not let fall sugar or element with sugar. In this case turn the switch off and clean the surface with hot water and the razor blade scraper. - After a period of time may appear metal reflex and scratches (fig. 5) due to the wrong cleaning and the wrong use of the pots. The scratches are difficultly removable, but they do not compromise the good working of the hob. - Don’t use steam jets for the equipment cleaning. FIG. 4 FIG. 520 INSTALLATION

COMPLY WITH THE DIMENSIONS

Installation, transformations and maintenances below listed, may only be carried out by a competent technician. The appliance must be correctly installed in conformity with current law and the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect installation may cause damage to persons, animals or property for which the Manufacturer shall not be considered responsible. During the life of the system, the automatic safety or regulating devices on the appliance may only be modified by the manufacturer or by his duly authorized dealer.

Check that the appliance is in a good condition after having removed the outer packaging and internal wrappings from around the various loose parts. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance and contact qualified personnel. Never leave the packaging materials (cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within children’s reach since they could become potential sources of danger. The measurements of the opening made in the top of the modular cabinet and into which the hot plate will be installed are indicated in either fig. 6. Always comply with the measurements given for the hole into which the appliance will be recessed (see fig. 6 and 7).21 INSTALLATION

A special sealing strip underneath the hob for damage. Make sure it is correctly positioned with no gaps; it avoids any water infiltration. To fix in the right way the strip, please, respect the following instructions: - fix the hooks in the relative accomodations of the body (see fig. 8). - Overturn the hob, take the seal strips off from their support, having care that the transparent protection remains attached to the seal. Correctly place the seal "E" (fig. 8) under the hob edge, so that the external side of the seal fits together with the external perimentrical edge of the hob. The ends of the strip must fit together without overlapping. - Stick the seal to the hotplate uniformly, pressing it with fingers. - Take the protective paper strip of the seal off, place the hotplate in the opening made in the table top, and lock it with the special screws "F" (fig. 9). - Since the casing of the hob may overheat due to a prolonged use, it is necessary to insert a separation plane wood, blocked by screws, which must be installed under the cooktop at a minimum distance of 70 mm from the top, as shown in fig.6. WARNINGS: be aware that the glue that join the laminated plastic to the furniture, has to resist to temperature not below 150 °C, to avoid the unstuck of the panelling. The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90 °C. FIG. 8 FIG. 922 INSTALLATION FIG. 10 FIG. 11
