The hob is overheating. Let it cool completely, then turn it back on. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

Can I use aluminum pans on this hob?

No, avoid aluminum or synthetic containers as they could melt on the still hot burners. Use induction-compatible pans (ferromagnetic base) for induction burners, but here it is a classic ceramic hob: all types of flat-bottomed pans are accepted except thin aluminum.

• This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any other domestic, commercial or industrial use.
• Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
• Do not change or alter the appliance.
• The cooking plate cannot be used as freestanding or as working surface.
• The appliance must be grounded and connected conforming to local standards.
• Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
• The appliance cannot be used above a dishwasher or a tumble-dryer: as steam may cause damage.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of external timer or separate remote control system.

Using the appliance

• Switch the heating zones off after using.
• Keep an eye on the hob whilst cooking using grease or oils that may quickly ignite.
• Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
• Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot saucepan.

• Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to the engaged appliance.

• Do not place any metallic object on the hob except for pans or cooking utensils. In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.

• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This could become very hot and catch fire.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
  Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

Precautions not to damage the appliance

• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones. These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do not burn yourself).
• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surface.
• Never place any hot container over the control panel.

• If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the content of the drawer and the underside of the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is essential to guarantee correct ventilation.

• Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the vitroceramic hob. All cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.

Precautions in case of appliance failure

Fitting - installing:

The cut out sizes are:

Reference Cut-size
ATH63S 490 x 560	mm

• Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100^ .
• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20mm to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device.
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance minimum of 760~mm .
• The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer.

• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.

• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical system should be entrusted only to a qualified electrician.

• Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after installation
• The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the connection box.
• The connection to the mains must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3mm .
• The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
• If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation regulations.
• The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob or even.

Caution!

This appliance has only to be connected to a network 220 - 230 V~ 50/60 Hz

Always connect the earth wire.

Respect the connection diagram.

The connection box is located underneath at the back of the hob casing. To open the cover, use a medium screwdriver. Place it in the slits and open the cover.

(^*) calculated with the simultaneous factor following standard EN 60 335-2-6

Connection of the hob

Setting up the configurations

For the various kinds of connection, use the brass bridges which are in the box next the terminal

Monophase 230V~1P+N

Put the link bar between terminal 1 and 2

Attach the earth to the terminal "earth", the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L to one of the terminals 1 or 2.

Biphas 400V\~2P+N

Attach the earth to the terminal "earth", the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L1 to the terminals 1 and the Phase L2 to the terminal 2.

Caution! Frequent loosening and screwing of the screws on the connection box risks damaging the efficiency of the tightness once screwed. It is therefore advisable to keep screwing and unscrewing to a minimum.

Ensure that the cables are correctly inserted and tightly screwed down.
