• The heat elements should not be operated without a receptacle. • The base of the receptacle must be flat and dry. • Make sure that the diameters of the receptacles are larger than or the same as the element to be used and place them in the centre of the heat source. • Try not to move the receptacles as this can scratch the glass. • Only use the appliance for cooking food. Do not use the hob as a worktop. • Do not apply cold water directly onto the hob when it is hot. Caution: Intermittent operation of the cooking zones is not a fault. They operate with longer or shorter on and off periods depending on the desired power.

Maintenance and cleaning

• Do not use a steam cleaner.

• Clean the surface of your hob regularly once it has cooled down. Do not use abrasive products or sponges. Clean with a damp cloth and soapy water (3.1.1). • Once a week, clean thoroughly with products specifically designed for vetroceramic hobs. We recommend VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and maintaining your vitroceramic hob. • Stubborn stains can be removed with the glass scraper (3.1.2). • If you accidentally burn some sugar, sugary elements or plastic on the hob, remove it as soon as possible with a scraper while it is still hot. If this is not done, you may be left with permanent marks. • Use the blade of the scraper in perfect condition; replace it if is damaged.

• Aluminium receptacles are not advisable as

• The power circuit supplying the hob must have an all-pole circuit breaker with at least 3mm space between contacts.

• The hob must be installed by an authorised installer, who shall follow the manufacturer’s instructions and diagrams. • The installation must be of the appropriate size for the maximum power indicated on the characteristics plate and the power socket with the regulatory earth. • If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the post-sales service or similarly qualified personnel for safety purposes. • The element is equipped with an inner temperature limiter which turns the element off in the event of the hob overheating. • After each use, switch the element off using its control. • If the surface of the glass is cracked or broken, unplug the appliance immediately to avoid the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the hob until the glass has been replaced (4.1.1). • If anything spills onto the control keys, the hob will stop and emit a sound (4.1.2). • If you press a sensor down for too long or there is an object activating the sensors, the hob will stop and emit a sound (4.1.3). • Do not place receptacles with hot bases onto the sensors; you can burn yourself when pressing them (4.1.3). • Keep young children well away; the heating surfaces can be extremely hot when in use. Use the locking system to prevent children from playing with the controls. • This appliance is not designed for use by people with disabilities. • Always stay nearby when cooking dishes or food with fat or oil.

The hob has been designed with protection of the environment in mind.

Be environmentally aware. Use the adequate power for each cooking operation and select the receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are going to prepare. The heat transmission is best when the base of the receptacle and the diameter of the cooking zone are the same size. When you have finished cooking, if you like you can leave the receptacle where it is to make use of the residual heat accumulated. This will save energy. Use a lid whenever you can in order to reduce the heat lost through steam. Electrical and electronic appliance waste management. Do not dispose of appliances by mixing them with general domestic waste. Take your hob to a special collection centre. The recycling of domestic appliances avoids negative consequences to our health, the environment and enables us to save energy and resources. For further information, contact your local authority or the establishment from where you purchased your hob.
