ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by switching it off a few minutes before you finish cooking.

The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted.

Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption.

Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.

INSTALLATION

• The cooktop must be set into a worktop at least 20 mm deep.
- There must be nothing between the cooktop and the oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).
- For built-in dimensions and installation, see the picture in this paragraph.
• A minimum distance must be maintained between the hob and the hood above it. Please refer to the user manual of the hood for more information.
• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.
- Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or washing machine, so that the electronic circuits do not come into contact with steam or moisture, which could damage them.
- If an oven is installed beneath the cooktop, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system. If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop will switch off automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the internal temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.
- ATTENTION: to install the hob on other surfaces than wood (marble, plastic, ceramic, stone, etc.) remember to ask After Sales Service for the fixing plates (fig. 2) Code 4819 404 78697.

PLACING THE HOB

Important: remove any protective film before installing the hob.

Make sure that the opening in the worktop for the hob is cut according to the dimensions given in the drawing, paying attention to the tolerance range. The hob should not be forced into the worktop. Forcing the glass-ceramic top may cause it to crack (even at a later date)!

If the worktop is made of wood, use the spring clips and screws provided. Secure the spring clips (A) (fig. 1) with the screws provided (B) (fig. 1) as shown, paying attention to the specified distances. Fit the hob into the worktop.

If the worktop is made of marble, plastic, ceramic, stone, etc., the hob must be secured with special brackets (C) (fig. 2). Fit the hob into the worktop (fig. 1). Place the 4 brackets (C) in position in accordance with the thickness of the worktop as shown in fig. 2. Fasten the 4 screws (D) in the positions (E) (fig. 2).

DIMENSIONS AND DISTANCES TO BE MAINTAINED

REMOVING THE HOB:

To remove the hob, first, disconnect it from the electric supply. It is strongly recommended to free the underneath part from the oven, drawer, separator, or other. It allows the technician to access the lower part of the hob to unfasten the four clips with a screwdriver, lift the hob and remove it, avoiding any worktop damage.
