Fitting the appliance

Use the appropriate cabinet to ensure that the appliance functions properly.

• The supporting surface must be heat-resistant up to a temperature of around 100^ .
• If the appliance is to be installed above an oven, the oven must have a forced ventilation cooling system.
• Avoid installing the hob above a dishwasher: if this cannot be avoided, place a waterproof separation device between the two appliances.
  Depending on the hob you want to install, the cabinet must have the following dimensions (see figure):

Ventilation

To allow adequate ventilation and to avoid overheating of the surrounding surfaces the hob should be positioned:

• At a minimum of 40 ~mm from the back panel and 600 mm from any other vertical surfaces.
• Maintaining a minimum distance of 10mm between the installation cavity and the cabinet underneath.

Fixing

The appliance must be installed on a perfectly level supporting surface.

Any deformities caused by improper fixing could change the features and the operation of the hob.

The thickness of the supporting surface should be taken into account when choosing screws for the fixing hooks:

• 30 mm thick: 17.55 mm screws
• 40 mm thick: 7.55 mm screws

Fix the hob as follows:

1. Use short flat-bottomed screws to fix the 4 alignment springs in the holes provided in the centre of each side of the hob.
2. Insert the hob in the cavity, make sure it is in a central position and push down on the whole perimeter until the hob is stuck to the supporting surface.
3. For hobs with raised sides: After inserting the hob into its cavity, insert the 4 fixing hooks (each has its own pin) into the lower edges of the hob, using the long pointed screws to fix it in place, until the glass is stuck to the supporting surface.

! The screws for the alignment springs must remain accessible.
! In order to adhere to safety standards, the appliance must not come into contact with electrical parts once it has been installed.
! All parts that ensure the safe operation of the appliance must not be removable without the aid of a tool.

Electrical connection

! The electrical connection of the hob and any built-in oven must be carried out separately, both for safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

• To set the power to maximum, hold down the button briefly.

Switching on the extendable cooking zones

• Double plate:

• Press the button to switch on the smaller internal cooking zone.

• If the second zone is circular: press the button to switch on (or off) the second cooking zone. If the second zone is oval: press the button.

• Triple plate:

• Activate the double plate as directed.

• If the cooking zone is circular: Press the button to switch on (or off) the whole cooking zone (triple plate). If the cooking zone is oval: press the button.

It is possible to switch the whole extendable cooking zone (triple plate) on or off by pressing the button if it is circular, if it is oval.

Switching off the cooking zones

• Press the button: the power of the cooking zone will progressively decrease until it is switched off.
• Alternatively, the (- and (+) buttons may be pressed simultaneously. This immediately returns the power setting to 0 and the cooking zone switches off.

Heating elements

It is possible to install two types of heating elements according to the appliance model:

halogen and radiant elements.

Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the halogen lamps they contain.

They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to see the power used.

Radiant elements are composed of a series of coils that allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be carried out successfully, for example stews, sauces or reheated dishes.

Programming the cooking time

! All the cooking zones may be programmed for a length of time between 1 and 99 minutes.

1. Switch the hotplate on and set the temperature.
2. Press the button repeatedly until the light corresponding to the plate you wish to use illuminates.
3. Set the cooking time using the - + and buttons.
4. Confirm by pressing the button.

The timer begins counting down immediately. When the set programme has finished, a buzzer sounds for about 10 seconds and the cooking zone switches off. Repeat the above procedure for each hotplate you wish to programme.

Using multiple programmes and the display

If one or more plates are programmed, the display will show the data for the plate with the least time remaining, and the light corresponding to the position of the plate will be switched on. The lights corresponding to the other plates programmed will flash.

To display the time remaining for the other programmed plates, press the button repeatedly. The times remaining for each plate will be shown in a clockwise order, beginning with the front left plate.

Changing the programme

1. Press the button repeatedly until the time you wish to change is shown.
2. Use the buttons to set the new time.
3. Confirm by pressing the button.

To cancel a programme, follow the above points. When it comes to point 2, press the buttons simultaneously. The setting will return to zero and the display will no longer be operating in the programme set function.

Control panel lock

When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock the oven controls to avoid accidental changes to the settings (by children, during cleaning, etc.). Press the button to lock the control panel: the indicator light above the button will switch on.

To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking), you must switch off this function. Press the button for a few moments, the indicator light will switch off and the lock function will be removed.

Switching off the hob

Press the () button to switch the appliance off. If the control panel lock is on, the controls will continue to be locked even after the hob is switched on again. In order to switch the hob on again, you must first remove the lock function.

"Demo" mode

It is possible to set the hob to a demonstration mode where all the controls work normally but the heating elements do not switch on. To activate the "demo" mode the hob must be switched on, with the control panel lock activated.

• Press the button for the rear left plate, the button for the front right plate and the button simultaneously and hold them for three seconds.
• The display will alternate between DE and MO and the hob will be switched off.
• When the hob is switched on again it will be set to the "demo" mode.

To cancel this function:

• When the hob is switched on and the control panel lock is on, press the buttons as instructed above.
• The display will alternate between RE and AL and the hob will be switched off.
• When it is next switched on, the hob will function normally.

Practical advice on using the appliance

To obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware on it because as it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum level, which could damage the heating elements.

Recommended power levels for various types of cooking:

Power	Small plate (1100 -> 1400 W)	Medium plate (1800 -> 2000 W)	Large plate (2300 -> 2500 W)
Mini	Chocolate	Reheating	Slow-flame cooking
Medium	Sauces	Slow-flame cooking	Boiling liquids
Maxi	Slow-flame cooking	Boiling liquids	Frying / Grilling

Safety devices

Residual heat indicators

While the temperature of the cooking zone remains above 60^ , even after the programme has finished, the residual heat indicators placed near the relevant cooking zone remain lit to prevent the risk of burns.

Inactive function

If the hob is on but has not been used for approx 2 minutes, the control panel will be locked. If this continues for an additional 4 minutes, the hob will switch off automatically.

Overheating protection

Prolonged use of the hob can cause the electronic components to overheat.

When this happens, a thermal protection device reduces the power level of the front cooking zones (to about 3) until the temperature reaches a safer level.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch that automatically switches off the cooking zones when they have been operating for a certain amount of time at a given power level. While the safety switch has interrupted the cooking programme, the display alternates between the letters TI and ME.

Power level	Operating time limit in hours
1	10
2	6
3-4-5	5
6	4
7-8	3
9-10	2
11	1

Buzzer

Can also indicate several irregularities:

• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long.

All of these situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. The control panel locks automatically in these situations:

To unlock the control panel press the button, the previous settings will have been maintained. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only, according to the instructions in this manual. Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.

• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after the cooking zones have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).

• Keep any object that could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic and aluminium film and packaging: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.

• Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
• Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work without having unplugged the plug from the mains.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, rinse and dry.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use the scraper provided. Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

! The scraper provided is sharp: be careful when using it.

• If the plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This may be done while the appliance is warm or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance with clean water and dry the hob thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during cooking.

Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame)

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

! Frame made of aluminum with an aspect steel. Don't use products of cleaning and spot remover forbidden for aluminium.

Removing the hob

If it is necessary to remove the hob:

1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on each side.
