Electrical connection

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Single-phase connection

Blue Brown Green/Yellow

If the hob is fitted with a supply cable, connect it to the mains, observing the colour coding of the wires (see diagram). The yellow-green earth wire must be 5 cm longer than the other wires.

N L

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations

(the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuitbreaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.

• The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.

Switching off the hob

Press the button to switch off the appliance - do not rely solely on the pan sensor.

If the appliance controls have been locked, they will continue to be locked even after the hob has been switched back on. In order to switch the hob on again, you must remove the lock function.

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped with a cooking recipient sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a cooking recipient is placed on it. If, once the appliance has been switched on and the cooking zone and corresponding power level selected, the numerical indicator flashes, this means that the cooking recipient should be placed in the corresponding position.

Heat indicators

If, after the appliance has been used, the letter “H” remains lit on the corresponding display, this means that the heating zone is still hot (temperature over 60°C); do not touch it. This indication will disappear once the hotplate has cooled down.

Buzzer

This can also indicate several irregularities:

• Something has been spilt on the control panel.

• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. The control panel locks automatically in the above situations. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

Overheating protection

The hob is fitted with a protection device for electronic components; in the event of overheating the power of the hotplates is limited automatically. This could influence cooking times slightly.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches off the cooking zones when they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a given power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows “0”.

For example: the rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 7,5 hours of continuous operation, while the front hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 9,5 hours.

Maintenance and care

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.

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which 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.

The surface on which the cooking recipients are placed is made using glass ceramic material. When cleaning this hob, proceed as follows:

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.

• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper

(this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can achieve excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

• 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 maintenance task should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.

• To prevent any burnt-on residue from building up on the frying basket and its special rest, clean both items using a stainless steel wire sponge which has been soaked in soapy water.
