Disposal
When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials
inside the machine, while preventing potential damage
to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out
dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of
their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
exhausted household appliances, owners may contact
the public service provided or their local dealer.

CONTROL
KNOBS
Description of the heating elements
The heating elements are circular in shape and
turn red in colour only 20-30 seconds after they have
been turned on.
Combined halogen and electrical heating elements.
The cooktop utilises heating elements which are
made up of two halogen lamps and a circular
heating element. This combination provides ideal
heat distribution across the entire surface of the
cooking area without compromising the advantages
of the halogen lamps. The main characteristic of
halogen lamps is that they produce an
instantaneous emission of a large quantity of light
and heat, which means:
a rapid source of heat similar to that provided by
gas burners;
an equally rapid elimination of the heat source.
The control knobs
Each cooking area is equipped with a control knob
to regulate the temperature at any time from a
minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12. The table 1
provides information on the settings indicated on the
knobs and the corresponding, recommended uses.
The ON indicator light
This light comes on when one of the heating
elements has been turned on.
Residual heat indicator light
This light indicates that the temperature of one or
more cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the
elements have been turned off. Some models come
equipped with four such indicator lights, one for
each of the four cooking areas.
Halogen lamps are extremely easy to use and their
operation is similar to that of other heating elements.
Please refer to the table.

Precautions and tips
GB
This appliance has been designed and
manufactured in compliance with international safety
standards. The following warnings are provided for
safety reasons and must be read carefully.
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 durability, 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 have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware
placed on it because it heats up and rapidly
reaches the maximum level, which could damage
the heating elements.
General safety
The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced
individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with
the product. These individuals should, at the very
least, be supervised by someone who assumes
responsibility for their safety or receive
preliminary instructions relating to the operation of
the appliance.
The appliance was designed for domestic use
inside the home and is not intended for
commercial or industrial use.
The appliance must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous
to leave the appliance exposed to rain and
storms.
Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with
wet or damp hands and feet.
6
The appliance must be used by adults only for the
preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions provided in this booklet. 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 they have been
switched off. An indicator light provides a warning
when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
Keep any object which 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 film and
aluminium foil or 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 perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having disconnected the appliance from
the electricity mains.
Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,
etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or
other active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in
keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE
directives). It is designed not to create
interference on any other electrical apparatus
being used on condition that the apparatus in
question also complies with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range
magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction
hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be
designed to comply with relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own
product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its
conformity or any possible incompatibility.
Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Stainless steel frame *
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
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.
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.
GB
Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is
similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
Disassembling the hob
It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen roll.
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in
each corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
the appliance.
If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
Food residue and dirt can be removed using a
special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do
not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid
incrustations. For excellent results, use a special
stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass
cleaning soaked in soapy water.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If
the appliance breaks down, contact a Service
Centre.
If any 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
maintenance 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.
* Only available on certain models.
