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.
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
This appliance meets the Ecodesign requirements of European
Regulation n. 66/2014, in compliance with the European standard
EN 60350‑2.

INSTALLATION
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The cooktop must be set into a worktop between 20 mm and 50 mm deep.
There must be nothing between the cooktop and the oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).
The distance between the lower face of the glass ceramic hob and the cupboard or
separating panel must be at least 20 mm.
If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column unit, leave a distance of at least 100 mm
min. 20 mm
from the edge of the cooktop to the side of the column unit.
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 informations.
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.
To remove the hob, use a screwdriver (not provided) to prise off the fixing clips on the underside of the appliance.
PLACING THE HOB
After the electrical connection (see the chapter “Electrical connection”), position each fixing clips on the dedicated slots on the lateral sides of the
hob as shown in the picture. Then push the hob inside the cut out and check that the glass is flat and parallel to the worktop. The fixing clips are
designed for every type of worktop material (wood, marble, etc.).

The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply by means of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm.
ATTENTION: the power supply cable must be long enough to allow the cooktop to be removed from the worktop and must be positioned so as to
avoid damage or overheating caused by contact with the base.
NOTE: the yellow/green earth wire must be connected to the terminal with the symbol
and must be longer than the other wires.
• Remove approx. 70 mm of the cable sheath from the power supply cable (B).
• Strip approx. 10 mm of sheath from the wires. Then insert the power supply cable into the cable clamp and connect the wires to the terminal
block as indicated in the connection diagram placed close to the terminal block itself.
• Secure the power supply cable (B) by means of the cable clamp.
• Close the terminal board with the cover (A) securing it with the screw provided.
• After the electrical connection, fit the hob from the top and hook it to the support springs, according to the illustration.

FIRST TIME USE
Upon first installation, the control panel performs a functional test for
about 1 second, after which it automatically switches to the “Key lock”
function.
To deactivate the function, press and hold button “D”; an acoustic signal
will sound and the corresponding led will turn off.
NOTE: If a reset occurs, repeat the procedure described above.
DAILY USE
SWITCHING THE HOB ON/OFF
To switch the hob on, keep button “A” pressed for approx. 2 seconds.
The 4 cooking zone displays show “0”. If within 20 seconds none of
the cooking zones is activated, the hob switches off automatically as a
safety precaution.
SWITCHING ON AND ADJUSTING COOKING ZONES
Press one of the buttons “B” corresponding to the cooking zone you
intend to use. Select the heat setting required with buttons “E” or “C”.
The other selectable cooking settings go from 1 to 9. Press buttons +/−
at the same time to cancel all settings.
Pressing button “+” when level 9 is reached, the “Booster” function is activated
and the letter “A” appears on the display.
KEY LOCK
The Key lock function is switched on by holding down button “D” until a
dot lights up above the function button. The Key lock function locks all
the hob’s other functions, with the exception of the On/Off button “A”.
The function remains on even after the hob is switched off and on again
and can be deactivated by pressing button “D” again until the dot above
the function button goes off.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When the cooking zone is switched off, the residual heat indicator “H”
remains on or flashes alternating with “0” until the temperature of the
hob returns within safety levels.
IMPORTANT: the control is deactivated 10 seconds after the heat setting has
been selected.
To change the heat setting, first press the selection button “B” again, then
proceed to change the setting, using buttons “E” or “C”.
IMPORTANT: The hob’s safety features include an automatic switching
off function. Prolonged use of the same heat setting triggers automatic
switch-off of the cooking zone (for example, after around 1 hour at
maximum heat setting, the cooking zone switches off).
TIMER
To set the Timer function, select the desired cooking zone and power
setting then press the cooking zone key again and a luminous dot
will appear on the display of the timer-controlled cooking zone. The
indication “00” blinks on the 2 displays. Press buttons “C” or “E” to set
the time from 1 to 99.
IMPORTANT: To avoid a permanent damage the hob:
• do not use pots with bottoms that are not flat;
• do not use metal pots with enamelled bottom;
• do not place hot pots/pans over the control panel.
IMPORTANT: after 10 seconds the timer displays will show the power
setting of the other cooking zones.
To view the remaining cooking time, press the timer-controlled cooking
zone key twice.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•
•
•
•
Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage
the glass.
After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits
and stains from food residue.
Sugar or foods with a high sugar content can damage the hob and
must be immediately removed.
•
•
•
•
Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner
(follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
Spills of liquid in the cooking zones can cause the pots to move or
vibrate.
After cleaning the hob, dry thoroughly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the hob will not operate correctly, before calling the After-Sales Service,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide to determine the problem.
•
•
•
•
Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Daily use”.
Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.
Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
If a cooking zone has been selected and an “F” or an “ER” appear
on the display followed by a number, contact the After Sales Service
and inform them (with the exception of the message “F03” or “ER03”
•
that identifies the incorrect cleaning of the controls area. To solve the
problem follow the instruction in the "Maintenance and Cleaning"
paragraph).
If the hob does not work following intensive use, the hob internal
temperature is too high. Wait a few minutes until the hob cools down.
If after the above checks the fault still occurs, get in touch with the nearest
After Sales Service.
