WARNING

• Repair of any fault in your hob must be carried out only by an

Authorized Repair Service, otherwise the guarantee is not valid.

• Technical details and identification of the appliance are shown on the specifications plate.

Consult this plate before procceding with electrical connection.

• Electrical connection must be carried out by a specialist familiar with the laws and official regulations governing in each country.

Fill in the data table you will find below, with the data appearing on the specifications plate sticked on the hob.

OPERATING

Sensors

The vitro-ceramic cooking surface is fitted with sensors that are touchsensitive and also react to the presence of a reflective object.

The hotplate is operated by touching the corresponding sensors with your fingers.

Take care to touch only one sensor at a time, otherwise they will not react to the touch.

Keep the sensors clean and do not place objects on them. The sensors may misinterpret dirt or objects placed on them as finger contacts.

Setting up

While the cooking surface is inoperative, the indicators for all sensors are switched off.

Starting up

Touch the ON/OFF sensor for 3 seconds. The power 0 displays will light up. If no power is selected within five seconds, the hotplate will automatically switch off and must be switched on again.

OPERATING

Power sensors -/+

Each heat zone has a sensor next to each display (which indicates its position on the hob). If you act on this sensor the sensor associated to the last is selected and the corresponding display begins to flash changing its brightness. The heat zone is deselected automatically if you do not act on any sensors in a 10 second interval.

To change the power of the heat zone, the heat zone is chosen (acting on the sensor associated to the position of this heat zone), and immediately you have to act on the + or the – until obtaining the required power, between

1…9.

Switching off the heat zone

Choose 0 power of the heat zone you wish to turn off. If the hotplate is hot, H will light up.

Residual heat display H

When activated but with level 0, the corresponding displays shows 0 and H alternatively.

While a hotplate is still hot but switched off, the display will show H.

Depending on the power that was used, this display may remain on for up to approximately 30 minutes.

Do not touch the area of the hotplate.

There is a risk of burning.

¡Warning!

If a power cut occurs while the residual heat display is on, remenber that when power is restrored the display will not re-appear even though the hotplate is still hot.

OPERATING

Hotplate blocking function

The blocking of the hotplates prevents accidental changes while they are operating. The initial selections are maintained and the indicators remain active. The hotplates should be blocked to prevent children from operating them or to prevent the effects of accidental contact with containers or tools.

Press the blocking sensor until its pilot light comes on.

Unblocking

Touch the blocking sensor until its pilot light switches off.

C60T126A3 15/7/03 07:22 Página 9

OPERATING

Automatic programming 9

(quick heating)

Each control area includes an automatic programming function.

This programming allows the corresponding maximum temperature to be reached quickly and maintained automatically.

Selection

Touch sensor + once and it is in position 9, the corresponding decimal point to 9 will switch itself on.

Touching sensor – of the same zone will decrease to the required level

(levels 3…6 are recommended). Touch control when placed at the required power level an “A” will flash.

After having reached the automatic heating time a short signal will be heard and the heat zone goes on working in a conventional way. The “A” will stop appearing.

To cancel the automatic programming touch the - sensor and the decimal point will switch off.

SAFETY

Safety systems

In order to protect the electronics, if the control unit detects excessive heat it will switch off the hotplate closest to the sensors and the letter H will appear on the display. This hotplate can be activated when the temperature of the electronic unit returns to normal level.

Each hotplate is equiped with an interior temperature limiter that switches off the hotplate if the vitro-ceramic surface is heated excessively.

If any cracks appear on the vitro-ceramic surface, inmediately disconnect it from the mains. Do not use any part of the hob until a new vitro-ceramic surface has been fitted.

Automatic switch off

If a hotplate is left on accidentally, it will automatically be switched off after a period of time has passed, depending on the power level that has been selected (level 1 - 10 hours, level 9 - 1 hour).

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

If more than one sensor is pressed simultaneously, the keys are blocked.

If all the power levels are at 0, the control is automatically switched off after

5 seconds.

If one or more sensors are pressed for more than 30 seconds (a container or tools is resting on the sensor), the control will automatically be switched off and a warning will sound every 30 seconds while the sensor remains pressed.

USE OF COOKING PANS

Most stainless steel, enamel, iron, ceramic and copper pans can be used on vitroceramic hobs.

YES

ALUMINIUM

Aluminium pans are not recommended as they may stain the vitreous surface, unless they have stainless-steel covered bottoms.

STAINLESS STEEL

ENAMEL

CERAMIC

COPPER

ALUMINIUM

SATINLESS STEEL

Hotplates should not be switched on without a pan on top. The base of the pan should be flat and dry.

Pans that have been used on gas cookers are not normally enough flat and absorb heat badly.

Make sure that the diameter of the pan is at least that of the hotplate.

Avoid scarping pans over the vitroceramic surface, as it may become scratched.

Always lift the pan.

Never use tinfoil or plastic containers.

They will melt and fuse permanently with the vitroceramic surface.

11

C60T126A3 15/7/03 07:22 Página 12

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: If the vitroceramic surface breaks or you notice cracks on it, disconnect the hob.

Call your Repair Service.

Clean the vitroceramic surface frequently, when it is cool. Never use abrasive products or pads. Clean with a damp cloth and soapy water.

Never use a steam cleaner.

Once a week, clean thoroughly with specific products that preserve and protect vitroceramic hobs (Sample in accessory bag). Scrape off hard stuck dirt with the scraper (Included in accessory bag).

The manufacturer recommends

VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and conserving your vitro-ceramic hob.

If sugar (or sugary matter) or plasttic is accidentally burnt on the hob, remove at once with the scraper while it is still hot. Otherwise they may leave a pemanent mark.

Do not use the hob as a work surface.

Be particularly careful with dirt like soil or dust from vegetables, cleaning powders, etc. which may scratch the surface when pans are slid over it.

CONNECTIONS SCHEMA

If the type of connections to which the hotplate will be installed is other than

220 to 240 V AC remove the cable and make the connection according to the adjacent drawings. (The cable must support temperatures of up to 120ºC).

The hotplate must be connected to the mains with a plug that meets the EEC 7 publication or with a multi-pole switch with a distance between the open contacts of a least 3mm.

INSTALLATION

3

Place the hob alongside the cavity in the worktop and connect the power cable to the electrical socket.

IMPORTANT: Carry out connection with the power disconnected. There must be a good grounding connection and a switch must be provided in an accessible place to isolate all phases, with at least 3mm. clearance between contacts. The manufacturer will not accept responsability for installations carried out in a different way as informed here.

It is equipped with a power input cable for high temperatures.

If a new power input cable is required, installation should be performed by a technician certificated by the manufacturer.

If the power feed wire is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, by the after-sales service or by authorized personnel for safety reasons.

4

Next insert the hob in the worktop cavity, pressing down firmly to ensure a good seal.

5

Fix the 4 clamps underneath the hob to the 4 corners of the cavity.

(Clamps, brackets and nuts supplied in acessory bag).
