• Keep children away form the appliance when it is in use and also when it has been just switched off.
• The appliances must be repaired or adjusted exclusively by a qualified technician.
• Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical appliances near the hob do not come into contact with hot parts.
• Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones when there is no pan in position.
• Avoid the use of high pressure water or steam cleaning equipment.
• If liquid spills or boils over, the hob may switch off: to enable it to be switched back on again, carefully dry the controls zone.
• The cooktop features different size hotplates/cooking zones. Use pots whose base diameter is the same as that of the hotplate/cooking zone.
To avoid permanently damaging the glass ceramic cooktop, do not use:
- pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat;
- metal pots with enamelled bottom.
• When finished cooking, press button .
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or a support surface.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when frying food -risk of fire.
• If the glass ceramic surface should break or crack due to violent impact (falling objects, etc.) do not use it and call the After-Sales Service immediately.
• Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil, plastic containers or cloths on the hot cooking zones.
• Do not drag pans across the glass-ceramic surface
- risk of scratches.
• Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on the cooktop. If necessary, clean the cooktop immediately following the care and maintenance instructions in this handbook.

Energy saving tips
For optimum results, observe the following advice:
• Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone or slightly larger.
• Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
• If possible, keep lids on pots and pans when cooking.
• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in order to cut down cooking time.
• A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and time.

Installation instructions
Installation
Cooktop
• 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 from the edge of the cooktop to the side of the column unit.
• Make an opening in the worktop, respecting the dimensions indicated in the enclosed product description sheet.
• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.
Important!
In order to prevent the electronic circuits from overheating, and therefore from being damaged, we recommend the following:
• 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 from our range 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.
• Switch the hob off after use.

Electrical connection must be made before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply.
The appliance must be installed by a qualified electrician who is fully aware of current safety and installation regulations. Specifically, installation must be carried out in compliance with the regulations of the local electricity supply company. Make sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate is the same as the power supply voltage in your home. Regulations require that the appliance be earthed: use conductors (including the earth conductor) of the appropriate size only. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or animals and for damage to property resulting from failure to observe the above regulations. For the electrical connection use a H05 RR-F type cable as indicated in the table below:
Connecting to the terminal board
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.

Cooker care
Care & maintenance
Care and maintenance
Clean the cooktop, when it is cool, after each use. This will prevent the build-up of dirt and make cleaning easier.
WARNING
At all costs avoid the use of high pressure water or steam cleaning equipment.
• Use a clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes and washing up liquid or a specific glass ceramic cleaner.
• Remove baked-on dirt with the supplied scraper tool (if provided) and specific cleaning products.
• Food spills should be cleaned off before they bake onto the glass ceramic surface.
• Foods with high sugar content (toffee, fruit juice, jam, etc.) that boil over while cooking, or spattered sugar stains must be immediately removed using a scraper even if hot.
• Do not use abrasive products, bleach, hobcleaner spray or pan scourers.
The cooktop should be treated periodically with a proprietary brand of protective wax for glass-ceramic hobs.
Troubleshooting guide
Cooktop not working
• When pressing the control buttons, did you follow the instructions in the section “Using the hob” in the enclosed ”Product Description Sheet”?
• Is there perhaps a power failure?
• Did you dry the hob carefully after cleaning it?
1. 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 “Care and maintenance” of the glassceramic hob paragraph.
2. 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.
