The glass-ceramic cooktop permits rapid vertical transmission of heat from the heating element below the
cooktop to the pots or pans placed on top of it. Heat does not spread horizontally, thus at a distance of just
a few centimetres from the cooking zone, the glass remains relatively cool to the touch.
Before cooking for the first time, it is necessary to clean the surface of the appliance. This should be done
using only recommended ceramic hob cleaners. After cleaning, the appliance should be operated in the
following manner to remove any residues or moisture that may be present within the appliance.
Before switching on, check which control (knob or touch) controls the desired cooking zone. It is best to
place the pot or pan on the cooking zone before switching on, and remove it only after switching off.
Never cook food directly on the glass-ceramic cooktop; always use suitable pots or containers.
Do not stare at the halogen lamps on the cooktop.
Absolutely do not leave the electric plates working without any pots on it. These wrong use
may cause overheating, damages to the appliance and fire hazzard.
To switch on the electric plate, turn the knob or set the touch-control to the desired power intensity.
Numbers 1 to 6-10 (depending which tipe of cooktop) indicate the progressive temperature levels.
Depending on the food to cook, adjust the heat intensity following the suggestions below:
Off
For melting processes (butter or chocolate)
For keeping foods hot and heating small amounts of liquids.
For heating larger amounts and beating custards and sauces.
Slow boiling, for soups, pasta and risotto, continuing steaming
processes, and cooking steaks and fried foods in general.
Browning meat, roasted potatoes, fried fish, bringing large
amounts of water to the boil.
Quick frying, char-grilled steaks, ect.
At the end of your cooking, always switch off the hob
These appliances have an indicator light that inform the user that the temperature of the glass is at a
dangerous level in the event of contact with the cooking zone.
In models with knobs control, each heating elements has a corresponding residual heat indicator light,
in models with touch control any residual heat is indicated by an H by the corresponding seven-segment display.

Turning Touch Control on/off
After start-up, the touch control requires about one second before it is ready for use. After reset, all displays and
LED s will flash for about 1 second. After this time, all displays and LED s go off and the touch control is in
stand-by status. The touch control can be turned on using the power supply button (key ON/OFF).
The displays of the cooking zones will show. If a cooking zone is hot, the display will show H . The touch control is
turned on exclusively by using only the power supply button alone. Pressing the power supply button at the same
time as other keys has no effect and the touch control remains in standby status. The touch control can be
switched off at any time using the power supply button. This is also the case if the control has been locked
with the child safety feature. The power supply button always has highest priority for shutdown.
Turning on a cooking zone
With the touch control on, select a cooking zone pressing the selection key. The respective display show a "0", the
plate is ready. If the area is hot an H will be shown on the display for the corresponding plate. By pressing the
key "+" you can select a power level and the zone will start heating up. Starting from level 1, it is increased by one
every 0.4sec. Upon reaching level 9 you cannot make any further increases. If the cooking zone is selected
using the "-" key, the initial level is 9 (the highest level available). If you hold down the key, the active level
decreases. When you reach 1 you cannot decrease it any further. Use the "+" or "-" keys for change settings.
Turning off the cooking zones
Select the zone you want to turn off using the selection key. The selection is shown by a dot in the display of the
relative zone. If you press the keys "+" and "-" at the same time, the power level will be set to 0. As an alternative,
the key "-" can be used to decrease the power level down to 0. If all cooking zones are at power level 0 , the
decimal points in the display will flash. If a cooking zone is hot, an H will be shown rather than a 0 .
All cooking zones can be switched off immediately, at any moment, by pressing the power button.
Automatic heating function (where supplied)
When the automatic heating function has been activated, the power of the cooking zone reaches 100% for an
established heating time, which depends on the selected power level. At the end of this heating time, the touch
control returns to the pre-selected power level. Procedure to start automatic heating:
- The control unit is switched on and a cooking zone is selected;
- After setting cooking stage "9" automatic heating is activated by pressing the "+" key again.
Immediately afterwards, a "A" appears on the display.
Once the parboiling boost has ended, only the selected cooking stage is indicated on the display.
Using the "minus" key you can de-activate the function at any time.
Automatic switch off function (limitation of operating time)
Based on the power level, each cooking zone is shut off after a maximum preset time if no operations are
performed. Each operation with the cooking zone (using the PLUS or MINUS keys, or the dual circuit in the
zone where present) resets the maximum operation time to its initial value.
When the control is on, the ON/OFF key has priority over all other keys, so that the control
can be shut off at any time, even in the event of multiple or continuous activation of keys.
In standby mode, continuous activation of keys will not have any effect. However, before the
electronic control can be turned back on, it must recognize that no key is activated.
Child-Lock function (where supplied)
Where present the "key-lock" button, press it for lock. Press again it to un-lock.
Otherwise, to lock press the cooking zone select key and the minus key simultaneously followed by pressing the
cooking zone select key again. All displays show an L for LOCKED (= child lock against unintentional activation).
This operational procedure must take place within 10sec and no other key than the one described above may be
pressed. The electronics remains in a locked condition until its released, even if the control until is switched off
and on again in the meantime. For release, press the cooking zone select and the minus key simultaneously.
L for LOCKED disappears from the display and all cooking zones display 0 with a flashing dot. After switching
off the control unit the child lock is reactivated. For de-active the lock function definitely, press the cooking zone
select key and the minus key simultaneously followed by pressing only the minus key again. After carrying out all
steps in the correct order and within a period of 10 sec, the locking is cancelled and the control unit is in a
STAND-BY mode. If the control unit is switched on again by pressing the ON/OFF key, all displays show "0",
the display dots keep flashing and the control unit may be operated for cooking.

Use of the multiple circuits (where supplied)
Depending on the model, your appliance can have a DUAL or a TRIPLE heating element. When a multiple plate is
activated, the internal circuits are turned on. If you also want to turn on the outermost circuit, you need only
select the extended zone key. By means of the multiple-circuit key, the outermost circuits of the cooking zone
can be de-activated at any time. An active external circuit is shown by a special additional LED. A new activation
of the multiple-circuit key activates the external circuits again and the assigned LED s come back on.
If the element to be controlled is a triple-circuit radiant hotplate, the following applies:
Pressing the multiple-circuit button for the first time switches off the outermost circuit and the
indicator light at the top of the display.
Pressing the multiple-circuit button a second time switches off the median circuit and the
indicator light at the bottom of the display.
Pressing this button a third time, switches on the median circuit again. Further pressing adds
the third circuit and its related indicator light.
Timer Function
The hob have an autonomous timer 1-99 min.; the sound signal when time has expired
This is available only when you are not using the hob.
Autonomous timer
If the touch control is off, the autonomous timer can be used by activating the timer key. The display will
show "00". If you activate the on key, the touch control goes back to standby status and the timer is shut off.
Modifications of the value (0-99 min.), can be carried out in increments of one minute with
any of the PLUS buttons from 0 to 99 and with the MINUS button from 99 to 0.
Continuous activation of PLUS or MINUS provide dynamic increase of the speed of
variation up to a maximum value, with no sound signals.
If the PLUS (or MINUS) key is released, the speed of increase (or decrease) goes back to its original value.
The timer can be set both with continuous activation of the PLUS and MINUS keys and with
continuous activation in subsequent touches (with sound signal). After the timer has been set,
the countdown starts. When the time has expired, there will be a sound signal and the display will flash.
The sound signal stops when:
Any keys is activated.
The display stops flashing and goes off (after few minutes)
Turn off/modify timer
The timer can be modified or turned off at any time by using the PLUS and MINUS keys
(with sound signal). The timer shuts off setting the time to 0 with the MINUS key or using
the PLUS or MONO keys at the same time, which will set the timer directly to 0 without shutting it off.
If the touch control is turned on ( using the power supply key), the autonomous timer goes off automatically.
Programming timer for cooking zones
When you turn on the touch control, you can programme an independent timer for each cooking zone.
By selecting the cooking zone with the zone selection key, and then setting the power level
and finally by activating the timer key, you can set the countdown for cooking zone shutdown.
When the timer is selected, the relative display flashes, and the LED around the display come on.
If a cooking zone is selected, the LED of the timer go off and the display no longer flashes.
When the selection is modified from one zone to another, the timer display shows the timer value
associated with that zone. The timers programmed for each cooking zone.
Timers programmed for each cooking zone remain active nonetheless.
In other ways the timer behaves in the same manner as the autonomous timer.
To increase the value, the PLUS key for the corresponding cooking zone must be used.
Expiration of time is notified by an acoustic signal and by 00 on the display; the LED of the cooking zone
assigned to the timer flashes. The cooking zone is shut off, and an H is shown if the zone is hot.
Otherwise the zone display shows a dash.
Thermal protection of the control panel
When the control panel detects an ambient temperature greater than 95°C (+- 5%) it shuts off the elements.
A heating element that is shut off by the thermal protection can be only when the temperature drops below 95°C.
