CORRECT USE OF THE
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
When using the electric hotplate:
–absolutely avoid idle operation (with-
out pans)
–try not to spill liquids on the hotplates
when they are hot
–only use pans with flat bottoms (elec-
tric type)
–to save electricity use lids when pos-
sible
–always use pans which cover the hot-
plate surface completely.
Operation of the electric hotplates is
signalled by an indicator light.
ATTENTION
During and after use of the electric
hotplates the cooktop becomes hot.
Keep children away.

9
GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP
The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface
allows rapid vertical heat transmission
from the heating elements under the
cooktop to the pans on it.
The heat does not propagate horizontal-
ly and thus the cooktop remains “cold”
just a few centimetres away from the
cooking zone.
The two cooking zones are indicated by
two circles drawn on the glass ceramic
surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make
sure that it is clean.
ATTENTION
During and after use of the electric
hotplates the cooktop becomes hot.
Keep children away.
TABLE FOR USE OF THE

HALOGEN ZONES
The heating element consists of halogen
lamp and an electrical resistance.
It instantly reaches the required temper-
ature.
The area is controlled by a continuous
energy regulator from 1 (minimum posi-
tion) to 12 (maximum temperature).
Warning for eyes: Do not stare at the
lamp when it is on).
“HILIGHT” RADIANT ZONES
The heating element is formed of a coil
of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is con-
trolled by a continuous energy regulator
from 1 (minimum position) to 12 (maxi-
mum temperature).

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP
ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF
THE COOKTOP
–Before switching on make sure that
you have the correct knob for the hot-
plate chosen. It is advisable to put the
pan on the hotplate before switching
on and to take it away after switching
off.
–Use cookware with flat and even bot-
toms (be careful when using cast iron
vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch
the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful
that the bottom is clean and dry.
–Make sure that the handles of cook-
ware do not stick out over the edge of
the cooker, to avoid them being
knocked over by accident. This also
makes it more difficult for children to
reach the cooking vessels.
–Do not lean over the cooking zones
when they are switched on.
–Do not leave objects of any type on
the surfaces made of ceramic, glass
or similar fragile material.
–Do not drop heavy or sharp objects
on the glass ceramic cooktop. If the
surface is broken or damaged unplug
the cooktop and contact the after-
sales service.
–Do not put aluminium foil or plastic
objects on the cooking zones when
they are hot.
–Remember that the cooking zones
remain hot for some time after they
are switched off (about 30 min.).
–Follow the cleaning instructions care-
fully.
–If the cooktop has halogen lamps, do
not stare at them.
–If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediately
and call the After-Sales Service.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
LIGHTS
When the cooking zone temperature is
higher than 60°C, the corresponding indica-
tor light comes on to signal that the zone is
hot.
This light remains on even after the cooking
zone has been switched off, to signal that
the zone itself is still hot.
The cooking zones remain hot for some
time after they are switched off. During this
time do not touch the cooking zone and
make sure that children do not touch them.
The light goes out automatically when the
cooking zone temperature drops below
60°C.
TIPS FOR QUICK AND
CORRECT COOKING:
–To shorten the cooking time, when
switching on the cooktop turn the knob to
maximum. After a short time, turn the
knob to the position required for cooking.
–Use flat-bottomed cookware.
For best energy use the bottom of the
pan should be of the same diameter as
(or slightly larger than) the cooking zone.
–As the cooking zone remains hot for some
time after the cooktop is switched off,
turn the zone off a few minutes before the
end of cooking. The residual heat will
complete the cooking.
Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic cook-
top as a work surface.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
AND CONTROL PANEL
●Before cleaning the cooktop switch it
off and wait for it to cool down.
●Clean with a cloth wetted with hot
water and soap or water and liquid
detergent.
●Do not use steel pads or products
which are abrasive, corrosive or chlo-
rine based.
●Do not leave acid or alkaline sub-
stances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice
etc.) on the cooktop.
ENAMEL COOKTOP
●Enamel parts must be washed with a
sponge and soapy water or other non-
abrasive products. Dry with a soft
cloth. If acid substances such as
lemon juice, tomato sauce and vine-
gar are left on the enamel for a long
time it will become stained.
STAINLESS STEEL COOKTOP
●Clean with special products which are
available on the market.
Note: regular use could cause discolour-
ing around the electric hotplates,
because of the high temperature.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
●Clean when the hotplate is lukewarm.
●Clean with a cloth wetted with water
and salt and finish by rubbing with a
rag dampened with oil.
●Do not use water, to avoid the forma-
tion of rust.
CLEANING THE GLASS
CERAMIC COOKTOP
Make sure that the cooktop is switched
off before cleaning it.
Remove any encrustation using a spe-
cial scraper which can be bought.
Remove dust with a damp cloth.
Detergents can be used, but they must
not be abrasive or corrosive.
Any remaining detergent must be com-
pletely removed with a damp cloth.
Do not put any objects on the cooktop
which can melt with heat, such as plas-
tic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or
sugar products.
If any object melts on the cooktop,
remove it immediately (while the cook-
top is still hot) using a special scraper, to
prevent any irreversible damage to the
glass ceramic surface.
Do not use knives or sharp objects
which could damage the cooktop sur-
face.
Do not use abrasive sponges or pads
which could irreversibly damage the
glass ceramic surface.

IMPORTANT: Install the cooktop fol-
lowing the manufacturers instruc-
tions.
Incorrect installation can cause dam-
age to people, animals or things, for
which the manufacturer cannot be
held responsible.
–The appliance must be connected to
the mains by a competent electrician
and according to the regulations in
force.
–The appliance must be connected to
the mains, checking first of all that the
voltage corresponds to the value
given on the rating plate and that the

take the load indicated on the rating
plate.
–Fit a standard plug which is suitable
for the power absorbed by the appli-
ance.
–The plug must be put into a socket
connected to the earth system in
compliance with safety rules.
–For the United Kingdom:
As the colours of the wire of the sup-
ply cable of this appliance may not
correspond with the colours which
identify the terminals of your plug,
proceed as follows:
–the yellow/green wire must be con-
nected to the plug terminal marked
with the letter E or with the earth
symbol or coloured green or yel-
low/green;
–the blue wire must be connected to
the terminal marked with the letter
N or coloured black;
–the brown wire must be connected
to the terminal marked with the let-
ter L or coloured red;
–The connection can be made directly
