NORMAL HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate
the knob (fig. 2.1 - 2.2) o the desired set-
ting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 or 1 to 12 indi-
cate the operating positions with increa-
sing number corresponding to higher
temperature settings.
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the
heat down to the level desired.
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar
to that of the normal hotplate,
with 6 or
12
selectable heating positions (fig. 2.1 -
2.2
).
The characteristics of this hotplate,
which is also equipped with a thermo-
static cut-off device, make it possible to:
✓achieve the cooking temperature
rapidly
✓make full use of its output power
using flat-bottomed pans
✓limit the output power with unsuitable
saucepans.

Caution! the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

PROPER USE OF THE
ELECTRIC HOTPLATE (fig. 2.3)
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the
heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will contin-
ue to produce heat for about five min-
utes after it has been turned off.
While using the electric hotplate, you
must:
✓avoid keeping it on without something
on it;
✓avoid pouring liquids on it while it is
hot;
✓use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate
type) pots and pans only;
✓use cooking receptacles which cover
as much of the surface of the hotplate
as possible;
✓to save electricity, use lids whenever
possible;
✓never cook food directly on the hot-
plate: always use a pan or suitable
container.
An indicator light located on the control
panel signals that the hotplate is operat-
ing.

After a short period of use, experience will teach you which setting is the right one for
your needs.

GENERAL ADVICE
✓Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.
✓It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the
enamelled parts.
✓All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-abra-
sive product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.
✓Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
✓Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
WARNING
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the
underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be
touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
ENAMELLED PARTS
✓All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other
non-abrasive products.
✓Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.
If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the
enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
✓Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.
✓For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a lit-
tle hot vinegar.
Attention
The appliance gets very hot, mainly around the cooking areas. It is very impor-
tant that children are not left alone in the kitchen when you are cooking.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance
thus make it unsafe.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CONTROL KNOB
✓The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
GLASS LID (optional)
✓Do not close the glass lid when the electrical plates are still hot and when the oven,
installed below the cooking hob is on or still hot.
✓Do not rest hot pans or heavy objects on the cooker lid.
✓Remove any spillages from the surface of the lid before opening.

11

kitchen fixture, a hole with the dimen-
sions shown in fig. 4.2 has to be made,
bearing in mind the following:
✓within the unit, between the bottom
of the cooktop and the upper surface
of a shelf there must be a clearance
of at least 30 mm.
It is absolutely essential that you
place a separator between the base
of the cooktop and the built-in unit or
the oven;
✓the cooker top must be kept no less
than 100 mm away from any side wall
(fig. 4.2);
✓the hob must be
installed at least 60
mm from the wall;
✓there must be a
distance of at least 650
mm between the hob
and any wall cupboard
or extractor hood
positioned immediately
above (see fig. 4.1);
✓if the hob is installed
over a built-in oven,
there must be a dis-
tance of at least 30 mm
between the two appliances.

DETAILS
✓Connection to the electric power supply must be carried out by a qualified technician
and following the appropriate safety regulations;
✓Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the
appliance (stamped on the appliance identification plate) must be checked for corre-
spondence to the available mains supply voltage, and the mains electric wiring should
be capable of handling the hob’s power rating (also indicated on the identification
plate);
✓The power point must be connected to a suitable earth wiring, in conformity to current
safety regulations.
✓It is possible to connect the appliance directly to the mains supply by means of a
heavy duty switch with 3 mm minimum distance between the contacts.
✓The power supply cord must not touch against any hot surfaces and must be placed
so that its temperature does not exceed 75°C at any point along its length.
✓Once the appliance has been installed, the switch must always be accessible.
✓The appliance must have its own supply; any other appliances installed near it must
be supplied separately.
• N.B. For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions
or multiple power points as these may overheat and catch fire.
• If the hob surface is cracked disconnect the appliance from the mains and con-
tact the After-Sales Service.
In the event that installation should require modifications to the mains supply wiring sys-
tem, it is recommended that a qualified technician be called to carry out substitution.
The technician will also have to verify that the cross-section of the electric cables on the
power point match the appliance’s power rating.
IMPORTANT: The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician accord-
ing with the current local regulations and in compliance with the manufacturer
instructions.
Incorrect installation might cause harm and damage to people, animals or
objects, for which the manufacturer accepts no responsibility.
Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any inconvenience caused by
failure to comply with this rule.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical section of the appliance, it must
be disconnected from the mains.

Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance, may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, proceed as follows:
1) The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal
marked E(Earth) or coloured Green.
2) The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N
(Neutral), or coloured Black.
3) The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L(Live),
or coloured Red.
