Use
Operationofthetopwiththeelectricplates
Theelectrictopscaneitherbeofthestandardtype,oroftherapidtype.Theselast
featurearedmarkattheircentre.Accordingtoyourneeds,thetopscanbeadjusted
byturningtheknobseitherclockwiseoranti‐clockwiseon6positionbesidesthe0
position(off).
Thepositionsmarkedbythehighernumericalindexmatchthemaximumoutputof
heat(seetable).Whenusingrapidtops,athermostatautomaticallyreducesthe
powerwhentheselectedtemperatureisreached,andthetopoperates
intermittentlytoreachaconstantcookingtemperature.
Thepilotlightsetinthecontrolareasignalsthattheelectricplatesareswitchedon.


Adviceontheuseofcookingtops
ToSpareenergyandtohavealongerlifeoftheelectrictops,weadviseusingpans
withflatbottomandwithadiameternotlesserthanthediameterofthetops.
Caremustbetakenthatfluidsdonotspillontheelectricplates.
Neverleavethetopsonwithoutpansonthemorwithemptypans,andneveruse
thetopstoheattheplace.Only switch a hotplate on once a pan has been placed upon it.     
Onceswitchesoff,theplatesremainwarmforawhile.

Switchofftheheatingelementbeforeremovingthepans

Utensils
 Usepanswithflatbottoms.Unevenorthinbottomswillwasteenergyandare
slowtocook
 Usepansslightlylargerthanthehotplates.Smallerpanswillwasteenergy.
 Donotuseoversizedpans.Morethan50mmoverhangcanoverheatcooktop
componentsandcancausefinecracksintheenamelhobwhichwilltrapdirt.
 Useonlydryutensils.Donotplacewetorsteamyparts(eg.lids)onthe
hotplates.


 Donotusepotsandpansthatareunsteadyandlikelytorockoroverbalance.
 Donotoperatethecooktopforanextendedtimewithoututensilonthe

Cleaning
Cutoffthemainstotheequipmentbeforecarryingoutanyworkandwaitforitcool
down.Weadviseusinglukewarmwateranddetergentstocleanenameledelements.
Neveruseabrasiveproducts.Rinsewithwaterthestainlesssteelelementsanddry
usingasoftcloth.Usespongesoramoistclothtocleanthetops,andrememberthat
waterinexcesscandamagetheelectricelements.Cleanthehardstainsusingnon
abrasivedetergents,orspecialproductsthatcanbefoundonthemarket,orwarm
vinegar.Cleantheelectrictopsusingamoistcloth,thenlightlyoilthetopwhenitis
stillwarm.
Applytoskilledpersonnelwhentheequipmentshowsanomaliesduringitsuse.
Belowwegivetheinstructionsforqualifiedinstallerssothattheinstallation,setting
andmaintenanceoperationsareperformedcorrectlyandaccordingtothe
regulationsinforce.

ImportantNotice
Afteruse,adiscolourationofthestainlesssteelhotplaterimsistobeexpectedand
cannotbeavoided.
Thisdoesnotaffectitsoperation

Installation
Electricalconnection
Applianceswiththree‐polecablearesetupforoperationwithalternatingcurrentat
thevoltageandfrequencyindicatedontheratingplate.Lookattheconnection
wiringdiagram.Theearthconductorisyellow/green.
Theconnectiontotheelectricitysupplymustbemadebyaqualifiedpersonand
followingtheregulationsinforce.
Whentheapplianceistobeinstalledaboveabuilt‐inoven,thetwoappliancesmust
beconnectedseparately,tomakeiteasiertotaketheappliancesoutandfor
electricalsafety.
Thesupplycablemustbesopositionedthatnopointcanreachatemperature50°C
higherthanambienttemperature.
Alsocheckthatthesupplysystemhasaneffectiveearthconnectionandcorresponds
tothestandardsinforceandthattheplug(oromnipolarswitch)canbereached
easilywhentheapplianceisinstalled.

ThemanufacturerrefusesallresponsibilityIfthestandardsinforcearenot
respected.

TECHNICALINFORMATIONFORINSTALLATIONPERSONNEL
Thisappliancemustbeinstalledonlybyauthorisedpersonnelandinaccordance
withtheregulationsofElectricityauthorities.Thewallandbenchsurfacesmustbe
capableofsustainingtemperaturesof75degreesCelsius.Alllaminates,fixing
adhesiveandsurfacingmaterialsshouldbecertifiedsuitableforthistemperature.
Refertofigure6forrequiredclearancesaroundapplianceandforthecutoutinthe
benchtop.

Note1:
Fireresistantmaterial(egceramictiles)isrequiredto450mmaboveburnertopif
wallorverticalstructuresarewithin200mmfromburner.
Note2:
Rangehoodandexhaustsystemarenotpermittedwithin650mmabove burnertops.
Note3:
Leaveatleast50mmclearancebetweenthebaseoftheapplianceandacombustible
surface.

Neverleavethepackingcomponents(plasticbags,nails,foamedpolystyrene,etc...)
withinthereachofthechildrensincetheyareasourceofpotentialdanger.

Fixingofthehotplate
 Positionthespecialsealedgasket(provided)ontheedgeofthecooktopmaking
surethattheendsmeetwithoutonelyingontopoftheother.
 Putthehobintheunitopeningmakingsurethatitiscentered.
 Fastenthecooktoptotheunitwiththefasteningbrackets(seefig.7).The
tractionofthescrewswillbeenoughtocutthesealinggasketsothattheexcess
caneasilyberemoved.
