Recycling Instructions - Environment Policy
•Our household appliances are only packaged using non-
pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. Please
help by disposing the packaging correctly. You can retrieve the
addresses of recycling and disposal centers from your retailer or
from the competent local organizations.
•Never leave all or parts of the packaging lying around. Your old
appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important:
deliver the appliance to the local agency authorized for the
collection of outdated household appliances. Correct disposal
enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
•Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may damage the
environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the
refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the
competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance.
Before disposing your appliance, it is important to remove the
doors and shelves, to ensure that children cannot accidentally
become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along

Information for Users
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and
2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the hazardous
substances usage in electrical and electronic appliances,
as well as to the disposal of waste, the crossed out bin
symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the
end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other waste.
Therefore, the user must consign the non-functional product to the
appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic
refuse or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent
product, on a one on one basis. Adequate separate collection for
recycling, cleaning and environmentally sound disposal of retired
products contributes to the prevention of potential negative effects on
the environment and health and promotes the reuse of the materials that
make up the appliance. The illicit disposal of the product by the user
results in the administrative sanctions.

INSTALLATION

10
Electrical Connection
Make sure the voltage and the cross-section of the power supply line
match the specifications on the identification plate at the backside of
the oven.
Do not remove this plate for any reason.
If the appliance is connected to the power supply network
through a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out
device on the power supply line, in compliance with
installation regulations, near the appliance and in an easily
reachable position.
Connection to the power supply network should be fixed
or with a plug and socket. In the latter case, the plug and
socket must be suitable for the cable and fulfill the
regulations in force. Regardless to the type of connection,
the appliance must be earthed. Before connecting, make
sure that the power supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid
usage of adapters and shunts.
NOTES!
1 - For operation on 220-240V∼: use a H05V2V2-F type
three core cable (4 x 2.5 mm2 or 5 x 2.5 mm2). The
connected end to the appliance must have an earth wire
(yellow - green) at least 20 mm longer than the others.
WARNING!
The values indicated above refer to the cross-section of
the internal conductor.

Room Ventilation
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply
in accordance with the standards in force. The room where
the appliance is installed must have enough air flow as
required for the regular combustion of gas and by the
necessary air exchange of the same room.
The air vents, protected by grills, must be suitably dimensioned in
compliance with the current regulations and positioned so that no part
of them is obstructed. The cooker must be kept adequately ventilated in
order to eliminate the heat and humidity produced by cooking: in
particular, after prolonged usage, you are recommended to open a
window or to increase the speed of any fans

14
Positioning and Levelling The Appliance
After making the electrical and gas connections, level the
appliance on the floor by utilizing its four adjustable feet.
For good cooking results, the appliance must be properly
levelled. The feet height adjustment may vary from 90 to
120 mm. These heights refer to the distance between the
highest point of the foot (fixed part) and the lowest point (movable part
which rests on the floor).

15
Description of Ceramic Burners
The appliance has 4 cooking zones of
various diameters and power levels.
Their position is clearly indicated with
circles and heat is released within the
diameters traced on the glass ceramic
surface. The 4 cooking zones are
HIGH-LIGHT zones and come on a few
seconds after activation. The heat
intensity can be adjusted using the
knobs located on the front panel from
a minimum to a maximum value.
The four indicator lights located between the cooking zones come on
when the temperature of one or more of the radiating zones exceeds
60°C. These lights switch off when the temperature falls below
approximately 60°C.
For best cooking results and energy saving,
only use cookware that is suitable for electric
burner:
•The bases of cookware must be very
thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry. The
hob must be clean and dry.
•Do not use cast iron saucepans or
saucepans with a rough base, as they
may scratch the cooking surface.
HOW TO USE
CAUTION!
When the hob is used for the first time, you are advised to heat it
to the maximum temperature long enough to burn off any oily
residues from manufacturing in order to ensure that the food does
not absorb odours.

16
•The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the
diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If it doesn’t fit,
the energy will be wasted.
CAUTION!
•Take care not to spill sugar or sugar mixtures on the hob when it
is hot.
•Do not place materials or substances that could melt on the hob
(plastic or aluminum foil).
•If melting does occur, in order to avoid compromising the
condition of the hob surface, immediately switch it off and
remove the melted material using the scraper provided, do it
while the hob is still warm.
•Failure to clean the glass ceramic hob could lead to
encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has
cooled down.
IMPORTANT!
Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual
heat indicator lights on the hob. The cooking zones remain hot for
a certain period even after they have been turned off. Make sure
that children do not touch the hob at any time.
