General Use.
Directions and suggestions for using:
1. Do not touch the built-in ceramic hob with wet hands or feet.
2. Do not operate the built-in electric hob when you are bare footed.
3. Do not let young children operate the built-in ceramic hob.
4. Please disconnect the power supply before you do any maintenance and cleaning.
5. When the built-in ceramic hob is working, the temperature of the electric hob and the ambience
become higher, so please do not touch it and keep the children away from it.
6. A steam cleaner must not be used for cleaning the appliance.
7. The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
8. The built-in ceramic hob must be built into a heat resistant cabinet. Some smoking may occur when
first used. Leave on for a short period to burn off excess sealant.
Operation of the top with the heating area.
The ceramic tops can either be standard, or rapid type. This last feature a red mark at their centre.
An appropriately selected pan saves energy. A pan should have a thick, flat base with a diameter equal
to the plate diameter as in that case heat is transferred most efficiently.
Advice on the use of cooking tops. To save energy and to have a longer life of the ceramic tops, we
advise using pans with flat bottom and with a diameter not less than the diameter of the tops. Care must
be taken that fluids do not spill on the ceramic plates. Never leave the tops on without pans on them or
with empty pans, and never use the tops to heat the plates. Switch on the plates after having set the
pans on them. Once switched off, the plates remain warm for a while, do not touch. Switch off the
heating element before removing the pans.
According to your needs, the tops can be adjusted by turning the knobs either clockwise or
anti-clockwise on 9 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 is a signal that the electric plates are switched on. The level of heat can be adjusted
gradually by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left. Switching on the plate results in an orange
signal light on the control panel turning on.

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.
Use
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 hotplate.

Cleaning:
Turn off the mains to the equipment before carrying out any maintenance and wait for it cool down. We
advise using lukewarm water and detergents to clean enamelled elements. Never use abrasive products.
Rinse the glass worktop with water 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 tough stains using
non-abrasive detergents, or warm vinegar.
Clean the electric tops using a moist cloth, then lightly oil the top when it is still warm.
Only licensed repairers should service the appliance.
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.

When the appliance is to be installed above a built-in oven, the two appliances must be connected separately.
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 breaker can be reached easily when the appliance is installed.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR INSTALLATION PERSONNEL:
This appliance must be installed only by authorised personnel and in accordance with the regulations of Electricity

The wall and bench surfaces must be capable of sustaining temperatures of 95 degrees Celsius.
All laminates, fixing adhesive and surfacing materials should be certified suitable for this temperature.
Do not install the hob in a non-fire resistant place. Please check with customer services if you would like to check what
we class as an unsafe environment.
According to the picture as follows, cut the square hole in bench and place the built-in electric hob in it.
Your hob can be fitted to any worktop with a thickness of 40 to 50 mm.
Inserting and fixing the hob

Before inserting the hob into the work surface, place the adhesive seal
“s” around the underside edge for the hob. It is important to fix this
gasket evenly, without gaps or overlapping to prevent liquids from
seeping underneath the hob.
1.Place the gasket around the bottom edge of the hobs as shown in
the illustration on the next page.
2. Place the hob in the installation opening and push it down so that
the hob is resting firmly on the cabinet.
3. Secure the hob in position using the fixing brackets supplied.
Secure the hob to the underside of the worktop using the fixings provided. Screw one end of the bracket
into the pre-drilled holes in the underside of the hob. The other end of the bracket should be located
underneath the worktop to secure the hob in position.
Note 1:
The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light pelmets) is 450mm, unless they are
manufactured from a material resistant to fire (steel, ceramic tiles for example).
Note 2:
No overhanging surface or range hood and exhaust system are not permitted within 750mm 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.
The hob has a special seal which prevents liquid from entering the cabinet. Follow these instructions in
order to correctly apply this.
Seal:
Detach the seals from their backing that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Turn
over the hob and correctly position seal under the edge of the hob itself, so that the outer part of the
seal itself perfectly matches the outer edge of the hob. Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hob,
pressing it firmly in place.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-Do not use cleaning products containing abrasive materials for the cleaning and maintenance of the
glass front panel.
-When cleaning do not use cleaning agents with a strong abrasive effect, such as e.g. scouring
powders containing an abrasive, abrasive compounds, abrasive stones, pumice stones, wire brushes
and so on. They may scratch the hob surface, causing irreversible
damage.
-Large spillages that are firmly stuck to the hob can be removed by a special scraper (not include); but
be careful not to damage the ceramic hob frame when doing this.
Caution!
The sharp blade should always be protected by adjusting the cover (just push it with you thumb). Injuries
are possible so be careful when using this instrument-keep out of reach of children.
Appropriate light cleaning or washing products are recommended, such as e.g. any kind of liquids
emulsions for fat removal. Alternatively a solution of warm water with a little washing up liquid or
cleaning products for stainless steel sinks can be used.
