USE
WARN NGS:
when the plate is switched on for the first time, or if it has remained unused for a long period, it should
be dried for 30 minutes on switch position n° 1. This will eliminate any moisture that may have been
absorbed by the insulating material.
To correctly use the appliance, remember:
- to place a pan on the plate before switching this on.
- To always use pans with flat and very thick bottoms (see fig. 2).
- To never use pans that are smaller than the plate diameters.
- To dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the plate.
- Correctly preserve the plate after use by treating it with special products, easily available on the
market. This will keep the surface of the plate clean and bright. The operation will also prevent
the formation of rust. Never allow children to play near the appliance when using the plates.
Check that the pan handles are positioned correctly. The user should never leave the appliance
unattended when cooking with easily inflammable oil and fat.
- The plates will remain hot for a long period of time even after use. Never touch them with the

- f the appliance has a glass lid, this could shatter when the cooker becomes hot. Always
disconnect all the plates before closing the lid.
- mmediately disconnect the appliance from the electricity main as soon as cracks are noted on
the surfaces of the plates.
- Containers wider than the unit are not recommended.
FIG. 2
n order to cook with the heating element
efficiently using the least amount of energy,
use: thick, flat-bottomed pots of a width
suited to that of the heating element (see
picture). Cook with the lid on to also save
energy. Turn down the heating element
when it reaches boiling point.

I STALLATIO
nstallation and maintenance must only be
carried out by a qualified installer.
The appliance must be correctly installed in
conformity with current law and the
manufacturer's instructions.
ncorrect installation could cause damage to
persons, animals and property for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
4) I STALLI G THE HOT PLATE
Check that the appliance is in a good condition
after having removed the outer packaging and
internal wrappings from around the various loose
parts. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance
and contact qualified personnel.
Never leave the packaging materials
(cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.)
within children's reach since they could
become potential sources of danger.
The measurements of the opening made in the top
of the modular cabinet and into which the hot plate
will be installed are indicated in either fig. 3, comply
with the measurements given for the hole into which
the appliance will be recessed (see fig. 4).
If a wood is installed above the hob, please look at
the hood manufacturer instructions regarding the
minimum distance between hood and hob (fig. 4).
5) FIXI G THE HOT PLATE
The hob has a special seal which prevents liquids
from infiltrating into the cabinet. Strictly comply
with the following instructions in order to correctly
apply this seal:
- detach the seals from their backing, checking
that the transparent protection still adheres to the
seal itself.
- Overturn the hob and correctly position seal “E”
(fig. 5) under the edge of the hob itself, so that
the outer part of the seal itself perfectly matches
the outer perimetral edge of the hob. The ends of
the strips must fit together without overlapping.
- Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hob,
pressing it in place with the fingers and remove
the strip of protective paper from the seal and set
the plate into the hole made in the cabinet.
- Fix the hotplate to the worktop with the brackets
“S”. Ensure the tag fits into the hole “H” on the
hotplate base, then tighten the screw “F” until it is
locked to the worktop (fig. 6).
- Since the casing of the hob may overheat due to a
prolonged use, it is necessary to insert a
separation plane wood, blocked by screws, which
must be installed under the cooktop at a minimum
distance of 70 mm from the top, as shown in fig.3.
WARN NGS:
be aware that the glue that join the laminated
plastic to the furniture, has to resist to
temperature not below 150 °C, to avoid the
unstuck of the panelling.
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding
surfaces must therefore be able to withstand
an temperature of 90 °C.

6) ELECTRICAL CO ECTIO S
Electrical connection must be carried out in
compliance with the specifications and
provisions in force.
Before proceeding with the connections, check
that:
- the voltage rating of the appliance and the
current sockets suits the maximum power draw
of the appliance (see data label affixed to the
lower part of the appliance itself).
- The system is equipped with an efficient earth
connection in compliance with the pertinent
provisions in force. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility for failure to comply with these
provisions.
- If the appliance has no power cable, connect a
cable of adeguate section to the terminal strip
(consult the table on next page) complying with
the wiring diagram of fig. 7. This diagram is also
affixed to the hot plate.
When connection to the electricity main is
made by using a socket (gas version only):
- fit a standard plug to power cable (if supplyied).
This plug should be able to bear the load
indicated on the data label. Connect the wires
according to the diagram in fig. 7, remembering
to comply with the following instructions:
letter L (live) = brown wire;
letter N (neutral) = blue wire;
earth symbol = green - yellow wire.
- The powering cable must be positioned so that it
is never able to reach an temperature
of 90 °C in any part.
- Never use reductions, adapters or shunts for the
connection since these could cause false
contacts and dangerous overheating.
- The outlet must be accessible after the built-in.
When the appliance is connected straight to
the electricity main:
- install an omnipolar cutout between the
appliance itself and the main. This circuit-breaker
should be sized according to the rating of the
appliance and the opening between its contacts
should be at least 3 mm.
- Remember that the earth wire must not be cutout
by the switch.
- The electrical connection may also be protected
by a high sensitivity differential switch.
Installers are strongly advised to connect the
yellow-green earthing wire to an efficient earthing
system.
The manufacturer cannot be responsible for the
missing earthing of the appliance.
Before performing any service on the electrical
part of the appliance, it must absolutely be
disconnected from the electrical network.
