Operation
Before the first use
Before using the hob for the first time, switch it on for
about 10 minutes at the highest position.
When using the hob for the first time, unpleasant smells,
or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is
absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of
greasy working residues and of hte dope used during
the installation. hese smells will vanish after some time
of working.

he plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:

In the intermediate positions, 2-3-4-5, increasing power

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care
must be taken as these can self-ignite when
over-heated.

advise you to initially regulate the switch to

then turn the switch to the position most suitable
for the food to be cooked.

ractical hints
- When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a
thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure total
contact with the plate and, consequently, perfect
conduction (Fig. 1).
- Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these
loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner
two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the
even distribution of heat and the saving of energy.
Cooking time is also lengthier. We therefore
recommend that you acquire a battery of kitchenware
specifically for use with electric plates. Furthermore,
these particular saucepans are easy to use and clean.
- Recipients in heat-resistent glass (pyrex) or in oven-
proof pottery can be placed directly on the plates if
their instructions for use are followed.
- As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,
the plate and the saucepan should have the same
diameter. he diameter of the saucepan may be
slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.
- Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch
off the plate just before the end of cooking time. he
heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the
food and save energy.
Hints and tips
ig. 1
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance.
- o ensure the long-life of the hob, we advise you to
clean it regularly. Naturally, before cleaning the plates,
allow them to cool.
- Do not acquire the bad habit of wiping over the plates
with a damp cloth whilst they are still hot. Although
they will stand up to such teatment, fragments of the
cloth could remain. he plates and their bases can,
however, be cleaned occasionally using fine
sandpaper.
- he base of the plates in special steel will stay
impeccable if cleaned with hot water and vinigar. We
advise you to grease the surface of the plates from
time to time with a non-acid fat (cooking oil, sewing
machine oil or vaseline). Products for care and
maintenance are available commercially.
Cleaning and maintenance
- Clean the control panel with a damp cloth, do not
use abrasive products. he knobs can be removed
by lifting to facilitate cleaning.
- he enamelled part of the hob can be cleaned with
warm water and detergent.
- Although the enamel will tollerate acids, we advise
you to quickly remove splashes of vinigar, lemon and
all acid substances.
- Also immediately remove all residue of fat or other
to avoid any incrustation. If incrustations have formed
leave the crust immersed in hot water. Never use
metal brushes, knives or similar objects which could
scratch the enamel. Avoid using acid detergents.
Clean steel hobs with specific detergents.

Kitchen unit with door
Proper arrangements must be taken in
designing the forniture unit, in order to avoid
any contact with the bottom of the hob which
can be heated when it is operated. he
recommended solution is shown in Fig. 4.
he panel fitted under the hob should be
easily removable to allow an easy access if
a technical assistance intervention is
needed.
Kitchen unit with oven
he hob recess dimensions must comply
the indication given in Figs. 5 and 6 and
must be provided with brackets to allow a
continuous supply of air.
o avoid overhating, the building in should
be carried out as shown in Figs. 7 e 8.
he hob's electric connection and the oven's
one must be carried out separately, both for
safety reasons and to allow the oven to be
easily taken off the unit.
In case a hood with lenght of 600 mm. is
fitted over the hob, the hanging furniture
units beside the hood must be placed at 550
mm. minimum from the hob, to allow the
fitting and the correct use of the lid, if
required (fig. 9).
Possibilities for insertion

Fig. 10 FO 0488
Electrical connection to the
terminal board
The appliance is fitted with a five pole terminal box
whose cables are predisposed for a 230 V monophase
function (Fig. 10 .
In case of a different voltage, carry out the connection
as shown in Fig. 11.
The earth wire should be connected to the terminal
marked by the sign After having connected the
wire to the terminal secure it with a cable clip.
The connection must be carried out in conformity with
the regulations and dispositions of the laws in force.
Before connecting ensure that:
lthe limiter valve and the electrical mains can
support the voltage of the appliance (see label .
lthe power supply is correctly earthed according to
regulations in force.
lthe omnipolar interrupter used can be easily
reached once the appliance has been installed.
The appliance is not supplied with a cable suitable for
the existing power suply. Use a cable Type HO5RR-F
/ H05V2V2 (T90 with sections suitable for the charge
of a normalized plug.
The cable must be fitted with three conductors. The
earth wire is coloured yellow/green. If a direct
connection to the mains is required an omnipolar
interrupter with a minimum opening of 3 mm between
contacts should be interposed between the appliance
and the supply. The yellow/green earth wire must not
be interrupted by the interrupter. The supply cable
must be positioned in such a way that it will at no point
reach a temperature 50° C above that of room tem-
perature. After connection try out the heating elements
by allowing them to function for about three minutes.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the
accident prevention regulations are not respected.
