Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant
control knob anticlockwise to the required heat
setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates
We recommend the plates are switched to
maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,
and then adjusted to the required setting.
Before the First Use of the Appliance
Before using the appliance remove
all packaging, including the
advertising labels and any
protective film.
When using the hob for the first time:
1) place on all the plates a pan filled with some
water;
2) switch the plates on for about 10 minutes at
“maximum” position until water inside the
pans boils;
3) then, turn the control knob to “minumum” and
allow the plates to run for approximately 20
minutes;
4) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, the plates may smoke a
little and an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is absolutely normal and is
caused by residues of manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the
plates to cool down, then clean them with a soft
cloth soaked in warm water.

Rapid Hotplates
The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot,
and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may
deteriorate during use and even disappear
completely after a period of time. This will not
affect the performance of the hob.
It is important to note that the plate may
smokeand produceaslightly unpleasant
odour when used for the first time. This is

11
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with
steam or with a steam cleaning
machine.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm,
as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft
cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the
following products are recommended:
- For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers
Friend.
The control knobs may be removed by
carefully pulling them upward for easier cleaning.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed
using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or
plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new,
hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most
hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare
Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction for
use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of
olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is
important to note that the plate will smoke a little and
produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next
used.
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill
rings may become straw coloured with use. Use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this
straw discolouration. This also applies to the area
around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
Do not leave acid or alkaline
substances (e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon
juice, etc.) on the cooktop.
Failure to clean and condition hotplates
may lead to rust and corrosion forming on
the surface.

Electrical Connections
Any electrical work required to install this
hob should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person, in
accordance with the current regulations.
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a
230~50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity
supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the
hob rating plate. The rating plate is located on the
bottom of the hob. A copy is attached on the back
cover of this book.
Before carrying out the connection, make
sure:
1) the limiter valve and the electrical system
can take the appliance load (see the rating plate);
2) the supply system is equipped with an
efficient earth connection in compliance with the
current standards and regulations;
3) the outlet or omnipolar switch used for
connection are easily accessible with the
appliance installed.
The appliance is not equipped with a power
cable.
A cable of section adequate for the load must
be installed on the equipment. The type of cable
must have at least T90 temperature characteristics.
It is advisable to use the following types of cables
or others with similar characteristics: H05 V2V2-
F. The cable has three wires. The earth wire is
yellow/green and must be approx. 2 cm longer
than the phase and neutral wires (Fig. 3). Fit the
cable with a plug suitable for the load and connect
it to a suitable safety socket.
To connect directly to the mains, a suitable
omnipolar switch complying with current standards
and with a contact gap of at least 3 mm must be
installed between the appliance and the electrical
system.
The yellow/green earth wire must not be
interrupted by the switch. The brown phase wire
(coming from terminal "L" on the terminal block)
must always be connected to the power supply
phase.
In any case the power cable must be
positioned in such a way that no part of it reaches
a temperature of 50°C higher than the ambient
temperature. The cable is guided by means of
clamps fixed to the side of the cabinet, in order to
avoid any contact with the equipment beneath the
cooktop.
The Manufacturer declines any liability if the
accident-prevention regulations are not respected.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not
come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.
The replacement of electric cable
must be carried out exclusively by
the service force centre or by
personnel with similar
competencies, in accordance with
the current regulations.
