Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check
whether the diameter indicated is that of
the base or the top of the container, as
the top is almost always larger than the
base.
• The base of the cookware must be thick
and completely flat. It should also be
clean and dry. The hob should be clean
and dry as well.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also makes it possible to preserve
the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with
a suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
• Do not use cast-iron cookware or
cookware with a rough base.
Under certain circumstances, if the
hob and the oven are being used
at the same time, the maximum
power limit that can be used by the
electrical system might be
exceeded.

Limiting the cooking time
The hob has an automatic device which
limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not
changed, the maximum duration of
operation for each zone depends on the
power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of
use is activated, the cooking zone turns off,
a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot,
the symbol appears on the display.
Protection from overheating
If you are using the hob at full power for a
long time, for the electronics it could be
difficult to cool down, especially if the room
temperature is high.
In this case a device intervenes to cut off the
power supply to the front cooking zones
and the display shows and
flashing.
If the temperature of the electronic circuit
board does not decrease, the device will
disconnect power to all the cooking zones
and will appear on the
display (on some models only).
Cooking can be resumed once the
temperature returns below alarm levels.
Other functions
If you press three or more controls at the
same time or for a long period, (e.g. due to
accidentally placing a saucepan on them
or due to an overflow of liquid), an
automatic device deactivates all the
cooking zones if they are on and the
display will show error .

4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
4.2 Ordinary weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass cleaning product.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The silicon in these products
creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks
stay on the membrane and can therefore be
removed easily. After cleaning, dry the
surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that
there is no detergent left on the cooking
surface as it will undergo a corrosive
reaction when heated up and could modify
the structure of the cooking surface.
4.3 Food stains or residues
Light coloured marks from pans with
aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off
with a cloth moistened in vinegar.
Remove any burnt-on residue after cooking;
rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a
clean cloth.
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour do not affect the
operation and stability of the glass. These
are not alterations to the material of the hob
but just residues which have not been
removed and have then carbonised.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob during cooking.
• Do not place materials or substances
that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil).
• Keep sensor keys clean at all times and
do not rest any object on them.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel-
or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts. Use wooden or plastic
utensils.
Cleaning and maintenance
60
Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases
of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing
on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the
cleaning process several times. Use of
corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan
bases can wear away the decoration on
the hob over time and contribute to the
formation of stains.
4.4 What to do if...
The hob does not work:
• Make sure that the hob is connected and
that the main switch is turned on.
• Make sure that there is no power failure.
• Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In
this case replace the fuse.
• Make sure that the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system has not
tripped. In this case, reset the circuit
breaker.
• Make sure that the sensor key are not
locked by the Controls lock.
• Make sure that the keys are not partially
covered by a damp cloth, a liquid or a
metal object.
The cooking results are unsatisfactory:
• Make sure that the cooking temperature
is not too high or too low.
The hob smokes:
• Let the hob cool down and clean it once
cooking is complete.
• Make sure that the food has not spilled
out of the pan and use a larger cooking
vessel, if needed.
The display shows “E2”:
• Make sure that there is no spilled food
on the sensor keys.
• Remove any pan or object that are
partially resting on the sensor keys.
“E” appears on the display:
• One of the keys has been kept pressed
for a long time or a technical fault has
occurred. In the latter case, contact
Technical Support.
The fuses blow or the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system trips repeatedly.
• Call Technical Support or an electrician.
There are cracks or fissures in the hob:
• Turn off the appliance immediately,
disconnect the power supply and
contact Technical Support.

Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on
adjacent furniture should be temperature-
resistant (>90°C), otherwise they might
warp over time.
The minimum clearance between a
ventilation hood and the cooking surface
must be at least the distance indicated in the
ventilation hood installation instructions.
The minimum clearances must also be
respected for the edges of the hob on the
back as indicated in the mounting
illustrations.

Hobs with a straight edge
For this kind of hobs additional milling is
needed in the recessed hole if you wish to
install the hob flush with the work surface.
After laying the adhesive seal (A) on the
glass surface and after positioning and
securing the hob, fill the edges with
insulating silicone (B) and wipe away any
excess.
In the event the hob needs to be removed,
cut the silicone using a cutter before
attempting to remove it (C).

5.3 Mounting
Over built-in oven unit
The clearance between the hob and the
kitchen furniture or other installed
appliances must be enough to ensure
sufficient ventilation and air discharge.
If installed above an oven, a space must be
left between the bottom of the hob and the
top of the appliance installed below.
On top of an empty kitchen unit or
drawers
If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral
walls, drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges
under the hob, a double-layer wooden
base must be installed at least 20 mm from
the bottom of the hob to avoid any
accidental contact. It must only be possible
to remove the double-layer base by using
suitable tools.
