The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction,
from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a
few centimeters from the cooking plate.
The cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
Important note:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF
during all settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter
to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a
fault with the appliance.
HI-LIGHT RADIANT ZONES (g. 2.1)
The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working
temperature quickly.
These zones are controlled by a continuous
energy regulator switch (gs. 2.2a - 2.2b).
The heat intensity can be regulated
continuously from “0” to “12” (max).
Check that the hob is clean and then switch
on by turning the control knob.
When the hob is working, the pilot light will
be on.

temperature quickly.
These zones are controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (gs. 2.4a - 2.4b).
The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from “0” to “12” (max).
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob.
When the hob is working, the pilot light will be on.
By switching on the second element (g. 2.3), the surface area of the double hilight zones
can be extended.
For this purpose, turn the control knob (gs. 2.4a - 2.4b) fully to the right (position ).

Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans or
containers.
WARNING: Hobs become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long time
after cooking has nished (about 30 minutes).
Children should be supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the hot
surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
The hob also features 4 or 5 warning lamps which are
wired to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C,
the relevant warning lamp is also litup to warn of heat
on the surface of the hob.
These lamps also stay on after the cooking plates
have been switched o to shown that the hob surface
is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the
cooking plate has been switched o.
During this time you should avoid touching
the hob surface over the cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure that
children are not allowed near the hob.
The lamps will switch o automatically as soon as the
surface temperature of the cooking zone falls below
60°C.
COOKING HINTS
• To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch
the plate on. After a short time you will set the control knob to the required position for
the cooking.
• You should use pots and pans with at bases (pans with the test mark for glassceramic
hobs are available from specialist shops).
• The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger)
to make the most of the energy.
• Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched
o, you can switch it o 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
• To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.

SAFETY HINTS
• Before you switch the hob on, make
sure you know which knob controls the
required cooking zone. We advise you
to set the pan over the cooking zone
before switching it on.
• Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware
made of cast-iron). Rough bases can
damage the glass surface of the hob
(scratches).
• Always ensure that the base of your
saucepan is clean and dry before
placing on the hob.
• Pots with aluminium bottoms may
leave silver streaks or spots on the
hob.
• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
• The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully eliminate any
food remains (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a
cleansing agent.
• Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there
is a great danger of knocking the pan
over. This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
• Do not use the hob if the glass
surface is broken or cracked in any
way. Please disconnect the hob
from the mains and contact the
After-Sales Service.
• Do not lean over the cooking plate
when in use.
• Do not lay cooking foil or plastic
materials on the ceramic surface when
it is hot.
• Remember that the surface remains
hot for a long time (about 30 min.) after
the cooking plate has been switched
o.
• Follow the cleaning instructions
carefully.
• Never use the glass surface for storage.

• Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
• Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus
make it unsafe.
• Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when
handling or cleaning of this appliance.
• Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.
• Important: The manufacturer declines all liability for possible damage caused by
the use of unsuitable products to clean the appliance.
• Clean surfaces with a damp cloth and use gentle, neutral cleaning products. Dry with
a clean, dry cloth.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use any abrasive products (e.g. certain types of sponge) and/
or aggressive products (e.g. caustic soda, products containing corrosive substances),
which could cause irreparable surface damage.
WARNING!
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the
underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched
and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
• Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
• Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
• If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or
scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
• All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
• Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as
possible.
• If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly dicult to remove.
This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently pit
the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
• If any of these products has melted on
the ceramic surface, you should remove
it immediately (when the surface is still
hot) by using a proper scraper to avoid
any permanent damage to the surface
of the hob.
• Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
• Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil
as these may damage the ceramic
surface.
• Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
