BEFORE USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB
INSTALLATION
Cooktop
• The cooktop must be set into a worktop between 20 mm and 50 mm
deep
• There must be nothing between the cooktop and the oven (cross
rails, brackets, etc.).
• The distance between the lower face of the glass ceramic hob and the
cupboard or separating panel must be at least 20 mm.
• If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column unit, leave a distance
of at least 100 mm from the edge of the cooktop to the side of the
column unit.
• Make an opening in the worktop, respecting the dimensions indicated in
the enclosed product description sheet.
• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already been tted),
after having cleaned its surface.
Important
In order to prevent the electronic circuits from overheating, and therefore from
being damaged, we recommend the following:
• Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or washing machine,
so that the electronic circuits do not come into contact with steam
or moisture, which could damage them.
If an oven (from our range of ovens) is installed beneath the cooktop, make
sure that it is equipped with a cooling system.If the temperature of the
electronic circuits exceeds the maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop
will switch off automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the internal
temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable level, at which point
it will be possible to switch the hob on again.
• Switch the hob off after use.

Upon rst installation, the control panel performs a functional test for about 1 second,
after which it automatically switches to the “Key lock” function.
To deactivate the function, press and hold button “D”; an acoustic signal will sound and
the corresponding led will turn o.
NOTE: If a reset occurs, repeat the procedure described above.
To switch the hob on, keep button “A” pressed for approx. 2 seconds. The 4 cooking zone
displays show “0”. If within 20 seconds none of the cooking zones is activated, the hob switches
o automatically as a safety precaution. Press one of the buttons “B” corresponding to the cooking
zone you intend to use. Select the heat setting required with buttons “E” or “C”. The other selectable
cooking settings go from 1 to 9. Press buttons +/- at the same time to cancel all settings.
Pressing button “+” when level 9 is reached, the “Booster” function is activated and the letter “A”
appears on the display.
IMPORTANT: the control is deactivated 10 seconds after the heat setting has been selected.
To change the heat setting, rst press the selection button “B” again, then proceed to change
the setting, using buttons “E” or “C”.
MULTIPLE ZONE (if present): After selecting the desired zone and setting the level
(as described in the previous section) press “F”: an indicator above the button turns on,
activating the additional zone.
The multiple zone can only be used if:
1) The cooking zone is provided with multiple zone;
2) The power level selected is greater than 0.
To deactivate the multiple zone, press button “B” of the desired zone, then press “F” again.
To set the Timer function, select the desired cooking zone and power setting then press
the cooking zone key again and a luminous dot will appear on the display of the timer-controlled
cooking zone. The indication “00” blinks on the 2 displays. Press buttons “C” or “E” to set the time
from 1 to 99.
IMPORTANT: after 10 seconds the timer displays will show the power setting of the other cooking zones.
To view the remaining cooking time, press the timer-controlled cooking zone key twice.
The KEY LOCK function is switched on by holding down button “D” until a dot lights up above
the function button. The Key lock function locks all the hob’s other functions, with the exception of the
On/O button “A”. The function remains on even after the hob is switched o and on again and
can be deactivated by pressing button “D” again until the dot above the function button goes o.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When the cooking zone is switched o, the residual heat indicator “H” remains on or ashes
alternating with “0” until the temperature of the hob returns within safety levels.
IMPORTANT: The hob’s safety features include an automatic switching o function. Prolonged use of the same heat
setting triggers automatic switch-o of the cooking zone (for example, after around 1 hour at maximum heat setting, the
cooking zone switches o).
BE CAREFUL: To avoid permanently damaging the glass-ceramic top, do not use:
- Pots with bottoms that are not perfectly at.
- Metal pots with enamelled bottom.
Any aesthetic defects (scratches, surface marks, etc.) must be reported immediately upon installation.
