GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides im-
portant instructions regarding safety of installation, use and
maintenance. Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation.
All the operations relating to installation (electrical connections)
must be carried out by specialised personnel in conformity with
the regulations in force.
SAFETY WARNINGS
It is recommended to use flat-bottom pans with a diameter equal
to or slightly larger than that of the heated area. Do not use
pans with a rough base to prevent scratching the heat surface
of the cooktop (Fig.2). This appliance is not suitable for use by
children or persons requiring supervision. Do not let children
play with the appliance.
IMPORTANT
- Avoid spilling liquid, therefore to boil or heat liquids, reduce
the heat.
- Do not leave the heating elements on with empty pots and
pans or without receptacles.
- When you have finished cooking, switch off the relevant
heating element with the control indicated below.
ATTENTION: Steam cleaners must not be used.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appli-
ance to prevent electric shock.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions address specialised installers and serve as
a guide for installation, adjustment and maintenance in con-
formity with the laws and regulations in force.
If a built-in oven or any other appliance that generates heat
must be fitted directly under the glass-ceramic cooktop, THIS
APPLIANCE (oven) AND THE GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP
MUST BE SUITABLY INSULATED in such a way that the heat
generated by the oven, measured on the bottom right of the
cooktop, does not exceed 60°C. Failure to respect this pre-
caution may determine improper functioning of the
TOUCHCONTROL system.
POSITIONING (Fig.1)
The domestic appliance is designed to be built into a worktop
as illustrated in the specific figure. Apply sealant around the
entire perimeter (cut-out dimensions Fig.1B).Fix the domestic
appliance on the worktop by means of the 4 brackets provided,
taking the thickness of the worktop into account (Fig.1A). If the
lower part of the appliance, after installation, is accessible via
the lower part of the cabinet then it is necessary to mount a
separator panel respecting the distances indicated (Fig.1C). If
the appliance is installed with an oven underneath then the
separator is not necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
- the ground cable is 2 cm longer than the other cables;
- the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the identi-
fication plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop;
- the system is fitted with efficient earthing compliant to the
laws and regulations in force.
Earthing is obligatory by law. If the domestic appliance is not
fitted with a cable and/or relevant plug, use material suited to
the absorption value indicated on the identification plate and
the operating temperature. At no point must the cable reach a
temperature 50°C higher than room temperature. If wishing to
make a direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar switch
must be interposed with a minimum opening of 3 mm between
the contacts and suited to the load indicated on the plate and
conform to the regulations in force (the yellow/green ground
conductor must not be interrupted by the switch). When the
appliance has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be
easily reachable.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Remove any residues of food and drops of grease from the
cooking surface using the special scraper supplied on request
(Fig.3)
Clean the heated area as thoroughly as possible using SIDOL,
STAHLFIX or similar products and a cloth/paper, then rinse
with water and dry with a clean cloth.
Using the special scraper (optional) immediately remove any
fragments of aluminium and plastic material that have uninten-
tionally melted on the heated cooking area or residues of sugar
or food with a high sugar content (Fig.3). In this way, any dam-
age to the cooktop surface is prevented.
Under no circumstances use abrasive sponges or irritating
chemical detergents such as oven sprays or stain removers.
USE
Use the touch control system in the corresponding position
relative to the individual cooking needs. Keep in mind that the
higher the number, the more heat that it is produced.
FUNCTIONING
- On the basis of the model you own, the appliance can be
switched on by actuating the start-up sensor (Fig.4-5-6-7 A).
One zero will appear on all displays within10 seconds. If no
display is actuated within 10 seconds, the top will switch off
again.
- Press selection key F for the desired cooking area. A lumi-
nous "0" will appear on the respective display with a decimal
point to indicate which cooking area is active.
- It is possible to switch a plate on by actuating, the "+" or "-"
sensors within 10 seconds. If the D sensor is used, the display
shows selection 9, if the C sensor is used, the display shows
selection 1.
- Once this operation has been performed choose the tem-
perature adjustment with the "+" or "-" keys.
- The plate can be switched off by selecting "0" with the D
sensor, after 3 seconds the cooking area is automatically
switched off. It is always possible to switch a plate off by touch-
ing the "+" and "-" sensors at the same time.
- The cooking top can be switched off by touching the main
start-up sensor (Fig.4-5-6-7 A). If all the plates are selected on
"0" the top will switch off after 10 seconds.
-If the top is equipped with plates with an extension (fig.5- 6-7)
switching on of the second area will be carried out after having
checked that :
- the key button LED (fig.5- 6-7 B) is off, otherwise de-insert it.
- Press the key (fig.5- 6-7 A) to switch the top on.
- Choose the desired plate and adjust the power using the "+"
or "-" keys.
-Once the power has been adjusted choose the key (fig.5- 6-7
L) to activate the double area.
- To deactivate the double area check that the interested plate
has been selected (fig.5- 6-7 F) and press the key (fig.5- 6-7 L) .
Note: the Double area function is activated only on plates F1
and F2 (fig.5- 6-7 ).
- If an object is placed above the controls, the cooking top will
automatically move to the OFF position,(key switching on).
When a plate is in the OFF position and the temperature is
higher than 50° there will be a luminous signal "H" near to the
respective selection key (Fig.4- 5- 6-7 H).
- the B function blocks the functioning of the top on selection.
E.g.: if the function is activated while the top has two areas
switched on the programme remains blocked even if you try to
switch another area on. The same thing happens if the appli-
ance is switched off and the function is activated; the top doesn't
switch on. To activate or deactivate it hold a finger on the B
sensor for about two seconds. The function is active when
warning light E is switched on.
Timer (Fig.5).
- Select the plate with the relative power.
- Press the selection key again of the already-activated plate.
- Using the "+" and "-" keys set the desired time.
- The decimal point at the side of the power level will indicate
that the plate has the TIMER function activated.
- An acoustic signal will indicate switching off of the cooking
area.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSI-
BILITY FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY
BREACHING THE ABOVE WARNINGS.
