GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides impor-
tant instructions regarding safety of installation, use and mainte-
nance.
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.3).
This appliance is not suitable for use by children or persons requir-
ing 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 heat-
ing element with the control indicated below.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance
to prevent electric shock.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions address specialised installers and serve as a
guide for installation, adjustment and maintenance in conformity
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 re-
specting the distances indicated (Fig.1C). If the appliance is in-
stalled with an oven underneath then the separator is not neces-
sary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig.2)
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 identifica-
tion 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 tempera-
ture.
If wishing to make a direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar
switch must be interposed with a minimum opening of 3 mm be-
tween 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 appli-
ance has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be easily reach-
able.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Remove any residues of food and drops of grease from the cook-
ing surface using the special scraper supplied on request (Fig.4)
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 frag-
ments of aluminium and plastic material that have unintentionally
melted on the heated cooking area or residues of sugar or food
with a high sugar content (Fig.4). In this way, any damage to the
cooktop surface is prevented.
Under no circumstances use abrasive sponges or irritating chemi-
cal detergents such as oven sprays or stain removers.
USE
If your appliance is predisposed then it will be possible to optimize
energy consumption via the intelligent handling of the turning on
and off of the cooking zones (hotplates). It is possible to set the
maximum power absorption to 4 diverse levels: 2.4 KW - 3.4 KW
- 4.4 KW - Pmax. The cook top is factory set with no power
limitation (Pmax).
· Multi Level Power Control (MLP)
In the installation phase, based on the available power in use, it is
possible to set the desired maximum power level absorbed in the
following way:
- Unblock the cooking surface by keeping pressed down the “key
button” for 3 seconds until the “indicator light key” is switched
off.
- Press the button “E-plus” for 3 seconds: the watch’s display will
show the power level formulated among those available: 2.4 KW/
3.4 KW/4.4 KW and FULL.
- Press the buttons (+) or (-) to change level.
- Confirm the choice by pressing the “E-plus” key within 10 sec-
onds else it will return to the initial state.
· “E-PLUS” function
During cooking it is possible to increase the maximum absorbed
power level by passing from the formulated level to the immedi-
ately superior one by pressing the button “E-PLUS” until the rela-
tive indicator light is switched on.
When the surface is switched off it returns to the pre-formulated
level.
Warning: normally the “E-PLUS” function is to be utilised when
the maximum absorbed power from the surface is inferior to the
available power in use.
· CONTROL AREA (Fig.5)
- At the first ignition the cook top will be in the safety position, that
is the “key button warning light on/off” will be switched on.
- To use the cook top it will be necessary to keep the “key button”
depressed for 3 seconds until the “key button warning light on/
off” switches off.
To turn on the desired heating element :
- depress the corresponding on/off key. The “led” of the “Cooking
zone display” will be visualized flickering .
- depress the key within 10 seconds - to go to position 4 or the +
key to go to position 9.
- To regulate the temperature of the cooking zone use the + or -
keys.
- If the hotplate is supplied with an extensive area, to switch the
second area on bring the “Display of the cooking area” to posi-
tion 9 and press the for 2 sec: until the decimal point is
