SAFETY WARNING

-This appliance is designed exclusively for co-
oking food, with the express exclusion of any
other domestic, commercial or industrial.
- Pay attention to cooking using grease or oil, can
ignite easily.
- Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and
lids should not be placed on the device because
it may become very hot.
- Avoid the overflow of liquids by reducing the
heat supply when boiling or warming liquids.
- Do not leave any heating element switched on,
if there are no pots, or if the pots are empty.
- Once cooking is completed, turn the concerned
heating element off, by using the control shown
below.
- This appliance is not intended for use by people
(children included) with limited physical, senso-
rial or mental abilities, or lacking of experience
and knowledge, unless they are supervised or
well instructed about the use of the appliance,
by a person who is responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to assure that
they do not play with the appliance.
- If the hob surface is cracked, turn the
appliance off and disconnect it from the
electric network , so as to avoid the pos-
sibility of electric shock.
The use of flat-bottomed pots, with a diameter equal
to or slightly bigger than the heated area, is recom-
mended. (Fig.5).
Do not use pots that have a rough base, in order to
prevent the hob thermal surface from being scra-
tched. This appliance is not intended for use by chil-
dren or infirm people without supervision.

WARNING
If the surface of the hob is cracked, turn off the
appliance and disconnect from the electrical main
in order to avoid any possible electric shocks.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These installation instructions are intended for a
specialized installer and are meant as guidelines for
the hob installation, adjustment and maintenance,
GB
h
in compliance with any regulations and standards
in force. If a built-in oven or any other appliance
generating heat is to be mounted directly under the
vitro-ceramic hob, IT IS NECESSARY THAT SUCH
AN APPLIANCE (the oven) AND THE VITRO-CE-
RAMIC HOB ARE PROPERLY INSULATED. Failure
to comply with this precaution might result in the in-
correct operation of the TOUCH CONTROL system.
• Positioning:
This household appliance has been designed for built
–in installation onto a worktop, as shown in the figure
(Fig.2). Use sealing material along the whole perime-
ter - Fig.4 (Cut dimensions- Fig.2). This operation is
necessary in order to prevent any liquid from entering
inside the hob, being that the flatness of the top, the
glass and their coupling cannot be assured. Fix the
appliance on the worktop by using the 4 supports,
taking the work top thickness into account (Fig.2). If,
after installation, the lower part of the appliance is
accessible from the lower part of the cabinet, it will be
necessary to mount a spacing panel at the distances
given (Fig.3). If the appliance is installed under an
oven, this step will not be necessary. The appliance
is not intended to be operated by an external timer or
a separate remote control system.
It's necassry a free space below the cassette of the
device, in order to allow proper ventilation of the ap-
pliance.
The safety distance between the unit and an optional
exhaust hood must be above that provided by the
manufacturer of the hood.
• Electric connections
Before carrying out any electric connections, please
make sure that:
- the ground electric cable is 2 cm. longer than the
other cables;
- the electrical system meets any requirement men-
tioned in the rating label found on the underside of
the work top;
- the electrical system is equipped with an efficient
grounding system and compliant with any stan-
dards and law directives in force.
The grounding system is required by law.
In the case the appliance is not equipped with a
power cord and/or the related plug, please use a ma-
terial suitable for the power absorption value mentio-
ned in the rating label and for the operating tempera-
ture. If a direct connection to the electric network is
required, you need to use an omnipolar power switch
with a switch-contact gap of at least 3 mm, suitable
for the value mentioned in the label, and compliant
with the related standards in force (the yellow/gre-
en ground connection shall not be interrupted by the
change-over switch).
Once the appliance installation is completed, the om-
nipolar switch shall be easily accessible.
The power cord, after installation of the appliance,
must not be subjected to mechanical stresses (such
