Getting to Know Your
Cooktop
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Bellini appliance.
Before using your new cooktop, it is most
important that you read and follow the instructions
in this use and care booklet, even if you feel you
are familiar with this type of appliance.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the section
dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
Find a safe and convenient place to keep this
booklet handy for future reference.
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not
intended for industrial or commercial use.
How to Save Energy
Using energy in a responsible way not only saves
money but also helps the environment. So let's
save energy! And this is how you can do it:
• Use proper pans for cooking. Pans with thick,
flat bases can save up to 1/3 on electric
energy. Remember to cover pans if possible
otherwise you will use four times as much
energy!
• Match the size of the saucepan to the surface
of the heating plates. A saucepan should
never be smaller than a heating plate.
• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched
pot never boils!).
• Do not install the cooktop in the direct vicinity
of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.
Installation

To avoid damaging your appliance.
