the home.

2 Before using the appliance, carefully read the instructions

contained in this manual, as they provide important

information for ensuring safe installation, use and

maintenance. Keep this manual as a reference guide.

3 Remove the packing and make sure the appliance hasn’t been

damaged during transport. If you have any doubts, don’t use

the appliance. Call a qualified technician for assistance. For

safety, keep packing materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam,

tacks, etc.) away from children.

4 The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. No liability for

injury or damage to persons, animals or property will be accepted

by the manufacturer arising from failure to follow these

instructions.

5 The electrical safety of this appliance is ensured only if it is

correctly connected to an efficiently earthed system in

accordance with electrical safety regulations. Make sure this

basic safety requirement has been complied with. If in doubt,

have it checked by a qualified technician. No liability for damage

will be accepted by the manufacturer because of defective

earthing.

6 Before connecting the appliance, make sure the specifications

on the rating plate correspond with those of your power supply.

7 Check that your supply and sockets are sufficient for the total

load taken by your appliance which is stated on the rating plate.

If you have any doubts, contact a qualified technician for service.

8 A multipole circuit breaker with a space between contacts of 3

mm or more must be fitted for installation

9 If the socket and cooker plug are not compatible, have the socket

replaced with a suitable model by a qualified technician who

should also check that the cross-section of the socket cable is

suited to the power absorbed by the appliance. The use of

adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extensions, is not

recommended. If their use can not be avoided, remember to

use only single or multiple adapters and extensions which comply

with current safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed

the maximum current capacity indicated on the single adaptor

or extension and the maximum power indicated on the multiple

adapter.

10 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not necessary.

Switch off the main switch and gas cock when you are not using

the cooker.

11 The openings and slots used for ventilation and dispersion

of heat must never be closed or plugged.

12 The user must not replace the supply cable of this appliance.

Always call an after-sales servicing centre authorised by the

manufacturer in the case of cable damage or replacement.

13 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was

expressly designed.

Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) is considered to be improper

and consequently dangerous.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting

from improper and irresponsible use.

14 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using

electrical appliances. The following are of particular importance:

·

do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet

·

do not use the appliance barefooted

·

do not use extensions, but if these are necessary caution

must be exercised.

·

never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to unplug

the appliance plug from the mains.

·

never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents

(rain, sun etc.)

·

do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with

the appliance to use it, without supervision.

15 Always unplug the hob from the mains or switch off the main

switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations.

16 If the surface of the glass breaks, disconnect the appliance

immediately. For repairs call only an authorised after-sales

servicing centre and request the use of original spare parts

only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the

safety of the appliance.

17 If you are no longer using the appliance, remember to make it

unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from the mains and

cutting the supply cable. Also make all potentially dangerous

parts of the appliance, safe, above all for children who could

play with the appliance.

18 The vitreous china hob is resistant to temperature fluctuations

and shockproof. Remember however that sharp kitchen tools

or cutters may break the surface of the hob. If this happens,

unplug the cooker immediately from the mains and call your

local servicing centre.

19 Remember that the cooking surface remains hot for at least

half an hour after you switch off the surface. Do not place

containers or other objects on the hot surface.

20 Avoid setting anything on the glass surface of the cooktop.

21 Do not turn on the cooking surfaces if there are sheets of

aluminium foil or plastic on the hob.

22 Keep away from the hot surfaces.

23 When using small electrical household appliances close to the

hob, ensure that the power cable does not rest on the hot

surfaces

24 Keep pot handles turned inwards to avoid knocking the pot off

the hob.

25 When you turn on the cooking surface always place a pot on

the surface immediately as it will otherwise overheat very quickly

and possibly damage the heating elements.

26 Preliminary instructions. The glass sealant utilised may leave

traces of grease on the glass. Remember to wipe these away

with a normal non abrasive detergent before you turn on the

appliance. During the first few hours of use there may be a

smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

27 When the appliance is in use, the heating elements and

some parts of the oven door become extremely hot. Make

sure you don't touch them and keep children well away.

28 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”o” position when the appli-

ance is not in use.

29 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary

precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the pedestal

itself.

To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:

•

call only the Service Centers authorized by the manufacturer
