Power voltage Danger of electrocution
· Disconnect the mains power supply.
· Unplug the appliance.
To dispose of the appliance: · Cut the power cable and remove it. · Deliver the appliance to the appropriate
recycling centre for electrical and electronic
91477A577/B

equipment waste, or return it to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Our appliances are packaged in non-polluting and recyclable materials. · Deliver the packing materials to the appropriate recycling centre.
Plastic packaging Danger of suffocation
· Do not leave the packaging or any part of it unattended.
· Do not let children play with the plastic bags.
To save energy
· The diameter of the base of the pan must not extend beyond the lines printed on the glass ceramic surface.
· Pans must not be placed outside the perimeter of the hob or on the display.
· When buying a pan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the pan, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
· When preparing dishes with long cooking

times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also helps to retain vitamins contained in the food. · Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone. · If possible, always cover pans with a suitable lid. · Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
Under certain circumstances, if the hob and the oven are used at the same time, the maximum power limit of the electrical system might be exceeded.

Advice on energy-saving The diameter of the base of the pan

91477A577/B

must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
· When buying a pot, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top, as the top is almost always larger than the base. · The base of the cookware must be thick and completely flat. In addition, the hob should be clean and dry as well. · When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food. · Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone. · If possible, always cover the pans with a suitable lid. · Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. · Do not use cast-iron cookware or cookware with a rough base.
If hob and oven are being used at the same time, under certain conditions the maximum power limit that can be used by your electrical system might be exceeded.
Error warnings In the event of a malfunction or abnormal operation, the display shows a message
USE – 33

containing the code associated with the error.
Error codes always begin with the letter “F” followed by a digit or letter (e.g. “Ft or F4”).
Errors coded as: · “Fc” · “Ft” · “FE”
Indicate an overheating of the appliance or part of it, so the appliance must be switched off

immediately, all pans removed and allowed to cool down. If these errors persist or different ones are displayed, the code should be noted and the Technical Support should be contacted.
Residual heat indicators are not to be considered as error codes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
See General safety instructions.
Cleaning the surfaces To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning Always and only use specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Weekly cleaning Clean and maintain the hob once a week using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The silicon in these products creates a protective, water-repellent membrane which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane and can therefore be removed easily. After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking surface as it might undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the cooking surface.
Food stains or residues Light coloured marks from pans with aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off with a cloth moistened in vinegar. Remove any burnt-on residues after cooking; then rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Dirt, which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes, can scratch the hob when moving pans. Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately. Changes in colour do not affect the operation and
34 – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

stability of the glass. These are not alterations to the material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to remove using conventional cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Use of corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan bases can wear away the decoration on the hob over time and contribute to the formation of stains.
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.
After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly to prevent any water or detergent from interfering with its operation or creating unsightly marks.
What to do if…
The hob does not work: · Make sure that the hob is connected and
that the main switch is turned on. · Make sure that there is no power failure. · Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In
this case replace the fuse. · Make sure that the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system has not tripped. In this case, reset the circuit breaker.
The cooking results are unsatisfactory: · Make sure that the cooking temperature is
not too high or too low. · Make sure that the hob has proper
ventilation and that the air intakes are completely free.
The hob smokes:
91477A577/B

· Let the hob cool down and clean it once cooking is complete.
· Make sure that the food has not spilled out of the pan and use a larger cooking vessel, if needed.
The fuses blow or the circuit breaker of the

residential electrical system trips repeatedly. · Call Technical Support or an electrician.
There are cracks or fissures in the hob: · Turn off the appliance immediately,
disconnect the power supply and contact Technical Support.

INSTALLATION
Electrical connection
See General safety instructions.
General information Check the mains characteristics against the data indicated on the plate. The identification plate bearing the technical data, serial number and brand name is visibly positioned on the appliance. Do not remove this plate for any reason. The appliance must be connected to ground using a wire that is at least 20 mm longer than the other wires.
The appliance can work in the following modes:
220-240 V 1N~ 3 x 6 mm ² three-core cable

Terminal block connection
Arrange the cables in an orderly manner to avoid overlapping or contact with any jumpers. The cables must be of the correct length to avoid build-up/twisting inside the terminal box.

220-240 V 2~ 3 x 6 mm ² three-core cable

220-240 V 3~ 4 x 4 mm ² four-core cable

380-415 V 2N~ 4 x 4 mm ² four-core cable

380-415 V 3N~ 5 x 1.5 mm ² five-core cable

4-zone models only

INSTALLATION – 35

380-415 V 3N~ 5 x 2.5 mm ² five-core cable

5-zone models only

The values indicated refer to the crosssection of the internal lead.
The power cables are sized taking into account the coincidence factor (in compliance with standard EN 603352-6).
Always use the supplied jumper for each connection, if any. The connection between terminals 4 and 5 must always be made.
Fixed connection Fit the power line with an all-pole circuit breaker with a contact separation distance sufficient to provide complete disconnection in category III overvoltage conditions, pursuant to installation regulations.
For the Australian/New Zealand market: The circuit breaker incorporated in the fixed connection must comply with AS/NZS 3000.
Power limitation procedure
· This procedure is restricted to the installer.

In the case of flush mounting, after placing the adhesive seal (A) on the glass surface and after positioning and securing the hob, fill the edges with insulating silicone (B) and wipe off any excess. If for any reason the hob needs to be removed, cut the silicone using a cutter before attempting to remove it (C).
