desired power.

Maintenance and
cleaning
• Do not use a steam cleaner.
• Clean the surface of your hob regularly once
it has cooled down. Do not use abrasive
products or sponges. Clean with a damp cloth
and soapy water (3.1.1).
• Once a week, clean thoroughly with products
specifi cally designed for vetroceramic hobs.
We recommend VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and
maintaining your vitroceramic hob.
• Stubborn stains can be removed with the
glass scraper (3.1.2).
• If you accidentally burn some sugar, sugary
elements or plastic on the hob, remove it as
soon as possible with a scraper while it is still
hot. If this is not done, you may be left with
permanent marks.
• Use the blade of the scraper in perfect
condition; replace it if is damaged.

Safety
The hob has been designed with protection of
the environment in mind.
Be environmentally aware. Use the adequate
power for each cooking operation and select the
receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are
going to prepare. The heat transmission is best
when the base of the receptacle and the diameter
of the cooking zone are the same size.
When you have fi nished cooking, if you like you
can leave the receptacle where it is to make use
of the residual heat accumulated. This will save
energy.
Use a lid whenever you can in order to reduce the
heat lost through steam.
Electrical and electronic appliance waste
management.
The symbol indicates that the appliance must
not be disposed of in traditional bins for domestic
waste.
Take your hob to a special collection centre.
The recycling of domestic appliances avoids
negative consequences to our health, the
environment and enables us to save energy and
resources.
For further information, contact your local
authority or the establishment from where you
purchased your hob. • The power circuit supplying the hob must have
an all-pole circuit breaker with at least 3mm
space between contacts.
• The hob must be installed by an authorised
installer, who shall follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and diagrams.
• The installation must be of the appropriate
size for the maximum power indicated on the
characteristics plate and the power socket with
the regulatory earth.
• If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the post-sales service or similarly qualifi ed
personnel for safety purposes.
• The element is equipped with an inner
temperature limiter which turns the element off
in the event of the hob overheating.
• After each use, switch the element off using its
control.
• If the surface of the glass is cracked or broken,
unplug the appliance immediately to avoid the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use the
hob until the glass has been replaced (4.1.1).
• Keep young children well away; the heating
surfaces can be extremely hot when in use.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
people (including children) whose physical,
sensory, or mental capacities are reduced or
