prevents them from overheating, even if a hotplate is operated at
the highest setting with no pan, or if pans with uneven bottoms
are used.
The table below will serve as a guide, bearing in mind that cook-
ing times and temperatures may vary depending on the type and
amount of foods cooked and personal taste.

CAUTION
-
Do not look directly at the halogen hotplates while they are on, as
the light emitted from the hotplates may be harmful to your eyes.
- The ceramic glass surface is very tough but it is not shatterproof
and it may not be used to place objects upon it.
- It may be damaged if struck violently by sharp or very hard objects.
- If breakages, crazing or cracks appear on its surface, stop using
it and contact the after-sales service immediately.
- Do not place aluminium foil or plastic film wrappings on the hob
while it is still hot.
- Soon after installation, the hob may give off a burnt smell; this will
disappear after the first few times it is used.
IMPORTANT:
Because of their height, children may fail to see the residual heat
warning light. Take care that they do not touch the hob, even if the
heating elements are switched off.
CLEANING OF THE CERAMIC HOB
The ceramic hob is much easier to clean than a hob with conven-
tional hotplates. Light dirt can be removed with a sheet of damp
kitchen paper. To remove tougher dirt, use the same cleaning
methods as for glass, with specific detergents. If a pan boils over

onto the hob, use a spatula to remove the deposit formed. Sugar or
syrup must be removed immediately before it forms caramel on the
glass. Any residues of aluminium foil or plastic film wrappings ac-
cidentally placed on the hob while it is still hot must also be removed
at once. Water marks and traces of scale can be removed with white
wine vinegar. Always remember to rinse and dry the surface with
kitchen paper after use. Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents,
such as oven sprays, degreasers, rust-removers, powder polishing
detergents or abrasive sponges. Do not allow grains of sand to be
left on the hob when cleaning vegetables, for example, as they may
scratch the surface. Do not slide pans with rough bottoms over the
hob; they may mark or even scratch the glass.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A number of fundamental precautions must be complied with when
using household electrical appliances. In particular:
- The ceramic-glass hob has good mechanical strength and thus
withstands small accidental knocks. If the knob is broken or
cracked by a knock, do not use the appliance, disconnect the
power supply and contact your dealer.
- WARNING: If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch the ap-
pliance off to avoid the risk of electric shocks.
Advice in case of malfunctions
Before contacting your After-Sales Service, check that:
- the plug is fitted properly into the mains socket;
- the master pilot is on.
If the problem persists, consult a qualified, authorised technician
capable of repairing the fault.
If the oven light does not work, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the power supply. Remove the protective glass on
the back of the oven and replace the bulb.
No liability is accepted for injury or damage caused by poor instal-
lation or improper use of the cooker.
In case of malfunctions, particularly gas leaks or short-circuits,
contact your engineer without delay.
