[. . . ] These wrong use may cause overheating, damages to the appliance and fire hazard. - Take all precautions possible to avoid spilling liquids onto the hotplate when it is hot. - Do not use the appliance if the surface is broken or damaged; in case you find a crack on the ) on the cooking zones (plates or glass-ceramic) - Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to fall on the glass-ceramic cook top. - Use flat bottomed pans only with a diameter large enought to cover the entire burner surface. 3), depending on whether the cooktop is fitted with a power switch or regulator, indicate the settings in progressing temperature (See Table). When the electric hotplate is in operation an indicator LED on the control panel lights up. Once reached the heating required, adjust the power intensity, bearing in mind that the hotplate will continue to emit heat for several minutes after being switched off; Depending on the food to cook, adjust the power intensity following the recommendations below: Switches figure 3/A Regulators figure 3/B For keeping food warm or reheating small amounts of liquids Reheating larger quantities, whipping creams and sauces To simmering, soups, pasta, risottos, continuation of steaming, cooking steaks and fries in general Browning meats, roast potatoes, fried fish and for bringing large quantities of water to a boil Fast frying, grilled steaks, etc. The cooktop may be equipped with a Ø145mm or a Ø180mm hotplate, conventional or rapid power. the conventional hotplate is entirely black , while the rapid hotplate has a red dot in the centre. Essentially, the rapid hotplate differs from the conventional one because it: - offers greater power; - reaches desired temperature more rapidly; Some electric plates are equipped with a safety thermostat that reduces or disconnect power supply in case of overheating of the appliance (for example, if forgiven working). 19) The glass-ceramic cooktop permits rapid vertical transmission of heat from the heating element below the cooktop to the pots or pans placed on top of it. - Position the cooktop into the worktop, taking care to ensure it is placed exactly in the centre. - Fix the cooktop to the worktop using the special brackets supplied [A], as shown in fig. Correct installation of the sealing gasket ensures complete protection against infiltration of liquids. The appliance must be installed and operated in suitable areas, and in compliance with current laws. The installation technician must observe current laws governing ventilation and removal of combustion fumes Please remind that the air required for combustion is 2m 3/h per kW of power (gas) installed. Installation area In the room where the gas appliance is installed, there must be a sufficient natural air supply to allow the gas to burn correctly (in conformity of currents laws). The natural flow of air must take place through an opening made on an outside wall of the room and having a working section of at least 100 cm 2 (A). In the case of appliances without safety valves, this opening must have a minimum working section of 200 cm 2 (fig. This opening must be made in such a way that it cannot be obstructed from inside or outside. It should be positioned near floor level, preferably on the side opposite the fume exhaust devices. If it is not possible to make the necessary openings, the air can be supplied from an adjacent, suitably ventilated room, as long as this room is not a bedroom, a dangerous area or a lowpressure area. [. . . ] - Never use abrasive or sharp substances or materials to clean the surfaces - Never clean the appliance with high pressure water or steam cleaning equipment All enamelled parts should be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water or specific detergents. The stainless steel top should be cleaned with a damp cloth and proprietary detergents commercially available. Stainless steel panstand grids may take on a bluish tinge on parts around the burners as a result of the high temperatures. This effect can be reduced by using commercially available steel wool pads.
