When using the hob for the first time, unpleasant smells, or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of greasy working residues and of hte dope used during the installation. These smells will vanish after some time of working. Rapid hot Plate This type is indicated by a red circle in the middle of the plate. The red circle is painted on and so will deteriorate and may come off completely over a period of time. A rapid plate will heat up much more quickly than a normal plate. Pilot lamp Use of electric plates To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the required position. The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate. 26 Electric plate with 7 position knob The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch: Position 0: off Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat In the intermediate positions, 2-3-4-5, increasing power values are obtained. When cooking with fats or oils maximum care must be taken as these can self-ignite when over-heated. Normal and rapid plates: For best results we advise you to initially regulate the switch to rapid to accelerate the heating of the plate and then turn the switch to the position most suitable for the food to be cooked.

Moderate Medium 3 4 High Very high 5 6 Practical hints - Hints and tips - - - Cleaning and maintenance Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance. To ensure the long-life of the hob, we advise you to clean it regularly. Naturally, before cleaning the plates, allow them to cool. Do not acquire the bad habit of wiping over the plates with a damp cloth whilst they are still hot. Although they will stand up to such teatment, fragments of the cloth could remain. The plates and their bases can, however, be cleaned occasionally using fine sandpaper. The base of the plates in special steel will stay impeccable if cleaned with hot water and vinigar. We advise you to grease the surface of the plates from time to time with a non-acid fat (cooking oil, sewing machine oil or vaseline). Products for care and maintenance are available commercially. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth, do not use abrasive products. The knobs can be removed by lifting to facilitate cleaning. The enamelled part of the hob can be cleaned with warm water and detergent. Although the enamel will tollerate acids, we advise you to quickly remove splashes of vinigar, lemon and all acid substances. Also immediately remove all residue of fat or other to avoid any incrustation. If incrustations have formed leave the crust immersed in hot water. Never use metal brushes, knives or similar objects which could scratch the enamel. Avoid using acid detergents. Clean steel hobs with specific detergents. When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure total contact with the plate and, consequently, perfect conduction (Fig. 1). Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the even distribution of heat and the saving of energy. Cooking time is also lengthier. We therefore recommend that you acquire a battery of kitchenware specifically for use with electric plates. Furthermore, these particular saucepans are easy to use and clean. Recipients in heat-resistent glass (pyrex) or in ovenproof pottery can be placed directly on the plates if their instructions for use are followed. As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results, the plate and the saucepan should have the same diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised. Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch off the plate just before the end of cooking time. The heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the food and save energy.

Before connecting ensure that: l the limiter valve and the electrical mains can support the voltage of the appliance (see label). l the power supply is correctly earthed according to regulations in force. l the omnipolar interrupter used can be easily reached once the appliance has been installed. The appliance is not supplied with a cable suitable for the existing power suply. Use a cable Type HO5RR-F / H05V2V2 (T90) with sections suitable for the charge of a normalized plug. The cable must be fitted with three conductors. The earth wire is coloured yellow/green. If a direct connection to the mains is required an omnipolar interrupter with a minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts should be interposed between the appliance and the supply. The yellow/green earth wire must not be interrupted by the interrupter. The supply cable must be positioned in such a way that it will at no point reach a temperature 50° C above that of room temperature. After connection try out the heating elements by allowing them to function for about three minutes. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if the accident prevention regulations are not respected. Electrical connection to the terminal board The appliance is fitted with a five pole terminal box whose cables are predisposed for a 230 V monophase function (Fig. 10). In case of a different voltage, carry out the connection as shown in Fig. 11.
