Attach the fixing clamps as shown in the figure, screwing them to the holes in the underside of the hob with the self-tapping screws pro- GB replaced by the manufacturer since special tools are required. Avoid the mains cable resting against the hob or oven casing oven if installed in the same piece of furniture. [. . . ] · When handling the hob prior to installation, take care to avoid cuts caused by sharp edges or corners. · When kitchen furniture or equipment is being installed above the hob, cover it with a suitable protective sheet, to protect it against breakage due to blows or excessive pressure. · Remember that the glass is not coverd by the guarantee ir it is knocked or mishandled. · Should the glass surface be broken, disconnect the hob from the electrical supply immediately to avoid the risk of electric shock. · The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for faults or damage due to incorrect installation. Technical Data Technical data COMMON MODELS CHARACTERISTICS OF ALL The supply voltage and frequency are as indicated on the rating plate. The protection against risk in case of fire is class "Y", so these hobs may be installed next to a wall, as shown in figure 5. 50 50 Fig. 5 Note: While the hobs are in use, and for some time after they have been switched off, there will be hot areas that can cause burns. Important: Keep the guarantee beside this user manual since it contains important technical information. 12 GB Use and Maintenance Using vitroceramic hotplates Each of the vitroceramic hob's heating elements is connected to an energy compensator which controls the operating and stopping time for each one (more or less heat). The hob is switched off when at "0", at "1" the operating time is shor t and the stopping time long. At the subsequent positions on the control the operating time increases and the stopping time decreases until reaching position "12" at which operation is continuous only being switched off when the hotplate thermostat is activated which cuts the power supply when reaching the maximum permitted temperature. The operation of one or more heating zones is shown by the on-off indicator. Plastic utensils and sugar or sugar-containing foods that have melted onto the sur face can be removed immediately using a scraper while still hot. Cleaning and maintenance To keep the vitroceramic hob in prime condition only use suitable products and utensils for cleaning. Vitroceramic hobs should be cleaned after ever y use, when they are warm or cold. This makes cleaning easier, avoiding accumulated stains from several uses. Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products that could scratch the sur face (see the table on the next page of common cleaning products to be used) nor cleaning equipment using steam as a cleaning agent. 14 GB RECOMMENDED CLEANING PRODUCTS Product Gentle liquid detergents Powder or aggressive detergents Special vitroceramic cleaners Grease removal sprays (ovens, etc. ) Soft cleaning cloths Kitchen roll Dish cloths Nickel cleaning pads (never dry) Steel cleaning pads Hard (green) synthetic cleaning pads Soft (blue) synthetic cleaning pads Scrapers for glass Liquid polish for domestic equipment and / or glass Can be used for cleaning. . .

Avoid touching the glass with the body of the scraper as this could scratch the surface. · Use blades which are in per fect condition and immediately replace them at the first sign of wear. · After using the scraper retract the blade and lock it in the retracted position (see figure 8). Scraper in "safe" position Scraper with blade exposed Fig. 8 Changes in the colour of the glass Colour changes do not affect the operation or reliability of the hob. They are normally caused by inadequate cleaning or defective recipients. [. . . ] Metallic reflections are caused by metallic recipients sliding across the glass sur face. They can be removed by thorough cleaning using a special product for cleaning vitroceramic hobs although it may be necessar y to repeat the cleaning process several times. 15 GB Deterioration of surface markings is caused by using abrasive cleaning products or recipients with irregular bases that scrape off the silk-screened markings. Pots may stick to the sur face due to a substance melting between them. Never try to pull the pot away when cold! [. . . ]
