BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

For best use of your coo top, read the

instructions for use carefully and eep them in

asafeplace.

This appliance must only be used for the

purpose for which it was designed, i.e. for

coo ing foods.

Any other use should be considered incorrect

and therefore dangerous.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for

damage caused by unreasonable, incorrect or

rash use of the appliance.

Do not try to alter the technical features of

the appliance, because this could be very

dangerous.

Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene pieces,

etc...) must be stored out of the reach of children as

they are potentially dangerous.

Check that the cooktop has not been damaged

during transport. If in doubt, consult a specialised

engineer.

Ma e sure that the installation and electrical

connections are made by a qualified electrician

following the manufacturer’s instructions and

in compliance with local regulations in force.

TIPS FOR SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Pac aging

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is

marked with the recycling symbol

to identify the

type of material which must be taken to the local

collection centres.

2. Product

The cooktop has been manufactured with recyclable

material. Dispose of it following the local regulations

for the disposal of waste.

Before disposing of it make it unusable by cutting

off the supply cable.

WARNINGS FOR THE USE OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

When using electrical appliances some

important rules must always be followed. In

particular:

Never touch the appliance with wet or damp hands

or feet.

Never use the appliance with bare feet.

Keep children away from the hob when it is in use.

Before any cleaning or maintenance, switch off the

electricity to the cooktop.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

Ris of fire!

Do not leave inflammable material on the cooktop.

Make sure that the electrical cables of other

appliances installed nearby cannot come into

contact with the cooktop.

Keep children away from the appliance, especially

when it is being used.

During and immediately after use some parts of the

cooktop reach very high temperatures.

Do not touch them.

Never cook the food directly on the electric

hotplates or on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in

special pans or containers.

If the coo top is fitted with a

glass cover:

Do not close the glass cover when the electric

hotplates are still hot. If there is an oven under the

cooktop, do not close the cover when the oven is

switched on or still hot.

Do not put pans or heavy objects on the cover.

Dry off any liquid which may have spilt on the cover

before opening it.

EC Declaration of conformity

This cooktop is intended to come into contact with

food products and conforms with European

Directive 89/109/EEC.

This cooktop has been designed for use only as a

cooking appliance. Any other use (e.g. heating

rooms) should be considered incorrect and therefore

dangerous.

This cooktop has been designed, constructed and

put on to the market in conformity with:

- Safety requirements of the “Low Voltage”

Directive 7 /2 /EEC and amendments;

- Protection requirements of the “EMC” Directive

89/ 6/EEC and amendments;

- Requirements of Directive 9 /68/EEC.

2 ELECTRIC HOTPLATE COOKTOP

Switch on the electric hotplates by turning the knob to

the position required.

Once the food is boiling turn down the power

accordingtotheheatingintensityrequired.

The hotplate will continue to give out heat for 5

minutes after it has been switched off.

The features of these electric hotplates, which are fitted

with a heating limiter, allow:

− rapid reaching of the temperature

− maximum use of the power with flat-bottomed pans

− limitation of the power if the pan is unsuitable.

AKR 024 – AKR 010

The hotplate temperature is adjusted by a 7-position

changeover switch.

The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the operating

positions with temperature increasing with the number.

AKR 012

A power regulator allows continuous adjustment of the

temperature of the electric hotplates from position 1

(minimum temperature) to 12 (maximum temperature.

CORRECT USE OF THE ELECTRIC

HOTPLATES

When using the electric hotplate:

− absolutely avoid idle operation (without pans)

− try not to spill liquids on the hotplates when they

are hot

− only use pans with flat bottoms (electric type)

− to save electricity use lids when possible

− always use pans which cover the hotplate surface

completely.

Operation of the electric hotplates is signalled by an

indicator light.

ATTENTION

During and after use of the electric hotplates

the coo top becomes hot.

Keep children away.

GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP

The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid

vertical heat transmission from the heating elements

under the cooktop to the pans on it.

The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the

cooktop remains “cold” just a few centimetres away

from the cooking zone.

The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles

drawn on the glass ceramic surface.

Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is

clean.

ATTENTION

During and after use of the electric hotplates

the coo top becomes hot.

Keep children away.
