N.B. The connection cable must have the following characteristics: it must be at least the silicone type (resistant to a
temperature of at least 180°), and must have an adequate section for the power of the appliance (see technical data
table).
The appliance must be connected to an equipotent system. The connection screw is positioned at the back of the
appliance and is identified by the
Attention! The manufacturer will neither be held responsible for, nor will give any compensation during the guarantee
period for any damage caused, and which is due to inadequate installations not compliant with the instructions.
Indication each plate is connected to a power adjuster which lets you choose from minimum temperature,
indicated on the knob by the number 1, and the maximum temperature, indicated by 6. For initial
cooking the highest temperatures are advised.
- each plate is equipped with a temperature limiter which activates when the current temperature may
damage the glass (see the paragraph "what to do in case of problems").
Warning use only suitable pans (with ferrite bottom e.g. steel 430).

What is induction cooking?

The principle of induction cooking is very simple. When the pan is placed on the pyroceram surface of the hob, it enters
a magnetic field generated by an induction system. The ferrous base of the pan heats up rapidly as molecules rub against
one another, producing heat. Speed and intensity of heating can be adjusted by controlling the magnetic field.

Why should you choose induction ?

For Safety, because there are no flames or heat sources that create hazards when the pan is removed from the heat
source. The hob shuts off automatically as soon as the pan is removed
For Speed, because heat is generated is generated directly inside the pan, allowing it to heat up immediately. For the
same reason, temperature adjustment takes place immediately as compared for example with gas cooking
For Efficiency, because compared with other types of cooking, induction has very high energy yield, around 85%. This
system of cooking also keeps the surrounding area cool and healthy, as their is no heat dispersion as with other types of
cooking appliances.

Hotplates:

Switch on the main switch installed above the appliance. Turn the control knob corresponding to the hotplate from
position "0" to the degree of coking desired, between 1 and 6. The light comes on, as son as the power supply is on. It is
advisable to turn on the hotplate at maximum temperature and, as soon as this is reached, turn the control knob to the
level desired. To turn off the hotplate, turn the knob back into position "0".
Attention! During cleaning, do not wash the external parts of the appliance with direct sprays of water or with
high pressure.
After every use, clean the appliance thoroughly. Daily cleaning after switching off the appliance ensures the perfect
functioning and long life of the appliance.
Before starting to clean the appliance, disconnect the power supply. The parts in steel must be washed with hot water
and neutral detergent, then rinsed thoroughly in order to eliminate all traces of detergent; after which, dried with a dry
cloth. Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents.
Cleaning the crystal
The crystal must be cleaned with degreasing liquids, acids containing vinegar and lemon, suitable for cleaning ceramic
and crystal. It is advisable to carry out this operation when the crystal is not completely cold, so that spilled food,
burned grease, etc. can be softened using a damp cloth and removed whilst still warm with an ordinary scraper, in order
to avoid damaging the crystal surface.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents.
PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IF THE APPLIANCE IS NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR
Clean and dry the appliance carefully according to the instructions. Disconnect the power supply.
