The replacements described below should only be performed by an "Authorised Service Centre".
Before replacing any component, you should shut off power supply from the unit by using the omnipolar switch.
A) Switch, thermostat and energy regulators
- remove the dashguard
- undo the screws fastening the component
- remove the thermostat from the switch by carefully bending the two clips of the fastening bracket (for oven controls only)
- remove the protection of the thermostat bulb and pull it off the fastening clips (oven chamber thermostat only)
- disconnect the wires following the electrical diagram

GLASS-CERAMIC WORK TOP

The work tops are equipped with two or four irradiation electricity-fed heating elements, with a two-level power and various
diameters, as shown in point N. 3.
The cooking areas are clearly indicated onto the work tops thanks to circles that represent the limits of the heating area ; each
area is controlled by a handle that activates an energy regulator (please see installation diagrams).
The residual heat warning lights are easily visible onto the work top ; they switch on when the relevant area reaches 60°C and
stay lit until the temperature has not reached below that value.
4.2

INSTALLATION OF THE ELECTRICITY-FED HEATING ELEMENTS

The weaker electric element (1.8 kW) is composed of one heater only and is activated by the relevant handle (see figure 1) ;
by turning it clockwise, it switches on until it reaches the maximum temperature in correspondence with point 3 ; set the
handle on 0 to switch the equipment off.
The stronger electric element (2.4 kW) is composed of two heaters that are also activated by the relevant handle ; by turning
it clockwise the inner heater turns on (1.0 kW) ; it reaches the highest temperature when it is set onto point N. 3 ; if you are
using a large-sized pan, you also have to install the external heater (1.4 kW) ; by turning the handle over point N. 3 you will
hear a click that guarantees the activation of the second heater.
If you move the handle and if you set it into all positions from 1 to 3, you will obtain the desired temperature in the cooking
area. By setting the handle to "0", both heaters will be switched off.
WARNING ! !
The more powerful cooking area is heated by two independent heaters and has been specially conceived in order to be used
for the small-sized pans and the frying pans by simply using the internal electricity-fed heater as explained earlier.
4.3

USE OF THE COOKING AREAS

- Before switching on the heater that corresponds to the desired cooking area, please make sure that the diameter of the pan
that you are using is correct ; also make sure that the bottom is perfectly flat and is quite thick (please use pans and frying
pans with multi-layer bottom) ; the most important thing is that the pan has to be perfectly dry ; now lay the pan onto the
unit and make sure you put it onto the centre of the cooking area.
