! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away. ! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob. A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
• Set the total cooking time and the cooking end time (see below).
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than "0". It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting the light symbol with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and Max, except for the following modes

• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level).
• FAN-ASSISTED GRILL (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

The various features of the cooker may be controlled using the knobs and buttons located on the control panel.

! Before using the oven and grill for the first time, leave it to heat up for approximately 30 minutes. Check that the oven is empty, the thermostat is set to maximum, the door is shut and that the room is well-ventilated. The oven may emit a slightly unpleasant odour during this time due to the evaporation of the protective substances applied to the oven and grill at the end of the manufacturing process.

! Only use the lowest shelf when cooking with the turnspit (if provided). Never use the lowest shelf for any other type of cooking, and never place any objects on the bottom of the oven while it is operating, as this could damage the enamel coating. Always place cookware (dishes, aluminium trays, etc.) on the rack provided, ensuring the rack is correctly positioned using the guide rails inside the oven.

Turn the thermostat knob to any position. The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-temperature air around the food. This programme is suitable for defrosting any type of food, especially delicate items that should not be heated, for example: ice-cream cakes or cakes made with custard, cream or fruit. The defrosting time will be approximately halved. When defrosting meat, fish or bread, the process may be accelerated by using the "multi-cooking" mode and setting a temperature between 80°C and 100°C.

Position the thermostat knob between 50°C and Max. This position activates both the top and bottom heating elements. This is the classic traditional oven that has been modified to ensure an exceptional level of heat distribution while limiting

the amount of energy consumed. The static oven remains unsurpassed in the cooking of dishes with ingredients consisting of two or more elements, which are combined to make a single dish, for example: cabbage with pork ribs, Spanish-style dried cod, Ancona-style stockfish, tender veal with rice, etc... This cooking mode is the best way of cooking beef or veal-based dishes, for example: braised meat, stews, goulash, game meat, pork leg and loin, etc... as these must be cooked slowly, with liquid added regularly. It is also the best way of cooking desserts, fruit and dishes that require covered recipients designed for use in the oven. When using the oven in static mode, use only one shelf (using more than one shelf may adversely affect heat distribution). By using the different shelves available, the heat distribution between the top and bottom of the oven may be balanced as desired. If a dish requires more heat at the top or bottom of the oven, use the lower or upper shelves respectively.

Turn the thermostat knob between 50°C and Max. The heating elements and the fan are activated. Because the heat is distributed evenly throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. You may also cook different dishes at the same time, provided that the cooking temperatures are similar. It is possible to use a maximum of 2 racks at the same time, following the instructions given in the paragraph entitled "Cooking on several shelves simultaneously".

This function is particularly suitable for cooking dishes "au gratin", or for dishes requiring a reasonably long cooking time, for example: lasagne, pasta bake dishes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc... There are substantial advantages to this mode when cooking roast meats, as the improved temperature distribution enables lower temperatures to be set, thus reducing the amount of juices that escape from the meat, making it less likely to shrink in the oven and more tender to eat. The fan-assisted mode is particularly useful when cooking fish, which can be cooked in this way with a minimal amount of liquid added, therefore maintaining its original taste and appearance.

Dessert: this mode is completely safe to use when cooking leavened cakes.

The "fan-assisted" function may also be used for defrosting red or white meat or bread quickly, by setting the temperature to 80°C. To defrost more delicate foods, set the temperature to 60°C or use the cold air circulation by setting the temperature knob to 0°C.

TOP OVEN

Turn the thermostat knob between 50°C and Max. The top heating element comes on.

This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

GRILL

Position the thermostat knob between 50°C and Max.

The central top heating element and the turnspit will be activated.

The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high surface temperature: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical cooking advice" section.

FAN-ASSISTED GRILL

Position the thermostat knob between 50°C and Max.

The central top heating element and the fan will be activated.

This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are obtained by using the fan-assisted grill to cook mixed meat and vegetable kebabs, sausages, pork ribs, lamb cutlets, spicy chicken, sage-dressed quail, pork fillet etc...

Cook dishes "au gratin" in this mode with the oven door closed.

"Gratin" is the best way of cooking sliced perch, tuna, swordfish, stuffed squid, etc...

Timer*

To activate the Timer proceed as follows:

1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction to set the desired length of time.

Electronic timer*

This function displays the time and works as a timer which counts down to zero.

! All functions will be implemented approximately 7 seconds after they have been set.

Resetting the clock

After the appliance has been connected to the power supply, or after a power cut, the clock display will begin to blink, showing the figure: 0:000:00

- Press button ⬆ and then buttons - and + to set the exact time. Press and hold the buttons to quicken the count upwards.

Any necessary modifications can be made by repeating the above process.

Timer feature

This function may be accessed by pressing the ▲ button, after which the display will show the symbol

▲. Every time the + button is pressed it corresponds to a time increase of 10 seconds, until it reaches 99 minutes and 50 seconds. After this point, each press of the button represents an increase of one minute, up to a maximum of 10 hours.

Pressing the - button reduces the time.

After the time period has been set, the timer will begin to count down. When the timer reaches zero, the buzzer will sound (this may be stopped by pressing any button).

The time may be displayed by pressing the

button, and the ▲ symbol indicates that the timer function has been set. After approximately 7 seconds, the display will automatically revert to the timer.

Cancelling a time that has already been set

Press the - button until the display shows 0:00.0:00.

Adjusting the buzzer volume

After selecting and confirming the clock settings, use the — button to adjust the volume of the alarm buzzer.

* Only available in certain models.

Cooking on several shelves simultaneously

If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN OVEN cooking mode ✗, as this is the only cooking mode suited to this type of cooking. We also recommend that:

• Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
• Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that requires more heat is placed on the rack in position 2.
• When cooking foods that require different cooking times and temperatures, set a temperature that is halfway between the two recommended temperatures (see Oven cooking advice table) and place the more delicate food on the rack in position 4. Remove the food that requires a shorter cooking time first.
• When cooking pizzas on several racks with the temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated for 15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on the rack in position 4 takes longer: we recommend that the pizza cooked on the lowest rack position is removed first, followed by the pizza cooked in position 4 a few minutes later.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

The turnspit

To activate the turnspit, follow the instructions below:

• Place the dripping pan on the 1st rack.
• Position the rotisserie support on the 3rd rack and insert the spit towards the rear, threading it through the hole

provided.

- Start the rotisserie by turning knob to the |→| position.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning knob to the symbol. The oven lights up and remains lit as long as any of the electric heating elements of the oven are in operation.

Thermostat indicator light

This indicates the heating-up phase of the oven; as soon as the inside of the oven reaches the set temperature the light switches off. At this point the indicator light will switch on and off intermittently; this shows that the thermostat is operating correctly in order to maintain a constant temperature inside the oven.

NB: cooking times are approximate and may vary according to personal taste. When cooking using the grill or fan assisted grill, the dripping pan must always be placed on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

Using the glass ceramic hob

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

Switching the cooking zones on and off

To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction.

To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise direction until it is in the "0" position. If the ELECTRIC HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit, this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is switched on.

Cooking zones

The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red.

A. The cooking zone with radiant heating elements.

B. The residual heat indicator light: this indicates that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C, even

when the heating element has been switched off but is still hot.

Cooking zones with radiant heating elements

These emit heat via radiation from the radiant lamps they contain. They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to actually see the power they are providing.

Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction, to a position between 1 and 6

Practical advice on using the hob

- Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.

Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the heat produced.

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both the pans and the hob last for a longer period of time.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to become damaged.

This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards.

The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

General safety

• The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product.

All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL modes: This will achieve better results while saving energy (approximately 10%).
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

Cleaning the oven

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Replacing the oven light bulb

1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains, remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket (see figure).
2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the electricity supply.

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair. - It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll. - If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper (this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
