6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in

operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at which it was interrupted, provided that the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed. ! There is no preheating stage for the ROASTING and BARBECUE modes. ! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged. ! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided. Cooling ventilation In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door. At the beginning of the PYROLYTIC cycle, the cooling fan operates at low speed. ! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. Oven light When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time by opening the oven door.

• Only available in certain models. Manual cooking modes Automatic cooking modes ! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 40°C and 250°C as desired. In the SPIT ROAST mode, the default power level value is 270°C. ! The temperature and cooking duration are pre-set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. Programmed These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. The cooking duration may be modified by a period of several minutes, as specified in the description of the individual functions below. TRADITIONAL OVEN mode When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. MULTILEVEL mode Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. ROASTING mode This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. SPIT ROAST mode The function is ideal for rotisserie spit cooking. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. LOW TEMPERATURE modes This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65, 90 °C. Spit roast To operate the spit roast function (see diagram)proceedasfollows:

1. Place the dripping pan in

2. Place the rotisserie

support in position 3 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Start the spit roast function

by selecting the symbols. ! When this mode is enabled, the rotisserie spit will stop if the door is opened.

immediately following a high-temperature cooking programme, the text “Hot” will appear on the display until the temperature of the oven has fallen to 40°. At this point it will be possible to place the bread in the oven. Recipe for BREAD: 1 Dripping pan weighing 1000 g max placed on a low shelf level Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g salt, 25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast) Method:

• Mix flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Dilute yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).
• Make a small well in the mound of flour.
• Pour in water and yeast mixture.
• Knead dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky.
• Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Select the manual LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should double in volume).
• Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.
• Place them in the dripping pan on oven paper.

• The cooking times listed above are intended as guidelines only and may be modified to suit personal tastes. Oven preheating times are set by default and cannot be modified manually. ** The duration of the automatic cooking functions are set by default. The values in the table refer to the minimum and maximum duration, which may be modified by the user, taking the default value as a starting point. *** As stated in the recipe, pour 100 g water into the dripping pan.

Start-up and use ! 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. ! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched on. Types of noise during normal hob operation:

• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that make up the induction element and the pot; it is generated by the electromagnetic field required for heating and increases as the power of the induction element increases.
• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once food or water is placed into the pot.
• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on the bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic currents caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be more or less intense depending on the material making up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot dimensions increase.
• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of the same group function simultaneously at maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the autoadjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise.
• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when the large induction element is at maximum power or when the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at average power depending on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature detected is high. The types of noise listed above are due to induction technology and are not necessarily operational faults. Switching on the hob To switch the hob on, press and hold the power level, or towards the left to decrease the power level. The min/med/max buttons can also be pressed directly to select the pre-set power levels: min (1) / med (8) / max (16), and to switch off the plate (see below).

Use cookware made from materials which are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of the cookware. The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches the cooking zones off after they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the 0”. display shows “0 For example: the rear right-hand hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 7 and a half hours of continuous operation, while the front left-hand hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 9 and a half hours.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the cooking zone.

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

• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly. Safety devices Buzzer Pan sensor Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the power level indicator display flashes, this may be because:
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate. This can also indicate several irregularities:
• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off. Overheating protection If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off automatically and F appears on the display, followed by a flashing number. When the temperature has reached a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again.

To exit this mode, follow the procedure described above. The display will show the text DE and OF and the hob will be switched off. When it is next switched on, the hob will function normally. The EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY mode The EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY can be used to set the power of two "interconnected" hotplates to the same level. It can be activated if the two hotplates are OFF, by pressing the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY button The EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY can be activated while the hob is on by pressing the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY button once; the LEDs corresponding to both linked hotplates light up. The 2 LEDs remain lit as long as the hotplates are linked (if EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY button is pressed again, the hotplates are disconnected and are both set to power level 0). Pressing the +, - or Max buttons for one of the two Flexi hotplates also affects the display corresponding to the other hotplate. To deactivate the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY , press the button A timer may be set for the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY; this appears on the display and both LEDs corresponding to the linked hotplates light up. When the Timer button is pressed, the two linked hotplates are treated as if they were a single zone. Selecting and using EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY To begin using the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY, press the button. To set the power level (see above). EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY operation Once you have selected EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY by pressing the button , the 2 LEDs corresponding to the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY for both hotplates light up; it will then be possible to control both as if they were a single zone. The power level will appear on both displays. If only the upper or lower part is in use, the display corresponding to the unused zone will begin to flash, and after 3 minutes cooking will automatically revert to standard mode (notEXTENSO TECHNOLOGY). ! Once activated, the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY can also be programmed, using the same procedure as described for the individual hotplates.

! Accessories For optimal EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY performance, we recommend the use of pans with an elliptical or elongated base and a major diameter of at least 250 mm; if using pans with a smaller diameter, we recommend positioning them in the upper or lower part as indicated by the X symbol. If the saucepan is not in the centre of the screen printing detail, you may hear a whistling sound or a slight buzzing noise; this does not indicate a hob malfunction. We recommend adjusting the position of the pan so that it is in the centre of the EXTENSO TECHNOLOGY zone Technical description The induction system is the quickest existing way of cooking. Unlike traditional hotplates where the cooking zone heats up, with the induction system heat is generated directly inside pans which have ferromagnetic bases.

• 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. For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the public service provided or their local dealer. 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. The cooking mode programming options, and particularly the “delayed cooking” mode (see Cooking modes), make this possible.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the SPIT ROAST and ROASTING modes. this will achieve improved 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 the dispersal of heat. ! This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. OVEN;; If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, the appliance automatically switches to the “Clock button”. The standby mode is visualised by the low luminosity "Watch Icon". As soon as interaction with the machine resumes, the system's operating mode is restored. HOB:: If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, after the residual heat indicator lights turn off and the fan stops (if present), the appliance automatically switches to the “off mode”. The appliance resumes the operating mode once the ON/OFF button is pressed.

Care and maintenance

Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Cleaning the oven ! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

• 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 stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge which 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.
• 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.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus. We recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed well then dried thoroughly. Inspecting the oven seals Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest Aftersales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced. Replacing the oven light bulb Cavity To replace the oven light bulb: Light bulb

1. Remove the glass cover using a screwdriver.

2. Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a

similar one: Wattage 15 W, cap E 14. Replace the glass cover, making sure the seal is positioned correctly ( see diagram ). ! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting. 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.
