4. USE OF THE COOKING HOB
4.1 Cooking zones
The appliance features 4 cooking zones of different diameter and power. Their position is clearly indicated by circles and the heat given off is defined by the markings on the glass surface.
The 4 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type and come on after a few seconds of being activated. Heating intensity can be adjusted by means of the knobs located on the front panel from a minimum setting of 1 to a maximum setting of 9.
The cooking zones marked by two concentric circles ( ) and by a circle + fish-kettle ( ) feature double heating either within the inner circle or both circles.
The 4 signal lamps located between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more of the heating zones exceeds 60° C.
The lamps go off upon temperature dropping to below approximately 60° C.
When using for the first time, it is advisable to heat up the cooking hob to its maximum temperature for enough time so as to burn off any possible oily manufacturing residues, the smell of which could otherwise be absorbed by the food.
For best results and energy saving, only use receptacles suitable for electric cooking:
- The bottom of the receptacles must be very thick and perfectly flat; before placing on the cooking hob, make sure that it, as well as the cooking hob itself, are perfectly clean and dry.
- To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use cast-iron receptacles or receptacles with a rough bottom.
- To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the diameter of the receptacle bottom is the same as that of the circle marked on the cooking hob.
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the cooking hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on to the cooking hob. In the event, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the top is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the glazed ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.
Important.
Beware of children in the vicinity as the signal lamps indicating residual heat are out of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking hob remains hot for a certain period of time.
Make sure that children never touch the cooking hob.
4.2 Cooking tips

5. USE OF THE OVENS
5.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.
The user has only to press the central key ⏰ for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout.
To avoid problems that may be caused by any vapour in the ovens, open the doors in two phases: keep them half open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds then open them completely. If you need to attend to the food the doors should be left open for the shortest time possible, thus avoiding lowering of internal temperature to a point that might jeopardise final cooking results.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

Instructions for the user
7. COOKING HINTS
In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking
7.1 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 50° TO 250°C
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating is not necessary.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the different foods is the same.
7.2 Hot-air grilling
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 50° TO 250°C
Ensures uniform heat distribution with greater heat penetration into the food. Food will be lightly browned on the outside and remain soft inside. Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must not exceed 60 minutes.
Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of operation.
7.3 Grill cooking
THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION
Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the highest guide. For short-term cooking of small quantities, place the grid in the third guide from the bottom. For long-term cooking and grills, put the grid in the lowest guide in accordance with the size of the pieces.
While cooking a great deal of heat will come out: keep children away from the oven.
Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of operation.
7.4 Defrosting
THERMOSTAT IN POSITION
The flow of air produced by the fan ensures quicker defrosting. The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.
The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter the taste and appearance of the food.
7.5 Traditional cooking
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 50° TO 250°C
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to preheat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. Very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and dirtying the sides of the oven.
7.6 Delicate cooking
THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION
Ideal for pastries and cakes with wet covering and little sugar and damp desserts in moulds. Excellent results can also be achieved in completing cooking at the bottom and with dishes requiring heat in the lower area in particular. The plate is best inserted at bottom level.
7.7 Variable grill cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
VARIABLE GRILL CHOICE BETWEEN MIN. AND MAX.
This function permits varying the power of the grill according to the quantity of food to be cooked.
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired position.
7.8 Spit cooking
This type of cooking is only for the main oven. Use it for small size pieces.
Prepare the food on the spit rod and block fork screws A. Insert the frame B in the third level from the bottom. Remove handle D and position the spit rod so the pulley E remains guided on frame B. Completely fit frame B until the tip of the spit rod fits into hole C on the back wall of the oven. Place an oven dish F on the bottom guide and pour in a little water to prevent smoke from forming.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must not exceed 60 minutes.
It is normal for the thermostat light to going on and off during cooking. This indicates the temperature inside the oven is regular.
8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
8.1 Cleaning the glazed ceramic hob
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
The cooking hob should be regularly cleaned; best after every use, once the residual heat signal lamps have gone off.
NEVER USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Smudges from aluminium-bottom pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened in vinegar.
Remove any burnt residues after cooking with the scraper provided; rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces the need for chemical detergents for the daily cleaning of the hob.
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-removers, wire sponges).
8.2 Cleaning stainless steel
8.2.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.2.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
8.3 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take out all removable parts.
Clean the oven rack and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
8.3.1 Self-cleaning liners
The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners.
These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over time.
8.3.2 Using the self-cleaning liners
Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60 minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a damp sponge.
8.3.3 Looking after the self-cleaning liners
The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.
8.3.4 Assembling the self-cleaning liners
- Remove all accessories from the oven;
- Remove the side racks (fig.1);
- Extract the side liners "F" and "G" (fig. 2);
- Remove the back panel "A" after undoing the threaded ring-nut "C" (fig. 2).
- Reassemble the panels, restoring them to their original position.
8.4 Door glass
These should always be kept very clean. Use absorbent kitchen paper or, in case of hard to remove dirt, wash with a wet sponge and ordinary detergent.
9. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Ovens periodically require small maintenance interventions or replacement of parts subject to wear and tear such as gaskets, electric bulbs etc. Specific instructions for each intervention of this type appear below.
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.
9.1 Replacement of light bulbs
Remove cover A by twisting anticlockwise, replace bulb B with another similar bulb (25 W). Refit the cover A.
Only use oven bulbs (T 300°C).
9.2 Removing the door
Open the door completely and fit the pins (supplied) into the holes from the inside. Close the door to an angle of about 45°, lift it and remove it from its seat. To replace, fit the hinges into the grooves provided, then lower the door until it comes to rest and extract the pins. If the pins are lost, two screwdrivers can also be used.
The door gaskets can be dismantled for thorough cleaning of the ovens. Before removing the gaskets the oven doors must be removed as previously described. With the doors removed, raise the tabs at the corners as shown in the figure.
