Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to approach when playing. If electrical appliances are plugged in near the oven, take care thatthe lead does not touch the cooking areas and does not become trapped in the oven door.

OVEN DOOR PROTECTION DEVICE

Allour appliances comply with the European Safety Standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid little children to be exposedtothe heatwhenthe applianceis operated, itis possible to fit a special protection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifyingthe relevantcode (35791) andthe Product No. shown on the rating plate (see page 45). Fitting instructions are provided with the kit package.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USER

INSTALLATION Itis important that all operations relating to instalation and regulation be carried out by qualified personnel, according to the rules and regulations in force. Specific instructions are described in the chapter intended for the installer. BEFORE using the appliance take care to remove the special film which protects parts in inox or stainless steel.

The pyroceram cooking plate is equipped with a pilot light which turns on when the surface is too hot; itis a helpful device which protects users from burns. This light turns on some minutes after the plate has been set into operation, abd it stays on during the whole time of functioning and also when the plate is off to show the presence of residual heat in the pyroceram surface. The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm temperature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean the plate with no risk. The pyroceram cooking plate is resistent to sudden changes in temperature, it is insensitive to heat and cold and hals also a good resistence to mechanical blows; a sharpened object, however, no matter if it is small (for example a point of a knife) can irreparably damage the cooking surface, jeopardising its functionality. Attention: is the surface shows a crack, immediately switch the equipment off and call the Aftersales Service. Before using the cooking plate for the first time, carefully wash the pyroceram plate with a non-abrasi- ve detergent, dry it and then wsitch it on for about 10 minutes at the highest position (n. 6 of the knob). When using the cooking plate for the first time, unpleasant smells, or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of greasy working residues and of hte dope used during the installation. These smells will vanish after some time of working.

PLATE CLEANING AND MANTEINANCE

Fist remove all food and grease residues from the cooking plate using a cleaning scraper. The clean the cooking plate at low heat; use a suitable detergent and absorbent paper. Finally rub it with a wet cloth and dry it with a clean cloth.

WARNING: Never place alluminium foils or

containers in plastic or other synthetic material on the hot pyroceram surface. Anyway, if some of these materials should settle by accident on the plate, due to overheating, be careful to remove them immediately, using a scraper (it is not supplied). In the same way, remove sugar or food residues with high sugar content, which may have split from saucepans. Cleaning detergents can supply the pyroceram plate with a protective film against dirt and damage due to sugar-substances. To this purpose, this kind of product must be applied before cooking. Never use scratching sponges, abrasive products, chemically powerful detergents (like spray oven detergents) or spot removers.

PRACTICAL ADVICE COOKING RECIPIENTS Remember that a large recipient offers a larger surface to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow recipient. Always use recipients of a size suitable for the food to be cooked. In particular, take care that recipients are nottoo small for liquid preparations which could easily spill over or that they are not too big for food which must be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are easily burnt by fats and juice. For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not open. A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar which, when spilling onto the bottom of the oven, caramelize and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic handles in the oven as they may not support the heat.

ELECTRIC PLATES PYROCERAMIC

Sealed hotplates The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four hot plates. (Fig. 1) Normal This is a 7 position control knob: 0 =off and 1-6 indica- te the levels of power uo to the mawimum. Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should have several characteristics: - they should be heavy duty. - they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller. - they should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate (Fig. 2). FO 2087 Fig. 1 This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking. Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them. Fig. 2

The regulating switch (Fig. 5) must be turned in a clockwise direction to the 60 minutes position then in an anti-clockwise direction to the time required. Once the time chosen has elapsed, an acoustic signal intervenes which stops automatically. The timer cannot interrupt the operation of the oven upon action of the signal. FO 2090 Fig. 5

The multi-function oven allows you to choose from the different cooking principles, that which is best suited to the dish to be cooked. NATURAL CONVECTION Air heated by the two resistances on the bottom and top of the oven, is circulated in the cavity in a homogenous manner. Place dishes on the central grids. Use the top or bottom grids to apply more heat to the upper or lower parts of food. FANNED HEAT Released by a resistance placed behind the back panel, hot air is circulated evenly and very quickly in the oven by à fan. The horizontal circulation of hot air at an even temperature permits multi-cooking; several similar or different dishes cook together without exchanging smells. For example: a pie, fish or 3 pie bases atthe same time. When cooking on one level, place on the lower grid for better cooking control.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR COOKING

Cakes Cakes usually require a moderate temperature (150 to 200°C) and preheating for approximately 10 minutes. For best results, do not open the oven door until 3/4 of the cooking time has elapsed. Beaten mixtures must come off the spoon with difficulty, as excessive fluidity would prolong cooking unnecessarily. In the case of preparations of shortpastry which must be filled with a very wet filling, to obtain a crisp pastry it is sufficient to cook the pie base for 2/3 before filling. Th pie will then be returned to the oven to complete cooking. If putting 3 trays of cakes into the oven atthe same time (cooking by fanned heat) we advise you to leave one grid free between the two lower ones (Fig. 6). Fig. 7 FO 0061 FO 0344] Meat and fish Very tender red meats, to be cooked rare, must be cooked at a very high temperature (200°C-250°C) to retain all their juices. For white meat, poultry and fish choose a lower tem- perature (150°C-175°C). Ingredients for sauces should only be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they should be added during the last half hour. A quicker cooking time is required for roast beef and fillet. Roast meats and poultry can be placed directly on the grill support, in this case the dripping pan should be inserted in a lower grid. The grill convexity should be turned to the top or bottom according to the thickness ofthe meat (Fig. 7). Roasts can also be placed in earthenware dishes or in heat- resistant glassware. Wait at least 15 minutes before cutting meat in order to allow juices to stabilize. Add a little water to the dripping pan to reduce the formation of smoke inside the oven. If the water evaporates during cooking, add some more to avoid the formation of steam. After cooking, keep dishes hot in the oven at minimum temperature. Attention! Do not cover the oven with aluminium foil. Do not place casseroles, the dripping pan or cake trays on the bottom of the oven. The resulting accumulation of heat would affect cooking results and damage the enamel.

Almost all types of meat can be grilled, with the exception of some lean game and meatballs. After oiling, place the meat and fish directly on the grill. This will be placed at the height best suited to the type of food to be cooked. The grill convexity will be turned towards the top or bottom according to the thickness ofthe piece (Fig.7). Insertthe dripping pan in the first grid from the bottom. A little water in the dripping pan will facilitate oven cleaning. COOKING TIMES Cooking times can vary slightly according to the type and size of different preparations. We advise you to check your first preparations, as when preparing the same dishes in the same conditions you will always obtain the same results. The times and temperatures indicated in the following table are provided as an indication. We have shown two temperatures for each type of food. We advise you first choose the lower tempera- ture and pass to a higher temperature if, for example, dishes are not sufficiently cooked. We advise you to consultthe cooking tables when first using the oven, thereafter adapting itto your needs and uses.

MAINTENANCE Cleaning of the cooker Splashes of juice, fruit juice, etc. must be removed as quickly as possible with a damp cloth as they could, in time, cause the enamel to loose its shine. To remove light scratches from the enamel, use slightly abrasive cleaning products in powder form. Do notuse steel wool or knives to remove deposits of dirt. For daily cleaning use soap and water or one of the numerous products available commerically. Wash the enamelled grills with water and a cleaning product. Only clean the electric plates once they have become cold. Cleaning of the oven Carefully clean the oven after use and whilst still slightly warm. In fact this is when deposits of fat or similar, fruit juices, particles of sugar or grease can be most easily removed as they will not have had time to become hard. Use hot water and a cleaning product or a product in spray form which can be obtained commercially. When using, follow with manufacturer's instructions. Do not direct sprays onto parts in burnished steel, as you could damage them. Clean oven accessories (grill, dripping pan, etc.) with hot water and a cleaning product. Remove any deposits by means of a slightly abrasive powder. Never cover the sides or the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil to collect splashes of fat. The resultant accumulation of heat would affect cooking results and could damage the enamel. Replacement of oven lamp Disconnect the appliance; unscrew the glass protection cap (Fig. 8), unscrew the lamp and replace with another which can support high temperatures (300°C) and having the following characteristics: Tension: 230V (50 Hz) Power: 15W Cap:E14 Remount the glass cap and reconnect the appliance.

PLACEMENT This is a type X appliance. It has been designed to be placed between two furniture units whose height does not exceed the cooker's plate height (EN 60 335-2-6).

WHEN THE COOKER IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the cooker has been installed itis important to remove the protective materials which were put on in the factory. Switch the oven control to MAX and leave it to run, empty, for 30 minutes to remove any unpleasant new smells. Please ensure that when the appliance is installed itis easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. LEVELLING The cookers are supplied with adjustable feet fitted on the back and front angles of the base. The feet can be regulated (Fig. 10) to adjustthe height of the appliance to that of the neighbouring units and for an even distribution of liquids contained in pans. FO 0063 Fig. 10

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Prior to making the electric al connection, make sure that: - The protection fuse and the domestic wire system are suitable to carry the total electric load of the oven (see rating plate). -_ Your domestic wiring system has an efficient earth connection in compliance with the rules and laws in force. - The wall socket orthe omnipole switch used for the electrical connection can easily be reached afterthe oven is built in. The appliance is delivered without an electric supply cable, therefore, you will have to fit to it a supply cable with standard plug, suitable for the total electric load shown on the rating plate. The plug is to be inserted into a suitable wall socket. If you require a direct connection to the electric network (mains), it will be necessary to fit between the appliance and the mains an omnipole switch, aith a minimum gap between contacts of 3 mm. suitable for the required load and in compliance with rules in force. The green 1 yellow ground wire must not be interrupted by the switch. The supply cable must in all cases be laid out in such a Way as to ensure that it does not reach at any given point a temperature 50°C higher than the ambienttem- perature. The manufacturer disclaims any liability in case these accident-preventing rules are not observed. Suitable power supply cables are the following types, considering the respective necessary section of cable. H07 RN-F H05 RN-F HO5 RR-F H05 VV-F

CONNECTING THE TERMINAL BOARD
