! 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 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 60^ and Max, except for

• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200^ ).

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only: if more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.

MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

| BARBECUE mode

The top heating element comes on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. 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. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

PIZZA mode

The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

BARBECUE

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.

PIZZA MODE

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
  For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time).
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

Lower compartment

! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven compartment.
! The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may become hot.

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^ , 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.

Practical advice on using the appliance

! 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.

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

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 indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:

• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

Residual heat indicators

Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones are still at a high temperature. If the power display

shows H, the cooking zone is still hot. It is possible, for example, to keep a dish warm or melt butter or chocolate. As the cooking zone cools, the

power display will show h . The display switches off when the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently.

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.

Safety switch

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 display shows "0". For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation,

Power level	Maximum operating time in hours
1	9
2	8
3	7
4	6
5	5
6	4
7	3
8	2
9	1

while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.

Buzzer

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.

Technical description of the models

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 glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if struck with a sharp object such as a utensil. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
- If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
- Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
- Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
- Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
- When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
- Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
- Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
- 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.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• If the cooker is installed on a pedestal, take all necessary precautions to ensure that the appliance does not slide off this pedestal.

- For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active implants:

The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus being used on condition that the apparatus in question also complies with this legislation. Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations. In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility.
- After using the hob, switch it off using the corresponding control device; do not rely solely on the pan sensor.

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.

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.

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.

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 After-sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Replacing the oven light bulb

To replace the oven light bulb:

* Only available in certain models.

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).

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.

Warning:

The appliance is fitted with an automatic diagnostic system which detects any malfunctions. Malfunctions are displayed by messages of the following type: "F" followed by numbers. Call for technical assistance in the event of a malfunction.

! Never use the services of an unauthorised technician.

Please have the following information to hand:

• The type of problem encountered.
• The appliance model (Mod.).
• The serial number (S/N).

The latter two pieces of information can be found on the data plate located on the appliance.

Catalitic Cleaning*

In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This "oxidation" of the fat particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170^ . The porous quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place.

If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.

• Only available in certain models.
