Using the appliance

Hob controls

Heating element

The heating element is controlled by a 6-position button.

The heating element is controlled by the corresponding controller, which must be set to the required setting. Beside each controller is a symbol that indicates which element is controlled by the controller. The on/off indicator light on the control panel indicates whether one of the heating elements is in use.

Button position	Function
0	Off position
1	Keep warm position
2-3	Low heat position
4-5-6	Cook, sear and boil position

IMPORTANT

The direction of rotation of the button varies depending on the product's characteristics.

Double and oval cooking zone (if available)

The double and oval cooking zone is composed of two cooking zones. To activate the outer part of a double/oval element, turn the button to the position. The two exterior zones light up. To deactivate the outer part of a double/oval element, turn the button to the Off position. The two exterior zones switch off.

Residual heat indicator (if available)

After using the hob, some of the heat will remain stored up in the ceramic surface. This is the residual heat. If the residual heat level is above +60^ , the residual heat indicator of the cooking zone concerned will light up.

If the power supply to the hob is cut off while the residual heat indicator light is on, the warning light will flash when the power is restored. The display flashes until the residual heat has dropped or one of the cooking zones is activated.

Tips and advice

IMPORTANT

When the heating elements are set to the highest levels, the hot zones may switch on and off. This is because of a safety system that prevents the glass from overheating. This is normal at high temperatures, will not damage the hob and only extend cooking times very slightly.

WARNING

• Never use the hob without any cookware on the cooking zone.
• Only use flat-bottomed pans with a thick base.
• Check that the bottom of the cookware is completely dry before placing them on the hob.
• When the cooking zone is on, it is important to check that the cookware is centred on the zone.
• To save energy, do not use cookware with a different diameter from that of the cooking zone used.

Pan is too small

Pan is incorrectly positioned

WARNING

• Do not use cookware with a rough base, as it may damage the ceramic surface.
• If possible, always use a lid with the cookware.
• During use, the temperature of the accessible surfaces may be high. Keep children and pets away from the hob during use and until it has cooled down completely after use.
• If there is a crack on the hob, turn it off immediately and get it replaced by an authorised technician.

Oven controls

Function control

Turn the button to the symbol of the function you want. For the details of the different functions, refer to "Oven functions".

Oven temperature control

Once the cooking function is selected, turn this button to adjust the temperature. The oven temperature light turns on whenever the thermostat is working to heat the oven or maintain it at the required temperature setting.

Oven functions

• Oven light: Only the oven light comes on. It remains on throughout the cooking process.

• Defrost function: The oven warning lights come on and the fan starts. To use the Defrost function, place the frozen food in the oven on a tray/rack inserted on the third level from the bottom. It is recommended to place a drip pan under the defrosting food to catch the water from the melted ice. This function does not cook your food, but simply accelerates defrosting.

• Natural convection function: The thermostat light and the oven indicator light will come on and the upper and lower heating elements will start to heat up. The Static heat function emits heat that cooks the food evenly. It is ideal for pastries, cakes, pasta gratins, lasagne and pizzas. It is recommended to preheat the oven for 10 minutes and to use only one level at a time in this mode.

• Fan function: The thermostat light and the oven warning lights come on, the top and bottom heating elements start to heat up and the fan starts. This function is suitable for baking pastries. The cooking process is carried out by the upper and lower heating elements of the oven and by the fan which circulates the air, giving the food a slightly "grilled" appearance. It is recommended to preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

• Fan with bottom heat function: The temperature light and the oven warning lights come on, the bottom heating element starts to heat up and the fan starts to turn. The Fan with bottom heat function is suitable for evenly cooking food like pizza with a short cooking time. The fan distributes the heat evenly throughout the oven, while the bottom element cooks the food. It is recommended to preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

• Grill function: The thermostat light and the oven indicator light come on and the grill element starts to heat up. This function is used to toast and broil food placed on the upper levels of the oven. Lightly oil the wire rack with a brush to prevent food from sticking, then put the food in the centre of the rack. Always place a drip pan under the grill to catch oil or grease. It is recommended to preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

WARNING

When broiling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature set to 190^ .

• Express Grill function: The thermostat light and the oven warning lights come on and the grill and top heater start to heat up. This function is recommended for grilling food more quickly over a larger surface area (e.g.: meat). Use the top level. Lightly oil the wire rack with a brush to prevent food from sticking, then put the food in the centre of the rack. Always place a drip pan under the grill to catch oil or grease. It is recommended to preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

WARNING

When broiling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature set to 190^ C .

• Double grill with fan function: The thermostat light and oven warning lights come on, the grill and upper heating elements start to heat up and the fan starts. This function is recommended for grilling thicker food faster and over a larger area. The upper heating elements and the grill work simultaneously with the fan to ensure even cooking. Use the top level. Lightly oil the wire rack with a brush to prevent food from sticking, then put the food in the centre of the rack. Always place a drip pan under the grill to catch oil or grease. It is recommended to preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

WARNING

When broiling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature set to 190^ C .

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

WARNING

Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning.

General instructions

• Check that the cleaning products are suitable and recommended by their manufacturer before using them on the appliance.
• Use particle-free cream or liquid cleaners. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough steel wool or hard tools, as they may damage the cooker's surfaces.

WARNING

Do not use cleaners that contain particles, as they could scratch the glass, or the enamelled and/or painted parts of the appliance.

• If some liquid spills over, immediately wipe it up to avoid damaging the parts.

WARNING

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of this appliance.

Cleaning the inside of the oven

• Preferably clean the inside of the enamelled oven when it is hot.
• Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked in soapy water after each use. Then, wipe the oven again with a damp cloth and dry it.
• You may need to occasionally use a liquid cleaning product to completely clean the oven.

Catalytic cleaning

• The oven has catalytic panels installed inside the cavity. These are the light coloured matte panels on the sides and/or the matte panel at the back of the oven. They work by collecting any grease and oil residues during cooking.
• The liner self-cleans by absorbing the grease and oil, and burning them to ashes, which can then be easily removed from the bottom of the oven with a damp cloth. The liner must be porous to remain effective. The liner may discolour with age.
• If a large amount of grease has been spilled on the liner, it may diminish its effectiveness. To overcome this problem, set the oven to maximum heat for about 20 to 30 minutes. Once the oven has cooled down, wipe the bottom of the oven.
• It is not advisable to clean the catalytic liners manually. Using a pad of steel wool filled with soap or any other abrasive product will damage the product. Furthermore, we do not recommend using spray cleaners on the liners. The walls of a catalytic coating can become ineffective when covered with too much grease. Excess grease can be removed with a soft cloth or sponge moistened with warm water, and the cleaning can be done as described above.

Removing the catalytic coating

To remove the catalytic coating, remove the screws that secure each catalytic panel to the oven.

Cleaning the ceramic glass

Ceramic glass can bear the weight of heavy utensils but may break when struck by a sharp object.

WARNING

Ceramic hobs: If the surface is cracked, turn off the appliance to avoid the risk of an electric shock and contact the maintenance department.

• Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the ceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.

WARNING

Do not use steel cleaning products as these may damage the glass.

• If substances with a low melting point are used in the base or on the coatings, they can damage the ceramic hob. If any plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or sweet food items fall onto the ceramic hob while it is hot, remove it as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the ceramic hob. When cooking very sweet dishes, like jam, cover the hob with a suitable protective product beforehand if possible.
• Dust on the surface should be wiped off with a damp cloth.

C Useful information

• Any change in the colour of the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and is not the result of a change in the material.

A change in the colour of the ceramic glass can be caused by a number of factors:

1. Spilled food that was not wiped off the surface.
2. Using incorrect dishes on the hob will wear out the surface.
3. Using unsuitable cleaning products.

Cleaning the glass parts

• Regularly clean the enamelled parts of the appliance.
• Use a window cleaner to clean the inside and outside of the glass parts. Then, rinse and dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the enamelled parts

• Regularly clean the enamelled parts of the appliance.
• Wipe the enamelled parts with a soft cloth dipped in soapy water. Then, wipe them again with a damp cloth and dry them.

WARNING

• Do not clean the enamelled parts that are still hot after cooking.
• Do not leave any vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the enamel for too long.

Cleaning the stainless steel parts (if applicable)

• Regularly clean the stainless steel parts of the appliance.
• Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth dampened with water only. Then, dry the glass thoroughly with a dry cloth.

WARNING

• Do not clean the stainless steel parts while they are still hot after cooking.
• Do not leave any vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the stainless steel for too long.

Cleaning the painted surfaces (if applicable)

• Stains from tomatoes, tomato paste, ketchup, lemon, oil derivatives, milk, sugary foods, sugary drinks and coffee should be wiped off immediately with a cloth dipped in warm water. If these stains are not wiped away and dried from the surfaces they are on, do NOT scrub them with hard objects (sharp objects, steel and plastic scrubbers, dish sponge which will damage the surface) or cleaning products containing high levels of alcohol, stain removers, grease removers or abrasive surface chemicals. Otherwise, corrosion may occur on the powder-coated surfaces, and stains may appear. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damage caused by the use of inappropriate products or cleaning methods.

Removing the oven door

Before cleaning the glass of the oven door, the internal glass must be removed as follows:

1. Open the oven door.

1. Fully open the saddle support (a) (with a screwdriver) until it stops.

1. Close the door until it is almost fully closed and remove it by pulling it towards you.
