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.

The oven will automatically reach the temperature

set, and the thermostat, which is controlled by the

SELECTOR knob, will keep it constant.

The top heating element comes on. This mode can

be used to brown food at the end of cooking. Always

cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

Practical cooking advice

in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in

the centre of the rack.

• The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat

and may not always be on.

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan

(prevents crust from forming by extending cooking

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend

adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza

halfway through the cooking process.

Traditional cooking zones Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular heating elements. They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been turned on.Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you to select from 6 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 6. Residual heat indicator lights* The indicator lights (C) indicate that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zones have exceeded 60°C, even after the heating element has been switched off. Recommended power levels for various types of

Practical advice on using the glass

ceramic hob ! The glue that is applied on the gaskets leaves some traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you eliminate 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.To obtain the best results with your hob:• Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly.• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself.• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware on it because as it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum level, it could damage the heating elements.diagram 2diagram 1

appliance is switched on by mistake, it could catch fire.

• Always make sure the knobs are in the “”/“

when the appliance is not in use.

• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from

the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

• Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work without

having unplugged the plug from the mains.

• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances

should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause

injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a

Service Centre (see Assistance).

• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks,

but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object

such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance

from the electricity mains immediately and contact a

• Remember that the temperature of the cooking zones

remains relatively high for at least thirty minutes after they

have been switched off.

• Keep any object that could melt away from the hob, for

example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with

a high sugar content. Keep plastic or aluminium objects

away from the hob: if you forget them on surfaces that are

still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.

• 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

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing

packaging material for recycling purposes. Observe

existing legislation when disposing of the old appliance.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old

household electrical appliances must not be disposed

of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old

appliances must be collected separately in order to

optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they

contain and reduce the impact on human health and the

environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on

the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you

dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer

for information concerning the correct disposal of their old

Respecting and conserving the environment

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the

GRILL mode to attain best results and to save energy

(approximately 10%).

• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven

and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little

as possible because heat is lost every time it is

opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,

simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the

end of your planned cooking time and use the heat

the oven continues to generate.

• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door

• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay

cooking” option will make it easier to save money by

moving operation to cheaper time periods.15

GB Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Cleaning the appliance • The stainless-steel or enamel-coated external parts as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. If these stains are difficult to remove, use only specialised products. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.• Ideally, the inside of the oven should be cleaned after each use, when it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.• The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. Cleaning the oven door 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.To clean more thoroughly, you can remove the oven door.1. Open the oven door fully (see diagram).2. lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two hinges; (see diagram).3. Grip the door on the two external sides and close it approximately half way. Unlock the door by pressing on the clamps F, then pull the door towards you lifting it out of its seat (see diagram).To replace the door, reverse this sequence.Inspecting the sealsCheck the door seals around the oven periodically. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre (see Assistance). We recommend not using the oven until the seals have been replaced. Replacing the light bulb To replace the oven light bulb:1. Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: Wattage 25 W, cap E 14.3. Replace the glass cover (see diagram). Assistance Communicating:• appliance model (Mod.)• serial number (S/N)This information is found on the data plate located on the appliance and/or on the packaging.

F F Maintenance and care ! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate. If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can be difficult to remove.• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption• Use purely flat pots and pans• If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and saves a third of the energy.16
