GB 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 GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping pan

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.

• We recommend that you set the maximum power

level. 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.

Using the grill pan kit

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to

facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle

securely before use:

1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so the external ‘hooks’

embrace the that edge of the pan (fig. 1)

2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits

exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)

and holds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.

Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best

results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the

uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill

pan will make the collection of grease particles more

efficient and prevent the formation of smoke8

GB Using the glass ceramic hob

! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of

grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we

recommend you remove 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.

Switching the cooking zones on and off

To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding

knob in a clockwise direction.

To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise

direction until it is in the „0” position.

If the ACTIVE HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit, this

shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is switched

the temperature of the

corresponding cooking zone is

greater than 60°C, even when the heating element has

been switched off but is still hot.

Cooking zones with heating elements

The radiant heating elements are composed of circular

heating elements. They only become red after being

turned on for 10-20 seconds.

! Do not stare directly at the halogen heating elements.

Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction,

to a position between 1 and 6.

Practical advice on using the hob

• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they

adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large

enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is

completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans

adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both

the pans and the hob last for a longer period of time.

• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas

burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may

have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to

adhere to the surface correctly.

• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a

pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to

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.

• 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 heat dispersion.11

GB Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply

before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on

• 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

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts

and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a

sponge that 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 containing phosphorus.

After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any

remaining drops of water should also be dried.

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

1. After disconnecting the

oven from the electricity mains,

remove the glass lid covering

the lamp socket (see  gure).

2. Remove the light bulb and

replace it with a similar one:

voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W,

3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the

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

• 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

• 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)
