Start-up and use ! 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. ! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the

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. Cooling ventilation In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and the oven door. ! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. Door lock device Some models are equipped with a “door lock” device situated between the control panel and the oven door. To open the door, push down device “A” indicated in the figure. A12

Cooking modes ! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and Max, except for

• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level);

• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C). 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 distribution will be uneven. 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. FAST COOKING mode The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre- packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack only. 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. PIZZA mode The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the fan 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. BARBECUE mode The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) come 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 and the rotisserie (where present) 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. Electronic timer* This function displays the time and works as a timer which counts down to zero. ! All functions will be implemented approximately 7 seconds after they have been set. Resetting the clock After the appliance has been connected to the power supply, or after a power cut, the clock display will begin to blink, showing the figure: 0:00

• Press button and then buttons - and + to set the exact time. Press and hold the buttons to quicken the count upwards. Any necessary modifications can be made by repeating the above process. Timer feature This function may be accessed by pressing the

button, after which the display will show the symbol

Every time the + button is pressed it corresponds to a time increase of 10 seconds, until it reaches 99 minutes and 50 seconds. After this point, each press of the button represents an increase of one minute, up to a maximum of 10 hours. Pressing the - button reduces the time. After the time period has been set, the timer will begin to count down. When the timer reaches zero, the

• Only available in certain models.GB

buzzer will sound (this may be stopped by pressing any button). The time may be displayed by pressing the button, and the symbol indicates that the timer function has been set. After approximately 7 seconds, the display will automatically revert to the timer. Cancelling a time that has already been set Press the – button until the display shows 0:00. Adjusting the buzzer volume After selecting and confirming the clock settings, use the – button to adjust the volume of the alarm buzzer. 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, particularly when using the rotisserie, 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.

• The Extra deep Tray should be positioned on the third runner from the bottom, when using the “static/ traditional oven” or the “lower heating element function” (where present). ! When inserting the shelf make sure the backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see image).14

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. Cooking zones The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red. A. Radiant heating zones B. Extendable radiant cooking zones C. The residual heat indicator light: this indicates that 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. Switching the cooking zones on and off 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 12 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12. Extendable cooking zones The extendable radiant elements (B) are recognisable by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can turn on only the smaller internal cooking zone or both the external and internal zones.The control knob allows you to choose between two power levels, which are both adjustable between a minimum value of 1 to a maximum of 12:• The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise from 1 to 12.• Turn the knob to completely () until you hear a slight click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn can be adjusted between 12 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position 0.For double cooking zones, the first part of the knob movement activates the smaller cooking zone (internal). To activate both (internal and external), it is necessary to turn the knob completely () and then select the desired power level between 12 and 1. Practical advice on using the hob To obtain the best results with your 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 the heat produced.

• 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 become damaged.

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. Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product. All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances. 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.

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: to attain best results and to save 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 heat dispersion.GB

Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Cleaning the appliance ! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair. ! 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 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, cap E 14.

3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the

electricity supply. ! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting 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. Assistance Please have the following information to hand:

• The appliance model (Mod.).

• The serial number (S/N). This information can be found on the data plate located on the appliance and/or on the packaging.
