6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in

operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at which it was interrupted, provided that the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed. ! There is no preheating stage for the ROASTING modes. ! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged. ! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided. Cooling ventilation In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door. At the beginning of the PYROLYTIC cycle, the cooling fan operates at low speed. ! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. Oven light When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time by opening the oven door.

Only available in certain models. WARNING! The oven is provided with a stop sys- tem to extract the racks and prevent them from coming out of the oven.(1) As shown in the drawing, to extract them comple- tely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).24

Manual cooking modes ! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 40°C and 250°C as desired. In the SPIT ROAST mode, the default power level value is 270°C. TRADITIONAL OVEN mode When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. MULTILEVEL mode Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. ROASTING mode This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. SPIT ROAST mode The function is ideal for rotisserie spit cooking. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. LOW TEMPERATURE modes This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65, 90 °C. Spit roast To operate the spit roast function (see diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping

support in position 3 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Start the spit roast

function by selecting the symbols. ! When this mode is enabled, the rotisserie spit will stop if the door is opened. Automatic cooking modes ! The temperature and cooking duration are pre- set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. The cooking duration may be modified by a period of several minutes, as specified in the description of the individual functions below. PIZZA mode Use this function to make pizza. Please see the following chapter for further details. It will only be possible to adjust the duration by -5/+5 minutes.

• Mix flour and salt in a large bowl.

• Dilute yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).

• Make a small well in the mound of flour.

• Pour in water and yeast mixture.

• Knead dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky.

• Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Select the manual LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should double in volume).

• Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.

• Place them in the dripping pan on oven paper.

• Cover the loaves with flour.

! 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 COOKING ZONE ON indicator light is lit, this shows that at least one pf the cooking zones on the hob is switched on. Cooking zones The hob is equipped with electric heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red. The hob is equipped with electric hilite heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red. A. The cooking zone with radiant heating elements. B.The cooking zone with a hilite heating element. 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. Cooking zones with hilite heating elements These emit heat via radiation from the hilite lamps they contain. They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to actually see the power they are providing. Description of the heating elements The circular radiant heating elements become red 10 - 20 seconds after they have been switched on. The circular hilite heating elements guarantee even heat distribution in addition to the usual advantages that hilite heating elements bring. Hilite lamps emit high levels of heat and light as soon as they are switched on, offering the following practical advantages:

• rapid heating (in relation to a gas burner)

• even temperature across the whole surface (due to the circular heating elements). They are similar to the other cooking zones on the hob and are therefore easy to use. To ensure you use the hob correctly, all you need to do is consult the cooking tables in the instruction booklet. 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 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 remain effective 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.

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

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the SPIT ROAST and ROASTING modes. this will achieve improved results while saving 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.

• Automatic programmes are based on standard food product.

• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy losses

• 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.30

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:

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.

• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.

• 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.GB

Automatic cleaning using the PYROLYTIC cycle During the PYROLYTIC cycle, the internal temperature of the oven reaches 500°C. The pyrolytic cycle is activated and burns away food and grime residues. Dirt is literally incinerated. Keep children away from the appliance during the automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven as a result of the combustion process. There is no cause for concern: this process is both normal and hazard-free. Before initiating the PYROLYTIC CYCLE:

• Remove large or coarse food residues from the inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not use detergents.

• Remove all accessories.

• Do not place tea towels or pot holders over the oven handle.

• Turn the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position. ! If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not start. Wait for the oven to cool down. ! The programme may only be started once the oven door has been closed. To activate the PYROLITIC CYCLE cleaning procedure, press and hold the button for approximately 4 seconds. The TIMER KNOB may be used to select the desired cleaning level; there are three default time settings which cannot be modified.

1. Economy (ECO): turn the knob towards “-”. Duration

2. Normal (NOR): initial level. Duration 1 hour and 30

3. Intensive (INT): turn the knob towards “+”. Duration
