3.6 Ventilation in rooms with gas appliances

This appliance is not connected to an exhaust device for products of combustion. It must therefore be installed and connected in compliance with current installation standards. Pay particular attention to standards applied to room aeration.

This appliance is not connected to an exhaust device for products of combustion. Ventilation must be in accordance with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In general, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits. Pay particular attention to standards applied to room aeration.

This appliance can only be installed in ventilated rooms, according to current standards, so as to allow, with openings onto external walls or appropriate ducts, for correct natural or forced ventilation that permanently and sufficiently ensures both the air intake necessary for correct combustion and the expelling of vitiated air. It is recommended that the appliance have a rangehood fitted directly above or ceiling fan in close proximity to the appliance.

Using a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Ensure good room ventilation: keep natural ventilation grilles open or install a mechanical ventilation device (ducted extraction hood). Intensive and prolonged appliance use may require supplementary ventilation, for example, opening a window, more effective ventilation, or increasing the extraction hood power, if installed.

If this is the only gas appliance in the room, it is necessary to install a hood so as to expel vitiated air naturally and directly, with a rectilinear vertical duct at least twice as long as its diameter and having a minimum section of at least 100 cm

For the essential air intake into the room, it is necessary to prepare a similar opening of at least 100 cm

that communicates directly outside, situated close to floor level so as not to be obstructed from either inside or outside and so as not to disturb the combustion of the burners and the correct expelling of vitiated air and with a height difference from the exit opening of at least 180 cm.

Remember that the quantity of air necessary for combustion must not be lower than 2 m

/h per kW of power (see total power in kW shown on the appliance plate). In all other cases, i.e. when other gas appliances are present in the same room, or, if it is not possible to have natural direct ventilation, it is necessary to create natural, indirect ventilation or forced ventilation: for this type of operation, it is necessary to contact a qualified technician for installing and creating the ventilation system in strict compliance with the guidelines set out in current standards. The openings should be positioned so as not to allow the formation of any unpleasant air current for the occupants. Furthermore, it is forbidden to use flues already used by other appliances to expel products of combustion. electric fanInstructions for the installer

The appliance's setting conditions are stated on the plate on the back of the appliance. Gas-powered devices for home use, which are not connected to a conduit for the evacuation of combustion products, must not cause a concentration of carbon monoxide that could pose a health risk to the persons exposed in relation to the time of exposure.

We recommend checking that the appliance is properly set up for the type of gas distributed. The connection to the gas pipes must be made in a workmanlike manner, in compliance with current standards that prescribe the installation of a safety tap at the end of the pipe. The threaded ½" gas connection pipe is located at the rear on the right hand side of the appliance.

The appliance is factory set for Natural gas. The test point pressure should be adjusted to 1.00kPa with the Wok and Semi-Rapid burners operating at maximum on 120cm models and the Wok burner operating at maximum on 90cm models.

For butane and propane, a pressure reducer conforming to standards regulations in force should be prepared. The seals must conform to standards regulations in force. Once the gas has been connected, check the seal of the unions with a soap and water solution.

For propane a pressure regulator set to provide a supply pressure of 2.75kPa conforming to standards regulations in force should be fitted. The seals must conform to standards regulations in force. Fit the test point assembly supplied with the appliance to the gas connection when installing for use with Propane Gas. Once the gas has been connected, check the seal of the unions with a soap and water solution.

It is possible to connect the gas in the following ways:

• using iron or copper rigid pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1;

• using a Plumbezy flexible hose, AGA approval number 6196, 10mm ID, class D and between 1-1.2m long in accordance with AG601 for a "high level connection". For cookers supplied with a flexible hose the restraining chain fitted to the rear of the cooker must be fixed to the wall as follows.

1. Supply fixing points on either side of the cooker (vertically in line with the chains attached)

at approxiametely 100mm above floor level.

2. Firmly secure the chains at these points.

3. Supply similar fixing points at approxiametely 700mm above floor level using open hooks.

4. Loop the chains over these hooks to prevent the cooker from accidentally tilting.

5. Removing the chains from the hooks enables the cooker to be pulled out for service. Ensure

that the chains prevent stress on the hose assembly while the cooker is in this position.Instructions for the installer

It is possible to connect the gas in the following ways:

• using iron or copper rigid pipe;

• using uninterrupted stainless steel flexible pipe with a mechanical fitting conforming to standards regulations in force (maximum length of extended pipe 2000 mm). The pipe should be connected straight to the elbow of the ramp;

• by inserting a flexible rubber pipe conforming to standards regulations in force. This pipe should be coupled straight to the rubber-holder P corresponding to the gas used, and locked with a clamp F conforming to standards regulations in force. In the latter case, check the expiry date printed on the pipe and replace it before that date.

Using flexible rubber pipes with a max. length of 1500 mm:

• do not allow the pipes to be constricted or crushed;

• pipes must not be subject to tractive force or torsional stress;

• do not allow the pipes to come into contact with cutting or sharp edges, etc...

Make sure that the flame caps, the burner caps and the pan supports are fitted correctly.

During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Caution should therefore be used. Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the cooking hob unattended while it is on.

6.1 Switching on the burners

All the hob burner knobs have the following symbols: tap closed high flame low flame The low flame setting is found by turning the knob anticlockwise all the way. All intermediate settings must be selected between the high flame and low flame, never between high flame and closed.

6.1.1 One-touch lighting

The hob burners are equipped with a "one-touch" lighting system. To switch on one of the burners, press the knob corresponding to the required burner and turn it anticlockwise to the low setting . Hold down the knob to activate the automatic "one-touch" lighting system. When the burner is on, hold down the knob for approximately 10 seconds, to allow the safety valve to open. In the event of a power cut, the burner can also be lit with a match (see section “6.1.2 Manual lighting”).

Should the burner switch off accidentally, the safety thermocouple blocks the gas flow, even when the tap is open.

The device should not been activated for longer than 15 seconds. If after that time it fails to operate stop pressing the knob, open the window and wait 1 minute before trying again. In case the flame goes out accidentally turn off the knob and do not try to switch on the burner for at least 1 minute.

To light one of the burners, move a lit match towards the burner, press the corresponding knob and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum setting . Release the knob.

6.2 Switching off the burners

At the end of the cooking, return the knob to position .

6.3 Abnormal Operation

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:

• Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

• Sooting up of cooking utensils.

• Burners not igniting properly.

• Burners failing to remain alight.

• Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.

• Gas valves, which are difficult to turn. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact the authorised service provider in your area.Instructions for the user

The hob is equipped with one radiant generator per cooking zone. Each generator located below the glass ceramic cooking surface generates an electromagnetic field that induces a thermal current in the base of the pan. In induction cooking, heat is not transmitted from a heat source, but created by inductive currents directly inside the pan.

Advantages of induction cooking:

• Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan, compared with traditional electric or gas cooking.

• Safer thanks to the transmission of energy solely to the pan rested on the hob.

• Highly efficient energy transmission from the induction cooking zone to the base of the pan.

• Rapid heating speed.

• Reduced risk of burns, since the cooking surface is heated solely at the base of the pan.

• Spilt food does not stick to the surface of the hob.

Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.

Before connecting the appliance to the mains, ensure it has been standing at room temperature for at least 2 hours.

People with a pacemaker or other similar devices must ensure that the operation of their devices is not jeopardised by the induction field, the frequency range of which is between 20 and 50 kHz. Do not wear metal objects or necklaces in direct contact with the body. When entering the radiating field of the induction hob, they may overheat with an ensuing risk of scalding. Non-magnetisable metals (e.g. gold or silver) do not carry this risk. Objects with a magnetic strip (credit cards, swipe cards, floppy discs, etc.) must not be left near the appliance while it is on. Do not heat canned food or other sealed containers. The pressure that builds up inside the container during cooking may cause it to explode. Do not place metal objects such as cookware or cutlery on the surface of the hob as they can overheat, with an ensuing risk of scalding. Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. this is supposed to become very hot and catch fire. Do not use the glass surface of the hob as a countertop or work surface. Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot saucepan.

Any damage arising from the use of saucepans unsuitable for induction cooking, or of removable accessories between the pan and the radiant element, will void the warranty. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage to the hob or related damage arising from improper use.Instructions for the user

The maximum applicable power is distributed among the active radiant elements, the last power level set takes priority over the previous settings on the other radiant elements. Power is distributed automatically among the three radiant elements on the left (A) and the two on the right (B).

When using several radiant elements simultaneously, the last activated element may maintain the set value to the detriment of the other previously set elements, which may then be affected by a reduction in power. On activating the last radiant element, the values on the displays of the previously set elements, will start to flash, automatically showing the new lower power level supplied. If the heating value of any of the radiant elements is manually reduced, the difference in power will be redistributed among the remaining elements.

Given that cooking will continue with new, automatically reset power values, adjustments may need to be made depending on the type of food being cooked.Instructions for the user

The table below indicates the power levels that can be set and the type of food that can be cooked at each level. The values may vary depending on the quantity of food and personal taste. 1 – 2 For heating food, keeping small quantities of water on the boil, making egg- or butter- based sauces. 3 – 5 For cooking solid and liquid food, keeping water on the boil, defrosting frozen food, frying 2-3 eggs, cooking fruit and vegetables, general cooking. 6– 8 Cooking meat, fish and vegetable stews, food with more or less water, making jams, etc.

Roasting meat or fish, steak, liver, browning meat or fish, eggs, etc.

Deep fat frying potatoes etc., bringing water rapidly to the boil.

7.4 Switching on the induction hob for the first time

Clean the hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.

When the hob is first switched on the displays of all the radiant elements light up simultaneously displaying the symbols as shown in the figure; the displays will then switch off immediately without emitting any sound.

If one or more knobs is not in “0” position when the hob is first switched on, the relative displays light up as normal, but the radiant element will not work. On turning the knob, the relative display will show the adjacent symbol, signalling the radiant element failed to work. The element will only work properly again once the knob is returned to “0” position and a new power value is set.Instructions for the user

An electronic sensor detects if a pan is present or absent on the radiant element. If the type of pan is unsuitable for magnetic induction cooking (see section “7.5.1”) or if the pan is too small (see table “ MINIMUM DIAMETER ” on p. 94), the adjacent symbol is displayed. If during cooking a pan is removed from the radiant element without having first returned the relative knob to “0” position, the power value, previously set and shown on the relative display, will be automatically replaced with the symbol . If the pan is repositioned correctly on the radiant element, the symbol switches off and cooking will resume normally; otherwise, after 10 minutes, the symbol will switch off, the knob will have to be returned to “0” position and a new power value set before the radiant element can be used again. If a knob is turned to any position before placing a pan on the radiant element, the relative display shows the set power value and then immediately replaces it with the symbol (the radiant element stands by for 10 minutes). If in the meantime a pan is placed correctly on the radiant element, cooking will begin; otherwise the radiant element does not activate and symbol switches off. To reactivate the radiant element, the relative knob must be returned to “0” position and a new power value set.

Pan recognition limits: the diameter of the pan base is signalled by a circumference on the cooking zone.

7.5.1 Pans suitable for induction cooking

Manufacturers generally state whether or not their cookware is suitable for induction cooking. The adjacent pictogram indicates the kind of symbol used to denote suitability for induction cooking, usually found on the bottom of the pan.

Only use pans with perfectly flat, smooth bases suitable for induction cooking. The cookware used for induction cooking must be made of ferrous alloys or ferritic steel, be magnetisable and have a sufficiently thick base. To check whether the pan is suitable, simply hold a magnet at its base: if it is attracted the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, pour a little water into the pan, rest it on a cooking zone and turn on the hob. Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise doesn’t mean any failure on the appliance and doesn’t influence the cooking operating.

SUITABLE COOKWARE UNSUITABLE COOKWARE

• Enamelled ferritic steel cookware with thick base.

Ferrous cast iron cookware with enamelled base.

Multilayer stainless steel, stainless ferritic steel or aluminium cookware with special base for induction cooking.

Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta.

Before activating a radiant element, place a suitable pan on the relative cooking circumference.

On turning any knob clockwise, a beep is emitted and all the displays switch on; the one corresponding to the turned knob will show the selected power value, while the others will show the value On turning a second knob, no beep is emitted and the display shows the power value set for that knob.

7.6.1 Changing the power level

Each knob has a graduated scale increasing clockwise from level "0" to level "9". The heating power of the radiant elements is increased by turning any knob clockwise from “0” position, and is decreased by turning the knob anticlockwise from the position reached. The knob's default position corresponds to level "0" (value on the relative display). Turning the knob displays the selected power level on the relative display.

Turning knob clockwise beyond power level "9" will result in a click and an audible signal, which will enable the “Booster” function indicated on the display with the symbol ; then reposition the knob on level “9” (see paragraph “7.6.3”).Instructions for the user

This function enables the required power level to be reached more quickly, although it remains active for a very limited period of time. Starting from "0" position, turn the knob anticlockwise until it clicks and hold it in that position for 2 seconds; the display will light up showing the adjacent symbol. You will then have 10 seconds to turn the knob to the required power level; the display will start flashing alternating symbol with the new power level set with the knob.

The following table gives the rapid heating times to the various power levels.

Turn the knob clockwise beyond power level "9" until you hear a click and an audible signal (the display shows the adjacent symbol); then reposition the knob on level “9”. The knob must be correctly repositioned on level “9”; otherwise the symbol , shown on the display, will be replaced by error code which signals deactivation of the radiant element; to restore the radiant element, follow the instructions given in paragraph “7.6.7”. The maximum heating time with the Booster function is 10 minutes. At the end of the maximum heating time, symbol flashes for a few seconds and the power is automatically reset, displaying the value . With the Booster function activated, several consecutive cycles can be repeated.

After cooking is finished and the knob is returned to “0” position, the radiant element's display shows the adjacent symbol alternated with the value , indicating that that radiant element has just been used and is still hot. The symbol will flash for a few seconds, then will become steady and will stay on until the glass temperature has gone below the safety level.

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

The induction hob is fitted with a safety device that protects the internal electronics against overheating. This device requires no attention from the user and enables the hob to be used confidently without the risk of overheating.Instructions for the user

On turning any knob anticlockwise and keeping it in that position for more than 30 seconds, the relative display will show the adjacent symbol to indicate the radiant element is deactivated.

If the knob is not positioned correctly, the relative display will show error code which signals deactivation of the radiant element. It is not necessary to call Customer Service; to restore the radiant element, simply return the knob to position “0” and reset the required power value.

This function is advisable to disable a single radiant element if it is faulty or malfunctioning. After the radiant element has been repaired by the authorised Technical Support Service, it can be reactivated by turning the knob anticlockwise again and keeping it in that position for more than 30 seconds.

7.7 Automatic switch-off

An automatic counter counts the time elapsing since the last power variation. This determines the maximum heating duration, which varies according to the power level selected. If a radiant element is left on by mistake (with a correctly positioned pan), it will switch off automatically once the maximum heating duration for the selected power is reached.

7.8 Switching off manually

Turn all the knobs to “0” position. Each display will show a flashing dot as in the adjacent figure; after 15 seconds all the displays will switch off, a beep will be emitted and the appliance with go to stand-by.

The radiant elements can be deactivated. Turn the first two knobs on the left anticlockwise simultaneously and keep them in this position for least 2 seconds, until all the displays show symbol . After a few minutes the symbols switch off, but the radiant elements will not activate and the above-mentioned lock symbols appear on all displays if any knob is turned.

The deactivation has no time limit. A prolonged power failure may cancel this deactivation. To reactivate the radiant elements, turn the first two knobs on the left anticlockwise simultaneously.Instructions for the user

7.10 In the event of faults and failures

If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying. Do not attempt to use a faulty radiant element until it is repaired by the authorised Technical Support Service. Any repairs must be carried out exclusively by qualified personnel. Do not open the appliance for any reason. If the glass surface is damaged, switch off the appliance immediately to prevent the risk of electric shocks and contact the Technical Support Service.

If a radiant element is faulty, the remaining elements can still be used normally. To clear the error code from the displays, set all the knobs to “0” position and set new power values.

The following list includes the most frequent failures, the causes of which can be removed by the user or via the Technical Support Service.

The hob or the cooking zones do not switch on. The appliance is not correctly connected to the mains. The hob lock function has been activated.

Reconnect the appliance to the mains.

Deactivate the lock by following the instructions in

The display shows the adjacent symbol. There is no pan on the cooking zone.

The pan is not suitable for magnetic induction cooking. The diameter of the base of the pan is too small for the cooking zone. Correctly position a suitable pan by following the instructions in section 7.5 Replace the pan with a suitable one, as indicated in section 7.5 Replace the pan with a suitable one, as indicated in section 7.5

The display shows the adjacent symbol. The knob is not positioned correctly. It is not necessary to call Customer Service; to restore the radiant element, simply return the knob to position “0” and reset the required power value.

The display shows the adjacent code alternated with numbers or letters. Contact Customer Service and give the code shown on the display. The hob or a cooking zone switches off. The safety device has triggered. The device triggers when a cooking zone is left on by mistake. An empty pan has overheated. Return the relative knob to “0” position.

Remove the empty pan from the cooking zone. The cooling fan stays on after the hob is switched off. This is not a fault. The fan stays on until the hob has cooled down. The fan will switch off automatically.Instructions for the user

8.1 General warnings

When the oven or grill is operating, the outer walls and oven door can become very hot. Keep children away from the appliance. Do not allow children to sit on the oven door or play with it. Do not use the door as a stool. Never stand aluminium pots or foil on the base of the oven, as this may seriously damage the oven enamel.

Do not cook food on the bottom of the oven. When using the oven for the first time, or after a power cut, the display flashes regularly indicating . To set the display, refer to section "SETTING THE TIME” on page 83. Do not attempt to disassemble the oven door without consulting the relative instructions carefully (refer to section “11.1 Removing the oven door”): the hinges on the oven door may injure the hands.

If during normal operation the oven interrupts heating and the programmer display begins to flash and goes to zero, check whether:

there has been a current interruption. If the block occurs again after the cooking programme has been restarted, this means that the safety device has been tripped. This device intervenes in the event of a thermostat fault and prevents oven overheating. In such case, we recommend that you not try to light the oven again and that you contact your nearest service centre.

8.2 Storage drawer (only available on certain models)

The cookers are fitted with a storage drawer below the oven. Only store the cooker's metallic accessories in the storage drawer.

The drawer becomes hot while the oven is in use; avoid contact with the internal parts to prevent scalding. Do not store inflammable material such as cloths, paper or similar in the storage drawer.

8.3 Risk of condensation

• Some cooking with high water content combined with the use of certain functions can cause the formation of condensation on the door's inner glass. To prevent this occurring, open the oven door for a few seconds once or twice while cooking.

• Do not leave food to cool in the oven after cooking to prevent condensation forming on the door's inner glass, which may drip out of the oven when the door is opened.Instructions for the user

8.4 Using the electric multifunction

The end of cooking display and the control knobs on the main oven have no bearing on the operation of the auxiliary oven.

8.4.1 Switching on the oven for the first time

The first time it is used, the oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the oven, heat to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped.

To prevent any steam in the oven from scalding, proceed as follows: turn the function switch knob to , or to function ; open the door in two stages: hold it partly open (approx. 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. Should you need to adjust the food, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature inside the oven from lowering to such an extent as to jeopardise cooking.

8.4.2 Traditional cooking

Turn the function switch knob to position and the thermostat knob in correspondence with the required temperature value. For differentiated heating over or below the food, set the function selector switch to position (hot above) or (hot below). For more uniform heating throughout the oven, turn the function switch knob to position .

The oven is equipped with an automatic cooling system regulated by the temperature of the door. When the limit temperature is reached, the cooling fan automatically activates and then deactivates when the temperature of the door goes below the preset limit. The cooling fan may stay on after the oven has turned off. In case that does not happen, switch off the appliance and contact the Technical Service immediately.

8.5 Using the auxiliary oven with natural convection

The end of cooking display and the control knobs on the main oven have no bearing on the operation of the auxiliary oven.

The auxiliary oven with natural convection is equipped with:

• a heating element positioned on the base of the oven (at the bottom);

• a heating element positioned on the ceiling of the oven (at the top) + grill.

8.5.1 Switching on the auxiliary oven for the first time

The first time it is used, the auxiliary oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the oven, heat the auxiliary oven to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped. To start heating the auxiliary oven, select the temperature (100÷260) or the required function by turning the thermostat knob.

9. Cooking suggestions

Recipient diameter (in cm) Rapid from 24 to 26 Semi rapid from 16 to 22 Auxiliary from 8 to 14 Triple-ring from 24 to 26

The diameter of the base of cooking recipients should fit the diameter of the burner used (see adjacent table). The burner flame must never be wider than the diameter of the recipient. Use recipients with a flat base. Where possible use pots with a lid, as this allows less power to be used. To reduce cooking times for vegetables, potatoes, etc., use little water.

For best cooking results and energy saving, only use cookware suitable for induction cooking. The diameter of the base of the cookware must be the same as the diameter of the circle on the cooking zone (section “7.5”); if they do not match energy will be wasted. The base of the cookware must be ferrous alloy or ferritic steel and perfectly flat. It must also be perfectly clean and dry, as must the glass in the cooking zone. Do not use pans with a rough, scratched or damaged base, as they may scratch the hob surface.

Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones. These may cause breaks or other alterations of the glass ceramic surface by cooling. Before cooking sugary foods, it is advisable to treat the glass ceramic surface with a specific silicone-based product to protect the hob surface from any burned-on food residue. Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hob. Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic hob. Sand or other abrasive materials may damage the ceramic glass. The glass may be scratched if pans are placed on top of abrasive residue. Scratches do not, however, affect the operation of induction cooking. Make sure the appliance fan is working correctly.

9.3 Suggestions for using the oven correctly

The oven allows to optimise cooking. It is possible to cook traditionally, with convection and with the grill. The oven door should be completely closed for all types of cooking.

9.3.1 Traditional cooking

With this type of cooking, the heat comes from the top and the bottom. It is therefore preferable to use the central guides. If the cooking requires a hotter temperature from the bottom or from the top, use the lower or upper guides. Traditional cooking is recommended for all food that requires high cooking temperatures, or long brazing times. This system is also recommended when cooking with recipients made of terracotta, porcelain and similar materials.Instructions for the user

9.3.2 Convection cooking

With this type of cooking, the food is heated by preheated air that is circulated in the oven thanks to a fan located on the rear wall of the oven. Heat rapidly and evenly reaches all parts of the oven, thus enabling different food to be cooked at the same time on different shelves. Humidity is eliminated from the air and the drier area prevents odours and flavours from being spread and mixed. The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf allows you to cook many different dishes at the same time. Biscuits and mini pizzas can be cooked in three different baking tins. The oven, however, can also be used for cooking on a single shelf. The lower shelves can be used so that it is easier to monitor cooking. Convection cooking is particularly convenient for bringing frozen food rapidly back to room temperature, for sterilising preserves or home-made fruit in syrup and, finally, for drying mushrooms or fruit.

9.3.3 Cooking with the grill

The heat comes from the top. Almost all meat can be grilled, with the exception of lean game and dishes such as meat-loaf. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly drizzled with oil and placed on the grid bars, which should be placed in the guides closest to or farthest away from the grill element, depending on the thickness of the meat, so as to avoid burning the surface and cooking too little inside. Suitable for: relatively thin meat; toasted sandwiches.

Position the grill pan on the lowest level to collect the juices and fat; pour one glass of water into the grill pan to prevent smoke forming due to fat overheating.

9.3.4 Cooking with the ventilated grill

Using the combination of grill and fan. This type of cooking allows the heat to penetrate gradually inside the food, even though the surface is directly exposed to the grill. Suitable for: thicker meat; game-birds.

9.3.5 Cooking meat and fish

Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kg. Very tender red meat to be cooked rare (roast beef, fillet, etc.), or which should be well cooked on the outside and preserve all its juices on the inside, require cooking on high temperatures for a short time (200-250°C). White meat, game- birds and fish require cooking on low temperatures (150-175°C). The ingredients for the sauce should only be placed in the baking tin if the cooking time is short, otherwise, they should be added in the last half hour. Meat can be placed on an ovenproof plate or directly on the grid bars, below which the dripping pan should be placed to collect the juice. Press the meat with a spoon to check if it is done. If it is firm, it is cooked. At the end of the cooking, wait at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat so as not to lose the juices. Before serving, plates can be warmed in the oven at minimum temperature.

Beaten mixtures must stick to the spoon because excess fluidity would prolong the cooking time. Sweets require moderate temperatures (generally between 150-200°C) and require preheating (approximately 10 minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least ¾ of the way through the cooking time.Instructions for the user

9.3.7 Recommended cooking tables

Cooking times vary according to the nature, homogeneity and volume of the food. We recommend monitoring your first attempts and checking the results, as similar results are obtained by cooking the same dishes in the same conditions. The following three tables (I, II and III) provide guidelines.

• The times refer to cooking on one shelf only; for more than one shelf increase the time by 5-10'.

• The cooking times do not include preheating which takes approximately 15'.
• When cooking on more than one shelf, the guides are given in the preferential position.
• For beef, veal, pork and turkey roasts, either with bone or rolled, increase the time by 20'. TABLE OF COOKING TIMES WITH GRILL AND VENTILATED GRILL (II) TRADITIONAL GRILLING

Warning: Servicing should be carried out only by authorised personnel.

Do not clean the surfaces of the appliance when they are still hot. Use only suitable detergents to clean the surfaces of the appliance. The manufacturer declines all responsibility and is not liable for damage arising from the use of unsuitable and/or other detergents than those indicated. Do not use pressure or steam spray guns to clean the appliance.

10.1 Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use a solution of warm water and vinegar or neutral soap. Pour the solution onto a damp cloth and wipe the steel surface, in the direction of the satin finish, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not under any circumstances use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers that may damage the surfaces. Only use non-scratch, non-abrasive sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic utensils.

10.2 Cleaning the enamelled surfaces

Clean with a non-scratch, non-abrasive sponge dampened with neutral soap and water. Grease stains can easily be eliminated with hot water or a product specifically made for cleaning enamel. Rinse carefully and dry with a soft cloth or a piece of deerskin. Do not use products containing abrasives, scouring pads, steel wool or acid, which may spoil the surfaces. Do not leave acid or alkaline substances on the enamel (lemon juice, vinegar, salt, etc.).

10.3 Cleaning the polished surfaces

Clean with a non-abrasive, scratchproof sponge dampened with warm water and neutral soap or with a standard detergent for polished surfaces. Rinse and dry carefully with a soft cloth. Abrasive pastes, coarse wire pads, steel wool or acid will damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol.

10.4 Cleaning the wooden surfaces, accessories and parts

We recommend using cleaning products normally available on the market. These products ensure the wood is preserved over time. If these products are not available, we recommend removing the dirt as soon as possible using a cloth dampened with water and neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Remove the larger incrustations and more stubborn residues using a scratch-resistant scraper for wood or a special sponge designed for delicate surfaces. Do not under any circumstances use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers that may damage the surfaces. Do not wash wooden accessories and parts in the dishwasher.

10.6 Cleaning the grids and burners

To clean the grids and hob burners, remove them from their housing by lifting them upwards as shown in the figure, and immerse them in a solution of warm water and non-abrasive neutral detergent for about ten minutes. Rinse and dry carefully. Do not wash the burners or the plates in the dishwasher. Always check that none of the burner openings is clogged. Be sure to refit the burner correctly, checking the flame is uniform. We recommend carrying out this operation at least once a week and each time it is necessary.

10.7 Cleaning the igniter plugs and thermocouples

In order for the igniter plugs and thermocouples to operate correctly, they must be kept clean at all times. Check them frequently and, if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Any dry residue should be removed with a toothpick or needle, taking care not to damage the insulating ceramic part.

10.8 Cleaning the induction hob

The induction hob requires no special maintenance or cleaning. If burned-on food residues remain near the cooking zone after cooking, remove them using a scratch-resistant scraper, rinse with water and dry well with a dry cloth. Regular use of the scraper avoids the use of chemical cleaning products. Before moving or sliding pans onto the hob, ensure that there are no crumbs or impurities that may cause scratches. Do not use abrasive sponges or detergents. Avoid using aggressive chemical products, such as oven cleaning sprays, stain-proof products or other products such as bathroom or all-purpose cleaners.

Take care that the hot glass ceramic hob does not come into contact with plastic, aluminium foil, sugar or food containing sugar. These substances can damage the surface of the hob and should be removed immediately using a scratch-resistant scraper. Before cooking sugary foods, it is advisable to treat the glass ceramic surface with a specific silicone-based product to protect the hob surface from any burned-on food residue.Instructions for the user

To clean the surface of the glass ceramic hob, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the larger incrustations and

more stubborn residues using a scratch- resistant scraper or a special sponge designed for delicate surfaces.

2. Wait for the hob surface to cool down

completely, pour a few drops of detergent and rub with kitchen roll or a clean cloth. Alternatively, use a special sponge designed for delicate surfaces.

3. Wipe over the hob surface with a damp

cloth, or with the dry side of a special sponge.

10.9 Cleaning the oven

In order to preserve the oven well, it should be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible, after leaving it to cool: in this way it is possible to remove any residue more easily, preventing it from burning the next time the oven is used. Clean the stainless steel parts and enamelled parts as described in the corresponding sections “10.1 Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces” and “10.2 Cleaning the enamelled surfaces”. Take out all the removable parts and wash them separately. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

10.9.1 Cleaning the oven walls

Never use detergent products to clean this type of oven. The walls of the oven can be cleaned using white vinegar and wiped with a cloth dampened with water. Subsequently, heat the oven for at least one hour at 150°C to facilitate cleaning. When the oven has cooled, wipe it again with a damp cloth.

10.9.2 Cleaning the oven door

We recommend always keeping the oven door clean. Use kitchen roll and on tougher dirt use a damp cloth and household detergent.

Spray products for cleaning the oven must not be used to clean the fan and the thermostat sensor inside the oven compartment.Instructions for the user

Periodically, it is necessary to maintain or replace some parts that are subject to wear and tear. Specific instructions are given below for each type of maintenance.

Before carrying out maintenance, switch off the power supply to the appliance and close the gas tap.

11.1 Removing the oven door

The oven door can be completely removed to enable more thorough cleaning.

Though this operation is possible, it should not be performed by everyone, as it requires the strength to hold up the door and a minimum of expertise to re-fit it. If you are not sure of being able to do this, we recommend that you clean the door without taking it off or, in special cases, that you contact the nearest authorised service centre. To remove the door, proceed as follows:

• open the oven door and release the safety catches of the hinges by turning the respective pins A (one for each hinge) backward;

• partially close the door until there is no more load tension on the springs (the door will form an angle of about 30°);

• using both hands, accompany the movement of the door towards closure and simultaneously lift it upward;

• turn the lower part of the door towards the outside to free the hinges B from their seats.

The inner glass can be removed for more thorough cleaning.

• loosen screw C by half a turn to enable the catch to be lifted from right to left;

• lift the two catches and slide out the inner glass;

• to refit the glass, follow the above instructions in reverse order.Instructions for the user

To clean the area between the outer glass and the intermediate glass, use a soft brush in the space between the glass panels, as shown on p. 109. To refit the door, follow the instructions on p. 109 in reverse order. When the hinges B are back in their seats, open the door all the way and re-fit the safety catches of the hinges, lowering the respective pins A (one for each hinge).

CAUTION: After re-fitting the door, always be sure to re-fit the hinge safety catches.

11.2 Removing the side rack-holder frames

The rack-holder frames can be removed to clean them separately and to facilitate cleaning the oven walls. The frames are hooked to the oven wall in the three points indicated by the arrows in the figure (detail 1).

• Press downward with your fingers as shown in detail 2 of the figure to release the frame from the upper pin.

• Lift the frame upward and take it out. To re-fit proceed in the inverse direction. Set the lower part of the frame on the respective pins and press the upper part against the oven wall until it hooks onto the pin.Instructions for the user

11.3 Removing and cleaning the inside oven fan

The inside fan of the ventilated oven may require periodic cleaning. To disassemble the fan proceed as follows:

• Make sure that the power supply to the appliance is switched off.

• Remove all inside components (dripping pan, shelves).

• Loosen and remove the four screws A from the cover panel.

• Remove the cover panel B.

• Use a coin to loosen the fixing nut C of the fan (this threading is inverse; to loosen turn clockwise).

• Remove the fan D and wash it by immersing it in warm water and dish detergent. Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents, powdered products, or metal scrubbers. Rinse the fan and dry it thoroughly. Re-fit the fan and the cover by working in the inverse direction to the instructions for removal.

11.4 Replacing the oven light bulb

Before carrying out maintenance, switch off the power supply to the appliance.

• unscrew the glass safety cap anticlockwise;

• unscrew the bulb and replace it with another one for high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics: Voltage: 230 V / 50 Hz Voltage: 230 V1N~ / 50 Hz Power: 15 W Attachment: E 14
