! 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 produce a slightly unpleasant odour caused by the burning away of protective substances used during the manufacturing process

Starting the oven

1 Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2 Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking Modes).
3: When preheating is finished the THERMOSTAT indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4: You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob
stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to avoid damaging the enamel coating
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided

Oven light

It goes on when selecting with the SELECTOR knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60^ and Max' except for

• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200^ )

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

MULTI COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top and bottom) 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.

TOPOVENDe

The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

GRILL mode

The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks' veal' rib steak' fillets' hamburgers etc. Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cooking Advice" paragraph. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed

GRATIN mode

The top heating element as well as the fan will 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

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 and GRATIN cooking modes' 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:

GRILL

• 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

• For best results when cooking pizza use the MULTI-COOKING 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.

Type of hob

The oven is combined with a hob that can be made up of two types of heating elements: cast iron electric plates (see diagram 1) or glass ceramic hobs (see diagram 2).

Switching on the glass ceramic hob

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^ , even after the heating element has been switched off

Recommended power levels for various types of cooking:

Setting	Normal or Fast Plate
0 Off
1 Cooking vegetables, fish
2	Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups, chickpeas, beans.
3	Continuing the cooking of large quantities of food, minestrone
4	For roasting (average)
5 For	roasting (above average)
6	For browning and reaching a boil in a short time.

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:
