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. 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. Cooking modes Convection Mode temp. between 50°C and Max On this setting, the light comes on and the top and bottom heating elements are activated. This is the classic, traditional type oven which has perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, stews, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing meat- based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition of liquid. It still remains the best system for cooking pastries and fruit in general and when using specific covered containers for oven cooking. When cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping-pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom. Pastry Mode temp. between 50° and Max The fan will start and all of the heating elements will turn on. This provides a delicate heating process with a prevalence of heat from the bottom. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods - especially pastries that need to rise because the heat coming from the bottom helps the leavening process. Some advice:

• Always preheat the oven;

• Never place more than one dish in the oven at a time;

• The rack (unless cooking directly on the dripping- pan) should be used because it allows for better air circulation; In any case, do not leave unused dripping-pans in the oven;

• Position the rack at the third or second height from the bottom in order to take full advantage of the heat rising from the bottom of the oven; Place the pastry pan in the centre of the rack;

• Do not open the door when cooking pastries in order to prevent rapid temperature changes that could impede the cooking process and make the pastry drop. Pizza Mode temp: between 50°C and Max The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heatsGB

the oven due to the large amount of power used by the appliance (2700 W), which results in the production of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom and from forced air circulation. The pizza mode is ideal for foods which need high temperatures to cook, like pizza and large roasts. Use only one dripping-pan or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, they must be switched half way through the cooking process. Ventilation Mode temp: between 50°C and Max Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven due to the fan at the bottom, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack levels can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled, “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require an extended cooking time like lasagne etc... Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent results can also be attained when cooking vegetable like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, etc. Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the ventilated mode. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to 80°-100°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 50°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C. Top element temp: between 50°C and Max 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 high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, entrecôte, filets, hamburger etc... The “Grill” temp: between 50°C and Max This oversized grill has a completely new design, increasing cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill also eliminates pockets of unheated air in the corners of the oven. Important: Always leave the oven door closed when using the grill setting n order to achieve the best results and save on energy (about 10%). When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack heights (see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bottom of the oven. Ventilated Grill temp: between 50°C and Max This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced air circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork chops, etc. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc. In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn on (where present). Cooking with this function is especially recommended for meat dishes such as loins, poultry, etc…. Note: When using the grill, the oven door must be closed. Spit roast (only available in certain models) To operate the spit roast function (see diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in

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

! When the mode is activated, the spit will stop if the door is opened. 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. A23

Practical Cooking Advice Preheating If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods), the “pizza mode” (setting three) can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy. Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected. Cooking on More Than One Rack If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same time, use only setting “ventilated mode,” which is the only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking. The rack heights used should be the three centre ones, as the bottom and top racks receive too much direct heat, which could burn more delicate foods. If three racks are used at the same time, the food on the middle rack will take a little longer to cook. Therefore, leave it in the oven for an additional few minutes. If you are preparing a complete meal with all three racks at the same time, place the dish that calls for a lower cooking temperature (generally pastries) on the middle rack. Using the Grill The oven allows you to use two different grilling methods. Use the setting “Top Element” for small portions. Energy consumption for this feature is only 1200 W; however, it is ideal for grilling small dishes or portions, e.g. toast, frankfurters, etc. Place the food in the centre of the grill, as only the centre of the heating element is turned on. Food in the corners of the oven will not be cooked. The setting “Grill” allows you to grill along the entire surface area of the grill itself. Use this feature when you have food distributed uniformly beneath the grill and you want it to be browned evenly. Important: Always leave the oven door closed when using the grill setting n order to achieve the best results and save on energy (about 10%). When using the grill settings, it is recommended that the thermostat be set to maximum, as this is the optimal setting for the grill, which utilizes radiation produced by infrared rays. However, this does not mean that lower temperature settings cannot be used when necessary by simply turning the control knob. When using the grill, place the rack at the 4 rack heights (see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bottom of the oven. Setting “Ventilated Grill”, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part. It can also be used to grill large pieces of meat or fowl. Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process. When using this function, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom. When using this function together with the spit (only on some models), you can also cook dishes on the dripping- pan situated on the 1st rack, for example: potatoes, etc……. Baking Pastries When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red “O” light will turn off). The temperature is normally around 160°C. Do not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping. Batters must not be too runny, Cooking Pizza For best results when cooking pizza, use setting 3 “The Pizza Oven”:

• Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes;

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the broiler supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust;

• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be placed on top halfway through the cooking process. Cooking fish and meat When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C) for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point. Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the temperature and the longer the cooking time should be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below is required,GB

Oven cooking advice table WARNING! The oven is provided with a stop system to extract the racks and pre- vent them from coming out of the oven.(1) As shown in the drawing, to extract them completely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).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 ELECTRIC HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit, this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is switched on. 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. The cooking zone with radiant heating elements. B. The cooking zone with a hilite extensible heating element. C.The cooking zone with a hilite heating element D. 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 elementsthey 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/hilite heating elements become red

10 - 20 seconds after they have been switched on.

The circular radiant/hilite heating elements guarantee even heat distribution in addition to the usual advantages that radiant/hilite heating elements bring. Hilite/radiant elements 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) Practical advice on using the hob

• Use pans with a thick, fl at 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.

Precautions and tips ! This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. General safety

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to temperature fluctuations and shocks. It is, however, wise to remember that blades or cooking utensils may ruin the surface of the hob. If this happens, remove the plug of the cooker from the electricity socket and contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre in order to request original spare parts. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety of the appliance.

• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet.

• The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation of food, in accordance with the instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The manufacturer may not be held liable for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance.

• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1 (insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed between 2 cupboards) appliance.

• When the appliance is in use, the heating elements and some parts of the oven door become extremely hot. Make sure you don’t touch them and keep children well away.

• Make sure that the power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the oven.

• The openings used for the ventilation and dispersion of heat must never be covered.

• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the oven or when removing it.

• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near the appliance while it is in use.

• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is switched on accidentally, it could catch fire.

• Always make sure the knobs are in the

• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.

• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.

• If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact Assistance.

• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.

If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary precautions to prevent the cooker from sliding off the pedestal itself. 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

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL modes: This will achieve better 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.

• 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.28

Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. ! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. Cleaning the oven

• 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.

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 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. 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 figure).

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. Cleaning stainless steel 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. Assistance Please have the following information handy:

• 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. Care and maintenance

• 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.29
