material (e.g. curtains, tea towels, etc.).
Child Safety
This appliance has been designed for use by adults.
Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to
play with it.
The appliance remains hot for a long time after being
switched off. Supervise children at all times, paying
attention that they do not touch surfaces or remain
in the vicinity of the appliance when in use or when
not completely cooled.
During Operation
This product is intended for the cooking of food and
must not be used for other purposes.
It is dangerous to modify, or attempt to modify, the
characteristics of this appliance.
Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on
the burners or plates in order to avoid accidents
caused by upsetting or boiling over.
Particular care should be taken when cooking with
oil or fat.
If the appliance is fitted with a cover, its function is to
protect the surface from dust when closed and to accumulate splashes of grease when open. Do not use
for other purposes.
Always clean the cover before closing.
Leave the burners and/or plates to cool before
closing.
All the covers, in plate glass or enamel, are
removable to facilitate cleaning.
Always ensure that the knobs are in the «
(Stop) position when the appliance is not in use.
Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill
or when cooking meat on the grid. Pour a little water
into the dripping pan to avoid grease burning and
creating unpleasant smells.
Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the
oven.
The accessories (grid and dripping pan) should be
washed before using for the first time.
Take care when using cleaning products in spray
form: never direct the spray onto the resistance or
the thermostat bulb.
If, when placing food in the oven, or when removing
it, a large quantity of oil, juice, etc. spills onto the
bottom of the oven, re-clean before starting to cook
to avoid unpleasant smoke and also the possibility
of these substances catching fire.
For reasons of hygiene and safety this appliance

must always be kept clean. A build up of grease or
other food can cause fires.
The oven becomes hot with the movement of air. The
holes on the bottom of the oven must never be
obstructed. Do not cover the sides of the oven with
aluminium foil, in particular the lower part of the
opening.
The appliance is heavy, move it carefully.
Before maintenance and cleaning disconnect the
appliance and allow to cool.
Ensure that the oven grids are inserted correctly (see
instructions).
If there are self-cleaning panels they should only be
cleaned with soap and water (see cleaning
instructions).
Only heat-resistant plates may be placed in the
drawer situated under the oven.Do not put
combustible materials there.

Ceramic glass hob
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
used for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.
Using the hotplates
The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four
hot plates. The cooking zones and relevant control knobs
are of two types:
0
3
1
A) normal cooking zone: the control knob (fig. 1) is a 7
position control knob: 0 = off and 1-3 indicate the
levels of power up to the mawimum.
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum
(3) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and
then adjusted to the required setting.
B) double circuit cooking zone (front left)
- To switch on the smaller cooking zone, turn the
relevant control knob (fig. 2) to the required heat setting
between 1 and 3.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob to maximum heat setting (3) then turn the knob
further to nearly reach the 0 symbol. You will hear a
click and the wider cooking zone will switch on.
Then turn back the knob and adjust it to the required
heat setting. Now the two heating elements will operate together, giving a higher power output that a
normal cooking zone.
Hob pilot lights
The ceramic glass hob is equipped with four pilot lights
corresponding to each cooking zone. The corresponding
light turns on some minutes after the plate has been set
into operation, and stays on during the whole time of
functioning and also when the plate is off to show the
presence of residual heat in the pyroceram surface.
The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface
temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm temperature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean the
plate with no risk.

Practical Hints
The ceramic glass hob is resistent to sudden changes
in temperature, it is insensitive to heat and cold and hals
also a good resistence to mechanical blows; a sharpened
object, however, no matter if it is small (for example a
point of a knife) can irreparably damage the cooking
surface, jeopardising its functionality.
Before using the cooking plate for the first time, carefully
wash the pyroceram plate with a non-abrasive detergent,
dry it and then wsitch it on for about 10 minutes at the
highest position.
When using the cooking plate for the first time, unpleasant
smells, or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is
absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of
greasy working residues and of hte dope used during the
installation. These smells will vanish after some time of
working.
Attention: is the surface shows a crack,
immediately switch the equipment off and call
the Aftersales Service.
Suitable pans and pots
Remember that a large pan offers a larger surface to
heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow pan.
Always use pans of a size suitable for the food to be
cooked. In particular, take care that pans are not too
small for liquid preparations which could easily spill over
or that they are not too big for food which must be cooked
quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are easily burnt
by fats and juice.
For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not open.
A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar which,
when spilling onto the bottom of the oven, caramelize
and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic
handles in the oven as they may not support the heat.
Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:
- they should be heavy duty.
- they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
- they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate (Fig. 3).
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split
onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan
on them or with an empty pan on them. Particular care
should be taken when cooking with oil or fat.
During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when overheated, self-ignite.
