Ceramic glass hob

Using the hotplates

The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four
hot plates.

A) This is a 7 position control knob: 0 = off and 1-3 indi-

cate the levels of power uo to the mawimum.

B) Double circuit cooking zone: this cooking zone has

two heating elements.

- To switch on the smaller cooking zone, turn the
relevant control knob 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 light

The ceramic glass hob is equipped with a pilot light which
turns on when the surface is too hot; it is a helpful device
which protects users from burns.
This light turns on some minutes after the plate has been
set into operation, abd it 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.

64

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: if 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.

NO

YES

- they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate.

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.

NO

During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when over­heated, self-ignite.

Using the oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.

Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully
open.

The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied
with one shelf.

The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that the shelf is correctly positioned.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Condensation and Steam

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible
to cook in a steamy environment and keep the
dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover,
the cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may
be produced which can be released when opening
the oven door. This is absolutely normal.

However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during
cooking or at the end of it to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.

To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary before any
cooking.

We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the appliance.

Suggestions for using the oven

Traditional cooking

As heat originates from top and bottom, dishes should
preferably be placed in the middle. If cooking requires
more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or
lower level.

Fan cooking

Heat is produced by a circular heating element placed at
the back of the oven and transmitted to dishes by hot air
forcibly circulated by a fan. By this method, heat is
quickly and evenly circulated throughout the oven,
permitting several different dishes to be cooked at the
same time on different levels.
With this cooking method, through the elimination of
humidity in the air and a drier environment, smells and
tastes are not given off and do not mix with those of other
dishes. You can also cook on only one level. In this case,
it is advisable to place the dish on the lower level for better
cooking control. This oven is particularly suitable for
defreezing rapidly, sterilizing preserves, homemade jams
and, finally, for drying mushrooms and fruit.

Using the oven

For the cooking of cakes

Pre-heat the oven, unless indicated differently, for at least
10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven door when
cooking dishes which must raise (e.g. raised pastries and
soufflés); the jet of cold air would block the raising
process. To check if cakes are cooked, insert a toothpick
into the mixture; if it comes out clean the cake is ready.
Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has passed
before doing this check.
As a general rule remember that:
a dish which is well-cooked on the outside but not
sufficiently cooked inside would have required a lower
temperature and longer cooking time. On the contrary, a
“dry” texture would have required a shorter time and higher
cooking temperature.

For the cooking of meat

Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1
kilo to avoid its becoming too dry. If you want roasts with
a good colour, use very little oil. If the piece is lean, use
oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are on the other
hand unnecessary if the piece has a strip of fat. If the
piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in the oven
with this side upwards; when melting the fat will grease
the lower side sufficiently.
Red meat should be removed from the fridge one hour
before cooking otherwise the sudden change of tempera­ture could cause it to become tough. A roast, especially
if of red meat, must not be salted at the beginning of
cooking as salt causes juices and blood to seep out of
the meat, thus preventing the formation of a well-browned
crust.
It is advisable to salt the outside of the meat after just over
half the cooking time.
Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim; a
deep dish shields heat.
Meat can be placed on an ovenproof dish or directly on
the grill, under which the dripping pan will be inserted to

collect juice. Ingredients for gravy should only be put in
the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise
they should be added during the last half hour.
Begin cooking rare meat at a high temperature, reducing
the temperature to finish cooking the inside.
The cooking temperature for white meat can be moderate
throughout.
The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing the
meat with a fork; if it does not give the meat is cooked.
At the end of cooking it is advisable to wait at least 15
minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices
are not lost.
Before serving plates can be kept warm in the oven at
minimum temperature.

Grilling

The following types of meat are suitable for grilling. Mostly
meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of various sizes, but
not usually very thick, poultry cut in half and flattened, fish,
some vegetables (e.g. courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes,
etc.), skewers of meat or fish and seafood.
Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed with
oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be salted
upon completion of cooking; whereas fish should be
salted on the inside before cooking. The grill should be
positioned in the guides nearest or furthest from the grill
element according to the thickness of the meat, in order
to avoid burning the surface and cooking the inside
insufficiently. The formation of smoke caused by drops of
juice and fat can be avoided by pouring 1 or 2 glasses of
water into the dripping pan. The grill can also be used to
brown, toast bread and grill certain types of fruit, such as
bananas, halved grapefruit, slices of pineapple, apples,
etc. Fruit should not be placed too near the source of
heat.

Cooking times

Cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its
consistency and its volume. It is advisable to watch when
cooking for the first time and check results since when
preparing the same dishes, in the same conditions, similar
results are obtained. The “TABLE OF COOKING TIMES”
relating to cooking in the oven and by grill is provided as a
guide. Experience will show possible variations to the
values set out in the table.

Nevertheless carefully follow the indications given
in the receipe you intend to follow.
Attention: do not place any utensils such as dripping

pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex dishes, aluminium foil
or other on the
base of the oven
when the oven is
in use. A
stagnation of heat
would result which
would compromi­se the results of
cooking and could
damage the oven
enamel.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan
to cool the oven down before switching off at
the electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam
or with a steam cleaning machine.

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result
in a fire, especially in the grill pan.

Cleaning the cooker

Drops of sauce, fruit juice etc., should be removed as
soon as possible with a soft cloth soaked in warm
detergent water. Do not use steel wool or knives to take
off layers of crust. Remove stubborn marks with a well
wetted soap impregnated pad, but care must be taken
not to scratch the enamel. Wash the enamelled grids
with water and detergent; these can also be washed a
dishwasher.
Take off the burner covers and the grids and wash them
carefully with warm water and detergent. Dry them well
before putting them back in position.
Moreover, make sure that these are properly re-placed.
The burner can be rubbed with steel wool or a slightly
abrasive cloth.
Clean the oven door and crystal cover, in models
equipped with these items, only with warm water, and
avoid the use of rough cloths or abrasive substances; in
cookers with an automatic ignition the sparkling bulb
should be cleaned periodically and accurately to avoid
difficulties in lighting; furthermore check that the burner
holes are not obstructed.

Cleaning the hob

Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven
sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or
sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents and ceramic hob scrapers are
available from department stores.
Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth.
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be
removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob
cleaning agent.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content
must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type
of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause
irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the
surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the
ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones.
Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking
zones are used again.

Cleaning the oven

Clean carefully the oven cavity after use when it is still
warm. In fact, at this moment it is easy to take off
deposits of fat or other substances such as fruit juice,
sugar particles or fat. You can use warm detergent water
or one of the appropriate spray oven cleaners. Do not
direct the spray at the mat steel parts as this could
damage them and always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Clean the oven acces-sories (grate, grid­plate etc.) with warm water and detergent.
Remove possible incrustations with a slightly abrasive
powder.

Never line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil. It would result in an
accumulation of heat which might damage
the cooking results and also damage the
enamel.

74

Cleaning the oven door

For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it is
advisable to disassemble it in the following way (Fig.

10):

1. open the door fully;

2. turn the two caps situated on the arm of the hinge to
180° (diagram 1 and 2);

3. partially close the door to an angle of 30° (diagram

3);

4. lift the door and extract from the front (diagram 3).
Re-mount the door by reversing the operation described

above.

Models in stainless steel or aluminium:

We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet
sponge and dry it up after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they
can damage the oven surface.
Clean the oven control panel following the same
precautions.

Something not working

If the appliance does not work correctly, before contacting
the technical assistance, check the following points:

If the appliance fails to operate:

• check that the socket switch and/or the switch from

the supply to the oven are ON.

If the oven does not come on:

• check that it is properly plugged in.

• check that the socket switch is turned on.

• check that the socket is supplying power - do this by

plugging in another appliance that is known to be
working properly.

• check that the fuse is intact.

If the hob area does not work:

• check that you are turning the correct control knob.

The oven does not heat:

• check that the oven switch is in the working position.

Cooking time is too long:

• check that the temperature chosen is suitable to the

food to be cooked.

The oven produces smoke:

• we advise you to clean the oven after each use; when

cooking meat splashes of fat are formed, if they are
not cleaned they can cause smoke and smells during
successive cooking (see paragraph concerning
cleaning).

The oven light does not work:

• the lamp has certainly burnt; to replace follow the

instructions provided in the paragraph on this subject.

The display shows "12.00".

• Set the time of day (see chapter "Setting the time of

day").

If, after all the controls indicated above, the appliance
still does not work, contact your nearest technical
assistance centre providing them with full details of your
appliance: model and registration number.

Maintenance - Technical assistance

The gas cocks must be periodically lubricated to ensure
good working and safety.

Maintenance should be performed as follows:

• Remove the knob and panel after having taken out

fastening screws.

• Loosen the two screws located at the sides of the

cock bar.

• Remove the cone and clean it carefully.

• Then, apply a thin layer of grease non soluble in water,

suitable for gas cocks. Take care not to obstruct the
gas flow holes by an excess of grease.

Reassemble the whole with utmost care performing the
operations described above inversely.

Original spare parts

If after the checks listed in the previous chapter, the
appliance still does not work correctly, contact your
locals Service Centre, specifying the type of
malfunctioning, the appliance model (Mod.), the product
number (Prod. No.) and the serial number (Ser. No.)
marked on the identification plate.

Prior to making the electric al connection, make sure
that:

- The protection fuse and the domestic wire system
are suitable to carry the total electric load of the oven
(see rating plate).

- Your domestic wiring system has an efficient earth
connection in compliance with the rules and laws in
force.

- The wall socket or the omnipole switch used for the
electrical connection can easily be reached after the
oven is built in.

The appliance is delivered without an electric supply
cable, therefore, you will have to fit to it a supply cable
with standard plug, suitable for the total electric load
shown on the rating plate.
The plug is to be inserted into a suitable wall socket.
If you require a direct connection to the electric network
(mains), it will be necessary to fit between the appliance
and the mains an omnipole switch, aith a minimum gap
between contacts of 3 mm. suitable for the required load
and in compliance with rules in force. The green and
yellow ground wire must not be interrupted by the switch.
The supply cable must in all cases be laid out in such a
way as to ensure that it does not reach at any given
point a temperature 50°C higher than the ambient tem­perature.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability in case these
accident-preventing rules are not observed.
Suitable power supply cables are the following types,
considering the respective necessary section of cable.

Connecting the terminal board

The appliance incorporates an easily accessible 6-pole
terminal board whose jumpers (bridges) are already pre­set for operation on 400 V three-phase with neutral wire.
In case where different mains voltage is present, the

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS

Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care.
However, a defect may still occur. Our consumer
services department will repair this upon request, either
during or after the guarantee period. The service life of
the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.
This declaration of guarantee terms is based on
European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provisions
of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer
has under this legislation are not affected by this
declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor’s statutory
warranty to the end user. The appliance is guaranteed
within the context of and in adherence with the following
terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid down in
paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge
any defect that occurs within 24 months from the
date the appliance is delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event
of use for professional or equivalent purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance
is returned to the condition it was in before the
defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or
repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our
property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect
must be brought to our attention immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer
providing proof of purchase showing the purchase
and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to
delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic),
synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of
inappropriate use.

defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the repair
costs are considered disproportionate, in
agreement with the consumer, the defective
appliance may be replaced with another appliance
of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a
financial contribution calculated according to the
length of time it has been used.

13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the
normal guarantee period will be extended nor that
a new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs,
limited to the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability is legally
imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms
excludes any compensation for damage outside
the appliance for which the consumer wishes to
assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted
liability, compensation will not exceed the
