How to use the Vitroceramic Hob
4
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a
fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the
pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays
“cool” at only a few centimeters from the
cooking plate.
The 5 c ook ing zo nes are sh own by
painted disks on the ceramic surface.
Check that the cooker top is clean.
WARNING:
If the surface is cracked, switch off the
appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the
element in all settings to protect any
overheating of the ceramic glass.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong
pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter to operate more frequently,
resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
3 CIRCUITS RADIANT ZONES
Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.
4.2) you can control and light up all
together or separately by a 6 position
switch (fig. 4.1).
The working temperature required is
reached in a very short time.
Fig. 4.1 Fig. 4.2
13
DOUBLE AND OVAL RADIANT
ZONES
The heating element is formed of a coil
of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator
from 1 to 12 (maximum temperature) (fig.
4.3).
To turn on both zones of the double
element, turn the double element knob
fully clockwise to the position .
To reduce the heat of the full double element, turn its knob anticlockwise to setting 12 or lower. Adjust the heat during
cooking as necessary.
Note: if you leave the knob at the
position, the full double element will
remain at the highest heat setting.
To return to using only the inner zone of
the double element, first turn the knob
to the 0 (off) position (you should feel a
click) and then clockwise to a setting
from 1 to 12.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 5 warning lights
which are connected to the corresponding plates.
When the temperature of a cooking
plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning light will also light up to warn of
heat on the surface of the hob.
This light also stay on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to show
that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this time you should avoid
touching the hob surface over the
cooking area.
Please pay special attention to
ensu re t ha t c hildre n a re n ot
allowed near the hob.

with flat bases (pans with the test
mark for gl ass- cera mic hob s are
available from specialist shops).
The d iam et er of t he pa n sh ou ld
match that of the cooking plate (or be
slightly bigger) to make the most of
the energy.
– Since the cooking surface will stays
hot for a certain time after the plate
has b een swi tc hed off , yo u ca n
switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before
the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids when-
ever possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and
DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the control knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a work surface.

CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.
Rem ove a ny en cr ust at ion u sin g a
scraper specific for glass ceramic surfaces.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure
tha t it i s no t abr as ive or sc ou rin g.
Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of th e cleaner have t o be
removed with a damp cloth.
It is highly recommended to keep off the
hob any article which can melt: plastic,
aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products has melted on
the ceramic surface, you should remove
it immediately (when the surface is still
hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the
hob (Available under part No. 103138).
Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil
since these can damage the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If c lean ing the gl ass cera mic hob
using a special tool (i.e. scraper) take
extra care to avoid damage to the seal
at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.
ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE
COOKTOP
• Before switching on make sure that you
have the correct knob for the hotplate
chosen. It is advisable to put the pan on
the hotplate before switching on and to
take it away after switching off.
• Use cookware with flat and even bottoms (be careful when using cast iron
vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch
the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful
that the bottom is clean and dry.
• Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the bob.
• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
bob.
• The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully eliminate any
food rema ins (es pecially conta ining
sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
• Make sure that the handles of cookware
do not stick out over the edge of the
cooker, to avoid them being knocked
over by accident. This also makes it
more difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels.
• Do not lean over the cooking zones
when they are switched on.
• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on
the glass ceramic cooktop. If the sur-
face is broken or damaged unplug the
appliance and contact the after-sales
service.
• Do not put alumini um foil o r plastic
objects on the cooking zones when they
are hot.
• Rem em ber tha t th e co oki ng z one s
remain hot for some time after they are
switched off (about 30 mm.).
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediately
and call the After-Sales Service.
17
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation. Keep children away.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTI FUNCTION oven are obtained in the fol-
lowing ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
The fan draws in air contained within
the oven housing at the rear of the
oven and forces it over the circular
heating element. The hot air envelops
the food in the oven giving faster and
more even cooking before it is drawn
back into the housing to repeat the
cycle. It is possible to cook several
dishes simultaneously due to the
even distribution of heat within the
oven.
c. by forced semi-convection
The heat produced by the top and
bottom heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.
d. by radiant heat
The food is grilled by the infra red
grill element.
e. by radiant heat and ventilation
The food is grilled by the grill element, heat is distributed throughout
the oven.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.
GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements which are:
– Bottom element 1200 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2200 W
NOTE: Upon first use, it is advisable to
operate the oven for 30 minutes in the
position and for another 30 minutes
at the maximum temperature (thermostat knob on position 250) in the positions and , to eliminate possible
traces of grease on the heating elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with
warm water and washing-up liquid.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating element inside the oven
cavity.

Remember to keep children away from the appliance when you use the grill or oven,
since these parts become very hot.
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be preserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:
a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the
door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn
off the oven and let cool.
Check your recipe book for full instructions.
21
WARMING BREAD
Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150 °C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for
about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
- that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 °C and 200 °C.
- that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS
The oven set on position can cook several different foods together. Foods as
diverse as fish and cakes can be cooked together without the cross transference of
flavours. This is because the fats and cooking smell that would normally be
deposited on the different foods are oxidised and are not absorbed by the foods.
The cooking temperature of the foods, however must be within 20 - 25 °C of each
other. The food with the longest cooking time will be put into the oven first and the
other foods are added as necessary according to their cooking times.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes with the door closed.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.
The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN
As the hot air completely covers the food to be cooked, grilling may be done with
the food on the rack in the oven. The knob should be switched to position .
The thermostat should be set to 50 °C and 175 °C max and the oven pre-heated.
The food should be placed on a rack in the oven for the required cooking time.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is used. Children
should be kept away.
22
THERMOSTAT KNOB (Fig. 6.2)
This only sets the cooking temperature
and does not switch the oven on. Rotate
clockwise until the required temperature
is reached (from 50 to maximum position).
The light above the knobs will illuminate
when the oven is swiched on and turns
off when the oven reaches the correct
temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during
cooking in line with the oven temperature
.
