ROOM VENTILATION

To ensure that the appliance operates correctly, the room where it is installed must be continuously
ventilated. The room volume should not be less than 25m³ and the q uantity of air needed should be
based on the regular combustion of gas and on the ventilation of the room. Natural air will flow
through permanent openings in the walls of the room to be ventilated. These openings will be
connected with the outside environment and should have a minimum c ross-section defined by the
current national standards regarding room ventilation (Fig. 3).
These openings should be built so that they cannot be clogged.
Indirect ventilation is also permitted by taking air from the rooms adjacent to the one to be ventilated.

Fig. 3

LOCATION AND AERATION

Gas cooking appliances must always evacuate the combustion products by means of hoods
connected to chimneys, flues or directly outside (Fig. 4). If a hood cannot be installed, it is possible
to use a fan installed on a window or directly facing outdoors, to be operated together with the
appliance (Fig. 5), provided that there is strict compliance with the ventilation regulations.

USE AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

USING THE INDUCTION HOB

HOB CONTROL KNOB

On the control panel, small symbols show the function of each knob or key. Here as follows are the
several controls that a cooker can have:

These symbols show the disposit ion of induction zone on the worktop, the f ull dot identifies the zone
in object (in this case the front left zone).

This symbol shows the running of the oven (9 positions switch).

This symbol shows the electric thermostat for electric oven .

18

There are 5 cooking zone and there is a knob that applies and works each individual zone. These
knobs provide control of the ceramic hob's cooking zones. These knobs look similar to the above
image.

The zone it controls is shown above each knob. Turn the knob to the right to set the zone's operating
power; the settings range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. See above drawing.

The working power is shown by a display on the hob.

Heating accelerator - A

Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator.
This system allows the zone to be operated at peak power for a time proportional to the heating

power selected.
To start the heating acceler ator, turn the knob to the left, select setting " A" and then release. The

letter "A" will appear on the display on the hob.

You now have 3 sec on ds to select the heating s ett in g of your c hoic e . Onc e a s e tti ng b et w een 1 an d 9
has been selected, "A" and the chosen setting will flash in alternation on the display. '

While the heating accelerat or is in oper ation, the h eating leve l can be incr eased at an y time. T he "full
power" time will be m odified accordingly. If the power is reduced b y turning the knob antic lockwise,
option "A" is automatic ally deactiva ted.

Power Function - P

The power function all o ws t he us er t o operate each heating zon e continuously at the max im um power
for a time of no more than 10 minutes. This function can be used, for example, to bring a large
amount of water to the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the heat under meat.

Turn the knob clockwise and set heating le vel 9, t he n use the knob to set t he "P" position and re le ase
it. "P" appears on the corresponding zone display.

After 10 minutes, the po wer is reduced automatically, the knob retur ns to the 9 setting and the "P"
disappears.

However, the power function can be turned off at any time by reducing the heating level. .
When the power function is selected for one heating zone (e.g. the left front zone), the power

absorbed by the second zone ( Left rear zone) might be reduced to s upply the maximum available
energy to the first zone.

Consequently, the power function takes priority over the heating accelerator.
If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on, the function is switched off.

19

INDUCTION HOB - ZONES DESCRIPTION

ATTENTION: Metal items such as cutlery or lids must never be placed on the surface of the
hob since they may become hot.

Cooking zones (See image Fig 9)

The appliance is equipped with 5 cooking zones having different diameters and powers. Their
positions are clearl y marked by rings, while the heati ng power is on ly releas ed in the area s hown on
the ceramic hob. The 5 cooking zones are of HIGH -LlGHT type a nd start to hea t up a few seconds
after they are switche d on. The heat level of each zone can be regulat ed from the minimum to the
maximum setting using the knobs on the front panel.

Fig 9

Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor, supplied with power by an
electronic system, which generates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is placed inside this
magnetic field, the high frequency currents concentrate directly on the bottom of the pan and
produce the heat needed to cook the foods.

The 5 lights on the cooking zones come on when t he temperature of one or more cooking zones
exceeds 60°C. T he lights go out when the temperature drops to b elow about 60°C. This is a very

good safety feature.

WARNING: When the hob is used for the first time, it should be heated to its maximum
temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process,
which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

21

TYPES OF PANS

This type of appliance can only operate with pans of special kinds.
The bottom of the pan must be iron or steel/iron to generate the magnetic field necessary for the

heating process.
Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:

• glass;

• porcelain;

• pottery;

• Steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.

To check that a pan is suitable, simply place a magnet close to its bottom: if the magnet is attracted,
the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If no magnet is to hand, put a little water in the pan, place it
on a cooking zone and switch it on. If the symbol appears on the display instead of the power, the pan
is not suitable.

The pans used for cooking must have certain minimum diameters to ensure satisfactory operation.
Pans larger than the c ook in g zones can also be used, but it is important to ensure that the bott om of

the pan does not touch other cook ing zones, and that it is alwa ys centred over the perimeter of the
cooking zone. (fig.10-11).

Fig.10

22

Fig.11

Use only vessels special ly designed for induction c ooking, with thick, completely flat bottom ; if these
are not available, the pans used must not have crowned (concave or convex) bottom. (fig.12)

Fig 12

Pan present device

Each cooking zone is equipped with a "pan present" device, which ensures that cooking cannot start
unless a suitable pan is present on the cooking zone and properly positioned.

If the user attempts to switc h on the cooking zone w ith the pan not positio ned properly or with a pan
which is not of suitable material, a few seconds after the zone is switched on the symbol will

appear to warn the user that an error has been made.

Residual heat

Each cooking zone is equ ipped wit h a device which war ns of res idual heat. Aft er any cook ing zone is
switched off, a symbol ‘H’ may appear on the displa y. This warns that the cook ing zone concerned is

still very hot. Cooking can be restarted while the ‘H’ symbol is turned on.

23

SAFETY LOCK

When not in use, the hob can be "Iocked out" to prevent children from accidentally switching it on.
With the cooking zones off, turn the knobs of zones 2 and 4 to the left simultaneously until 5 Ls

appear on the power display and then release the knobs.
To deactivate it, repeat the same procedure: the cooking zone displays will all show 0, indicating that

the cooking zone lock-out function has been deactivated.
Attention: Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures onto the hob during cooking, or to place

materials or substanc es which m ight m elt (plastic or aluminum foil) on it; if th is should oc cur, t o avoid
damage to the surface, turn the heating off immediate ly and clean with th e scraper s upplied while the
cooking zone is still warm. If the ceram ic hob is not cleaned immediately, residues m ay form which
cannot be removed once the hob has cooled.

IMPORTANT

Keep a close eye on children becaus e they are un likely to see the residual heat warming lights. The

cooking zones are still very hot for s ome time after use, even if the y are switched of f. Make sure that

children never touch them.

WARNING: Under no circumstance use aluminium foil or plastic containers to hold the food while

cooking on a glass-ceramic hob.
WARNING: Do not touch the cooking area as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-

ceramic hob, is “on”; this indicates that the temperature in the relative area is still high.

WARNING: Never place pan with bottoms which are not perfectly flat and smooth on the hob
WARNING: If you notice a crack in the ceramic hob, disconnect the appliance from the electricity

supply and contact a service person.
WARNING: Your glass-ceramic hob is thermal shock resistant and resistant to both heat and cold.
If you drop a heavy pot on your hob it will not break.
On the contrary, if a h ard object, such as the s alt shaker or the spic e bottle strikes the edge or the

corner of the hob, the hob may break.

WARNING: never use the glass-ceramic hob as support surface.

24

USING THE ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT

The thermostat supplied with the relative m odels main tains a constan t temper ature inside the oven a t

a specific temperature setting ranging from 50°C to 250°C. (fig.13)

Fig 13

Turn the knob clockwise and align the selected temperature indicated on the ring with the index

etched on the control panel. Thermostat operat ion is indicated by an ora nge light which will turn of f

when the temperature i nside the oven is 10°C great er than the temper ature setting, and will turn on

when the oven is 10°C less than the temperature setting. The thermostat can control the oven

elements only if the r elative switch is in one of the possible oven element operating modes: if the

switch is in position 0, the thermostat has not effect on the oven elements, which remain off.

25

USING THE OVEN FUNCTION KNOB

Please note that the below images may be different to what is supplied on your freestanding

cooker model. However the explanation on how it f unc tions is c orrec t.

This oven has 11 functions as you will see explained below.

There are 4 levels in this oven as per the belo w diagram. (Fig. 14)

Fig. 14

Also there are 2 partially extendable telescopic runner s in this model whereby they can be easily

glided out for safe use. These extendable racks are not evident in the above picture. Please s ee
your cooker.

The knob on the cooker has 9 f unc tions on it as you can see below (Fig.15). The ‘9 switch’ installed in
the multifunction oven m odels is used, along with the thermostat, to c ontrol the electric fan and the
oven elements since the y can be turned on by turning the ‘9 switch’ k nob and the thermostat knob.
Turning just one of the two k nobs will not have any effect on t he oven exc ept to t urn on the o ven light
or the electric fan when inserted. The electric oven is heated b y 4 elements: one on the bottom , two
on the top, one circular; tur ning the switch k nob turns on the elem ent relative to the s ymbol indicated
on the ring but to be activated the therm ostat knob must be turned until the orange light turns on
indicating that the e lement has be en turned on. Placing the s witch knob on any of the nine operati ng
modes turns on the oven light, together with the relative element. Once the temperature and the
elements to be used have been set, the oven elements are turned on and off by the thermostat;
therefore, it is normal for the orange light to turn on and off while the oven is working.
To turn off the electric oven set the switch knob to position 0 to prevent the thermostat from controlling
the elements. Setting t he thermostat knob to positio n 0 turns off the elements b ut it is still possible,
using the switch, to turn on the electric fan and the oven light.

Fig. 15

26

The switch has 9 different fixed positions corresponding to 9 different types of oven operation:

- the symbol indicates that all the elements and fan have been turned on (pre-heating);

- the symbol indicates the top and bottom elements have been turned on( traditional);

- the symbol indicates that only the bottom element has been turned on;

- the symbol indicates that only the top el ement have been turned on;

- the symbol indicates that only the grill element has been turned on;

- the symbol indica tes that the top external element, the grill element and the electric fan
have been turned on ( fan grill);

- the s ymbol indicates that the top and bottom elements and the electric fan have been
turned on(fan assisted);

- the symbol indicat es that the circular element an d the electric fan ha ve been turned on(
fan forced/convection);

- the symbol indic ates that the bottom element, the circular element and the electric fan
have been turned on (pizza function/ fan forced with bottom e lement)

When the knob is set to on e of these nine positions , the oven light is al ways on, thus indicating th at
the oven is being energised.

There are also 2 other functions present in these models which do not have an icon but which can be
activated as follows:

• Oven Light only: choose a function with the knob, without activating the thermostat.

• Defrost: choose the ‘convection’ function with the knob, without activating the thermostat.

USING THE PRE HEATIN G FUNCTION

Pre heating function allow one to reach the preset oven temperature as quickly as possible.
Once it reaches the set temperature, the orange light will go out, select the type of cooking through

the switch functions and place the food in to cook.
Note: the preheating function should no t b e used for cooking but just to preheat the oven.

27

USING THE PIZZA FUNCTION (FAN FORCED WITH BOTTOM ELEMENT)

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a

temperature of about 250°C to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation.

Before you start cooking, preheat the oven. After preheating, set the Pizza function, this function

ensures homogeneous cooking. Ideal not only for pizzas but also for biscuits and cakes

For cooking the pizza it is recommended that you set the thermostat at the maximum and place the

baking tray or the grid in levels 3 or 4.

USING THE TRADITIONAL ELEMENT (TOP AND BOTOM ELEMENT)

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a

temperature of about 250°C to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation. During
normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using the thermostat knob and wait until the
orange light turns off before putting in any food. The oven is equipped with 4 guides at different
heights which can be use d to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is
recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. Table
No. 3 below lists the cooking times and the position of the tray for different types of foods. Personal
experience will he lp to determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, the
below table is only a guideline to assist you with your cooking.

USING THE FAN ASSISTED FUNCTION

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a

temperature of about 250°C to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation.

Before cooking, allo w the oven to reach t he des ired te m peratur e setting wai ting f or the ora nge li ght to

turn off. This type of oven is equi pped with a fan that creates forced-air circulation in the horizontal

direction so that the heat g enerated by the top and bottom elements is uniform ly distributed. Thanks

to this type of operation, the ove n can be us ed f or different t ypes of c ook ing at the same t ime, witho ut

changing the taste of each food.

Hot-air circulation guara ntees a uniform distribution of heat. Pr e-heating the oven is not necessar y,

but for very delicate pastries, it is recommended to heat the oven before inserting the trays.

The system partiall y changes the various not ions about tradition al cooking. Meat no longer needs to

be turned while it is cooking and the rotisserie is no longer needed to cook a roast on the spit. Just put

the meat directly on the shelf.

USING THE FAN FORCED FUNCTION

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a

temperature of about 250°C to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation.

Before cooking, allo w the oven to reach t he des ired te m peratur e setting wai ting f or the ora nge li ght to

turn off. This type of oven is equipped with a circular element around which a fan has been installed

that creates forced-air circulation in the hor izontal direction. T hanks to this type of operation, the fan
forced oven can be us ed fo r diff erent t ypes of cook ing at the s am e tim e, without chang ing the t aste of
each food. Hot-air circ ulation guarantees a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating the oven is not
necessary, but for very delicate pastries, it is recommended to heat the oven before inserting the
trays.

between the 150 °C and 200 °C setting, to avoid overheating the front of the appliance. In fact,

fan assisted grilling must be carried out with the door closed.

COOLING FAN OPERATION

The cooker is equipped with the cooling fan that star ts operation eac h time a specific tem perature of

cooker was reached and will stop when the temperature decreases. The fan circulates the air

between the control panel and the oven door and also allows the control panel and the oven door stay

at a warm temperature during the appliance operation in any condition.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
CATALYTIC SELF - CLEANING LINERS

The self-cleaning oven differs from the standard one in the fact that its internal surfaces are
enamelled with a special microporous material which absorbs and eliminates the greasy particles
during the cooking. In case of spillag e of greasy liquids, the self-cleaning action becomes not efficient;

therefore it will be necessary to clean the oven properly. Proceed in the following way: (a) wipe a
humid sponge on the grease stains; (b) heat up the oven t o the maximum temperature; (c) wait 5
minutes and then s witc h of f the o ven; (d) wait until the ove n g ets coo l a ga in; ( e) wipe again the humid
sponge on all the surface. Do not use detergent in any case.

WARNING: Before cleaning the appliance, it should be disconnected from the power
supply and turn off the main gas feeder valve.

Cleaning the ceramic hob

Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
The ceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use, when the residual heat

warning lights have gone out.
Any marks left by the use of pans with aluminium bottoms can be wiped off with a c loth dipped in

vinegar.
If burnt residues are left af ter cooking, remove them with the scraper provided, rinse with water and

dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces the use of
chemicals for daily cleaning of the hob.

In any case, abrasive or corrosive cleaners (e.g. powder products, oven cleaner sprays, stain
removers and metal scouring pads) must never be used.

Any liquid that overflows from pots must always be removed using a rag.

Cleaning the enamelled parts
To maintain the original features of the enamelled parts they should be cleaned frequently with
soapy water. Never use abrasive powders. Do not leave acidic or alkaline substances on the
enamelled parts (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato sauce, etc.) and do n ot wash the enamelled parts

37

while they are still hot.

Cleaning the STAINLESS steel parts

Clean the parts with soapy water and then dry them with a soft cloth. The shine is maintained
by periodically using special products that generally are found in the market. Never use abrasive
powders.

How to remove the door

To thoroughly clean the inside of the oven, it is recommended to disassemble the door by care fully
following the ins tructions described in Fig.1 and 3 below. Insert the hook into the hinged sec tor. Put
the door in a semi-open position and using both hands pull it towards you until it is released from the
attachment. To replace the door, do the opposite making sure to insert the two sectors correctly. In
addition, the side racks can be removed very easily, by loosening the lock rings that attach them to
the oven.

Removing inside glass for cleaning

To remove inside glass door for cleaning follow below fig. 2-3 and 4 and after cleaning the glass

reinstall it operating in the reverse way. Use fig. 4-3 and 2.

Removing the inside glass for cleaning

38

Removal of roof tray

The roof tray above the grill element can be removed for cleaning.

- Support the grill element with one hand while removing the wing nuts that hold the element in
in place.

- The element position will drop slightly allowing removal of top liner.

- Once cleaned and dried, the top liner can be placed back into position, above element, and
re-secured with the two wing nuts.

- The liner will only fit into one position so care must be taken to locate it the rear lugs and the
front large lip must be facing downwards.

- Do not use the oven unless the liner is f itted and the element h as been re-secured with the
wing nuts.
