How To Use the Cooking Hob
Fig. 3.4
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 cooking zones are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.
3 circuits radiant zones
Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.
3.4) you can control and light up all
together or separately by a 6 position
switch (fig. 3.3).
Reaches the working temperature in a
very short time.
Fig. 3.3
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. 3.5).
By switching on the second element (fig.
3.6 and 3.7), the surface area of the rear
right and central radiant zones can be
extended.
For this purpose, turn the control knob
(fig.
3.5)fully to the right (position
).

Residual heat indicator
The hob also features 5 warning lamps
which are wired to the corresponding
plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate
is over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp
is also lit-up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This lamp also stay on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to shown
that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this period of time you
should avoid touching the hob
surface over the cooking area.
Please pay special attention to
ensuring children are not allowed
near the hob.
The lamp will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the
cooking plate falls below 60°C.
Cooking hints:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can
turn the control knob to the max when
you switch the plate on.
After a short time you will set the
control knob to the required position
for the cooking.
– You should use pots and pans with
flat bases (pans with the test mark for
glass-ceramic hobs are available from
specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should match
that of the cooking plate (or be slightly
bigger) to make the most of the
energy.
– Since the cooking surface stays hot
for a certain time after the plate has
been switched off, you can 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
whenever possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

Safety hints:
– Before you switch the hob on, make sure
you know which knob controls the
required cooking plate. We advise you
to set the pan over the cooking plate
before switching it on. Remove the pan
after you have switched the cooking
plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage
(scratch) the glass surface of the hob.
Make sure that the pan bottom of the
pan is dry and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully remove any
food debris (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleans-
ing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is
a great danger of knocking the pan
over.
This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
– Do not use the hob if the glass sur-
face is broken or cracked in any
way. Please disconnect the hob from
the mains and contact the after-
sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate when
in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic mate-
rials on the ceramic surface when it is
hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions careful-
ly.
Do not use the glass surface for
storage.
Cleaning
Before you begin cleaning make
sure that the appliance is
switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure
that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be
removed with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have 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.
Avoid using a knife or other sharp
utensils 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 cleaning the glass ceramic hob
using a special scraper tool take
extra care to avoid damaging to the
seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.

4 - How To Use the Multi-function main oven
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
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 1400 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2500 W
– Fan motor 25 W
– Oven lamp 15 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.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the muffle.
Before the hot air is sucked back
again by the fan to repeat the
described cycle, it envelops the food
in the oven, provoking a complete and
rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.
c. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.
e. by radiation and ventilation
The irradiated heat from the infra red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.

Cooking Advice
Sterilization
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, 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.
Regeneration
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.
Convection cooking
with ventilation
The upper and lower heating elements
and the fan turn on.
The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.
The temperature must be regulated
between 50° and 250 °C with the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
For foods of large volume and quantity
which require the same internal and
external degree of cooking; for ie: rolled
roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.
Maintaining temperature
after cooking or slowly
heating foods
The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched
on; also the fan is on.
The heat is diffused by forced convection
with the most heat being produced by the
upper element.
The temperature must be regulated
between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly
heat already cooked foods.
Roasting
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-
perature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
21
Use of the grill
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
Introduce the food to be cooked,
positioning the rack as close to the grill as
possible.
The drip pan should be placed under the
rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Simultaneous cooking of
different foods
The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position
and
gives simultaneous
heterogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and meat
can be cooked together without mixing the
smells and flavours.
This is possible since the fats and vapors
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.
The only precautions to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the different
foods must be as close to as possible,
with a maximum difference of 20° - 25
°C.
– The introduction of the different dishes in
the oven must be done at different times
in relation to the cooking times of each
one.
The time and energy saved with this type
of cooking is obvious.
Grilling and “au gratin”
Set the switch to position .
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and
after having preheated the oven, simply
place the food on the shelf.
Close the door and let the oven operate
with the thermostat on, until grilling is
complete.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end
of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
Note: It is recommended that you do
not grill for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
Oven cooking
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.
22
Thermostat (Fig. 5.2)
This only sets the cooking temperature and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required temperature is reached (from 50 to 250°C).
The light above the function selector 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.
