How to use the vitroceramic hob

Fig. 13

Fig. 12

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
sat 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 plates are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.

3 circuits hotplate

Incorporating 3 heating elements you can
control and light up all together or sepa­rately by a 6 position switch.
Reaches the working temperature in a very
short time.

Residual 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.

Fig. 19

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
the glass surface of the hob (scratches).

Make sure that the pan bottom 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 eliminate any food
remains (especially containing sugar), dirt
etc. with the aid of a cleansing 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 surface

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

materials 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 carefully.

Do not use the glass surface for stor­age.

Cleaning the hob

Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.

Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations by using a scraper.
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 have to 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 (while the surface is still hot)
by using a scraper to avoid any
permanent damage to the surface of the
hob.

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
in an irreparable way.

ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic 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.

How to use the Multifunction main oven

Operating principles

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION 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 radiated 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.

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.

Fig. 20

Fig. 21

Oven light

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

Traditional convection cooking

The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat is dispersed by natural
convection and the temperature must be set to between 50° and 250°C via the
thermostat knob.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Recommended for:
Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example roasts,
spare pork ribs, meringues etc.

18

Hot air cooking

The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and
the temperature can be regulated to between 50° and 250°C via the thermostat knob.
The oven does not require preheating.

Recommended for:
Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example
lasagne, lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.

Defrosting frozen foods

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “●” - other positions have
no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.

Recommended for:
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.

Grilling

The infrared grill element comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed

and the thermostat knob to position 225°C for max 15

minutes, then to position 175°C.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.

It is recommended that you 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.

19

Ventilated grill cooking

The infrared grill element and the fan come on. The heat is dispersed mainly by
radiation and the fan then distributes it all over the oven.
Use with the door closed. The temperature can be regulated via the thermostat knob
to between 50° and 175° max.
The oven must be preheated for approximately 5 minutes. For cooking hints, see the
chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN.

Recommended for:
Grilling where quick browning on the outside is required to keep the juices in.
For example: veal steaks, chops, hamburgers etc.

It is recommended that you 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.

Maintaining temperature after cooking or slowly
heating foods

The upper heating element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is dispersed by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50° and 150°C via the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:
Keeping food warm after any type of cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.

Convection cooking with ventilation

The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan.
The heat coming from above and below is dispersed by convection with ventilation.
The temperature can be set to between 50° and 250°C via the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:
Voluminous dishes and large quantities which require the same degree of cooking both
inside and out, for example rolled roasts, turkey, roast legs, cakes etc.

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.

Simultaneous cooking of different foods

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on position and gives a simultaneous
heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat
can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavors together. 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.

20

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 dripping 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.

Roasting

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180° and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

Grilling and “au gratin”

Grilling may be done without the roasting jack on position of the switch, because
the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place
the food on the rack.
Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on position 175 °C, until
grilling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.

It is recommended that you 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.

21

Thermostat knob (Fig. 23)

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 switched 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.
