How to use the vitroceramic hob

4

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 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
painted disks on the ceramic surface.

3 CIRCUIT RADIANT ZONES

Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.

4.2) you can control and light up all 3
together or separately by selecting from
the 6 positions on the control knob (fig.

4.1).
The working temperature required is
reached in a very short time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches the element
ON/OFF during all the settings to pro­tect the ceramic glass from overheat­ing.
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.

Second element

Second element

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 INDICA TORS

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
ensure that children are not
allowed near the hob.

The light 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 can set the con­trol knob to the position required for
cooking.

– You should only 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 will 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 whenev-

er possible.

– Never cook the food directly on the

glass ceramic hob, but in special pans
or containers.

– Do not scratch the cooktop with

cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic sur­face as a work surface.

Caution! the cooking hob becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

Fig. 4.7

DO NOT USE GLASSWARE ON CERAMIC HOBS.

DO NOT USE PANS WITH ROUGH CIRCULAR MACHINED BASE.

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.

Do not use the glass surface for
storage.

16

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 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 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 sur-

face is broken or cracked in any

way. Please disconnect the cooker

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 materi-

als 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 .

CLEANING THE HOB

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. (Available under part No. 103138).

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 the
seal at the edges of the glass ceramic
surface.

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 1725 W
– Top element 1725 W
– Grill element 2500 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.

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

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 givin
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 is distributed throughout the
oven

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.

THERMOSTAT KNOB (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 temperature 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.

OVEN LIGHT

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

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat being dispersed by natural
convection. The temperature range must be set between 50 °C and 250 °C using the
thermostat.
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.

19

DEFROST

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “ ” - other temper­ature 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.
Set the thermostat knob to between 50 °C and 200 °C.

Always grill with the oven door closed.

For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time on full heat (200 °C).
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

FAN GRILL

Both the grill and the fan come on. Most of the cooking is done by grilling and then
the hot air circulated around the oven. The oven door should be kept closed

.
The temperature can be set between 50 °C and 175 °C max.
The oven should be preheated for 5 minutes before cooking. For further cooking hints
see “GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN”.

Recommended for:

Quick sealing in of food juices for example such as hamburger, chicken pieces, chops.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time on full heat (175 °C).
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

FAN FORCED

The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and
the temperature can be varied to between 50 °C 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.

20

MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE AFTER COOKING OR
SLOWLY HEATING FOODS

The upper element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is circulated by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50 °C and 140 °C via the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

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

MULTI-FUNCTION

The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan come on - the heat from
the element being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50 °C and 250 °C using the thermostat.

Recommended for:

Large bulky quantities of food that require even cooking throughout for example large
roasts, turkey, roast turkey, cakes etc.

COOKING ADVICE

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 recycle 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

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.
