How to use the hotplates
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 4 cooking plates are shown by dark disks on the ceramic surface.

Residual heat indicator
The hob also features 4 warning lamps which are wired to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp lights up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This lamp also stays 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 spell of time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking plate.
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 set the control knob to the required position for the cooking.
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases.
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 minutes before the end of the cooking. The residual heat of the hob will terminate the cooking.
– To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.
WARNING: The hotplates
become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long time after use. Children should be supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the hot surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.
12
Cleaning the hob
Before you begin cleaning make sure that the hob 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 irrepairable way.
Safety hints:
– Do not stare at the light of the halogen
hotplate.
– Before you switch the hob on, make sure
you know which knob controls the required cooking plate. We advise you to sit 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.
– 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.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate when
in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil, aluminium 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. – Do not use the glass surface for storage. – Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.

How to use the electronic clock/programmer
A U T O
Fig. 13
The electronic programmer is a device with the following functions: – 24 hours clock with illuminated display
– Timing of oven cooking with automatic
switch-off (max. 99 minutes).
Electronic clock
Upon immediate connection of the oven or after a mains failure, three zeros will flash on the programmer panel. To set the clock it is necessary to push the
button and then, within 7 seconds, the
or button until you have set the
correct time. The clock will show zero after a mains
failure. Attention: When the programmer display
shows three flashing zeros the oven cannot be switched on. The oven can be switched on when the symbol is shown in the display.
Cooking with automatic switch-off
(Bottom oven only)
The aim of this function is to automatically stop the cooking after a pre programmed time, for a maximum period of 99 minutes. To set the cooking time, push the or
button until you obtain the desired
time in the display. The symbol AUTO will be shown in the display. Then you adjust the oven thermostat knob according to the required temperature. The oven will immediately start to operate and will work for the pre programmed time. The display shows the count down. Clock time can be displayed by pressing the button. Once the time has elasped, the oven will switch off automatically, the symbol AUTO will go off and an intermittent buzzer, lasting 7 minutes, will start; this can be stopped by pressing the button.
Important: Before the buzzer is stopped switch off the oven manually.
To cancel the cooking program at any time press the and buttons together and release the button first.
Setting the frequency of the alarm sound
The selection from 3 possibilities of sound can be made by pressing the button.
Electronic alarm
The programmer can be used as an alarm only for a maximum period of 99 minutes. To set the alarm, push the or button until you obtain the desired time in the display. Once the time has elasped, an intermittent buzzer, lasting 7 minutes, will start; this can be stopped by pressing the button.
Attention: If the bottom oven is switched on when the buzzer starts, it will be automatically switched off. For it to operate furtherly you have to stop the buzzer by pressing the button.

How to use the top conventional oven
Top oven “Function” selector (Fig. 15)
Select Light, Oven or Grill function by turning the control knob (fig. 15) until the indicator is in line with the function printed in the control panel.
Light The oven light is switched on.
Oven It is advisable to preheat the oven until the set temperature has been reached
i.e: when the indicator light above the function selector goes off. During cooking, do not open the door unless it is absolutely necessary.
Grill Always grill with the oven door closed and do not use the grill for
longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Set the function selector knob to the grill position and the temperature selector knob to a max. 200°C. The temperature can be varied depending on the food being cooked (max. 200°C). Before using the grill, pre-heat for about five minutes. Position the grill pan on the highest shelf position and keep checking as it could easily burn. To avoid possible smoking during grilling it is advisable to add a little water to the grill pan. The oven is supplied with a grill pan handle which clips onto the grill pan. The handle must be removed before closing the oven door. We recommend that you use oven gloves when using the grill pan handle or when removing the grill pan or oven shelves as they become very hot when in use.
15
Fig. 14
Fig. 15
Top oven “Temperature” selector (Fig. 14)
The light above the Temperature 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. The oven has two heating elements, one on the base of the oven and one on the top. Hot
air rises, so the top of the oven is always the hottest. The temperature in the middle of the oven is maintained at the temperature set by the
control knob and is slightly hotter at the top and slightly cooler at the bottom of the oven.
Always pre-heat the top oven before use. Do not open the oven door during cooking unless absolutely necessary.
16
Switch and thermostat selector (Fig. 16)
Turn the selector knob (fig. 16) to the required function.
0 Off
Fan The oven light is switched on. The fan operates without the heating element,
this function can be used for defrosting.
50-225 The oven light is switched on.
The oven temperature can be set between 50°C - 225°C. The set temperature has been reached when the temperature indicator light goes off. Several different meals may be cooked simultaneously on various shelves, as the heated air circulates evenly throughout the oven. The hot air system cooks more quickly than conventional static system, therefore the temperature should be set 15°C 20°C below the values recommended in your recipe books. The oven door may be opened though briefly while cooking as any heat losses are quickly recovered when the door is closed.

How to use the bottom fan oven
17
Cooking with a fan oven
Fan cooking is more economical and quicker than cooking in a conventional oven. The fan is situated on the back wall of the bottom oven. The heating element encircles the fan, and the fan forces the heat into the oven ensuring an
even temperature throughout. The moving hot air surrounds the food and penetrates it more quickly than in a conventional oven. The oven can be filled with different dishes all requiring the same cooking temperature. Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every dish requiring a cooking time of more than 1 hour and reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the hotter the oven, the more the temperature can be reduced.
Generally, there is no need to pre-heat a fan oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for about 5 minutes to ensure the best results; use the indicator light as a guide, it goes out when the set temperature is reached.
Optional Safety Guards
WARNING: Ovens
become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long time after use. Children should be supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the hot surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.
