When cooking in the oven or the grill, the
appliance is subject to considerable heat,
particularly around the door and nearby area.
Take care, therefore, that children do not
attempt to approach when playing.

If electrical appliances are plugged in near the
oven, take care that the lead does not touch the
cooking areas and does not become trapped in
the oven door.

To offer better protection to children who could be burnt
by the oven door when in use, a shield can be applied

PRACTICAL ADVICE

COOKING RECIPIENTS

Remember that a large recipient offers a larger surface
to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow
recipient.
Always use recipients of a size suitable for the food to
be cooked. In particular, take care that recipients are
not too small for liquid preparations which could easily
spill over or that they are not too big for food which
must be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the

ELECTRIC PLATES

Sealed hotplates

The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the
four hot plates. There are two different types of plates.

Normal

This is a 7 position control knob: 0 = off and 1-6 indica­te the levels of power uo to the mawimum.

bottom are easily burnt by fats and juice.
For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not
open. A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar
which, when spilling onto the bottom of the oven,
caramelize and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing
pans with plastic handles in the oven as they may not
support the heat.

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:

- they should be heavy duty.

- they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

Rapid hot Plate

This type is indicated by a red circle in the middle of
the plate.

The red circle is painted on and so will deteriorate and
may come off completely over a period of time.

A rapid plate will heat up much more quickly than a
normal plate, and the knob is the one in Fig. 1.

- they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate (Fig. 2).

This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being
split onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.

the sign is in front of the symbol
When the grill is in use the oven door must be left ajar
and the switch protection shield inserted (Fig. 4 and 5).

When cooking in the oven or grill, in order to avoid
over-heating, always leave the appliance’s cover
open.

The oven is supplied with an enamelled dripping pan
for the collection of cooking juices from grilled meat or
kebabs, and a grill for cooking grilled food, which can
also be placed in a dish.
In models equipped with an oven grill with stopper (fig.

5) and when grilling, to avoid dirtying the oven
excessively, we advise you to insert the drippng pan
(A-fig. 6) in the specific grids, situated under the grill
(B-fig.6).
If you need to cook with the dripping pan on the oven
grill, place as shown in Fig. 6.
