3 - USE OF COOKING HOB

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 a horizontal
direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at
only a few centimeters from the cooking
plate.

The 5 cooking zones are shown by paint­ed disks on the ceramic surface.

3 CIRCUIT RADIANT ZONES

Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.

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

3.1).
The working temperature required is
reached in a very short time.

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. 3.3).

By switching on the second element (fig.

3.4 and 3.5), the surface area of the rear
right and central radiant zones can be
extended.
For this purpose, turn the control knob
(fig.

3.3)fully to the right (position

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The hob also features 5 warning lights
which are connected to the correspond­ing plate.

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

whenever possible.

– Never cook the food directly on the

glass ceramic cooktop.

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

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.

14

Fig. 3.8

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 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 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 - MULTI-FUNCTION MAIN OVEN

Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

GENERAL FEATURES

The multi- function oven can be pro­gramed for 7 different functions to satis­fy every cooking need.

The 7 positions are thermostatically con­trolled and are obtained by a combina­tion of 4 heating elements which are:

– Bottom element 2050 W
– Top element 1250 W
– Grill element 2200 W
– Circular element 2500 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the
oven for 30 minutes in the position and
for another 30 minutes at maximum (tem­perature knob on position 225) 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

The circular heating element and fan
constantly circulate heated air over the
food in the oven for a more rapid and
even cooking process. 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.

for a

maximum of 15 minutes.
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.

For correct use see “USE OF THE GRILL”

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with a broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and
the temperature must be set between 50° and 225 °C.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e.
lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the temperature knob on “●” because the other
positions will have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

18

THAWING AND WARMING UP

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 set between 50° and 140 °C.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red ray grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan
then distributes it throughout the oven. The temperature must be set between 50° and
175 °C for max 30 minutes. It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Use with the oven door closed.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

For correct use see “GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”.

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal
steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

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 set between 50° and 225 °C.

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.

19

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

Set the switch to position .
Set the temperature knob to 175 °C and
after having preheated the oven, simply
place the food on the shelf.
Close the door and let the oven operate
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.

USE OF THE GRILL

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
Introduce the food to be cooked, posi-

tioning the rack as close to the grill as
possible.

The drip tray should be placed under the
rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Grill 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.

COOKING ADVICE

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position

and

gives simultaneous

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.

This type of cooking saves time and
energy.

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.

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.

USE OF THE ROTISSERIE

– Insert the tray into the lowest rack hold-

ers of the oven and insert the rod sup­port into the intermediate rack holders
(fig. 5.3).

– Put the meat to be cooked onto the rod,

being careful to secure it in the center
with the special forks.

– Insert the rod into the motor opening

and rest it onto the support of the spit
collar; then remove the grip by turning it
to the left.

Grill with the oven door closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes

very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
It is recommended that you do not
grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.

ROTISSERIE (Fig. 5.3)

The oven is equipped with a rotisserie for
spit roast cooking using the grill.

The rotisserie consists of:
– an electrical motor mounted on the

rear part of the oven

– stainless steel spit with a removable

stay-cool handle and two adjustable
sets of prongs

– spit support to be inserted in the cen-

tral guide of the oven.
The rotisserie motor is operated by the
switch knob on grill position .

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 tray should be placed under the
rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Grill 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.

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.

26

USE OF SPECIAL DISH RACK

This special shelf can be used as a dish
rack or when turned over, as a normal
shelf for oven cooking.
It must be inserted between the guides
of the lateral racks.

USING THE SPECIAL SHELF AS A DISH RACK

Slide in the shelf on the guides, on the
lower level of the lateral racks.
The prongs where the plates are to be
inserted must be turned upwards.
The shelf must be fitted so that the safe­ty catch, which stops it sliding out, faces
the bottom of the oven (see detail of fig­ure 5.4).
The plates must be positioned as indicat­ed in figure 5.4.
To facilitate this operation pull the spe­cial rack up to the safety lock.

KEEP ATTENTION: Plates are hot
after warming. It is advisable to han­dle the plates using oven gloves.

USING THE SPECIAL RACK FOR NORMAL
COOKING

Slide in the shelf on the guides: the
safety catch must be turned toward the
oven base (see detail of figure 5.5).
The flat surface can be used to put
cooking pans or to put food directly on
the rack; in the second case the drip tray
should be placed under the rack to catch
the cooking juices and fats.

ADVICE FOR USE AND MAINTE­NANCE OF SELF CLEANING PANELS

The self cleaning panels are covered
with a special microporous enamel
which, absorbs and removes oil and fat
splashes during normal baking over
200°C.
If, after cooking very fatty foods, the
panels remain dirty, operate the oven
empty on max temperature for about 30
minutes.
These panels do not require to be
cleaned, however it is advised to period­ically remove them from the oven (at
least the side panels) and to wash them
with tepid soapy water and then wipe off
with a soft cloth.

DO NOT CLEAN OR WASH THEM
