ATTENTION: DETACH THE APPLIANCE FROM THE MAINS IF THE CERAMIC HOB IS
CRACKED.

DO NOT SCRATCH THE COOKTOP WITH CUTTING OR SHARP OBJECTS.
DO NOT USE THE COOKTOP AS A WORK SURFACE.

CAUTION! THE COOKING HOB BECOMES VERY HOT DURING OPERATION.
KEEP CHILDREN WELL OUT OF REACH.

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 upon 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 zones are shown by dark disks on the ceramic surface.

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 cast­iron). 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.
Make sure that the hob is clean before you use it.
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 cooker if the cooktop glass surface 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 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.

WARNING:

HOBS BECOME VERY HOT WITH USE, AND RETAIN THEIR HEAT FOR A
LONG TIME AFTER COOKING HAS FINISHED. CHILDREN SHOULD BE
SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES AND BE PREVENTED FROM TOUCHING THE
HOT SURFACES UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

8

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 is lit-up to
warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This lamp 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 long time (about 30 mins) after the cooking plate has been
switched off.

During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface; please pay especial
attention to children.

The lamp will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking
plate falls below 60°C.

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 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.

COOKWARE:

It is very important that the pans used on the hobs are made of a suitable material and have
the correct base as follows:

The base should be flat and smooth.
Any rough part on the pan base could scratch the hob surface.
Choose pans which are the same size as the hotplates and with bases that are as non

reflective as possible. eg. dull and dark.

9

Fig. 7

Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans made of the following materials can cause problems:

Cast Iron

The base may be rough which will scratch the hob.

Toughened Glass

If the pans become too hot, the hob may overheat causing the safety cut out to
operate too frequently thus reducing the cooking efficiency.

Copper

Can easily distort and will therefore not form a good contact between base and hob
which will result in uneven cooking.

COOKING HINTS:

Please note that these are only guidelines, you will quickly learn from experience which
setting is correct for your needs.

ECONOMIC COOKING

The ceramic glass retains heat, so you may find that you can switch off the heat 5
minutes before you finish cooking.
To reduce the cooking time, the plate can be set to the maximum setting at the

GENERAL FEATURES

With this oven there are 7 different programs available to satisfy every cooking need. The 7
positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:

by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

by forced convection

The fan in the oven sucks the air from 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
giving faster and more even cooking before it is sucked 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.

by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the top and bottom heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.

by radiant heat

The food is grilled by the infrared grill element.

by radiant heat and ventilation

The food is grilled by the infrared grill element and the heat is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.

by ventilation

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

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN

11

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 BAKE

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

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven
for one of the following functions.

THERMOSTAT KNOB

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).

GRILLING

The infrared grill element at the top of the oven comes on. The heat is dispersed by
radiation.
Use with the function knob set to , the thermostat knob from 50 to 200°C and with the

oven door closed.

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

Recommended for:

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

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.

DEFROST

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “ ” - othe r 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.

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° 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.

FAN GRILL

Both the infrared 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 maximum.
The oven should be preheated for approximately 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.

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.

13

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° and 150°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 and the fan come on - the heat from the element
being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50° 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

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:

Set the switch to position .

Set the thermostat knob to 185° C and preheat the oven.

Fill the dripping pan with hot water.

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.

14

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 longest cooking time will be put into the oven first and the other foods are
added as necessary according to their cooking times.

GRILLING AND COOKING “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 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.
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

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.

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 fats.

Grill with the oven door closed.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

CAUTION

This appliance must be used only for task it has explicitly been designed for, that is for
cooking foodstuffs. Any other form of usage is to be considered as inappropriate and
therefore dangerous.

Do NOT place combustible materials or products on this appliance at any time.
Do NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in use.
Before using for the first time, clean the cooktop with warm soapy water. We

recommend that you run each plate individually for several minutes. To do this, place a
saucepan of cold water on each plate in turn, and bring the water to the boil. This
should give enough time for the plates to burn off properly. During this procedure the
room should be well ventilated, as there may be an emission of smoke and a slight
odour.

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

Clean the inside of the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry
thoroughly.

Slide in the catalytic liners and wire racks on the oven wall as in fig. 10.
Slide in the grease filter on the back of the oven as in fig. 11.
Position the shelf and tray as per fig. 12.
To eliminate traces of grease in manufacture it is necessary to pre-heat the oven at the

maximum temperature:

for 60 minutes in the position, for 30 minutes in the position and for
another 15 minutes in the position.

USE AND CARE

18

Fig. 10 Fig. 11

GREASE FILTER

A special screen is provided at the back of the oven to catch grease particles, mainly
when meat is being roasted (fig. 11).

When baking pastry etc. this filter should be removed.
Always clean the filter after cooking as any solid residues on it might adversely affect

the oven performance.

19

Fig. 12

GENERAL ADVICE

Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off.

It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the
enamelled parts.

Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make

it unsafe.

VITROCERAMIC HOB

Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought (fig. 13).
Remove dust using a damp cloth.
Detergents can be used as long as they are not abrasive or corrosive.
All residues of detergent must be eliminated with a damp cloth.
Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic objects,

aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.
If an object melts on the top, remove immediately (while the top is still hot) using the

scraper to avoid permanent damage to the pyroceram surface.
Avoid using knives and pointed objects as they could damage the surface of the top.
Also avoid using abrasive sponges or wire wool which can permanently scratch the

pyroceram surface.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

20

Fig. 13

ENAMELLED PARTS

All the enamelled parts must be washed only with a sponge and soapy water or with non­abrasive products.
Dry, preferably, with chamois.

STAINLESS STEEL

The stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water and dried with a soft, clean cloth or
chamois. In case of difficult spots, use normal non abrasive detergents available on the
market or else a little warm vinegar.

OVEN

The oven with smooth enamel (without catalytic panesl fitted) must be cleaned after
every use, using suitable products.

Please note that after using the ovenleaving it on for 30 minutes on the highest
temperature eliminates most grime reducing it to ashes.

Do not use abrasive substances to clean the oven.

Advice for use and maintenance of catalytic panels.

The catalytic panels are covered with special microporous enamel which absorbs and does
away with oil and fat splashes during normal baking over 200°C.
If, after cooking very fatty foods, the panels remain dirty, operate the oven “idling” on max
temperature for about 30 minutes.
These panels do not need 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 wash or clean with abrasive products or with products containing acids or
alkalis.

The side panels are reversible and when the catalytic microporous enamel degrades, they
can be turned to the other side.

GRILL HEATING ELEMENT

The heating element is self-cleaning and does not require maintenance.

GREASE FILTER

Clean the filter after any cooking! The grease filter can be removed for cleaning and
should be washed regularly in hot soapy water (fig. 11).

Always dry the filter properly before fitting it back into the oven.

21

OVEN DOOR AND DRAWER

The internal glass of the oven door can be easily removed for cleaning by unscrewing the
two lateral fixing screws (fig. 14).
The drawer (fig. 15) comes out like a normal drawer.

Attention: Do not store flammable material in the oven, or the accessory drawer.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT

Before any maintenance is started involving electrical parts of the appliance, it must
be disconnected from the power supply.

The bulb must be a type resistant to high temperatures (300°C).
