6. USING THE COOKING HOB

6.1 Before using the appliance

Metal objects such as cutlery or lids must not be placed on the hob surface as they can become very hot.

Before using the hob for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food unpleasant odours.

6.2 Cooking zones

The appliance has 5 cooking zones of various diameters and power levels. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and heat is released within the diameters traced on the glass ceramic surface. The 5 cooking zones are HIGH-LIGHT zones and come on a few seconds after activation. The heat intensity can be adjusted using

the knobs located on the front panel from a minimum of 1 to a maximum value of 9.

The cooking zones indicated by two concentric circles ( ) and by a circle +

fish kettle burner ( ) allow double heating, either within the inner circle or in

both circles. The five indicator lights located at the front between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more of the radiating zones exceeds 60°C. These indicator lights switch off when the temperature drops below approximately 60°C.

Instructions for the user

To obtain better results and save energy, only use containers suitable for cooking on electric cookers.

• The base of the containers must be thick and completely flat. Before placing a container on the hob, check that both hob and container are completely clean and dry.

• To avoid scratches to the hob, do not use cast iron containers or containers with an uneven base.

• In order to avoid wasting energy, make sure that the diameter of the container base is the same as the diameter of the circle marked on the hob.

Take care not to spill sugar or sugar mixtures on the hob when it is hot. Do not place materials or substances that could melt on the hob (plastic or aluminium foil). If melting does occur, in order to avoid compromising the condition of the hob surface, immediately switch it off and remove the melted material using the scraper provided, while the hob is still warm.

Failure to clean the glass ceramic hob straight away could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.

Important:

Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual heat indicator lights on the hob. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off.

Make sure that children do not touch the hob at any time.

7. USING THE OVEN

7.1 Before using the appliance

• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment.

• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover.

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

7.2 Cooling system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off.

7.3 Storage compartment

The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker, underneath the ovens. To open it, pull on the bottom of the door. It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc.

Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high.

7.4 Internal oven lights

The oven lights switch on by selecting any function.

Instructions for the user

7.5 General warnings and advice for use

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause hazards.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack.

To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: keep it half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then open it fully. If you need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove

any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

Instructions for the user

8. OVEN FUNCTIONS

STATIC: As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this

system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.

FAN-ASSISTED STATIC: The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels.

GRILL: Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows you to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any types of grilled vegetable side dishes.

FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork).

FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM: The combination of the fan with just the bottom heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already wellcooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.

BOTTOM + FAN-ASSISTED CIRCULAR: Fan-assisted cooking is combined with the heat coming from the bottom and allows food to be slightly browned at the same time. Perfect for any type of food.

CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and same type of cooking operation. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing odours and flavours.

DEFROSTING: Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of room temperature air inside the oven.

Instructions for the user

8.1 Cooking advice and instructions

8.1.1 General advice

We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in.

• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at all heights.

• In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).

• While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking.

8.1.2 Advice for cooking meat

• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.

• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

8.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits

• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.

• The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.

• Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.

• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.

8.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving

• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.

• The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.

• Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.

• When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.

• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.

• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

Instructions for the user

8.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill

• Using the Grill function (where present), meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.

• With the Fan-assisted grill function (where present), however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.

• We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.

8.2 To save energy

To save energy while using the appliance, the following instructions may be followed:

• Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.

• Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.

• Use the ECO function (where present) for cooking on a single runner.

• Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.

Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. The steam could reach the electronics, damaging them and causing short-circuits.

WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves while performing any cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.

Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).

We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.

9.1 Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the oven surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let the appliance cool first.

9.2 Ordinary daily cleaning

To clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

9.3 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces. Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth. Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

9.4 Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

The glass ceramic hob should be cleaned regularly, preferably after every use, once the residual heat indicator lights have gone off.

Smudges from aluminium-based pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened in vinegar. After cooking remove any burnt residues with the scraper provided; rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces the need for chemical detergents for the daily cleaning of the hob. Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-removers and wire sponges). Dirt which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can scratch the hob when moving saucepans. Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately. Changes in colour do not affect the functioning and stability of the glass ceramic. These are not alterations to the material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of saucepans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. These are difficult to remove with ordinary cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Using aggressive detergents, or friction with the base of saucepans, can wear away the decoration on the hob over time and contribute to the formation of stains.

9.5 Weekly cleaning

Clean and maintain the hob once a week using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. The silicon in these products creates a protective, water-repellent membrane which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane and can therefore be easily removed. After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking surface as it will undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the cooking surface.

9.6 Cleaning the oven

For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. Take out all removable parts.

• Clean the oven racks with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.

• For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “10.2 Removing the door”).

The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.

9.6.1 Removing guide frames

Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily.

To remove the guide frames: 1 Pull the frame towards the top of the oven

to unhook it from its housing A, then slide it out of the seats B at the back.

2 When cleaning is complete, repeat the

above procedures to put the guide frames back in.

Instructions for the user

9.7 Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents to clean the oven door glass panels (e.g. powder products, spot-removers and wire sponges). Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven's glass doors since they may scratch the surface.

9.8 Removing the door seal

To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the door seal may be removed. There are fasteners on all four sides to attach it to the edge of the oven. Pull the edges of the seal outwards to detach the fasteners. The seal must be replaced when it loses elasticity and hardens.

9.9 Cleaning the door seal

To keep the seal clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and lukewarm water. The seal should be soft and flexible (with the exception of pyrolitic models). In pyrolitic models, the seal may flatten over time and lose its original shape. To restore it, pinch the seal all the way along its perimeter. This also helps remove any dirt on the seal.

Instructions for the user

9.10 Cleaning self-cleaning panels (catalysis cycle)

If the self-cleaning panels are dirty, primarily with small amounts of grease, a heating cycle can be executed to regenerate them. Clean the base and the roof liner first with a microfibre cloth soaked in water and neutral washing up liquid, then rinse thoroughly. Set a regeneration cycle by selecting a fan-assisted function at the maximum temperature for one hour. If the panels are particularly dirty, after the regeneration cycle, remove them and wash them with neutral washing up liquid. Then rinse and dry them. Put the panels back in the oven and set a fan-assisted function at a temperature of 180°C for one hour, in order to ensure that they are thoroughly dry.

We recommend carrying out the self-cleaning panel regeneration cycle every 15 days.

The panel regeneration cycle is a cleaning method suitable for grease residues, not sugar-based ones.
