Instructions for the User

Heating accelerator

Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator.
This system allows the zone to be operated at peak power for a time
proportional to the heating power selected.
To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select setting
“A” and then release. The letter “A” will appear on the display on the
hob.
You now have 3 seconds to select the heating setting of your choice.
Once a setting between 1 and 9 has been selected, “A” and the chosen
setting will flash in alternation on the display.
While the heating accelerator is in operation, the heating level can be
increased at any time. The "full power" time will be modified accordingly.
If the power is reduced by turning the knob anticlockwise, option "A" is
automatically deactivated.

Power Function

The power function allows the user to operate each heating zone
continuously at the maximum power for a time of no more than 10
minutes. This function can be used, for example, to bring a large amount
of water to the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the heat under meat.
Turn the knob clockwise and set heating level 9, then use the knob to set
the "P" position and release it. "P" appears on the corresponding zone
display.
After 10 minutes, the power is reduced automatically, the knob returns to
the 9 setting and the "P" disappears.
However, the power function can be turned off at any time by reducing
the heating level.
When the power function is selected for one heating zone (e.g. the left
front zone), the power absorbed by the second zone (left rear zone)
might be reduced to supply the maximum available energy to the first
zone.
Consequently, the power function takes priority over the heating
accelerator.
If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on,
the function is switched off.

4. HOB

Metal items such as cutlery or lids must never be placed on the surface
of the hob since they may become hot.

4.1 Cooking zones

The appliance is equipped with 5 cooking
zones having different diameters and powers.
Their positions are clearly marked by rings,
while the heating power is only released in the
area shown on the ceramic hob. The 5
cooking zones are of HIGH-LIGHT type and
start to heat up a few seconds after they are
switched on. The heat level of each zone can
be regulated from the minimum to the
maximum setting using the knobs on the front
panel.
Underneath each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor,
supplied with power by an electronic system, which generates a variable
magnetic field. When a pan is placed inside this magnetic field, the high­frequency currents concentrate directly on the bottom of the pan and
produce the heat needed to cook the foods.
The 5 lights between the cooking zones come on when the
temperature of one or more cooking zones exceeds 60° C..
The lights go out when the temperature drops to below
about 60° C.

Instructions for the User

When the hob is used for the first time, it should be heated to its
maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left
by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.

4.1.2 Types of pans

This type of appliance can only operate with pans of special kinds.
The bottom of the pan must be iron or steel/iron to generate the magnetic
field necessary for the heating process.
Vessels made from the following materials are not suitable:

− glass;

− porcelain;

− pottery;

− steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom;

To check that a pan is suitable, simply place a magnet close to its bottom:
if the magnet is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If no
magnet is to hand, put a little water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone
and switch it on. If the symbol appears on the display instead of the
power, the pan is not suitable.
The pans used for cooking must have certain minimum diameters to
ensure satisfactory operation.
The table below states the minimum pan diameters for each cooking
zone.

5. USING THE OVEN

5.1 Precautions and General Advice

When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the
maximum temperature (250°C) for long enough to burn off any oily
residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate
foods with unpleasant smells.

At first use after a power blackout, press the middle knob
seconds to enable oven cooking operations. For setting instructions, see
point "3.2. Electronic Programmer”.

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

To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam
inside the oven, open the door in two stages: hold

5 cm

it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then
open it completely. If you have to carry out any
procedures on foods, leave the door open for as
short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the
oven temperature which will impair the cooking
results.

7. COOKING ADVICE

The oven should always be preheated in fan mode to 30/40°C above the
cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces electricity consumption, as well as giving better results.

The oven door must be closed during cooking operations.

7.1 Conventional cooking

FUNCTION SELECTOR

THERMOSTAT SET AT 50 - 250°C

This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is
suitable for cooking food on just one shelf. The oven must be preheated
to the preset temperature. Do not place the food in the oven until the
thermostat light goes out. Very fatty meats can be placed inside the oven
when it is still cold. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without
thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C
lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat.

Use deep containers to prevent splashes from
dirtying the sides of the oven.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 Cleaning the ceramic hob

Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from
the electricity supply.

The ceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use,
when the residual heat warning lights have gone out.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean a hob, oven or range.

Any marks left by the use of pans with aluminium
bottoms can be wiped off with a cloth dipped in
vinegar. If burnt residues are left after cooking, remove
them with the scraper provided, rinse with water and
dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use of the
scraper considerably reduces the use of chemicals for
daily cleaning of the hob.

In any case, abrasive or corrosive cleaners (e.g. powder products, oven­cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal scouring pads) must never be
used.

8.2 Cleaning stainless steel

8.2.1 Routine daily cleaning

When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces, always use only
specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over
the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois
leather.

8.2.2 Food stains or spills

Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers; they will
damage surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of
wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Do not allow spills of foods with high sugar content (e.g. jam) to
dry inside the oven. If they dry for too long, they might damage
the enamel coating of the inside of the oven.

31

8.3 Cleaning the oven (without self-cleaning liners)

To keep the oven in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after
allowing it to cool down. Remove all removable parts.
Remove the side runners by unscrewing the ring-nut A and extract them
through the hole in the rear B.

• Clean the oven shelves and side runners with hot water and non­abrasive detergents, rinse and dry.

8.3.1 Self-cleaning liners

The oven is fitted with enamelled liners that are continuously self-cleaning.
These liners simplify cleaning of the oven and ensure it continues to
perform well over time.

8.3.2 Using the self-cleaning liners

To keep the inside of the oven clean and free from food residues and
unpleasant smells, it should periodically be operated empty at a
temperature of at least 200° C for a time varying between 30 and 60
minutes. This allows the self-cleaning liners to oxidise any deposits
present, which can then be wiped away with a damp sponge once the
oven has cooled.

8.3.3 Maintenance of self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned using abrasive creams and ordinary
cleaners. Simply wipe with a damp sponge to avoid damaging the special
enamel coating.

32

8.3.4 Removing the self-cleaning liners

Remove all accessories from the inside of the oven and proceed as
follows:

1. Remove the side runners (fig.1);

2. Extract the side liners "F" and "G" (fig. 2);

3. Extract the back liner "A" after undoing the threaded ring-nut "C" (fig.

2);

4. Replace the liners in their original positions.

8.4 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
ordinary detergent.

Instructions for the User

9. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Occasionally, the oven will require minor servicing procedures or the
replacement of parts subject to wear and tear, such as gaskets, light
bulbs, etc. The specific operations for each procedure of this kind are
provided below.

Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from
the electricity supply.

9.1 Changing the light bulb

Remove the protective cover A by unscrewing it anticlockwise and
replace the bulb B with another of the same type. Replace the protective
cover A.

34

Use only light bulbs approved for ovens (T 300°C).

Instructions for the User

9.2 Removing the door

Open the door completely and insert the pins (supplied) into the holes from
the inside. Close the door to an angle of about 45° and lift it off. To
reassemble, fit the hinges into their grooves, then lower the door into place
and extract the screwdrivers.

9.3 Oven door gasket

To allow thorough cleaning of the oven, the door
gasket can be removed. Before removing the gasket,
remove the oven door as described above. Once the
door has been removed, lift the tangs at the corners
of the gasket as shown.
