Instructions for the user

6. USING THE COOKING HOB

6.1 General warnings and advice

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in
their housings with their respective burner caps.

Before lighting the burners lift the glass lid (where present); before closing it again, turn off
all the burners and wait for them to cool.

6.2 Lighting the hob burners

All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are placed together on the
front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob.
The appliance is equipped with an electronic lighter. Simply press the knob
and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner
lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to “0”
and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob
pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The
burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple
has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for
longer.

If the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before
trying to light the burner again.

6.3 Practical hints for using the hob burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with
lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up
the sides of the pan (see paragraph “6.4 Pan diameters”). Once the contents
come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid
does not boil over. If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess
from the hob.
To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles
must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth,
flat bottoms.

If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at
least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated.

To prevent damage to the appliance or adjacent units, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the
perimeter of the hob.

Make sure never to come into contact with the lid glass with pots or pans that are still hot. The glass
could crack and break with the heat.

6.5 Glass lid (on some models only)

The toughened glass lid with aluminium
edging protects the hob when not in use.

Make sure never to come into contact with the lid glass with pots or pans that are still hot. The glass
could crack and break with the heat.

The lid must be raised (open) when the oven or hob is being used. Before lighting the burners lift the
glass lid; before closing it again, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool.

Instructions for the user

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 from 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 Oven runners

The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays and racks at different
heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see
figure).

7.3 Storage compartment (on some models only)

The storage compartment is in the bottom of
the cooker. 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 Cooling fan system (on some models only)

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.

7.5 Internal light

The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected.

14

Instructions for the user

7.6 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 fully
open. To access food, always leave the door open 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.

To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's lid (where present) must always be raised when using
the oven.

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. COOKING WITH THE OVEN

The ECO symbol indicates which function gives the least energy consumption.

BOTTOM:

The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that
require a longer basic cooking time, without affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. This symbol also includes the cleaning function, see
“9.6 VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)”.

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.

GRILL:

The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin
and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present)
gives the food an even browning at the end of the cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs
and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be
grilled evenly.

FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:

The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving
perfect grilling even to very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of

pork). We recommend using the 4

FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM:

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

CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the
oven) allows to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperatures and cooking time. 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 smells and flavours.

Instructions for the user

8.1 Cooking advice and instructions

8.1.1 General advice

• We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Place the food in the oven only

once the cooking light is off.

• 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 the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food
could be well-cooked 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.

• For rapid preheating use a fan-assisted function, then select the required function.

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 time 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 runner 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.

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 oven
cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.

•

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

9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not use steam jets for cleaning 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 stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

9.2 Ordinary daily cleaning

To clean and preserve the 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 ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils 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 allowed to set for too long,
they could ruin the enamel covering the inside of the oven.

9.4 Cleaning the cooking hob parts

9.4.1 Glass lid (where present)

If liquids fall on the lid when it is closed, carefully remove them with a cloth before opening it.

For easier cleaning, the lid can be taken off its hinges.
1 Lower the lid to closed position.
2 Unscrew the screws positioned on the back of the two hinges (indicated

for the various models by the arrow in the figure) and lift it upwards.
3 Clean.
4 Insert the lid into the guides. Tighten the fastening screws on the

hinges in closed position.

21

Instructions for the user

9.4.2 Pan stands

Remove the pan stands and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure
to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the hob.
Continuous contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over
time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the
operation of this component.

9.4.3 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns

The burner caps and flame-spreader crowns can be removed for easier
cleaning. Wash them in warm water and a non-abrasive detergent making
sure to remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry.
Refit the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they are correctly in
place with their respective burner caps, and ensuring that the holes A in
the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples.

Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.

9.4.4 Igniters and thermocouples

For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must always be
perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if
necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

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).

22

Instructions for the user

9.5 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 hot 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.

9.5.1 Removing guide frames

Removing the guide frames enables the sides to cleaned
more easily. This should be done each time the automatic
cleaning cycle is used (on some models only).
To remove the guide frames:
1 pull the frame towards the inside of the oven to unhook

it from its housing A, then slide it out of the seats at the

back B.
2 When cleaning is complete, repeat the above

procedures to put the guide frames back in.

9.5.2 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's glass doors (e.g. powder products, spot­removers 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.

9.5.3 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. This also helps remove any dirt on the seal.

23

Instructions for the user

9.6 VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)

VAPOR CLEAN is an assisted cleaning procedure which facilitates the removal of dirt. Thanks to this
process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven with great ease. The dirt residues are softened by
the heat and water vapour for easier removal afterwards.

Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not contain any foods or large
spills from previous cooking operations.

Carry out assisted oven cleaning operations only when the oven is cold.

9.6.1 Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle

Completely remove all
accessories from inside the
oven. The roof lining can be left
inside the oven (where present).

Do not spray excessive amounts of the water and washing up liquid solution. We recommend spraying
approx. 20 times at the most.

Pour approx. 40 cc of water onto
the floor of the oven (as shown in
the figure). Make sure it does not
overflow out of the cavity.

Spray a water and washing up
liquid solution inside the oven
using a spray nozzle. Aim the
spray towards the oven cavity.
At the end of this process, close
the door and set the cleaning
cycle.

24

Instructions for the user

9.6.2 Setting the assisted cleaning cycle

Once the preparations have been made for the assisted cleaning cycle, proceed as follows:

1 Turn the function knob to the symbol and the temperature selection knob to the symbol for

the VAPOR CLEAN function.
2 Set a cooking time of 15 minutes using the electronic programmer.
3 At the end of the assisted cleaning cycle, the timer will deactivate the oven heating elements.

9.6.3 End of the assisted cleaning cycle

The water remaining at the end of the assisted cleaning cycle cannot be left inside the oven for long (for
example overnight).

You are advised to wear a pair of gloves during these processes.

At the end of the cleaning cycle, open the door and wipe away the less stubborn dirt with a microfibre
cloth. Use an anti-scratch sponge with brass filaments on tougher encrustations.

We recommend removing the door as described in “10.2 Removing the door” to facilitate access to
restricted spaces.

For improved hygiene and to avoid food being affected by any unpleasant odours, we recommend that
the oven is dried using a fan function at 160°C for approximately 10 minutes. To set the function, see
“4.1.2 Function selection knob”.

If the VAPOR CLEAN cycle is activated after fatty cooking operations, of meat in particular, it may be
necessary to use an oven cleaning product at the end of the cycle to completely remove any stubborn
residue.

25

Instructions for the user

10. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

The oven requires periodic minor maintenance or replacement of parts subject to wear, such as gaskets,
light bulbs, etc. Specific instructions for each operation of this kind are given below.

Before any intervention that requires access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.

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

10.1 Replacing the light bulb

If a light bulb needs to be replaced because it is worn
or burnt out, remove the guide frames; see “9.5.1
Removing guide frames”.
Then remove the bulb cover using a tool (e.g. a
screwdriver).
Remove the bulb by unscrewing (filament bulbs) or
pulling it (halogen bulbs) in the indicated direction.
Replace the bulb with one of the same type (25W for
filament bulbs or 40W for halogen bulbs).

Do not touch halogen bulbs directly with your fingers, wrap them in insulating material.

10.2 Removing the door

Open the door completely.
Insert a pintle into the hole in the
hinge. Repeat for both hinges.

Grasp the door on both sides
with both hands, lift it forming an
angle of around 30° and remove it.

To reassemble the door, put the
hinges in the relevant slots in the
oven, making sure that grooved
sections C are resting completely
at the base of the slots. Lower
the door and once it is in place
remove the pins from the holes in
the hinges.

26

This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural Gas or ULPG
(propane/butane). Refer to page 25 for the relevant burner pressure and
appropriate injector sizes. When the appliance is to be connected to
Natural Gas then the pressure regulator supplied must be fitted to the
gas inlet. A test point (for checking the gas pressure) is supplied either
with the regulator or as a separate fitting in the case of ULPG (propane)
appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in accordance
with the requirements of AS5601. A ½” BSP connector at the inlet is
recommended and the gas supply line to the appliance must be of
adequate length to allow sufficient withdrawal of appliance for service or
disconnection and be:

1. annealed copper pipe or;

2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869 & be at least Class “B”, 10 mm
diameter.

The appliance must be installed with provision to allow the gas to be turned off and disconnected for
servicing and removal of the appliance as required from the gas supply. Before the appliance is operated
make certain all relevant parts are placed in the correct position.
On completion of the installation, the installer MUST check for gas leaks and test each burner
individually for the correct flame. Once all burners have been tested individually, turn all burners on
together. Warranty service calls do not cover these adjustments!
To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is recommended at least 2 large size burners are
used. Ensure appliance is secured to wall when installation is completed.
N.G. The regulator supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the rear of the appliance. An approved
manual shut-off valve must be installed. The N.G. regulator must be checked and adjusted to 1.0kPa
after installation.

U.L.P.G. Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly. The pressure must
be checked to ensure it is operating at 2.75kPa. A separate test point
fitting must be installed between the piping & the appliance for the
pressure to be checked to ensure it is operating at 2.75kPa.

Installation with flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 2
metres when fully extended; make sure that the hoses do not come into contact with moving parts and
that they are not crushed in any way.

11.3.1Connection to liquid gas

Use a pressure regulator and make the connection on the gas cylinder following the guidelines set out in
the regulations in force.
Make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the paragraph “10.3 Burner
