2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Consult the installation instructions for safety standards on electrical or gas appliances and for ventilation functions. In your interests and for your safety the law requires that the installation and servicing of all electrical and gas appliances be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the regulations in force. Our approved installers guarantee a satisfactory job. Gas or electrical appliances must always be uninstalled by suitably skilled people.

Before connecting the appliance to the power grid, check the data on the plate against the data for the grid itself.

If the appliance is installed on a raised platform, secure it using suitable fastening systems.

Before carrying out installation/maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the power grid.

If the cooking appliances are installed in motor vehicles (for example, camper vans, caravans etc.), they must only be used when the vehicle is stationary.

Install the appliance so that when opening the drawers or doors of units positioned at the level of the hob there is no possibility of making contact with pans positioned on top of it.

Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

3.1 Our environmental care

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions.

The appliance does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.

3.2 Your environmental care

Our appliances are packed in non-polluting materials, which are therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packing correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.

Accessories available on request:

• Original supplied and optional accessories may be ordered from any Authorised Support Centre.

• Use only original accessories supplied by the manufacturer.

5.1 Using the reduction racks

The reduction racks should be placed on top of the hob racks as shown in the adjacent figure. Make sure they are stable. The WOK rack should only be used when cooking with a wok.

Instructions for the user

5.2 Using the rack or tray

The racks and trays are equipped with a mechanical safety lock which prevents them from being taken out accidentally. To insert the rack or tray correctly, check that the lock is facing downwards (as shown in the figure at the side). To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly. The mechanical lock (or the extension piece where present) must always face the back of the oven.

Gently insert racks and trays into the oven until they come to a stop.

In models with runners, clean the trays before using them for the first time. Cleaning will remove any manufacturing residues, which may otherwise scratch the sides of the oven cavity when trays are being inserted.

5.3 Using the support rack

The support rack is inserted into the tray (as shown in the figure). Using this, foods can be cooked and the fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.

5.4 Using the rotisserie rod (on some models only)

When cooking with the rotisserie, position the frame on the second runner (see 7.2 Oven runners). Once the frame is inserted, the shaped part must sit facing outwards (as shown in the figure). Then prepare the rotisserie rod with the food, using the clip forks provided. So that you can handle the rod with the food on it readily, screw on the handle provided.

Having prepared the rotisserie rod with the food, position it on the guide frame as shown in the figure. Insert the rod into the hole (detail B) so that it connects with the rotisserie motor. Make sure that the pin is placed correctly on the guide frame (detail A).

Instructions for the user

6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1 General warnings and advice

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned with the 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.
