GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Before starting

1.Packaging materials (plastic film, expanded polystyrene, etc.) are potentially dangerous and must be kept out of the reach of children.

2.The packaging materials can be recycled, as confirmed by the symbol Ù.

3.Make sure the appliance has not been damaged during transport and that the oven door closes correctly.

4.Installation and electrical connection of the appliance must be entrusted to skilled personnel in accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufacturer and in compliance with established safety standards.

5.Remove packaging residues from inside and outside the appliance. Remove the accessories. Keep cardboard and plastic protective packages in a safe place for future use, or dispose of them properly.

6.Hotplates

x Heat up empty for about 3-5 minutes.

xNever cook the food directly on the electric hotplates, but always use pans or containers.

7.Oven

xEmpty the oven and close the door. Heat the oven at the maximum temperature setting for around two hours to eliminate the odour of grease and fumes from the manufacturing process. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated and do not remain in the room during this process.

xClean the oven and accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid.

xDuring and after use of the oven, certain parts will become very hot (e.g. the oven door inspection window). Do not touch hot parts.

xKeep children well away from the appliance while it is in use.

xFire risk! Do not store flammable material in the oven, above the hob or in the accessory drawer.

xMake sure that electrical cables connecting other appliances near the cooker cannot come into contact with the hob or be trapped in the oven door.

xDo not line the oven walls with aluminium foil. Do not place baking trays or the drip tray on the floor of the oven chamber.

xDo not allow heavy or sharp objects to drop on the hob.

xThe manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to property caused by incorrect or improper use of the appliance.

xThe various components of the appliance are recyclable. Dispose of them in accordance with the regulations in force in your country. If the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power cord.

USING THE NORMAL AND HIGH-SPEED HOTPLATES

Tip:

The yellow pilot light remains on as long as a hotplate is switched on.

Turn the control knob to the performance level required:

1.Boiling and browning: setting “5” or “6”.

2.Frying: setting “4”.

3.Simmering: setting “2” or “3”.

4. Simmering and warming up: setting “1”.

5. To switch OFF: setting “0”.

xWhen necessary select a higher or lower setting.

xWith sensitive foods turn down earlier.

HIGH-SPEED HOTPLATES (RED DOT)

These are used for particularly quick boiling and browning.

TIP FOR ENERGY SAVING

Use the residual heat. For nearly all boiling or frying the hotplates can be switched to “0” 5 – 10 minutes before finishing.

TIPS FOR PANS

x Use special pans for electric cookers with flat and solid bottoms. Pans with turned bottoms are particularly suitable.

x Uneven pans require longer cooking times and consume more energy.

xThe pan diameter should be the same as that of the hotplate or slightly larger.

xTo save energy, always use lids.

xDo not leave any wet or damp lids on the hotplate.

xPut the pan on the hotplate first, then switch on.

xNever cook the food directly on the hotplates but use special pans or containers.

USING THE OVEN

SIDE GUIDES

CHILD LOCK

 

 

 

 

The embossed oven side walls form 4 guides for the insertion of the drip tray, baking trays and grids.

Recommended grid/baking tray levels are shown in the tables at the end of this handbook.

Side racks

The oven has two removable side racks which allow for four different oven-loading positions. They provide support for the drip tray, baking tray and/or grid, which slide between the two guides on either side of the oven, at the same height. When you fit the tray or grid, take care to position it correctly so that it is horizontal. For the choice of the best oven position, refer to the baking and grilling tables.

The cookers are equipped with a “Child lock” safety device.

Switching on and off

To switch on the oven turn the cooking mode selector Q and the temperature selector P to the required positions.

The cooking mode selector Q can be turned in either direction.

The temperature selector knob P must be turned to the right to switch on the oven and to the left, position N, to switch it off.

Preheating

Preheating is unnecessary when preparing roasts, casseroles, and slow-cooking dishes in general. Oven preheating is recommended, however, for delicate cooking and dishes that require shorter cooking times (pastries, etc.). Consult the cooking time tables at the back of the handbook.

The outdoor parts of the oven become hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

Energy saving tips

You can utilise residual heat by setting the control knob to “0” for approximately 5 or 10 minutes to finish nearly all types of cooking.

You can also cook side dishes, such as potatoes, rice or vegetables, together with the meat course.

Oven light

Turning the knob to any setting switches on the oven light. The oven remains alight while any of the functions is on.
