GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
x
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

6. Glass-ceramic hob
x
Clean thoroughly with a clean damp cloth
and a drop of washing-up liquid. Rinse with

x
Never cook the food directly on the glass
ceramic hob, but always use pans or
containers.
7. Oven
x
Empty 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.
x
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.
During and after use of the oven, certain
parts will become very hot (e.g. the oven
door inspection window). Do not touch hot
parts.
x
Keep children well away from the
appliance while it is in use.
x
Fire risk! Do not store flammable material in
the oven, above the glass ceramic hob or
in the accessory drawer.
x
Make sure that electrical cables connecting
other appliances near the cooker cannot
come into contact with the hob or be
trapped in the oven door.
x
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium
foil. Do not place baking trays or the drip
tray on the floor of the oven chamber.
x
Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to
drop on the glass ceramic hob. If the hob is
cracked or otherwise damaged by falling
objects etc., disconnect the electrical power
cord and call Customer Service.
x
Do not lean aluminium sheets or plastic
containers above the hot hob.
x
Do not scratch the hob with sharp objects.
Do not use the hob as a work surface.

USING THE GLASS-CERAMIC HOB
Radiant plates
All the radiant plates are equipped with automatic
thermostat; the front lh radiant plate has an adjustable
thermostat.
Automatic radiant plates
The knobs do not have fixed positions.
To switch on the radiant plates, turn the knob to position
12. Once the required temperature has been reached,
turn the knob to the required setting for cooking.
Observe the recommendations in the table.
Automatic start radiant plate
This function is on the front lh radiant plate. The
automatic thermostat on this radiant plate is activated
when the knob is set anywhere between 1 and 7. To
avoid the risk of fat fires at higher temperatures the
thermostat function is not active on between positions 8
and 12. The thermostat automatically switches from high
starting temperature to lower holding temperatures as
cooking proceeds so there is no need to turn the knob
from the starting position to a lower heat position. If you
wish to use this function, position the knob between 1
and 7 and pull it gently outwards. If the knob is
inadvertently pulled outwards or if you have set the
function and want to cancel it, reset the knob to 0. If
you select the wrong setting, just correct it by
repositioning the knob on the required setting. Starting
temperature will be automatically adapted to the new
setting.
Double radiant plates
(Mod. ACM 398 – ACM 377 only)
By switching on the second element, the surface area of
the rear lh and front lh radiant plates can be extended.
For this purpose, turn the control knob fully to the right
(position
).

Now return the knob to the required position. This knob
functions in the same way as described in the previous

USING THE GLASS-CERAMIC HOB

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The indicator remains active as long as glass ceramic
hob temperature exceeds 60
o
C (also after the glass
ceramic hob has been switched off or after power has
been restored following a mains failure). Do not touch
the glass ceramic hob when the residual heat indicator is
illuminated.
POWER SAVING TIPS
To save power, make use of the residual heat. 5 or 10
minutes before you finish cooking, set the control knob
to “0” .
USING THE IDEAL PANS
x
Use special pans for electric hobs with smooth, flat
and solid bottoms (pans with the test mark for
glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should be the same as the
radiant plate or slightly larger.
x
Do not use pans with damaged or rough bottoms
(cast iron pans). The hob surface could be scratched
or the decoration may be damaged. Do not slide
pots across the hob.
x
To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.
x
Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver
streaks or spots on the hob.
x
Pots and pans should be dry. Place pans on the
cooking areas marked on the hob.
x
Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.
x
The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean.
Carefully eliminate any food remains (especially
containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a
cleansing agent.
x
Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic
cooktop but in special pans or containers.

USING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN
ACM 376 – ACM 375
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.

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.
