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

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. Glass-ceramic hob

Clean thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and a drop of washing-up liquid. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic hob, but always use pans or containers.

7. Oven

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Do not lean aluminium sheets or plastic containers above the hot hob.

Do not scratch the hob with sharp objects. Do not use the hob as a work surface.

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

The 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.

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.

USING THE GLASS-CERAMIC HOB

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The indicator remains active as long as glass ceramic hob temperature exceeds 60

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

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.

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.

To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.

Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob.

Pots and pans should be dry. Place pans on the cooking areas marked on the hob.

Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.

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.

Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop but in special pans or containers.

CHILD LOCK

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

USE OF THE SAFETY DEVICE

x USE: The door closes normally and is

blocked by the safety device. To open the door move lever C to the R.

x ACTIVATION: Open the oven door and

with a coin slacken screw B. Lever C moves to the L after screw B is tightened in position 1.

x DEACTIVATION: With the door open

move lever C to the R and block it in this position by screwing screw B in position 2.

In order to open drawer please act as shown in the picture.

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 oven is equipped with two removable side supports which form 4 guides for the insertion of the drip tray, baking trays and grids. The grid, baking trays, and drip tray must be inserted between the pairs of steel bars located at the same height on each side. This system prevents the containers from tipping when they are extracted from the oven chamber. Recommended grid/baking tray levels are shown in the tables at the end of this handbook.
