GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

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

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

Fire risk! Do not store flammable material in the oven or in the warming drawer: it could catch fire when the appliance is in use.

Make sure that electrical cables connecting other kitchen appliances near the cooker cannot come into contact with the hot radiant zones or be trapped by the oven door.

Never line the oven with aluminium foil. Do not place baking trays or the drip tray on the floor of the oven.

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 cable and call the Customer Service.

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

x Clean thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth

and a drop of washing-up liquid. Rinse well with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

7. Oven

x Heat the empty and closed oven at the

maximum temperature for around two hours to eliminate the odour and fumes from the protective greases. 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 hot

water and washing-up liquid.

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

The various cooker components are recyclable. Dispose of them in accordance with local regulations. If the cooker is to be scrapped, cut off the power cable.

C (even after the radiant zone

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

To save energy, use the residual heat. For all boiling or fryingtheradiantzonescanbeswitchedto“0”5-10 minutes before the end of cooking.

TIPS FOR THE USE OF PANS

Use special pans for electric cookers with especially thick flat and solid bottoms (pans with the test mark for glass ceramic hob are available from specialist shops).

The pan diameter should be the same as that of the radiant zones or slightly larger.

Do not use pans with damaged or rough bottoms (cast iron pans). The hob surface could be scratched or the decoration damaged by scraping. Do not slide pans across the hob.

To save energy, always use lids.

Pans with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the surface.

Pans should be dry. Place pans on the radiant zones shown.

Do not leave any wet or damp lids on the radiant zones.

The glass ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully remove any food remains (especially food containing sugar), dirt and other residues with the aid of a cleaning agent.

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

USING THE OVEN

CHILD LOCK SAFETY DEVICE

Child lock

Child lock safety device The oven is equipped with a “Child lock” safety device.

ACTIVATION AND USE OF THE SAFETY DEVICE

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.

USE: The door closes normally and is blocked by the safety device. To open the door move lever C to the R.

DEACTIVATION: With the door open move lever C to the R and block it in this position by screwing screw B in position 2.

USING THE OVEN

Circulating air system

The air is drawn in through openings in the back oven wall, heated and re-injected inside the oven chamber. The circulating air function assures uniform and intensive heat distribution and permits simultaneous cooking on all three oven levels. The temperatures required are lower than those for traditional radiant heat ovens (see “Temperature selection”).

Upper and lower heating

GRILL

The grill has a hinge system which allows it to be lowered to allow proper access when cleaning the oven ceiling.

Side racks

Inside the oven the heating elements are located under the top and under the bottom. Heat is supplied by radiation.

The side racks can be removed easily; push the racks upwards gently and detach them from the oven wall. Remove the racks when lowering the grill heating element to clean the oven ceiling.

USING THE OVEN

Side racks

The oven has two removable side racks for four levels. They provide support for the drip tray, baking tray and grid, which slide between the two steel guides on either side of the oven, at the same height. This system prevents food tipping out when it is being taken out of the oven. See the tables to choose the levels for cooking and grilling.

Fat filter

The fat filter avoids the circulating air fan becoming dirty when roasting, grilling, etc.

Use the fat filter only when it is strictly necessary, i.e. remove it when using the oven for baked dishes, mount it when roasting and grilling.
