Operation

Push-Pull control knobs

Some models are provided with push-pull control knobs
(see picture). These knobs can be completely sunken
inside the control panel when the oven is not working.

Electric hotplates

To switch on the hotplate, turn the relevant control knob
to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 1 - 6

0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum

The hob has two types of hotplates:

Normal hotplates (back right and left, front right)

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6)
for a short while to boost the plates, and then adjusted to
the required setting.

Rapid hotplate (front left)

The rapid hotplate is indicated by a red dot, and will heat
up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dot is
painted on the plate, it may deteriorate during use and
even disappear completely after a period of time. This will
not affect the performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used
for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given
in the following table.

Very Gentle 1 To keep food warm

To melt butter and chocolate

Gentle 2 To prepare cream-sauces, stews

and milk puddings or to fry eggs

Slow 3 Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit,

boiling water or milk

Medium 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables,

pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or
fish

High 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish,

omelettes, steaks

Fast 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying

OFF 0

Mains on Light

The mains on light will come on when the oven function
control knob and/or the hotplate control knobs are set.

6

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:

• They should be fairly heavy duty.

• They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

• They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate.

This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the
plate control knob so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.

You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish cooking, and the final stage will be
completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,
stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook
at lower temperature which is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being spilt onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them
or with an empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric
plate. Always point pan handles inward or over
the work surface next to the hob to avoid
accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass
by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Centre.

Oven Function and Thermostat
control knobs

They enable to select the most appropriate type of
heating for the different cooking requirements by
appropriately connecting the heating elements and
adjusting temperature to the required level.

Conventional cooking - The heat comes from both

the top and bottom element, ensuring even
heating inside the oven.

Bottom heating element - The heat comes from

the bottom of the oven only.

Top heating element - The heat comes from the

top of the oven only.

Grill - The grill element will be on.

Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and

bake simoultaneously using any shelf, without
flavour transference.

Defrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist

in thawing of frozen food.

Thermostat Control Knob

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select
temperatures between 50°C and 230°C (MAX).

Thermostat Control Light

The thermostat control light will come on when the
thermostat control knob is turned. The light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle
on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

Mains on Light

The mains on light will come on when the oven function
control knob and/or the hotplate control knobs are set.

The Safety Thermostat

This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequential
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

Condensation and Steam

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible
to cook in a steamy environment and keep the
dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover,
the cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may
be produced which can be released when opening
the oven door. This is absolutely normal.

However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during cooking or
at the end of it to allow any build up of steam
or heat to release.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.

To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary before any
cooking.

We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the appliance.

Using the Oven

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 230°C.

• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.

• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12
in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.

The effects of dishes
on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright

shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium

with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

Always cook with the oven door closed.

Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied
with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Attention! - Do not place objects on the oven base

and do not cover any part of the oven with
aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause
a heat build-up which would affect the baking
results and damage the oven enamel. Always
place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium
trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over­heated. For the same reason, be careful when
placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any
fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens,
carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells
or smoke.

Hints and tips for using the oven

Hints and Tips on Cooking
Fish and Meat

You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip tray
in the first position from the bottom with some water in it.
The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be
cooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and 175
°C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the
outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher
temperature (between 200 and 230 °C) for a short time is
recommended.

Hints and Tips on baking

Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium tempera­ture (between 150 and 200 °C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.

Hints and Tips on grilling

If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.

.

Defrosting

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.

How to Use Defrosting

Turn the oven function control knob to ans set the

thermostat control knob to OFFposition  .

Hints and Tips

• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.

• ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.

• Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.

• Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.

Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid
has been added.

Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm
water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep
the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be
purchased from most hardware stores.
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that
the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when next used.

Drying

Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates thoroughly
by switching on to a low-medium setting for a few minutes.

Maintenance and Cleaning

16

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.

Oven Shelves

To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

External cleaning

Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been added.

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:

• Household detergent and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Cleaning the Oven

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.

17

The Oven Door and its gasket

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to
remove it from the oven.

Proceed as follows:

1. open the oven door completely;

2. find the hinges linking the door to the oven (see

picture 1);

3. unlock and turn the small levers located on the two
hinges (see picture 2);

4. handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides,
then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half­closed (see picture 3);

5. gently pull the oven door off its site (see picture 3);

6. place it on a steady plan;

Clean the oven door glass with warm soapy water and a
softh cloth only. Never use harsh abrasives.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed
the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.

Models in stainless steel or aluminium:

We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet
sponge and dry it up after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they
can damage the oven surface.
Clean the oven control panel following the same
precautions.

The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket
placed round the edge of the oven cavity.

• Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If
necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning
products.

•

If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local
Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been
repaired.

- Your domestic wiring system has an efficient earth
connection in compliance with the rules and laws in
force.

- The wall socket or the omnipole switch used for the
electrical connection can easily be reached after the
oven is built in.

The appliance is delivered without an electric supply cable,
therefore, you will have to fit to it a supply cable with
standard plug, suitable for the total electric load shown
on the rating plate.
The plug is to be inserted into a suitable wall socket.
If you require a direct connection to the electric network
(mains), it will be necessary to fit between the appliance
and the mains an omnipole switch, aith a minimum gap
between contacts of 3 mm. suitable for the required load
and in compliance with rules in force. The green 1 yellow
ground wire must not be interrupted by the switch.
The supply cable must in all cases be laid out in such a
way as to ensure that it does not reach at any given
point a temperature 50°C higher than the ambient tem­perature.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability in case these
accident-preventing rules are not observed.
Suitable power supply cables are the following types,
considering the respective necessary section of cable.

• H07 RN-F
