Electric hotplates

The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four
hot plates. There are two different types of plates.

Normal

This is a 7 position control knob: 0 = off and 1-6 indicate
the levels of power uo to the mawimum.

Rapid hot Plate

This type is indicated by a red circle in the middle of the
plate.
The red circle is painted on and so will deteriorate and
may come off completely over a period of time.
A rapid plate will heat up much more quickly than a normal
plate.

Hints and tips

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:

- they should be 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.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split
onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care
must be taken as these can self-ignite when
over-heated.

Normal and rapid plates: For best results we advise
you to initially regulate the switch to “rapid” to
accelerate the heating of the plate and then turn
the switch to the position most suitable for the
food to be cooked.

Pots and pans

Remember that a large recipient offers a larger surface
to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow
recipient.
Always use recipients of a size suitable for the food to
be cooked. In particular, take care that recipients are
not too small for liquid preparations which could easily
spill over or that they are not too big for food which must
be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are
easily burnt by fats and juice.
For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not open.
A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar which,
when spilling onto the bottom of the oven, caramelize
and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic
handles in the oven as they may not support the heat.

First use of the hob

When using the hob for the first time, it is important to
note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a
slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time.
This is quite normal and will disappear after a few minutes.

First use of the oven

During the first minutes of use, the thermal insulation of
the oven, and residual grease from manufacture, produce
smoke and disagreeable smells. On first use, we advise
heating the oven, empty, for approximately 45 minutes.
Then leave to cool and clean the inside of the oven with
hot water and a mild detergent.

Electric oven

Oven function control knob

Permits the choice of cooking temperature most suitable
and separate action of the heating elements.

Explanation of symbols:

min-max Range of temperature regulation

Lower heating element

Upper heating element

Grill element

To select the temperature turn the switch in a clockwise
direction and place sign in front of the symbol
corresponding to the temperature required, included
between min. (50°C) and max. (230°C).
The temperature will be maintained constant by the
thermostat.
If a different type of heating is required, for example more
heat on the bottom or the top, you should turn the switch

to the symbols

(heat from below) or (heat from
above). In these conditions the temperature will never
exceed 220°C for

and 180°C for and will not be

regulated by the thermostat.
When grilling, it is sufficient to turn the switch so that

the sign is in front of the symbol

.

When cooking in the oven or grill, in order to
avoid over-heating, always leave the
appliance cover open.

Operating control light

The operating control light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set.

Oven thermostat control light

The oven 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.

59

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 one shelf.

The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that the shelf is correctly positioned.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Suggestions for using the oven

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.

To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part.

Safety thermostat

In order to avoid excessive overheating due to incorrect
use of the appliance or else to a faulty component, the
oven is equipped with a safety thermostat which cuts off
the power supply if necessary. Operation is restored
automatically when the oven temperature decreases to
normal values. Therefore, if the thermostat cuts in because
you have not been using the appliance correctly, the oven
can be used again simply by waiting for the appliance to
cool down. If, instead, the thermostat cuts in because of
a faulty component, you should call the Service
Department.
