USE

Preliminary operations
See General safety instructions.

• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories.
• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from the accessories and shelves.
• Remove and wash all the appliance accessories (see chapter “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”).

First heating

1. Set a cooking time of at least one hour (see paragraph “Using the oven”).
2. Heat the empty oven compartment at the maximum temperature to burn off any residues left by the manufacturing process.
   When heating the appliance
   • air the room;
   • don’t stay.

Carry out a first pre-heating cycle for each of the cavities in the appliance.
Using the accessories
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the side guides until they come to a complete stop.

• The mechanical safety locks that prevent the rack from being removed accidentally must face downwards and towards the back of the oven cavity.

Gently insert racks and trays into the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them for the first time to remove any residues left by the manufacturing process.

Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray. In this way fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.

Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel.
The relevant cooking zone is indicated next to each knob. Just turn the knob clockwise to the required power setting.
On first connection to the electrical mains, an automatic check will be carried out that will switch on all indicator lights for a few seconds.
After use, turn off the hot plates that were used by moving the relative knobback to position 0. Never rely solely on the cookware detector.

Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking
Cookware used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base.
Suitable cookware:

• Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases.
• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base.
• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base.

Unsuitable cookware:

• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware.

To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a  small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zonand start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable. 

Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom which is suitable for induction hot plates. Using cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the  heating system and prevent cookware from being detected on the hot plate.
Cookware recognition
When there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted and the symbol will appear one the display. If there is a suitable  saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system detects it and switches on the hob to the power level set using the knob. Energy transmission is also interrupted when  the saucepan is removed from the cooking zone (the symbol will be shown on the display). If the cookware recognition function is activated in spite of the saucepan or frying  pan on the cooking zone being smaller than the zone itself, only the necessary energy will be transmitted.

Saucepan recognition limits
The minimum diameter of the pan base is indicated by the cross on the cooking zone.

Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating the inductor.
Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation for each zone depends  on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone  turns off, a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot, the symbol  appears on the display.

Protection from overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high. To avoid excessively high temperatures  forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is reduced automatically.

Residual heat
If the cooking zone is still hot after being switched off, the symbol will be displayed on the display. The symbol clears once the temperature drops below 60°C.

Heating accelerator
Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator that allows the maximum power to be delivered for a time that is proportional to the selected power.

This function allows the selected power to be achieved in the shortest amount of time.

1. Turn the knob anticlockwise to position A and then release it. The display shows the symbol.
2. Select the required heating power (1..8) within 3 seconds. The selected power and the symbol will flash alternately on the display.
   The power level can be increased at any moment. The “maximum power” period will automatically be modified. Once the acceleration period is over the power level will remain the same as the one previously selected.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the appliance
See General safety instructions.
Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always and only use specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and  dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges and sharp scrapers as they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
See General safety instructions.
Clean and maintain the hob using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The silicon in these products creates a protective, waterrepellent membrane which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane and can therefore be removed easily. After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking surface as it might undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the cooking surface.

Food stains or residues
Light coloured marks from pans with aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off with a cloth moistened in vinegar. Remove any burnt-on residues after cooking; then rinse  with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Dirt, which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes, can scratch the hob when moving pans.  Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately. Changes in colour do not affect the operation and stability of the glass. These are not alterations to the  material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to remove using conventional cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Use of corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan bases can wear away the decoration on the hob over time and contribute to the formation of stains.
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.
After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly to prevent any water or detergent from interfering with its operation or creating unsightly marks.

Knobs
Do not use aggressive products containing alcohol or products for cleaning steel and glass when cleaning the knobs, as these products could cause permanent damage.
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water, then dried carefully. They can be removed by pulling them out from their housings.
Cleaning the door
Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.
Removing the door (auxiliary oven only) For easier cleaning it is recommended to remove the door and place it on a tea towel. To remove the door proceed as follows:

Fixed connection
Fit the power line with an all-pole circuit breaker with a contact separation distance sufficient to provide complete disconnection in category III overvoltage conditions,  pursuant to installation regulations.
For the Australian/New Zealand market:
The circuit breaker incorporated in the fixed connection must comply with AS/NZS 3000.
Instructions for the installer

• If you use a plug (if present) to connect to the power supply, the plug must be accessible after installation.
• Do not bend or trap the power cable.
• The appliance must be installed according
