START-UP AND USE

Using the oven

The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door.

The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
   A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is All If maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

OPERATION indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than “ ”. It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated. Installing the shelves When inserting the shelves onto the guide rails, ensure the raised section is towards the rear of the oven. This prevents food from falling off the back of the tray.

Cooking modes
A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes

• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.

FAST COOKING mode

The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven.
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.

MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

PIZZA mode

The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

GRILL mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecote). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.

The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.

DEFROSTING mode

The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° – 100°C.

BOTTOM VENTILATED mode

The bottom heating element and the fan is activated, which allows for the heat distribution within the whole cavity of the oven. This combination is useful for light cooking of vegetables and fish.

BOTTOM mode

The lower heating element is activated. This position is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on the surface but require further cooking in the centre, or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only require moderate coloring on the surface. It should be noted that this function does not allow the maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of 180°C or lower).

Practical cooking advice

In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
  For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

WARNING! The oven is provided with a stop system to extract the racks and prevent them from coming out of the oven.(1) As shown in the drawing, to extract them completely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).

Using the cooking timer

1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used as a normal timer.
   To use the oven manually, in other words when you do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the symbol.

USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

Switching the cooking zones on and off

To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction.
To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise direction until it is in the “0” position.
If the COOKING ZONE ON indicator light is lit, this shows that at least one pf the cooking zones on the hob is switched on.

Cooking zones

The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red.
A. The cooking zone with radiant heating elements.
B. The residual heat indicator light: this indicates that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C, even when the heating element has been switched off but is still hot.

Cooking zones with radiant heating elements.

The circular radiant heating elements become red 10 – 20 seconds after they have been switched on.

Practical advice on using the hob

• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
  

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the heat produced.
  

• Always make sure that the base of the pan is completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both the pans and the hob remain effective for a longer period of time.

• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.

• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone A to become damaged.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Remember that the temperature of the cooking zones remains relatively high for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off.
• Keep any object that could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Keep plastic or aluminium objects away from the hob: if you forget them on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.
• Do not let children play with the appliance.
• Accessible parts may become hot during use. To avoid burns young children should be kept away.
• Care must be taken when using the bottom storage drawer, as the internal bottom surface of this drawer can get very hot.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health.
  The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
  Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product.
  All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.

• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.

CARE AND MAINTENCE

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any remaining drops of water should also be dried.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest Aftersales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Replacing the oven light bulb

1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains, remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket (see figure).
2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the electricity supply
   

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper (this is not supplied with the appliance).
  Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge – specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces – soaked in soapy water.

• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.

Steam-Assisted Oven Cleaning

This method of cleaning is recommended especially after cooking very fatty (roasted)meats.
This cleaning process allows to facilitate the removal of dirt of the walls of the oven by the generation of steam that is created inside the oven cavity for easier cleaning.
Important! Before you start steam -cleaning:

• Remove any food residue and grease from the bottom of the oven.
• Remove any oven accessories (grids and drip pans).
  Perform the above operations according to the following procedure:

1. pour 300ml of water into the baking tray in the oven, placing it in the bottom shelf. In the models where the drip pan is not present, use a baking sheet and place it on the grill at the bottom shelf;
2. select the function of the oven: BOTTOM   and set the temperature to 100 ° C;
3. keep it in the oven for 15min;
4. turn off the oven;
5. Once cooled the oven, you can open the door to complete the cleaning with water and a damp cloth;
6. eliminate any residual water from the cavity after finishing cleaning

When the steam –cleaning is done, after cooking especially fatty foods, or when grease is difficult to remove, you may need to complete the cleaning with the traditional method, described in the previous paragraph.
Perform cleaning only in the cold oven!
