• power levels are indicative and can vary according to the pan used or the settings made.
  Advantages of induction cooking

The appliance is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in the base of the pan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.

• Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetisable cookware is required) compared to traditional electric cooking.
• Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the pan placed on the hob.
• High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the pan.
• Rapid heating speed.
• Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the pan; foods which overflow do not stick.

Power control
The hob is fitted with a power control module that optimises/limits consumption. If the overall set power level exceeds the maximum limit permitted, the electronic circuit board will automatically manage the power supplied by the hot plates. The module tries to maintain the maximum deliverable power levels. Levels set by the automatic control will appear on the display.
Priority is given to the first zone that is set in chronological order.
The power control module does not affect the total power consumption of the appliance.

Control panel

1. Indicator light
   The indicator light comes on to indicate that the oven is heating up. It turns off as soon as it reaches the set temperature. It flashes regularly to indicate that the temperature set inside theoven is kept constant.

2. Temperature knob
   This knob allows you to select the cooking temperature. Turn the knob clockwise to the required value, between the minimum and maximum setting.

3. Digital programmer
   For displaying the current time, setting programmed cooking operations and the minute minder timer.

4. Function knob
   The oven’s various functions are suitable for different cooking modes. After selecting the required function, set the cooking temperature using the temperature knob.

Other parts
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see General description).
Cooling fan
The fan cools the oven and comes into operation during cooking. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off.
Do not obstruct ventilation openings and heat dispersal slots.

Interior lighting
The appliance’s interior lighting comes on:

• When the door is opened.
• When any function is selected, apart from the function.

When the door is open, it is not possible to turn off the interior lighting.

Accessories

• Not all accessories are available on some models.
• The accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of current legislation.
• Original supplied and optional accessories can be requested to Authorised Assistance Centres. Use only original accessories supplied by the manufacturer.

Oven tray

Useful for collecting fat from foods placed on the rack above and for cooking pies, pizzas, baked desserts, biscuits, etc.
Tray rack

Useful for supporting containers with food during cooking.
Self-cleaning panels (on some models only)

Useful for absorbing small grease residues.

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.

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.
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 zone and 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.
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.
Advice on energy-saving
The diameter of the base of the pan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.

• When buying a pot, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• The base of the cookware must be thick and completely flat. In addition, the hob should be clean and dry as well.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover the pans with a suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
• Do not use cast-iron cookware or cookware with a rough base.

If hob and oven are being used at the same time, under certain conditions the maximum power limit that can be usedby your electrical system might be exceeded.
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.
Error warnings
In the event of a malfunction or abnormal operation, the display shows a message containing the code associated with the error. Error codes always begin with the letter “F” followed by a digit or letter (e.g. “Ft or F4”). Errors coded as:

• “Fc”
• “Ft”
• “FE”

Indicate an overheating of the appliance or part of it, so the appliance must be switched off immediately, all pans removed and allowed to cool down.
If these errors persist or different ones are displayed, the code should be noted and the Technical Support should be contacted.
Residual heat indicators are not to be considered as error codes.

• Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.
• Turn the food to brown on both sides.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs to be cooked for a few more minutes.

Advice for cooking with the Grill

• Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
• With the Fan with grill function (if present), we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend that you set the temperature to the maximum value to optimise cooking.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits

• Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: At the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.

Advice for cooking on two shelves:

• We recommend using two racks (they can be obtained from Authorised Assistance Centres).
•  To facilitate the flow of air, place the moulds/ovenware at the centre of the racks and make sure that their width/diameter does not exceed 30 cm.
• Position the racks keeping an empty shelf between them.
• Depending on the type of food and the increased quantity in the oven, cooking on two levels may take slightly longercompared to cooking on a single shelf.
• We suggest using the following functions when cooking on two shelves: CIRCULAIRE and CIRCULAIRE+BOTTOM.

Advice for defrosting and proving

• Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

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, water- repellent 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 cleaningthe 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
Door disassembly
For easier cleaning it is recommended to remove the door and place it on a tea towel.
To remove the door proceed as follows:

1. Open the door completely and insert two pins into the holes on the hinges indicated in the figure.

2. Grasp the door on both sides with both hands, lift it forming an angle of around 30° and remove it.

3. To reassemble the door, put the hinges in the relevant slots in the oven, making sure that grooved sections A are resting completely in the slots.

4. Lower the door and once it is in place remove the pins from the holes in the hinges.

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 internal glass panes
For easier cleaning the internal glass panes of the door can be removed.

1. Open the door and lock it with the appropriate pins.

2. Remove the internal glass pane by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows 1.

3. Then pull the internal glass pane out of the front profile following the movement indicated by the arrows 2.

4. Lift the intermediate glass unit upwards.
   Note: In some models, the intermediate glass unit consists of two panes.
   During this step, the grommets may come out oftheir seats.
   • Insert the grommets into their seats. The feet of the grommets must be facing the outer glass

5. Clean the external glass pane and the panes removed previously.

6. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and neutral detergent.

7. Reinsert the intermediate glass unit and reposition the inner glass.
   The intermediate glass pane must be repositioned on the open door so that the screen printing in the corner can be read from left to right (the rough part of the screen printing must face the external glass pane of the door).

8. Be sure to fit the 4 pins of the inner glass well into their seats on the door.

Cleaning the oven cavity
In order to keep your oven in the best possible condition, clean it regularly after letting it cool down.
Avoid letting food residue dry inside the oven cavity, as this could damage the enamel.
Take out all removable parts before cleaning.
For easier cleaning, it is recommended to remove:

• the door;
• The rack/tray support frames.

In the event you are using specific cleaning products, we recommend running the oven at maximum temperature for 15-20 minutes in order to eliminate any residue.

Drying
Cooking food generates moisture inside the appliance. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the appliance’s operation in any way.
Each time you finish cooking:

1. Let the appliance cool down.
2. Remove any dirt from inside the appliance.
3.  Dry the interior of the appliance with a soft cloth.
4.  Leave the door open until the inside of the appliance has dried completely.

Regenerating the self-cleaning panels (on some models only)

The regeneration cycle of the self-cleaning panels (catalytic cycle) is a cleaning method that uses heat to remove light grease residues. It does not remove sugar-based residues.

1. First clean the base and the top of the oven cavity using a microfibre cloth soaked in water and neutral washing up liquid. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Set a regeneration cycle by selecting a fan assisted function at the maximum temperature for one hour.

We recommend carrying out the regeneration cycle every 15 days.

Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the rack/tray support frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily.
To remove the rack/tray support frames:

• Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven cavity to unhook it from its groove A, then slide it out of the seats B at the back.

• When cleaning is complete, repeat the above procedures to put the rack/tray support frames back in.

Vapor Clean (on some models only)

See General safety instructions.
The Vapor Clean function is an assisted cleaning procedure that facilitates the removal of dirt. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very easily. The dirt residues are softened by the heat and water vapour for easier removal afterwards.

Preliminary operations
Before starting the Vapor Clean cycle:

• Completely remove all accessories from inside the oven.
• Remove the temperature probe, if present.
• Remove the self-cleaning panels, if present.
• Pour approx. 120 cc of water onto the floor of the oven. Make sure it does not overflow out of the cavity.
• Spray a water and washing up liquid solution inside the oven using a spray nozzle. Direct the spray towards the side walls, upwards, downwards and towards the deflector.

We recommend spraying approx. 20 times at the most.
Do not spray the deflector if it has a selfcleaning coating.

• Close the door.
• During the assisted cleaning cycle, wash the self-cleaning panels (where fitted), which were previously removed, separately in warm water and a small amount of detergent.

Vapor Clean cycle setting

1. Turn the functions knob to symbol or ****(where present).
2. Turn the temperature knob to the symbol .
3.  Allow the cleaning cycle to run for 18 minutes.

Vapor Clean End

1. Turn the function knob to 0 to exit from the function.
2.  Open the door and wipe away the less stubborn dirt with a microfibre cloth.
3. Use a non-scratch sponge with brass filaments on hard to remove deposits.
4. In case of grease residues use specific oven cleaning products.
5. Remove the residual water inside the oven.
6. Replace the self-cleaning panels and the rack/tray support frames, if fitted.

For greater hygiene and to avoid foods taking on unpleasant odours:

• We recommend drying the inside of the oven with a fan assisted function at 160°C for around 10 minutes.
• If self-cleaning panels are fitted, we recommend that you dry the inside of the oven with a simultaneous catalytic cycle.

We recommend wearing rubber gloves for these operations.
We recommend removing the door in order to make the manual cleaning of the parts that are difficult to reach easier.
