Electric plate

Depending on the cooking the knob for

electric plate can be fixed on 6 different

positions (fig. 14), from 6 (maximum heat) to

1 (minimum heat).

To spare the electric plate and for saving

power, we advise you:

1. to use flat bottom pots, with the right

diameter, never smaller.

2. avoid liquids over flowing when boiling.

3. never leave the plates on without a pot on

them or with an empty pot on them.

In models supplied with a cover, it should not

be closed when the burners are still hot.

How to chose the burner

Above every knob there is a symbol for the

corresponding burner.

For better cooking results, always chose pans

which properly fit to the diameter of the burner

used (fig. 15).

We advise to lower the flame as soon as the

liquid starts boiling.

For a right ignition keep the burner ring and

the sparklers always clean.

Hot plate

What pot to use

Always use pots which properly fit to the

chosen burner (14-16 cm). Chose thick, flat

bottom pots (fig. 16).

Use advice

• Never leave the plates on without a pan

on them or put a material between the

plate and the pot;

• For saving power, it is advisable to cover

the pot every time the recipe allows it;

• Turn off the knob before cooking is

finished as the accumulated heat will

finish cooking (paste, rice, smoothing);

• For avoiding overflowing (milk, oil, sauce

…) fix the knob on a weaker position

some minutes before boiling, do not fill

the pots;

• When reducing the power or the plate is

turned off, the temperature lowers

slowly

4. Accessories delivered with the appliance

Beside the accessories delivered with the

appliance we advise you to use only heat

proof pots (according to the instructions of the

manufacturer).

Your cooker is equipped with:

• a grate, pan support for putting the dishes

on (roast, pastry moulds …)

The dish has to be put in the middle of the

grate to balance the weight.

• a roasting tray.

It is used to collect juice when cooking in it,

place it on the shelf 2.

If you do not use the dripping pan, remove it

from the oven.

• a protective screen

It is used for when using the grill and the turn-

spit.

A turn spit (poz.1 in fig.17) made up of:

- 2 forks

- 1 spit

- 1 handle

- 1 spit support

fig.17

ADVICE FOR USE

Oven cooking

• Turn off your oven 5 minutes before the

foreseen cooking time you will save

power, the accumulated heat will allow

to end cooking;

• The thickness, the conductibility and the

color of pot influences the culinary

results;

• When cooking, certain dishes increase

in volume, choose the pot so that above

the raw mixture remain enough place;

• For preventing fat dripping when

roasting use tall rim pans proportional to

the piece to be roasted;

• Prick the skin of poultry and the

sausage with a fork before cooking to

avoid its blowing up;

• Between the dish and the oven grid

could be put an aluminium foil but not

covering all the grid;

• Use glass heat resisting pans for crispy

and soufflés;

• Add some fat before finishing the

cooking.

Never line any part of the oven with

aluminium foil. It would result in an

accumulation of heat which might

damage the cooking results and also

damage the enamel.

The cover has to be opened when using the

oven.

Influence of the pots on oven cooking

results

You have to know that:

• The aluminium, the terracotta pots

diminish the browning bellow and

maintains the humidity of the meals. We

advice to use it for pastry, roast meat.

• The enameled cast iron, the tinned pots,

the glass and the heat-proof porcelain,

the pots with non-sticky interior and

colored exterior, increase the browning

bellow and dries the meals. We suggest

to use them for pies and all other crispy

cooking that has to be colored bellow

and above.

Cooking on the hob

Choose always the right pot, proportional to

the burner used.

In case you use a large bottom pot, put it

slight backwards on the plate, so that its

bottom should not outrun the front of the

enameled hob, thus avoiding flame

exceeding and overheating of front panel.

Before covering make sure the hob

is cooled, otherwise the cover could be

damaged.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning, check that the

knobs are on “off” position, that the

appliance has cooled completely and

that it is disconnected.

Never use abrasive powder or wire

sponge for cleaning the appliance.

Burners

Clean the covers with warm water and mild

detergent, remove all crust.

Never use vinegar.

The flame splitters have to be kept clean for

ensuring good ignition.

Before igniting make sure the flame splitter

and the caps are properly replaced.

The assembly has to be perfectly dry.

Control panel, knobs, enameled pan

support, cover, front and side panels

For cleaning them use a wet sponge with a

soft detergent, rinse and dry.

Hob

After every use wipe it with a sponge

soaked in warm detergent water, avoiding

leakage through the wholes of the hob.

Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

In case of overflowing, wet and leave it

dissolving but do not scratch and avoid use

of abrasive or caustic products that could

damage the enamel.

Wipe immediately the stains of vinegar,

lemon, generally the acid substances.

Self-cleaning oven

Principle:

The walls of your cooker, except the soil are

protected by special porous enamel. It is

frosted and hard. It absorbs and destroys

the fat splashes when warm.

Maintenance

Sometimes when cooking causes a lot of fat

projections (poultry, roasted meat …), the

time or the temperature are not always

enough for eliminating the fat. In this case,

after cooking remove all the accessories

from the oven (grid, dripping tray), fix the

thermostat on position “250” and leave it

function empty for 45 min, then select

position

for 5 minutes. If you start this

operation from cold oven count 60 minutes

for cleaning.

The soil which is not self cleaning enameled

can be pulled out, if necessary, for dripping.

Anyhow, it has to be cleaned separately,

before starting the self-cleaning, in order to

avoid burning of dirt.

Electric plate

Use a wet sponge and detergent, rinse and

dry. If necessary heat beforehand the plate

for burning the dirt.

The plates must be maintained dry.

From time to time you can wipe with an

absorbant paper lightly oiled.

The oven door is hotter the usually,

do not allow children near the appliance.

Oven

Enamelled parts: Same cleaning as other

enamelled parts.

Oven door cleaning

For a complete cleaning of the oven door it

is advisable to dismantle as follows:

-open the door completely (fig.18)

-turn the two blocking parts on the hinges

arms 60º.

-close partially the door, to a 30º angle

(fig.19).

-lift the door and pull it out.

The internal oven door glass can be

removed for cleaning. For this purpose draw

out the 2 fixing screws (fig.20).

Important: The inner glass has to be

always in place when using the oven.

Cleaning of the accessories.

Clean them with warm water and detergent,

rinse well and dry.
