bottom or more heat coming from the top,

turn the knob so as to place the pointer on

the symbol

(bottom heat) or (top

heat).

Under these circumstances the

temperature will never exceed about

220ºC in the bottom heat

and 180ºC in

the top heat position

and it will not be

regulated by the thermostat.

Electric grill

When grilling, the accessible parts

of the appliance are hot. Take care that

children do not play near it. While the

grill is in function leave the oven door

Grilling

It is a radiant cooking; it is only the top

element that is heating. This position of the

thermostat is recommended for warning up

the cooked meals.

It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

How to proceed ?

1. Insert the meal on the 3

level.

2. Turn the thermostat on position .

Grilling

brush it with oil on both sides.

• Place it on the grill.

• Fix the protective screen.

• Fix the knob oven grill on position

• Slide the dripping pan in the guide 1

• Slide the pan support grid in the guide 2

or 3 depending on the thickness of the

meat to be roasted.

• Use guide 3 for the thin pieces to be

roasted (toasts, pork bacon, sausage,

small fish…)

• Use guide 2 for thick pieces to be roasted

(beef bacon, large fish, poultry).

• When the first side is brown, turn the

meat without pricking it in order that the

juices are not lost.

• Roast the second side.

• Salt when ending the cooking.

Cooking time has to determined by the

thickness of the piece to be roasted not by its

weight.

Frying

• Fix the protective screen.

• Fix the knob oven / grill on position

• Place the dish on the grid and slide it in

the guide 2 or 3.

• Leave the dish under the radiation of the

grill for a few minutes.

thermostat intervenes to stabilize the

temperature.

2. The Hob Burners

To the symbol on the knob corresponds a

symbol on the control panel (fig. 8)

Off

Maximum level

Minimum level

Use the maximum level for boiling and the

minimum for smothering and maintaining

boiling.

Choose always positions between the

minimum and maximum, never between

maximum and off.

fig. 8

Do not close the cover till the plate

is hot, the cover could be damaged.

Ignition of the burners

Approach a flame to the burner after turning

the corresponding knob (lack of power).

1. Push the knob and turn it left to the

symbol “big flame”.

2. In the same time, push the electronic

ignition knob (fig. 9) for obtaining

sparkles. Keep it pushed till turning up of

the flame (1 spark / second).

3. Adjust the flame on desired position.

Extinguishing of burners

Turn the knob clockwise to mark «

». The

safety device is in place.

Do not put on the hob things or food

liable to melt.

fig. 9

Electric plate

Depending on the cooking the knob for

electric plate can be fixed on 6 different

positions(fig. 10), 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. 11).

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.

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

3. 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 dripping pan.

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.

fig.13

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.

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.

The internal oven door glass can be

removed for cleaning. For this purpose draw

out the 2 fixing screws (fig. 14).
