and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.
These instruction are only valid in the countries
whose symbols appear on this booklet’s cover.
Always stand back from the oven when opening the
oven door, to allow any build-up of steam or heat to
release.
When using other electrical appliances, ensure the
cable does not come into contact with the hot
surfaces of the appliance.
Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on
the hob burners as unstable pans can cause an
accident by tipping or spillage.
To facilitate ignition, light the burners before
placing pans on the grid. After having lit the burners
check that the flame is regular.
Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing
the pan.
Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking
with oil and fats.
This appliance should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Never use plastic dishes in the oven or on the hob
burners. Never line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil.
Always ensure that the oven vent which is located at
the centre back of the hob is left unobstructed to
ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.
Perishable food, plastic items and areosols may be
affected by heat and should not be stored above the
appliance.
During cooking the storage drawer may become hot
if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be stored in
the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also
become hot, therefore care should be taken when
removing these items from the drawer whilst the oven
is in use or still hot.
Only heat-resistant plates may be placed in the
drawer situated under the oven. Do not p ut
combustible materials there.
Never use steam or high pressure steam cleaners to

Control knobs on the gas hob
The knobs for using the gas hob of the cooker are
found on the control panel. The regulation knobs could
be turned in anti-clockwise direction until the small
flame symbol, and vice-versa for the larger symbol.
z No gas supply
Maximum gas supply
Minimum gas supply
To light a burner:
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.
1. Push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise
to "maximum position".
2. Hold a flame near the burner.
3. Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down for
about 5 seconds. This will allow the safety device
("thermocouple" - see figure, letter C) to be
heated and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
4. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob
to zero, and try again.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,
check that the burner cap and crown (see figure, letter
A, B) are correctly positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position "
z".
Do not keep the control knob pressed for
more than 15 seconds. If the burner does
not light even after 15 seconds, release
the control knob, turn it the “off” position
and wait for at least 1 minute before trying
to light the burner again.
When lighting the hob manually (in case of
lack of electricity): Hold a flame near the burner.
Never turn the control knob before approaching the
burner with the flame.

When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you
should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom
fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller
than the recommended size, the flame will
spread beyond the bottom of the pan,
causing the handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if
excessively heated. Therefore prolonged
cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or
cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not
use aluminium foil to protect the top during
use.
Do not place unstable or deformed pots
on the rings: they could tip over or spill
their contents, causing accidents.
Pots must not enter the control zone.
When cooking with the hob, leave the lid
open in order to avoid overheating.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Force Cen-
tre.
The hob lid
The lid is meant to avoid dust to settle on the hob,
when it is closed, and to collect splashes of oil or fat,
when it is open. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Always wipe off any splash of liquid before opening
the lid.
Always clean the lid from cooking residues before
opening it or taking it off.
WARNING! The crystal lid
can splinter when
overheated. Always
ensure all the burners are
off before closing it.

Electric hotplate control
To switch on the hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
We recommend the plate is switched to maximum (6)
for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted
to the required setting.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
used for the first time. This is quite normal and
will disappear after a short while.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are
given in the following table.
Very Gentle 1 To keep food warm
To melt butter and chocolate
Gentle 2 To prepare cream-sauces, stews
and milk puddings or to fry eggs
Slow 3 Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit,
boiling water or milk
Medium 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables,
pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or
fish
High 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish,
omelettes, steaks
Fast 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying.
Hints and tips
Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs
should have several characteristics:
- they should be heavy duty.
- they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
- they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for
high temperature frying or pressure cooking.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being
split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or
with an empty pan on them.
When cooking with fats or oils maximum
care must be taken as these can self-ignite
when overheated.
Pots and pans
Remember that a large recipient offers a larger
surface to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a
narrow recipient.
Always use recipients of a size suitable for the food
to be cooked. In particular, take care that recipients are
not too small for liquid preparations which could easily
spill over or that they are not too big for food which must
be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are
easily burnt by fats and juice.
For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not
open. A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar
which, when spilling onto the bottom of the oven,
caramelize and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans
with plastic handles in the oven as they may not support
the heat.

Electric oven
Oven function control knob
The oven function control knob allows you to
select the most suitable cooking temperature and
separate action of the heating elements.
Explanation of symbols:
0 Oven switched off
Oven lamp
min-max Range of temperature
regulation
Lower heating element
Upper heating element
Grill element
To select the temperature turn the switch in a
clockwise direction and place sign in front of the
symbol corresponding to the temperature required,
included between min. (50°C) and max. (230°C).
The temperature will be maintained constant by
the thermostat.
If a different type of heating is required, for example
more heat on the bottom or the top, you should turn the
switch to the symbols
(heat from below) or
(heat from above). In these conditions the temperature
will never exceed 220°C for
and 180°C for
and will not be regulated by the thermostat.
When grilling, it is sufficient to turn the switch so
that the sign is in front of the symbol
.
When cooking in the oven or grill, in order
to avoid over-heating, always leave the
appliance cover open.
Electric hotplate control light
The control light will come on when the electric
hotplate control knob is set.
10
Before the first use of the appliance
Before using the appliance, remove all
packaging, both inside and outside the
appliance, including the advertising
labels and any protective film.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully
wash the oven accessories.
To open the oven door, always hold the
handle in the centre.
Storage drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a long
period of time, therefore flammable materials
such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons
etc. should not be stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be
taken when removing these items from the
drawer whilst the oven is in use or still hot.
The safety thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In
case of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and
consequential over-heating, the safety device will stop
the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call
your local Service Force Centre. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the
appliance yourself.
First use of the oven
During the first minutes of use, the thermal
insulation of the oven, and residual grease from
manufacture, produce smoke and disagreeable
smells. On first use, we advise heating the oven,
empty, for approximately 45 minutes. Then leave to
cool and clean the inside of the oven with hot water
and a mild detergent.
First use of the hob
When using the hob for the first time, it is important
to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce
a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time.
This is quite normal and will disappear after a few
minutes.
11
Hints and tips for using the hob
Start your cooking with a big flame by turning the
knob to the symbol
. Then adjust the flame as
necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than its
inside (nucleus). Accordingly , the top of the flame
should lick the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames
mean a waste of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not
require flat-bottomed pans: the flames lick the bottom
and spread the heat all over the surface.
No special pans are required for gas burners.
However, thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the
food more quickly than thick-walled ones.
Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's
bottom, the food may only be partially heated.
Consequently it is advisable to stir the food many
times.
A thick pan bottom prevents partial overheating
as it allows sufficient thermic compensation.
Avoid very small pans. Wide and shallow pans
are more suitable than narrow and deep ones as they
allow a faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by
placing narrow pans on wide burners. The result is
just a waste of gas. For a proper usage, place small
pans on small burners and large pans on large
burners.
Remember to cover pans to reduce gas
consumption.
Pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a
faster cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have
to cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too
small for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a
faster cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread
on the bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for
baking cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices
and sugar leak through, falling on the bottom of the
oven and consequently burning on the bottom of the
baking tray, making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as
they are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to
fit the burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus
reducing gas consumption.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole
and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the
flame enough to keep the boiling point.
12
Hints and tips for using the oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down
oven door. Do not allow it to fall open -
support the door using the door handle, until
it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that the oven accessories are
correctly positioned.
Do not place cookware directly on the
oven base.
When cooking with the oven or grilling,
the cover must be kept open to avoid
over-heating.
Attention! - Do not place objects and
cookware directly on the oven base and do
not cover any part of the oven with
aluminium foil while cooking, as this could
cause a heat build-up which would affect the
baking results and damage the oven
enamel. Always place pans, heat-resisting
pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which
has been inserted in the shelf runners.
Condensation and Steam
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
which produces a natural circulation of air and the
constant recycling of steam. This system makes it
possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep
the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover,
the cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be
produced which can be released when opening the
oven door. This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the
oven when opening the oven door during
cooking or at the end of it to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
When food is heated, it produces steam in
the same way as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary before any
cooking. We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the
appliance.

Traditional cooking
As heat originates from top and bottom, dishes
should preferably be placed in the middle. If cooking
requires more heat from the bottom or the top, use the
upper or lower level.
Using the oven
For the cooking of cakes
Pre-heat the oven, unless indicated differently, for at
least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven
door when cooking dishes which must raise (e.g.
raised pastries and soufflés); the jet of cold air would
block the raising process. To check if cakes are
cooked, insert a toothpick into the mixture; if it comes
out clean the cake is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of
the cooking time has passed before doing this check.
As a general rule remember that:
a dish which is well-cooked on the outside but not
sufficiently cooked inside would have required a lower
temperature and longer cooking time. On the contrary,
a “dry” texture would have required a shorter time and
higher cooking temperature.
For the cooking of meat
Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1
kilo to avoid its becoming too dry. If you want roasts
with a good colour, use very little oil. If the piece is
lean, use oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are
on the other hand unnecessary if the piece has a strip
of fat. If the piece has a strip of fat on one side only,
put it in the oven with this side upwards; when melting
the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently. Red meat
should be removed from the fridge one hour before
cooking otherwise the sudden change of temperature
could cause it to become tough. A roast, especially if
of red meat, must not be salted at the beginning of
cooking as salt causes juices and blood to seep out of
the meat, thus preventing the formation of a well-
browned crust. It is advisable to salt the outside of the
meat after just over half the cooking time.
Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim;
a deep dish shields heat. Meat can be placed on an
ovenproof dish or directly on the grill, under which the
dripping pan will be inserted to collect juice.
Ingredients for gravy should only be put in the dish
immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they
should be added during the last half hour.
Begin cooking rare meat at a high temperature,
reducing the temperature to finish cooking the inside.
The cooking temperature for white meat can be mo-
derate throughout. The degree of cooking can be
checked by pressing the meat with a fork; if it does
not give the meat is cooked.
At the end of cooking it is advisable to wait at least 15
minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices
are not lost. Before serving plates can be kept warm in
the oven at minimum temperature.
Grilling
The following types of meat are suitable for grilling.
Mostly meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of various
sizes, but not usually very thick, poultry cut in half and
flattened, fish, some vegetables (e.g. courgettes,
aubergines, tomatoes, etc.), skewers of meat or fish
and seafood. Meat and fish to be grilled should be
lightly brushed with oil and always placed on the grill;
meat should be salted upon completion of cooking;
whereas fish should be salted on the inside before
cooking. The grill should be positioned in the guides
nearest or furthest from the grill element according to
the thickness of the meat, in order to avoid burning the
surface and cooking the inside insufficiently.
The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and
fat can be avoided by pouring 1 or 2 glasses of water
into the dripping pan. The grill can also be used to
brown, toast bread and grill certain types of fruit, such
as bananas, halved grapefruit, slices of pineapple,
apples, etc. Fruit should not be placed too near the
source of heat.
Cooking times
Cooking times can vary according to the type of food,
its consistency and its volume. It is advisable to watch
when cooking for the first time and check results since
when preparing the same dishes, in the same
conditions, similar results are obtained. The
“COOKING TABLE” relating to cooking in the oven and
by grill is provided as a guide. Experience will show
possible variations to the values set out in the table.
Nevertheless carefully follow the indications given
in the receipe you intend to follow.
Attention: do not place any utensils such as dripping
pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex dishes, aluminium foil
or other on the base of the oven when the oven is in
use. A stagnation of heat would result which would
compromise the results of cooking and could damage
the oven enamel.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can
be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with
steam or with a steam cleaning machine.
The oven should be kept clean at all times.
A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could
result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
The hob top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing
up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the
following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
To ensure the long-life of the hob, we advise you
to clean it regularly. Naturally, before cleaning the
cooking zones allow them to cool.
Do not acquire the bad habit of wiping over the
plates with a damp cloth whilst they are still hot.
Although they will stand up to such teatment,
fragments of the cloth could remain. The plate and
its base can, however, be cleaned occasionally using
fine sandpaper.
We advise you to grease the surface of the plate
from time to time with a non-acid fat (cooking oil,
sewing machine oil or vaseline). Products for care and
maintenance are available commercially.
Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the control panel with a damp cloth, do not
use abrasive products. The enamelled part of the hob
can be cleaned with warm water and detergent.
Although the enamel will tollerate acids, we advise
you to quickly remove splashes of vinegar, lemon and
all acid substances. Also immediately remove all
residue of fat or other to avoid any incrustation. If
incrustations have formed leave the crust immersed
in hot water. Never use metal brushes, knives or
similar objects which could scratch the enamel. Avoid
using acid detergents.
Pan supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing
them by hand, take care when drying them as the enam-
elling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If
necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
The burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot
soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste
cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are
particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
17
Cleaning the oven
The oven should be kept clean at all times.
A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could
result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that their use
is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be
used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh
abrasives should also be avoided.
Never use steam or steam machines to clean
the appliance.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door
and door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in
warm water to which a little washing up liquid has
been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door
glass panels avoid the use of the following:
Household detergent and bleaches
Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm
soapy water. Should the inner door glass become
heavily soiled it is recommended that a cleaning
product such as Hob Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is
used.
18
The oven door and its gasket
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you
to remove it from the oven.
Before proceeding ensure the oven is
cool and disconnected from the
electricity supply.
Proceed as follows:
1. open the oven door completely;
2. find the hinges linking the door to the oven
(see picture 1);
3. unlock and turn the small levers located on
the two hinges (see picture 2);
4. handle the door by its left- and right-hand
sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven
until it is half-closed (see picture 3);
5. gently pull the oven door off its site (see
picture 3);
6. place it on a steady plan.
Clean the oven door glass with warm soapy
water and a softh cloth only. Never use harsh
abrasives.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven
door, following the procedure in reverse.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact
your local Service Centre who will be pleased
to advise further.
Models in stainless steel or aluminium:
We recommend to clean the oven door using only a
wet sponge and dry it up after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products
as they can damage the oven surface. Clean the oven
control panel following the same precautions.
The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a
gasket placed round the edge of the oven cavity.
Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If
necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning
products.

If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local
Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has
been repaired.
Lid cleaning (model ZCM 661 NX)
The crystal lid can be dissasembled to allow a
better cleaning (see picture).
Clean the crystal lid only with warm water and
avoid the use of rough cloths or abrasive substances.
After a proper cleaning, carefully reposition the lid into
its hinges.
Balancing the lid (model ZCM 661 NX)
Appliances provided with crystal lids are
equipped with specially balanced springs, inserted in
the hinges at the back of the appliance, to allow the
lid to be closed smoothly and easily.
You can use a screwdriver to adjust the closure
of the lid. The necessary force for opening/closing the
lid can be increased by turning the adjusting screw 2
or 3 times as shown in the picture.
Controls - Sundries
Periodically check the condition of the flexible
pipe of gas connection and make it replaced by
skilled technicians as soon as it shows abnormalities.
Annual replacement is recommended.

Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply.
If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply
with the following specifications: electric power, 15 W/
25 W; electric rate, 230 V (50 Hz); resistant to
temperatures of 300°C; connection type: E14. These
bulbs are available from your local Service Force
Centre.
To replace the faulty bulb:
1. Ensure the oven is disconnected from the
electrical supply.
2. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.
3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace it with the
new one.
4. Refit the glass cover.
