Useful tips to cook economically

on radiant and halogen rings

- Pans must be designed for cooking with elec-

tricity. They can be made of stainless steel wi-

th a triple base (steel, aluminium or copper

sandwich), of aluminium,

whether Teflon-coated or not, ceramic,

"vision" glass, thick enamelled steel or cast

iron (for these, select a pan with a base desi-

gned for ceramic hobs, e.g.:

VITROBASE).

- It is important that the base is thick and pro-

perly flat so that it is in contact with the whole

heating surface. A pan with a

concave or dented base will give poor

results, with hot points which may burn, and is

more likely to leave traces of metal on the hob.

- Best results and the guarantee of

quality over time are obtained by using

saucepans in which the diameter of the base

corresponds to the design

representing each heating zone on the

ceramic hob.

- A smaller pan can be used without

damaging the hob, but energy will be

wasted. If it is larger, it will take longer to heat

up.

AAuuttoommaattiicc rreegguullaattiioonn ooff tthhee rriinnggss::

The radiant ring regulates itself automatically.

It turns on and off in order to

maintain the selected power setting. In this

way, the temperature remains constant and

tailored to cooking your dishes.

The regulation frequency varies according to

the power setting selected.

USING THE RADIANT AND

HALOGEN RINGS

••

99628625_GB_A.qxd 16/06/2005 16:08 Page 7

- Energy efficiency: to finish cooking, switch to

position "0", and leave the saucepan or pan in

place to use the accumulated heat to best ef-

fect. (This helps you save energy). Use lidded

pans as often as possible to avoid heat losses

through evaporation.

- The ceramic surface heats up inside the

areas marked out by the screen printing on

top of the heating elements. There is

virtually no dispersion of heat outside these

areas.

- Avoid using the hob as a cutting board.

- Cooking food directly on the hob is not

recommended. Never place plastic items on

the hob when it is still hot.

- Never leave an empty enamelled or

aluminium saucepan or pan on a cooking sur-

face.

- Never use aluminium paper or place items

wrapped in aluminium directly on the

cooking surface. This may permanently

damage your appliance.

- The hob may get scratched by materials whi-

ch are harder than it, (such as grains of sand

for example), which are carried by

vegetables or on the bottoms of saucepans.

- The bases of oversized utensils may trap and

carry materials which cause staining on the

hop.

- Avoid spillages of sugar, liquid sugar or jam,

and should these occur remove them imme-

diately as they can be the cause of

tiny surface blemishes.

••

The indicator lights

- An indicator lights up on the cooker control

panel when a ring begins operating.

- If the surface temperature exceeds a

certain limit, the excess heat indicator lights

up on the ceramic hob even after the radiant

ring has cut off. Take great care as this means

the cooking zone is still hot.

Warning

- Never stare directly at a halogen

ring when it is operating.

- Items should not be placed on the gas

hob of your cooker, particulary plastic

ustensils or sheets of aluminium placed on

a surface when it is still warm.

- If a crack appears on the surface,

immediately disconnect the cooker from

the power source to avoid any risk of

electric shocks.

Contact your installer immediately. Do not

use the hob until it has been repaired.

There are two types of controls for the hobs

(depending on the model):

- Rapid cast-iron hob including

temperature limiting device, with control

switches numbered from 0 to 6.

- Rapid cast-iron hob controlled by an energy

regulator with switches numbered from 0 to 9.

••

Tips for using your cast-iron hob

(depending on model)

- Before using the hobs for the very first time,

allow the hobs to heat up with

nothing on them at maximum temperature for

3 minutes to harden the coating.

- A "Power on" light comes on when a hob is

operating.

- You should use flat bottomed recipients

which sit perfectly on the surface of the ring:

- Made from stainless steel with a thick

or sandwich base.

- Made from aluminium with a thick base

- Made from enamelled steel (thick

sheet metal).

- You should select a saucepan or pan of a si-

ze suited to your actual needs. The base dia-

meter of the pan should be equal or

superior to that of the ring used. Use a lid as

often as possible to reduce losses through

evaporation.

- When your preparation reaches boiling point,

there is no point in allowing it to boil with huge

bubbles. The food will not cook more quickly.

It will cook better on a

lower light which will maintain gentle boiling.

- You can turn the hotplate off by setting it to

0 before the cooking is finished; you will use

the heat accumulated in the

hotplate and therefore save on electricity.

- Use recipients with a dry base in order avoid

the hobs rusting.

Warning

- Ensure that your oven door is securely closed, to ensure that the door seal can play its

role effectively.

- Cooking in the oven and on the grill should be carried out with the cooker cover opened in or-

der to facilitate the removal of hot gases at the back of the work top.

- Do not cover the inside of your oven with aluminium sheet. Otherwise, this will result in a build-

up of heat which will have a harmful effect upon the cooking or roasting and will damage the en-

amel.

- During operation, do not leave the oven door open for more than three minutes in order to avoid

excessive temperature at the knobs.

- During use, the appliance gets hot. Take care that neither you nor anyone else touches the hea-

ting elements.

3 / USING YOUR COOKER

USING THE OVEN

••

Tips for using oven

- Using the oven for the first time : Before

using your oven for the first time, heat it up

empty with the door closed for approximately

15 minutes on the maximum setting. The

protection which surrounds the oven cavity

may at first produce a particular smell, which

is due to its composition. You may also notice

that some smoke it produced the first time the

oven is heated.

- Before beginning cooking, consult the user

instructions to find the most appropriate heat

setting and the oven level to be used for the

cooking accessories.

- The cooking guide for your appliances pro-

vides the necessary information to create a

certain number of popular dishes.

- The adjustment settings for the oven thermo-

stat in the cooking guide are provided for in-

formation purposes only. Consequently, in or-

der to avoid excess smoke being produced by

a cooking temperature which is too high, it is

preferable to reduce the oven power setting.

- By turning off the oven 5 to 10 minutes befo-

re the end of your cooking session, you can

benefit from the accumulated heat and save

energy.

- Child safety (depending on model)

An additional protection device making it pos-

sible to avoid contact with the oven door is

available from your distributor under the follo-

wing reference: WHITE GRID. This device

should be fitted if young children are present.

- Clean the walls with a cloth soaked in very

hot soapy water, to remove fat splashes. We

advise frequent cleaning.

When a large spillage has occurred, wipe it

up if possible with a damp sponge or a soft

brush. Otherwise, take a sponge or a cloth

soaked in hot soapy water or cream cleaner

(for enamel or stainless steel) and cover the

remaining stains. Leave it there overnight; the

deposits will be easily removed the next day.

- This oven, which has a continuous cleaning

system, consists of 3 panels coated with a

special microporous enamel which makes

them self-cleaning. As soon as stains appear

they are dispersed and diffused across the

microporous surface. They are oxidised from

both sides and gradually disappear. The self-

cleaning enamel is particularly effective on

grease, but not on sugar: for this reason, the

floor, which is more likely to have sugar

spilled on it, is not coated.

Tips

- That these panels are not scratched

with a metal brush, or sharp or pointed

instruments.

- That you do not try to clean them with

scouring products.

- When cooking under the grill, a large

amount of fat is splashed on to the walls,

where the temperature is not high enough

for it to be eliminated completely during

cooking. When this occurs, after cooking

keep the oven on for 20 to 30 minutes, at

maximum heat. If traces remain, they will be

reduced during subsequent cooking and in

this way you will prevent the production of

excessive smoke.

Sponge cakes, vegetables,

pastries, quiches, soufflés, etc.

Meat, fish, (in a dish), stuffed

vegetables.

Large pieces of spit roasted

meat..

Cooks without spitting: Pyrolysis

cleaning is unnecessary.

Pyrolysis cleaning every three

cooking sessions.

Pyrolysis cleaning can be carried

out after cooking something of

this type, if major spattering has

occurred.

Danger

- During the pyrolysis cleaning process, the surfaces get hotter than during normal use and

children should be kept well away.

- Regardless of the oven type, never place flammable products (rags, towels, paper, household

cleaning products, instructions, etc.) in the pan and accessory compartment of your oven. You

run the risk of a fire for which we cannot be held liable.

- Do not cover the interior of the oven with aluminium paper to reduce cleaning. This will lead to

overheating and will damage the enamel.

- This type of oven is cleaned via the high-temperature destruction of stains and soiling caused by

splashing or spills during cooking.

- The smoke given off is cleaned as it passes through a catalyst. Do not wait until the oven is too

full of grease before carrying out cleaning.

WWhheenn sshhoouulldd yyoouu ccaarrrryy oouutt ppyyrroollyyssiiss cclleeaanniinngg??

- When your oven starts giving off smoke during preheating or gives off a great deal of smoke

during cooking.

- When your oven gives off an odour when cold, following the cooking of various dishes (lamb,

fish, grilled meat, etc.).

It is not necessary to carry out pyrolysis cleaning after each cooking session, but only if the

degree of soiling and spattering justifies this.

Before starting the pyrolysis cleaning process, remove all accessories from inside the oven, inclu-

ding all pots and pans, etc. Remove any major grease deposits

which may have built up in order to avoid the risk of fire or excessive smoking.

The cleaning can be carried out at any time and even at night (if you want to take advantage of "off-

peak" electricity prices) using the auto timer equipped with the delayed start function (according to

model).

When opening the door after the pyrolysis cleaning session, you will notice a little whitish residue

on the walls of the oven. When the oven is completely clean, simply wipe this

with a damp sponge to remove it.

In order to avoid excessive spitting or splashing during cooking always check:

- That the correct cooking positions recommended in the instructions are

observed at all times.

- The correct oven level height setting is used.

- The correct temperature is used.

If, despite all this, a large piece of meat still leads to spitting and smoking, you should

reduce the power of the oven.
