Ceramic hob cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control
knob clockwise to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 9.
0 - OFF
9 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of cooking zones:
3 normal cooking zones (back left, back right
and front right - Fig. 18)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (9)
for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
1 double circuit cooking zone (front left - Fig.
19)
The front left cooking zone has two heating elements.
- To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn
the relevant control knob clockwise to the required
heat setting.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (9) then
turn the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol.

will switch on. Then turn back the knob to position 9
and adjust it to the required heat setting.
Please be aware that the two heating elements will now
operate together, giving a higher power output than a
normal cooking zone.
Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators
corresponding to each cooking zone. The corresponding
indicator will remain on until the temperature falls below
30°C, even after the cooking zone is switched off.
When a cooking zone is switched on, a short
buzzing may be heard. This is quite normal and
does not affect the hob operation in any way.
Operation
Control knob for double circuit cooking zone
Control knob for normal cooking zone
Push-Pull control knobs
Some models are provided with push-pull control knobs
(Fig. 17). These knobs can be completely sunken inside
the control panel when the oven is not working.
Mains on Light
The mains on light will come on when the cooking zone
control knobs are set.
Using the ceramic hob for the
first time
The cooking surface should be cleaned before use to
remove any traces of the production process.
Wipe the ceramic surface and frame with a damp
cloth using warm water to which a little washing
up liquid has been added, and wipe dry.

Using the ceramic glass hob
Ceramic glass surface
The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand
heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it
is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass
surface.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect
the cooker from the electrical supply to avoid
the possibility of electric shock and call you
nearest Service Force Centre.
Keep all objects and materials which can melt
away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics,
aluminium foil.
Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks
containing sugar. If anything of this nature
accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic
surface it must be scraped off immediately while
still hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the
surface.
Energy consumption
To save energy, you should:
- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat
bases.
- place pots and pans in position before switching on
the cooking zone.
- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the
end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the
residual heat.
- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping
food warm or for melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.
Saucepans and frying pans
Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than
the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15
mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.
Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat
bases.
The bases should always be clean and dry. Cook with a
lid in place.
Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and
undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking
surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by
lifting them, and not by sliding.
Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave
behind metallic discolourations which can only be
removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
14
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.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not a fault with the oven. To prevent discolouration,
regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage
from surfaces.
Using the oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
The heating elements do not work when
theoven door is not completely 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, and is supplied
with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
Attention! - Do not place objects 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.
Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when
placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any
fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens,
carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells
or smoke.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12
in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food
in the oven.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
Do not place baking trays, cake tins or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of the
oven and damage the oven enamel.
Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing
or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.

Hints and tips for using the oven
Hints and Tips on Cooking
Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip tray
in the first position from the bottom with some water in it.
The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be
cooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and 175
°C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the
outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher
temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium tempera-
ture (between 150 and 200 °C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.
.
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air,
at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the
speed of defrosting. However, please note that the tem-
perature of the kitchen will influence the speed of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting
Press button to select the defrosting function
.
Hints and Tips
Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.
!
16
Cooking Chart
Cooking times do not include pre-heating time.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is necessary before any cooking.
(*) If you need to cook more than one dish at the same time, we recommend you to place them on the levels quoted
between brackets.
If you wish to cook more than one dish at the same time, we suggest that you change the cooking levels of your dishes
during the last 5-10 minutes in order to obtain a more uniform colour of your dishes.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Never use steam or high pressure steam cleaners
to clean the appliance.
Cleaning the ceramic hob
Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven
sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or
sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents such as Hob Brite and ceramic
hob scrapers are available from your local Service Force
Centre.
Cleaning after each use
Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth,
and Hob Brite.
If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
when darks stains occur If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves
unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been damaged by
using unsuitable cleaning agents, or by pan bases with a
scouring effect. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob.
when metallic discolourations appear on Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning
the cooking zone agents have been used. The discolourations can only be
removed with considerable effort, using a ceramic glass
cleaner.
when the surface shows scratches These may be caused by scraping or melted on objects and
cannot be removed. This will not impair the efficiency of your
ceramic hob
Stain removal
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed
from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent
such as Hob Brite when cool.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content
must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type
of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause
irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the
surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Hob
Brite.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the
ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones.
Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking
zones are used again.
Special problems
19
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at 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.
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.
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 is used. Do not use paint scrapers to remove
soilage.
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 Force Centre who will be pleased to
advise further.
Cleaning the oven
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and
remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Pyrolytic cleaning
The oven cavity is coated with a special enamel resistant
to high temperatures.
During the pyrolytic cleaning operation, the temperature
inside the oven can reach about 500 °C thus burning food
residuals.
For your security, during the pyrolityc cleaning operation,
the oven door automatically locks when the temperature
inside the oven approaches about 300 °C.
Upon completion of the cleaning operation, the
oven door will be locked until the oven cavity has
cooled down.
The cooling fan operates during cooking until the oven
has cooled down. After cooking, it is advisable to remove
all the food residues with a wet sponge.
However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a
more complete and thorough cleaning, using the pyrolytic
cleaning function. You can select two different levels of
pyrolytic cleaning depending on how dirty the oven is.
If the oven cavity is not very dirty, we recommend that you
select the pyrolytic 1 function (P I) in the programmer
display.
It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft sponge
soaked in warm water after each pyrolytic cleaning cycle
is carried out.
If the oven cavity is very dirty, we advise you to select the
pyrolytic 2 function (P 2) in the programmer display.
During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is not possible to
use the oven for 2 hours when selecting the
pyrolytic 1
function (P I)
and up to 2 1/2 hours when the
pyrolytic 2
function (P 2)
is active.

How to use the pyrolytic
cleaning function
Before activating the pyrolytic cleaning function,
remove any excessive spillage and make sure
that the oven is empty. Do not leave anything
inside it (e.g. pans, grids, baking tray, dripping
pan, etc.) as this could heavily damage them.
When the pyrolytic cleaning function is on, it is
advisable not to use the hob. This could cause
overheating and damage to both appliances.
Ensure that the oven door is closed before
activating the pyrolytic cleaning function.
During the pyrolytic cleaning cycle the oven door
becomes hot. Children should be kept away until
it has cooled.
Before activating the pyrolytic cleaning function, remove
the shelf supports.
To remove the oven shelves and the shelf supports
proceed as follows:
1. keep the shelf support in position with the other hand
(diagram 1);
2. then, disengage the rear hook and take off the shelf
support (diagram 2).
Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure when
refitting the shelf support.
The following pyrolytic levels are available:
Pyrolytic 1 (P I) time : 2 h = 30 min heat-up +1 h at
480°C + 30 min cooling down.
Pyrolytic 2 (P 2) time : 2 h 30 min. = 30 min heat-up
+1 h 30 min at 480°C + 30 min cooling down.
The pyrolytic duration time cannot be changed.
To activate the pyrolytic cleaning function proceed as
follows:
1. Press button to switch on the oven. Press the
button as often as necessary, until the pyrolytic
function symbol (level 1 - P I) appears in the
display (Fig. 20).
Simultaneously the symbol indicating the shelf
supports and the “Pyro” writing will flash in
the display and an acoustic signal will be emitted
(Fig. 21).
This means that, before activating the pyrolytic
cleaning function, you have to remove the shelf
supports and all the oven accessories (see
instructions above mentioned).
