Practical hints
The ceramic glass hob is resistent to sudden changes
in temperature, it is insensitive to heat and cold and hals
also a good resistence to mechanical blows; a sharpened
object, however, no matter if it is small (for example a
point of a knife) can irreparably damage the cooking
surface, jeopardising its functionality.
Before using the cooking plate for the first time, carefully
wash the pyroceram plate with a non-abrasive detergent,
dry it and then wsitch it on for about 10 minutes at the
highest position.
When using the cooking plate for the first time, unpleasant
smells, or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is
absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of
greasy working residues and of hte dope used during the
installation. These smells will vanish after some time of
working.
Attention: if the surface shows a crack,
immediately switch the equipment off and
call the Aftersales Service.
Suitable pans and pots
Remember that a large pan offers a larger surface to
heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow pan.
Always use pans of a size suitable for the food to be
cooked. In particular, take care that pans 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.
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.
Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil or
fat.
During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when over-heated,
self-ignite.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob to maximum heat setting (3) then turn the knob
further to nearly reach the “0” symbol. You will hear a
“click” and the wider cooking zone will switch on. Then
turn back the knob and adjust it to the required heat
setting. Now the two heating elements will operate
together, giving a higher power output that a normal
cooking zone.
Hob pilot light
The ceramic glass hob is equipped with a pilot light which
turns on when the surface is too hot; it is a helpful device
which protects users from burns.
This light turns on some minutes after the plate has been
set into operation, abd it stays on during the whole time
of functioning and also when the plate is off to show the
presence of residual heat in the pyroceram surface.
The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface
temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm tem-
perature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean the
plate with no risk.

Before the First Use of the Appliance
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.
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.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
The oven will work only if the time of day has
been set.
1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer
(see chapter "Electronic Programmer").
2. Switch the oven function control knob to

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.
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, and is supplied
with one shelf. 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 grill, the
cover must be kept open to avoid over-
heating.
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.

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.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 230°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.
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.

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 230°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.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be
cooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest that
you take particular note of your first cooking experiments
with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for
the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results.
Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate
changes to values given on charts.
.
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
temperature 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
Turn the oven function control knob to ans set the
thermostat control knob to OFFposition .
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.

Cooking Chart- Conventional and Fan cooking
Cooking times do not include pre-heating time. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
necessary before any cooking.
Conventional
cooking
These charts are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your
individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.
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.
(*) 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. Shelf positions are counted from bottom of the oven.

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 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.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them
by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
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.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"electrode" and a metal electrode. Keep these
components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
The Hotplate
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm
water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep
the plate looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be
purchased from most hardware stores (follow the
manufacturer's instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plate with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that
the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when next used.
Drying
Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplate thoroughly by
switching on to a low-medium setting for a few minutes.
Maintenance and Cleaning
16
Oven lamp replacement
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.
5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
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.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
17
6. gently extract the two inner glasses, starting with
the uppermost one first.
Cleaning The Oven Door
The oven door is made up of three glasses.
It is possible to remove them for easier cleaning.
Warning - The oven door may bang shut if you try
to extract the inner glasses when the oven door
is still fitted to the oven.
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to
remove it from the oven.
Proceed as follows:
1. open the oven door completely and locate the two
hinges which link the door to the oven;
2. unlock and turn the small levers located on the two
hinges;
3. handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides,
then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-
closed; at this point, gently pull the oven door away
from the oven frame;
5. extract the inner glass support;
4. place the oven door on a solid surface, being careful
to avoid the glass becoming scratched. Then
remove the two screws located on the sides of the
oven door;
18
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed
the glass panels may shatter.
If the door glass panels become chipped or have
deep scratches, the glasses 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.
Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a soft
cloth only. Never use harsh abrasives as they could
damage the special heat-resistant surface of the inner
glasses.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse (Fig. 9 and Fig. 10).
The two glasses in the middle are special glasses
that have been treated to resist heat. They are
marked with a small dot located on a corner and a
black frame respectively (Fig. 8).
It is important that, when refitting the oven door,
the inner glasses are fixed in the right position.
To check if this operation has been carried out
correctly, when inserting the glass, make sure that
the surface of the glass marked with a black frame
looks upwards and that the dot is located on the
upper right corner of the glass (see Fig. 8).

1) remove the front screw while keeping the shelf support
in position with the other hand (see diagram 1);
2) disengage the rear hook and take off the shelf support
(see diagram 2);
3) once the cleaning is carried out, refit the shelf supports
