Do not allow children to sit on the oven door or play with it.
Do not use the door as a stool.
Never stand aluminium pots or foil on the base of the oven, as this may seriously damage
the oven enamel.
Do not cook food on the bottom of the oven.
When using the oven for the first time, or after a power cut, the display flashes regularly indicating
. To set the display, refer to section "SET THE TIME OF DAY” on page 20.
Do not attempt to disassemble the oven door without consulting the relative instructions carefully
(refer to section “12.1 Removing the oven door”): the hinges on the oven door may injure the
hands.
HEATING BLOCK OF THE OVEN
If during normal operation the oven interrupts heating and the programmer display begins to flash
and goes to zero, check whether:
•
there has been a current interruption.
If the block occurs again after the cooking programme has been restarted, this means that the
safety device has been tripped. This device intervenes in the event of a thermostat fault and
prevents oven overheating. In such case, we recommend that you not try to light the oven again
and that you contact your nearest service centre.
9.2
Drawer
A storage drawer is provided on the lower part of the cooker
beneath the oven. Use only to store metal cooker accessories.
Do not store inflammable material such as cloths, paper or similar in the drawer.

10. Cooking suggestions
10.1 Suggestions for using the hob burners correctly
The diameter of the base of cooking recipients
should fit the diameter of the burner used (see
adjacent table). The burner flame must never be
wider than the diameter of the recipient. Use
recipients with a flat base. Where possible use
pots with a lid, as this allows less power to be
used. To reduce cooking times for vegetables,
potatoes, etc., use little water.

10.2 Suggestions for using the fry-top correctly
Foods cooked on the fry-top have a special taste that does not require the excessive use of spices.
It is possible to cook in different ways. For example, different foods, such as meat and fish, can be
cooked at the same time. Before cooking meat, we recommend treating it with flavoured oil or
marinating it for a few hours.
A little tip: meat should always be salted after cooking on the griddle, so that its juices do not come
out prematurely.
10.3 Suggestions for using the vitroceramic hob correctly
In order to obtain good efficiency and adequate energy consumption, it is essential to use only
recipients that are suitable for electric cooking. The diameter of the base of the recipient must be
the same as the diameter of the outline of the cooking area. Energy is wasted if they do not
correspond.
The base of the recipient must be very thick and perfectly flat. It should also be clean and dry, as
should the glass on the hob.
Do not use cast iron pots or pots with a rough base, as they may scratch the surface.
When using the vitroceramic hob, it must be thoroughly cleaned before switching on the heating
elements.
The glass may be scratched if pans are placed on abrasive residues. Any scratches do not
however jeopardise the cooking procedure.
The ideal thickness for the base of the pans is:
•
2-3 mm in enamelled steel;
•
4-6 mm in stainless steel with double base.
Before cooking food with a high sugar content (e.g. jam), apply a protective product to the cooking
surface to prevent it from being damaged if the food spits or boils over.
10.4 Suggestions for using the oven correctly
The oven allows to optimise cooking. It is possible to cook traditionally, with convection and with
the grill.
The oven door should be completely closed for all types of cooking.
29
Instructions for the user
10.4.1 Traditional cooking
With this type of cooking, the heat comes from the top and the bottom. It is therefore preferable to
use the central guides. If the cooking requires a hotter temperature from the bottom or from the top,
use the lower or upper guides. Traditional cooking is recommended for all food that requires high
cooking temperatures, or long brazing times. This system is also recommended when cooking with
recipients made of terracotta, porcelain and similar materials.
10.4.2 Convection cooking
With this type of cooking, the food is heated by preheated air that is circulated in the oven thanks to
a fan located on the rear wall of the oven. Heat rapidly and evenly reaches all parts of the oven,
thus enabling different food to be cooked at the same time on different shelves. Humidity is
eliminated from the air and the drier area prevents odours and flavours from being spread and
mixed.
The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf allows you to cook many different dishes at the
same time. Biscuits and mini pizzas can be cooked in three different baking tins. The oven,
however, can also be used for cooking on a single shelf. The lower shelves can be used so that it
is easier to monitor cooking.
Convection cooking is particularly convenient for bringing frozen food rapidly back to room
temperature, for sterilising preserves or home-made fruit in syrup and, finally, for drying
mushrooms or fruit.
10.4.3 Cooking with the grill
The heat comes from the top. Almost all meat can be grilled, with the exception of lean game and
dishes such as meat-loaf. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly drizzled with oil and placed
on the grid bars, which should be placed in the guides closest to or farthest away from the grill
element, depending on the thickness of the meat, so as to avoid burning the surface and cooking
too little inside.
Suitable for: relatively thin meat; toasted sandwiches.
Pour 1 or 2 glasses of water into the dripping pan to avoid smoke forming due to drops of juice or fat.
While cooking with the grill, the dripping pan should always be positioned in the 1st guide from the
bottom.
10.4.4 Cooking with the ventilated grill
Using the combination of grill and fan .
This type of cooking allows the heat to penetrate gradually inside the food, even though the surface
is directly exposed to the grill.
Suitable for: thicker meat; game-birds.
10.4.5 Cooking meat and fish
Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kg. Very tender red meat to be cooked rare
(roast beef, fillet, etc.), or which should be well cooked on the outside and preserve all its juices on
the inside, require cooking on high temperatures for a short time (200-250°C). White meat, gamebirds and fish require cooking on low temperatures (150-175°C).
The ingredients for the sauce should only be placed in the baking tin if the cooking time is short,
otherwise, they should be added in the last half hour. Meat can be placed on an ovenproof plate or
directly on the grid bars, below which the dripping pan should be placed to collect the juice. Press
the meat with a spoon to check if it is done. If it is firm, it is cooked.
At the end of the cooking, wait at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat so as not to lose the
juices. Before serving, plates can be warmed in the oven at minimum temperature.
10.4.6 Baking
Beaten mixtures must stick to the spoon because excess fluidity would prolong the cooking time.
Sweets require moderate temperatures (generally between 150-200°C) and require preheating
(approximately 10 minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least ¾ of the way
through the cooking time.

11.6 Cleaning the igniter plugs and thermocouples
In order for the igniter plugs and thermocouples to operate correctly, they
must be kept clean at all times. Check them frequently and, if necessary,
clean them with a damp cloth. Any dry residue should be removed with a
toothpick or needle, taking care not to damage the insulating ceramic part.
11.7 Cleaning the fry-top
Any grease deposits on the fry-top can be eliminated more easily when the griddle is still warm. If
necessary, leave it to cool and soak for a few minutes. Finally, clean with warm salted water, dry
with a tea cloth or kitchen roll.
After each use, the vitroceramic surface V underneath the fry-top should also be cleaned. Any
residue of meat or grease can be removed by proceeding as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
remove the fry-top from its housing;
turn the knob to position 11;
after approximately 20-30 minutes, even the
toughest residue can easily be cleaned off the
vitroceramic surface with a wooden spatula;
switch off the heating and leave to cool, then
clean the vitroceramic surface V with specific
products;
dry thoroughly and return the fry-top to its
working position.
11.8 Cleaning the vitroceramic hob
The vitroceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible, when the latent
heat lights are off.
Any light-coloured marks caused by aluminium-based pans can be removed with a damp cloth
dipped in vinegar.
Any burnt residue left after cooking can be removed with a wooden spatula. Rinse with water and
dry well with a clean cloth.
Do not under any circumstances use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products,
oven sprays, stain-removers or metallic sponges).
Any grease deposits on the vitroceramic hob
can be removed more easily by heating it for
approximately 20-30 minutes (knob in
position 11). Afterwards, this residue can be
cleaned off with a wooden spatula. Allow the
surface to cool, rinse with water and dry well
with a clean cloth.
In the event that aluminium or plastic marks, sugar or food containing sugar melt on the cooking
surface, remove immediately while the surface is still warm with a wooden spatula. This will
prevent any damage to the surface.
The cooking surface of the vitroceramic hob is extremely resistant. It is not however unbreakable
and may be damaged, above all by pointed or hard objects if dropped onto it with a certain force.
Warning! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the cooker from the main supply
and do not use the appliance to avoid electrocution. Call Customer Services immediately.

12. Special maintenance
Periodically, it is necessary to maintain or replace some parts that are subject to wear and tear.
Specific instructions are given below for each type of maintenance.
Before carrying out maintenance, switch off the power supply to the appliance and close the
gas tap.
12.1 Removing the oven door
The oven door can be completely removed to enable more thorough cleaning. Though this
operation is possible, it should not be performed by everyone, as it requires the strength to hold up
the door and a minimum of expertise to re-fit it. If you are not sure of being able to do this, we
recommend that you clean the door without taking it off or, in special cases, that you contact the
nearest authorised service centre.
To remove the door, proceed as follows:
•
•
•
•
Open the oven door and release the safety catches of the hinges by turning the respective pins
A (one for each hinge) backward.
Partially close the door until there is no more load tension on the springs (the door will form an
angle of about 30°).
Using both hands, accompany the movement of the door towards closure and simultaneously
lift it upward.
Turn the lower part of the door towards the outside to free the hinges B from their seats.
If you need to remove any dry residues or dust deposited on the inner part of the windows, turn the
door upside down as shown in the figure, slide a soft bottle brush into the spaces between the
glass plates and brush gently.
To re-fit the door, carry out the instructions given above in the inverse direction. When the hinges B
are back in their seats, open the door all the way and re-fit the safety catches of the hinges,
lowering the respective pins A (one for each hinge).
CAUTION: After re-fitting the door, always be sure to re-fit the hinge safety
catches.
