INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING CERAMIC GLASS HOBS
• Ceramic glass is a natural product and, like any other
material in ceramic, can have an uneven surface. You
might evensee somebubbles inside theceramic glass
itself: these will not inuence cooking or the lifetime of
thehob.
• Illumination of the single cooking zones might differ.
This depends on the technical characteristics of the
heating elements. This has absolutely no effect on
quality oroperation.
• According to how you look at it, the incandescent
heating might appear to go over the edge of the cooking
zone.
• Donot put veryhot pans onthe outeredge of thehob.
• Do not use pans with aluminum bottom.
• Do not use the hob as a work top and take care not
to let hard or sharp objects fall on it. The top could be
damaged.
• Do not put empty enamelled pans on the heat. Both
the bottom of the pan and the ceramic glass could be
damaged.
• Do not drag pans or other objects over the glass top
whichcould get scratched.
• Clean anddry thebottom ofthe panbefore puttingit on
the hob.Salt, sugaror grains ofsand, forexample, that
couldbe in greens,can scratch.
• Cleanoffimmediately any spilledliquid.
• Do not cook or reheat food wrapped in tin foil or plastic
containers. Both the tin foil and the plastic containers
would melt, sticking to the hob.

HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
To get the maximum yield with the minimum
consumption of electricity it is recommended to keep
the following points in mind:
• Switch the hob heating element on only after you
have put the pan on the cooking zone or plate
• Thoroughly dry the bottom of the pan before putting
it on the cooking zone or plate.
• Donotusepanswithadiameterthatislessthanthat
of the cooking zone or plate. When you are buying
saucepans keep in mind that the manufacturer
usually gives the largest diameter of the pan which
is normally bigger than the base diameter.
• Use pans with at, thick bottoms. Bottoms that are
not at will make cooking times longer.
• Always put a lid on the pan.
• If cooking time is longer than 40 minutes you can
switch the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end
of cooking time and make use of the residual heat.
• For your information only, the table gives hints on
how to use the cooking zones and plates.

OVEN: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Alwaysgripthecentreofthe ovendoorwhenopening.
Donot practiceexcessivepressuresonthe doorwhen
it is open.
• Do not worry if condensation forms on the door and
on the internal walls of the oven during cooking. This
does not compromise its efciency.
• When opening the oven door, be very careful of
scalding vapours.
• During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should
be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside
the oven. Wear oven gloves when placing or removing
pans from the oven or use the handle (D) (g. 2)
provided. Hook the handle to the edge of the tray and
pull it out, slightly lifting it as you do so.
• When inserting or removing food from the oven,
check that excess juices do not overow onto the
oven base (oils and fats are highly inammable when
overheated).
• Use containers that will resist the temperatures
indicated on the thermostat knob.
• Never coverthe base ofthe oven orthe ovenshelf with
aluminium foil or other materials, as this creates a re
hazard.
• When grilling always put a little water in the grill pan.
The water prevents the grease from burning and from
giving off bad smells and smoke. Add more water
during grilling to compensate for evaporation.
• After using the appliance ensure that all the controls
are in the off position.
IMPORTANT!! Always keep the oven door closed
during baking or grilling.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

WHAT TO DO THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THE OVEN
• Remove all protective wrapping materials from the
appliance and labels from the oven door.
• Remove combustible materials from the warming
compartment before commissioning the cooker.
• Before cooking for the rst time, heat the oven at
maximum temperature for 2 hours. This will allow the
protectivecoatingontheinterioroftheoventobeburnt
off and expel the associated smells. Ensure adequate
ventilation in the kitchen whilst burning off and don't be
alarmed by a little bit of smoke during this process. At
the end of this time period, allow the appliance to cool
down and then clean the interior using hot water and
a delicate detergent. Also wash all the accessories
(grills, trays, spit roast, etc.) before use.
Prior to any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity mains.
HOW TO USE GAS OVEN AND ELECTRIC GRILL
The appliance is equipped with an aluminium
shield (B), which works in order to obtain a
burnishing uniform above all during the baking
of cakes and biscuits. During oven operation, the
shield must be correctly positioned on the oven
bottom plate (g. 8)

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION OF THE OVEN
BURNER
Open the oven door, push lightly the oven knob
and turn anti clockwise to the maximum temperature
position, then then depress the control knob.
Automatically the ignition spark shoots.
Check through the opening that it has ignited. Continue
to push gas control knob for 15 seconds after ignition
has occurred. If ignition does not occur, turn gas
control knob off, open the warming compartment door
and wait 60 seconds to allow gas to disperse, then
repeat ignition procedure. Note: At the end of this
operation, correctly put again the shield (S) (g. 8).
Take care to not scratch the enamel of the bottom
plate, moving this shield.
MANUAL IGNITION OF THE OVEN BURNER
In the event of power failure or component malfunction,
manual ignition of the oven can be obtained by repeating
the above steps, but instead of pushing ignition button,
placing alit matchat theaccess hole (B)in thebase plate
(g. 9).
USING THE OVEN
Having ignited the oven, the gas control knob should be
adjusted to the desired temperature and gently close the
door to avoid extinguishing the ame. Preheat the oven
forapproximately 15minutes
Your appliance’s heat circulation pattern is quite different
to many other cookers. It employs an ingenious, natural,
“Rapid Draught” convection system. Hot air is efciently
circulated through the oven very quickly producing relatively
evenheatzoning.
With planning and a clear understanding of your
appliance’s characteristics and capabilities you will
be able to produce superb results and larger than
normal quantities. Howeverin order to obtain maximum
efciency it is useful to remember:
• Cooking times and shelf positions will probably be
different from your previous oven. The size and type
of dishes used will affect cooking times and the use
of aluminium foil will increase cooking times. We
recommend doing a test bake, and comparing the times
in the time and temperature chart to some of your
favourite recipes. Add 10 to 15 degrees C when
cooking larger quantities. Shelves are numbered
from the bottom (g. 1).
• Be sure to remove the enamelled grill tray when the
oven is in use. It is not intended to be used for baking
or roasting purposes and it can interfere with heat
distribution in the oven.
• The larger capacity ovens of the cookers 90 x 60, will
require slightly higher cooking temperatures than a
smaller oven.Add between 5-10 degree C.
• Slightlymoreheatisgeneratedfromthebottomofthe
ovenupwards,withthetopshelf being themarginally
cooler zone. This is the reverse of other ovens you
may have used and some minor adjustment to your
cooking methods with some dishes may be required.
Most baking would be done on the middle shelves,
with the lower shelves being used for a greater
degree of base browning.
• Always preheat the oven when cooking frozen or
chilled foods.
• Best results are achieved when preparing large
quantities or using two shelves simultaneously by
positioning serves with an "air space" around. More
even cooking can be made possible if two medium
sized baking trays are used per shelf, leaving a 3-4
cm "air space" between the trays and from the trays
to the oven wall. A single larger tray may divert or
block the usual ow of hot air around the oven. When
usingtwoshelvessimultaneouslyallowan"airspace"
by leaving one shelf space empty between.
• You can plan batch baking to make the most efcient
use of the hotter and cooler zones, by cooking a
different food requiring slightly different temperature
on each shelf e.g. small cakes and slab cakes, or two
different types of biscuits (see COOKING / BAKING
TIMETABLE paragraph)
• Light weight, uncoated aluminium trays and pans
are recommended for general cooking. Heavy gauge
and dark coloured utensils do attract extra heat and
may be unsuitable for some foods.
Contact our Service if assistance is required with
cooking results or thermostat operation appears
incorrect.

SWITCHING THE ELECTRIC GRILL
Turn the oven knob round to the symbol or .
The top heating element is turned on and it distributes
heat directly onto the food.
The red warning light will come on to indicate that the
grill heating element has been activated.
An automatic thermostat regulates the inner
temperature.
Besides grilling, it can be used to slightly brown
cooked food.
USING THE GRILL
• The grill is located in the top of the oven and makes
for an extremely versatile and controllable method
of cooking.
• Preheat the grill for a few minutes for quicker
cooking and more succulent results. Preferably add
seasonings after cooking is completed
• The food should be seasoned before cooking. Oil
or melted butter should also be spread on the food
before it is cooked.
• Foods to be grilled should be placed directly on the
shelf. Then place this on the oven shelf required.
Use the oven tray to collect any meat juices (g.
10)
• With electric grill the oven door must be kept
closed.
• The grill offers a xed heat setting but, a great
degree of heat control is possible by selecting the
most suitable oven shelf position for grilling the
particularfood. The lower theshelf, the less intense
the heat. This ability to adjust shelf positions also
allows for a range of bulky foods to be prepared
under the grill which ordinarily couldn't be prepared
in a standard grill compartment. Use Shelf 3 or 4 for
thick cuts of meat, sh llets or chicken pieces.
Use Shelf 2 for larger portions of foods, such as
half chicken, whole sh or browning the tops of
casserole dishes etc.
• Thegrill tray allows an array of foodstobeprepared
under the grill. The most intense heat is directly
beneath the grill burner. Foods requiring more
gentle heat can be placed around the perimeter
of the tray where heat is not quite as intense, for
example, seafood or vegetable kebabs, savouries,
warming hamburger buns or keeping foods warm.
Cooking with the aid of the fan
Some cookers can be equipped with a fan installed
in the rear part of the oven compartment. This can be
activated by pressing the fan switch .
After the fan has been activated, the heat will be
quickly and regularly distributed throughout the oven,
thus allowing different foods to be evenly cooked on
several shelves at the same time, also reducing the
cooking times.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
USEFUL COOKING TIPS
Cakes and bread:
• Heat the oven for at least 15 minutes before you
start cooking bread or cakes.
• Do not open the door during baking because the
cold air would stop the yeast from rising.
• When the cake is cooked turn the oven off and
leave it in for about 10 minutes.
• Do not use the enamelled oven tray or drip pan,
supplied with the oven, to cook cakes in.
• How do you know when the cake is cooked? About
5 minutes before the end of cooking time, put a
cake tester or skewer in the highest part of the
cake. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked.
• And if the cake sinks? The next time use less
liquids or lower the temperature 10°C.
• If the cake is too dry: Make some tiny holes
with a toothpick and pour some drops of fruit
juice or spirits on it. The next time, increase the
temperature 10°C and set a shorter cooking
time.
• If the cake is too dark on top: the next time put
the cake on a lower shelf, cook it at a lower
temperature and longer.
• If the top of the cake is burnt: cut off the burnt layer
and cover with sugar or decorate it with cream,
jam, confectioner’s cream, etc..
• If the cake is too dark underneath: the next time
place it on a higher shelf and cook it at a lower
temperature.
• If the cake or bread is cooked nicely outside but
is still uncooked inside: the next time use less
liquids, cook at a lower temperature and longer.
• If the cake will not come out of the tin: slide a
knife around the edges, place a damp cloth over
the cake and turn the tin upside down. The next
time grease the tin well and sprinkle it with our or
bread crumbs.
• If the biscuits will not come away from the baking
tray: put the tray back in the oven for a while and
lift the biscuits up before they cool. The next time
use a sheet of baking parchment to prevent this
happening again.
Meat:
• If, when cooking meat, the time needed is more
than 40 minutes, turn the oven off 10 minutes
before the end of cooking time to exploit the
residual heat (energy saving).
• Your roast will be juicier if cooked in a closed pan;
it will be crispier if cooked without a lid.
• Normally white meat, poultry and sh need
medium temperatures (less than 200°C).
• To cook “rare” red meats, high temperatures (over
200°C) and short cooking times are needed.
• For a tasty roast, lard and spice the meat.
• If your roast is tough: the next time leave the meat
to ripen longer.
• If your roast is too dark on top or underneath: the
next time put it on a higher or lower shelf, lower
the temperature and cook longer.
• Your roast is underdone? Cut it in slices, arrange
the slices on a baking tray with the gravy and
nish cooking it.
Grilling:
• Sparingly grease and avour the food before
grilling it.
• Always use the grillpan to catch the juices thatdrip
from the meat during grilling.
• Always put a little water in the drip pan. The water
prevents the grease from burning and from giving
off bad smells and smoke. Add more water during
cooking because it evaporates.
• Turn the food half way through cooking.
• If you are grilling fatty poultry (goose) pierce the
skin so the fat can drip away.
The aluminium can be easily corroded if it
comes into contact with organic acids present
in the foods or added during baking (vinegar,
lemon juice). Therefore it is advised not to put
directly the foods on aluminium or enamelled
trays, butALWAYS use the proper oven paper.
