HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy in a responsible
way not only saves money
but also helps the environment
So let’s save energy!
And this is how you can do it:
●Use proper pans for cooking.
Pans with thick, flat bases can save up to
1/3 on electric energy. Remember to cover
pans if possible otherwise you will use four
times as much energy!
●Match the size of the saucepan to the
surface of the heating plates.
A saucepan should never be smaller than
a heating plate.
●Ensure heating plates and pan bases
are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer-and
repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often
be removed by products which cause
damage to the environment.
●Do not uncover the pan too often(a
watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the door unnecessarily.
●Switch off the oven in good time and
make use of residual heat.
For long cooking times,switch off heating
zones 5 to 10 minutes before finishing
cooking.This saves up to 20% on energy.
●Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker burner.
●Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40minutes
it is recommended to switch off the oven
10 minutes before the end time.
Caution !
When using the timer set appropriately
shorter cooking times according to the dish
being prepared.
●Only grill with the ultrafan after closing
the oven door.
●Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals.Clean up any spillages immediately.
●Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.
Do not use pans with sharp edges that may
cause damage to the ceramic hob.
Do not look directly at the halogen heating
zone (not covered with a pan)when they are
warming up.

Static Grill
When the “combined grill” is active it
enables grilling with the grill and with the
top heater switched on at the same time.
This function allows a higher temperature
at the top of the cooking area, which
cause more intense browning of the dish
and permits larger portions to be grilled.
Warning!
When using function grill it is recommended
that the oven door is closed.
When the grill is in use accessible parts
can become hot.

Before any maintenance is started
involving electrical parts, the
appliance must be disconnected
from the power supply.
If the oven has been in use, let the
oven cavity and the heating elements
cool down before attempting any
maintenance.
Changing the bulb
Unscrew the protective cover. We
recommend that you wash and dry the
glass cover at this point.
Carefully remove the old bulb and
insert the new bulb suitable for high
temperatures (300º℃) having the
following specifications: 220-240V,
50Hz, 25W, G9 fitting.
Refit the protective cover.
IMPORTANT
Never use screwdrivers or other
utensils to remove the light cover.
This could damage the enamel of the
oven or the lampholder. Remove only
by hand.
IMPORTANT
Never replace the bulb with bare
hands as contamination from your
fingers can cause premature failure.
Always use a clean cloth or gloves.

BAKING IN THE OVEN
Baking
We recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker which
should be put on the drying rack;
Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick(if
the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into the
cake);
After switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.;
The baking parameters given in tables are approximate and can be corrected based
on your own experience and cooking preferences;
If information given in recipe books is significantly different from the values included

BAKING IN THE OVEN
Baking cakes and loaves
Warning!
The baking parameters given in Tables
are approximate and can be corrected
based on your own experience and
cooking preferences.
In case you may not find any particular
type of cake in the tables, use the
information available for the next most
similar type of cake.
Baking with upper and lower heaters
Use only a single guide level.
This baking position is especially suitable
for baking dry pastry, bread and teacakes.
Use dark baking pans. Light pans
reflect heat and pastry is not adequately
browned.
Always place baking pans on the grid
rack. Remove the grid only of baking in
the flat biscuit tray, supplied with the
appliance.
Preheating shortens the baking time. Do
not put the cake in the oven until proper
temperature is obtained.
Baking tips
Is cake cooked?
Pierce the cake with a wooden skewer at the
thickest part, if the dough does not stick to
it, the cake is baked. You may switch off
the oven and use the remaining heat.
