How to use the vitroceramic hob
4
4
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a
fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the
pans sat on it.
The heat does not spread in the hori-
zontal direction, so that the glass stays
“cool” at only a few centimeters from
the cooking plate.
The 5 cooking plates are shown by
painted disks on the ceramic surface.
3 CIRCUIT RADIANT ZONES
Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.
4.2) you can control and light up all 3
together or separately by selecting from
the 6 positions on the control knob (fig.
4.1).
The working temperature required is
reached in a very short time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches the element
ON/OFF during all the settings to pro-
tect the ceramic glass from overheat-
ing.
The use of incorrect pans and/or
wrong pan positioning will cause the
temperature limiter to operate more fre-
quently, resulting in a reduction of
cooking performance.

Second element Second element
DOUBLE AND OVAL
RADIANT ZONES
The heating element is formed of a coil
of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is con-
trolled by a continuous energy regulator
from 1 to 12 (maximum temperature)
(fig. 4.3).
To turn on both zones of the double
element, turn the double element
knob fully clockwise to the position .
To reduce the heat of the full double
element, turn its knob anticlockwise to
setting 12 or lower. Adjust the heat dur-
ing cooking as necessary.
Note: if you leave the knob at the
position, the full double element will
remain at the highest heat setting.
To return to using only the inner
zone of the double element, first
turn the knob to the 0 (off) position
(you should feel a click) and then clock-
wise to a setting from 1 to 12.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
The hob also features 5 warning lights
which are connected to the correspond-
ing plates.
When the temperature of a cooking
plate is above 60 °C, the relevant warn-
ing light will also light up to warn of
heat on the surface of the hob.
This light also stay on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to show
that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this time you should avoid
touching the hob surface over the
cooking area.
Please pay special attention to
ensure that children are not
allowed near the hob.
The light will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the
cooking plate falls below 60°C.
COOKING HINTS:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can
turn the control knob to the max when
you switch the plate on.
After a short time you can set the con-
trol knob to the position required for
cooking.
– You should only use pots and pans
with flat bases (pans with the test mark
for glass-ceramic hobs are available
from specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should match
that of the cooking plate (or be slightly
bigger) to make the most of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface will stays hot
for a certain time after the plate has
been switched off, you can switch it off
5 or 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will com-
plete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids whenev-
er possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic hob, but in special pans
or containers.
–Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic sur-
face as a work surface.
Caution! the cooking hob becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Fig. 4.7
DO NOT USE GLASSWARE ON CERAMIC HOBS.
DO NOT USE PANS WITH ROUGH CIRCULAR MACHINED BASE.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat fry-
ing, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and
DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the con-
trol knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan
to smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before mov-
ing the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

Do not use the glass surface for
storage.
16
SAFETY HINTS:
– Before you switch the hob on, make
sure you know which knob controls the
required cooking plate. We advise you
to set the pan over the cooking plate
before switching it on. Remove the pan
after you have switched the cooking
plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage
(scratch) the glass surface of the hob.
Make sure that the bottom of the pan is
dry and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans must
be clean. Carefully remove any food
debris (especially containing sugar), dirt
etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is
a great danger of knocking the pan
over.
This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
– Do not use the hob if the glass sur-
face is broken or cracked in any
way. Please disconnect the cooker
from the mains and contact the
after-sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate
when in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materi-
als on the ceramic surface when it is
hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
CLEANING THE HOB
Before you begin cleaning make
sure that the appliance is switched
off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure
that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can dam-
age the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be removed
with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have melt-
ed on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface
is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any
permanent damage to the surface of the
hob. (Available under part No. 103138).
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils
since these can damage the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob
using a special scraper tool take
extra care to avoid damaging the
seal at the edges of the glass ceramic
surface.

GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically con-
trolled, are obtained by 4 heating ele-
ments which are:
– Bottom element 1725 W
– Top element 1725 W
– Grill element 2500 W
– Circular element 2200 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to
operate the oven for 30 minutes in the
position and for another 30 minutes at
the maximum temperature (thermostat
knob on position 250) in the positions
and , to eliminate possible traces of
grease on the heating elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch
the hot heating element inside the
oven cavity.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-
FUNCTION oven are obtained in the
following ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
The fan draws in air contained with-
in the oven housing at the rear of
the oven and forces it over the circu-
lar heating element. The hot air
envelops the food in the oven givin
faster and more even cooking before
it is drawn back into the housing to
repeat the cycle. It is possible to cook
several dishes simultaneously due to
the even distribution of heat within
the oven.
c. by forced semi-convection
The heat produced by the top and
bottom heating elements is distrib-
uted throughout the oven by the
fan.
d. by radiant heat
The food is grilled by the infra red
grill element.
e. by radiant heat and ventilation
The food is grilled by the grill ele-
ment is distributed throughout the
oven
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.
