USE and CARE
CAUTION:
■This appliance must be used only for the task it has explicitly been designed for,
that is for cooking foodstuffs. Any other form of usage is to be considered as
inappropriate and therefore dangerous.
■Do NOT place combustible materials or products on this appliance at any time.
■Do NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in use.
■Before using for the first time, clean the cooktop with warm soapy water. We
recommend that you run each plate individually for several minutes. To do this,
place a saucepan of cold water on each plate in turn, and bring the water to
the boil. This should give enough time for the plates to burn off properly.
During this procedure the room should be well ventilated, as there may be an
emission of smoke and a slight odour.
Figure 3A Figure 3B
SLIDING SHELVES
■They facilitate the insertion and removal shelves during cooking. These shelves
support all accessories and the dishwarmer safe.
■The shelves block when pulled to the maximum position.
■The sliding shelves can be removed easily by lifting slightly and detaching them
from the oven walls.
■Removing the sliding shelves improves access to the oven ceiling for cleaning
(after the grill heating element has been lowered).

9
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
■Slide off the sliding shelves and the catalytic liners to the oven wall as in Fig. 3A.
The grill is secured to the rear wall of the oven on a hinge system that allows it
to be lowered to allow proper access when cleaning the oven ceiling (fig. 3B).
■Clean the inside of the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent
and dry thoroughly.
■Slide in the catalytic liners and sliding shelves on the oven wall as in Fig. 3A.
■Slide in the grease filter on the back of the oven as in Fig. 4.
■Position the shelf and tray on the sliding shelves (fig. 3C).
■To eliminate traces of grease in manufacture it is necessary to pre-heat the oven
at the maximum temperature.
• For 60 minutes in the position, for 30 minutes in the position and for
another 15 minutes in the position.
GREASE FILTER
■A special screen is provided at the back of the oven to catch grease particles,
mainly when meat is being roasted (fig. 4).
■When backing pastry etc. this filter should be removed.
■Always clean the filter after cooking as any solid residues on it might adversely
affect the oven performance.

VITROCERAMIC HOB
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direc-
tion, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set upon it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at
only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.
The 4 cooking plates are shown by dark disks on the ceramic surface.
COOKING ZONES
1. Radiant hotplate Ø 145 1200 W
2. Radiant hotplate Ø 180 1700 W
3. Radiant hotplate Ø 145 1200 W

TYPE OF HOTPLATES
RADIANT HOTPLATES:
■Each radiant plate is comprised of the elements which can be controlled
either separately or together using the 7 position switches fig. 6.
■The temperature control knobs must be turned anti clockwise. When a plate
is on, the indicator light on the control panel will be lit.
■When the temperature of any plate is over 60°C the residual heat warning
light at the front of the hob will light up.
■This light will stay on even after the hob has been switched off to show
that the hob surface is still hot.
■This light will automatically switch off when the surface temperature falls
below 60°C.

SAFETY HINTS:
1. Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when the
hob is hot.
2. Make sure that the hob is clean before you use it.
3. Remember that the plates will remain hot for approximately half an hour
after the plate has been switched off.
4. Before you switch the hob on, make sure that you know which knob
controls the required hot plate. We advise you to set the pan over the
cooking plate before switching it on.
5. Pan handles should never stand beyond the kitchen work top. This will
ensure that children cannot reach them.
6. Do not use pans with rough bases as these may scratch the hob surface.
7. DO NOT use the hob if the glass surface is broken or cracked in any way.
Please disconnect the appliance from the mains and call the After-Sales
Service.
8. Do not lean over the cooking plate when in use.
9. Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
10. Always ensure that the base of your saucepan is clean and dry before
placing on the hob.
11. Never use the glass surface for storage.
– Do not stare at the light of the halogen hotplate.
WARNING:
■HOBS BECOME VERY HOT WITH USE, AND RETAIN THEIR HEAT FOR A
LONG TIME AFTER COOKING HAS FINISHED. CHILDREN SHOULD BE
SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES AND BE PREVENTED FROM TOUCHING THE
HOT SURFACES UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

14
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 4 warning lamps which are wired to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp is
also lit-up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This lamp also stays on after the cooking plate has been switched off to shown that
the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long time after the cooking plate has been switched
off.
During this spell of time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking
plate; please pay special attention to children.
The lamp will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cook-
ing 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 will set the control knob to the required position for the
cooking.
– You should 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 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 complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
–Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.

■Please note that these are only guidelines, you will quickly learn from
experience which setting is correct for your needs.
ECONOMIC COOKING
■The ceramic glass retains heat, so you may find that you can switch off the
heat 5 minutes before you finish cooking.
■To reduce the cooking time, the plate can be set to the maximum setting at
the beginning. It can then be reduced later.

16
COOKWARE:
It is very important that the pans used on the hobs are made of a suitable material
and have the correct base as follows:
■The base should be flat and smooth.
■Any rough part on the pan base could scratch the hob surface.
■Choose pans which are the same size as the hotplates and with bases that
are as non reflective as possible. eg. dull and dark.
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans made of the following materials can cause problems:
Cast Iron ■The base may be rough which will scratch the hob.
Toughened Glass ■If the pans become too hot, the hob may overheat causing
the safety cut out to operate too frequently thus reducing the
cooking efficiency.
Copper ■Can easily distort and will therefore not form a good contact
between base and hob which will result in uneven cooking.

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
GENERAL FEATURES
With your new Multi-Function oven it is possible to cook a variety of food using the 7
different cooking functions.
These 7 functions are obtained using a combination of the 4 different heating elements
plus a defrost function using the fan only.
Figure 10

8
Please note: This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan which you will hear
operating whenever the oven or grill are in use. This fan is to reduce the external
temperature of the appliance and cool the internal components.

18
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven for one of the following functions.
THERMOSTAT KNOB
This only sets the cooking temperature
and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required
temperature is reached (from 50 to
250°C).
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 in the oven sucks the air that is contained within the oven housing at the
rear of the oven and forced it over the circular heating element.The hot air envelops
the food in the oven giving faster and more even cooking before it is sucked back
into the housing to repeat the cycle. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneous-
ly 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 distributed through-
out the oven by the fan.
d. by radiat heat
The food is grilled by the infra red grill element.
e. by radiat heat and ventilation
The food is grilled by the grill element is distributed throughout the oven
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.
Figure 11

19
DEFROST
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “ ● ” - other tempera-
ture have no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.
Ideal for:
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.
GRILLING
The infrared grill element at the top of the oven comes on. The heat is dispersed by
radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to position 225°C for max
15 minutes, then to position 175°C.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
TRADITIONAL BAKE
The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat being dispersed by
natural convection. The temperature range must be set between 50°C and 250°C
using thermostat.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.
Ideal for:
Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example
roasts, spare pork ribs, meringues etc.
OVEN LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

20
FAN GRILL
Both the grill and the fan come on. Most of the cooking is done by grilling and then
the hot air circulated around the oven. The oven door should be kept closed.
The temperature can be set between 50°C and 175°C maximum.
The oven should be preheated for 5 minutes before cooking. For further cooking hints
see “GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN” (page 21).
Ideal for:
Quick sealing in of food juices for example such as hamburger, chicken pieces, chops.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE AFTER COOKING OR
SLOWLY HEATING FOODS
The upper element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is circulated by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50° and 150°C via the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
Keeping food warm after any type of cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.
MULTI-FUNCTION
The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan come on - the heat from
the element being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50° and 250°C using the thermostat.
Idea for:
Large bulky quantities of food that require even cooking throughout for example large
roasts, turkey, roast turkey, cakes etc.
FAN FORCED
The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and
the temperature can be varied to between 50° and 250°C via the thermostat knob.
The oven does not require preheating.
Recommended for:
Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example lasagne,
lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.
