Accessories
Clean the accessories before using them for the first time. Wash the shelves, roasting pan,
etc. in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry
Shelf
For placing dishes on (roast, pastry,
mounds)
The dish should be put in the middle of the
shelf to balance the weight.
Roasting tray
It is used to collect juice;
When cooking on it, place it on the 2nd
shelf.
If you do not use the roasting tray,
remove it from the oven.

Before first use
Before the first use be sure that the room is well ventilated: V.M.C. (Mechanic
ventilation) or opened window.
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the oven.
Keep the children under supervision. The cooker becomes very hot.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant
odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Remove the oven accessories.
2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective films, if there are any.
3. Heat the oven the corresponding knob on position “250” for about 45 min.
Clean the accessories with a soft detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.
About condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents
allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven when
opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim,
it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the
oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from
surfaces.
Cookware
Use any ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C.
Daily use
Electric hotplate
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0-6
0 – Off
1 – Minimum
6 – Maximum
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal hotplates
We recommend to switch the hotplates to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and
then to adjust to the required setting.

8
Rapid Hotplate (Front left)
The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat up more quickly than a normal
plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may disappear, this will not affect the performance of
the hotplate.
It is important to note that the hotplate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant
odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after some
time.
Main pilot light
This light will illuminate when the oven function control knob is set or the hotplate
control knobs are turned on and remain lit while these are in use.
Do not put anything on the hob that is liable to melt.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table:

Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid hotplates should have
several characteristics:
•They should be fairly heavy duty.
•They should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER
smaller.
•They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the hotplate. This is particularity
important when using pans for high
temperature frying pressure cooking.
Good use
Bad use

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn the hotplate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
You can switch off the hotplate a short while
before you finish cooking and the final stage will be
completed using the accumulated heat.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being split into the plates. Never leave the
plates on without a pan on them or with an
empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles
inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a
pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force
Centre.

oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of the oven can damage the enamel through
overheating. The oven gets hot when in use: CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE SUPERVISED.
The baking tray may warp temporarily due to temperature fluctuations, or if the food,
(pizza, etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes its shape when cool.
