Electric plate
Depending on the cooking the knob for
electric plate can be fixed on 6 different
positions (fig. 14), from 6 (maximum heat) to
1 (minimum heat).
To spare the electric plate and for saving
power, we advise you:
1. to use flat bottom pots, with the right
diameter, never smaller.
2. avoid liquids over flowing when boiling.
3. never leave the plates on without a pot on
them or with an empty pot on them.
In models supplied with a cover, it should not
be closed when the burners are still hot.
How to chose the burner
Above every knob there is a symbol for the
corresponding burner.
For better cooking results, always chose pans
which properly fit to the diameter of the burner
used (fig. 15).
We advise to lower the flame as soon as the
liquid starts boiling.
For a right ignition keep the burner ring and
the sparklers always clean.
Hot plate
What pot to use
Always use pots which properly fit to the
chosen burner (14-16 cm). Chose thick, flat
bottom pots (fig. 16).
Use advice
•Never leave the plates on without a pan
on them or put a material between the
plate and the pot;
•For saving power, it is advisable to cover
the pot every time the recipe allows it;
•Turn off the knob before cooking is
finished as the accumulated heat will
finish cooking (paste, rice, smoothing);
•For avoiding overflowing (milk, oil, sauce
…) fix the knob on a weaker position
some minutes before boiling, do not fill
the pots;
•When reducing the power or the plate is
turned off, the temperature lowers
slowly

4. Accessories delivered with the appliance
Beside the accessories delivered with the
appliance we advise you to use only heat
proof pots (according to the instructions of the
manufacturer).
Your cooker is equipped with:
•a grate, pan support for putting the dishes
on (roast, pastry moulds …)
The dish has to be put in the middle of the
grate to balance the weight.
•a roasting tray.
It is used to collect juice when cooking in it,
place it on the shelf 2.
If you do not use the dripping pan, remove it
from the oven.
•a protective screen
It is used for when using the grill and the turn-
spit.
A turn spit (poz.1 in fig.17) made up of:
- 2 forks

ADVICE FOR USE
Oven cooking
•Turn off your oven 5 minutes before the
foreseen cooking time you will save
power, the accumulated heat will allow
to end cooking;
•The thickness, the conductibility and the
color of pot influences the culinary
results;
•When cooking, certain dishes increase
in volume, choose the pot so that above
the raw mixture remain enough place;
•For preventing fat dripping when
roasting use tall rim pans proportional to
the piece to be roasted;
•Prick the skin of poultry and the
sausage with a fork before cooking to
avoid its blowing up;
•Between the dish and the oven grid
could be put an aluminium foil but not
covering all the grid;
•Use glass heat resisting pans for crispy
and soufflés;
•Add some fat before finishing the
cooking.
Never line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil. It would result in an
accumulation of heat which might
damage the cooking results and also
damage the enamel.
The cover has to be opened when using the
oven.
Influence of the pots on oven cooking
results
You have to know that:
•The aluminium, the terracotta pots
diminish the browning bellow and
maintains the humidity of the meals. We
advice to use it for pastry, roast meat.
•The enameled cast iron, the tinned pots,
the glass and the heat-proof porcelain,
the pots with non-sticky interior and
colored exterior, increase the browning
bellow and dries the meals. We suggest
to use them for pies and all other crispy
cooking that has to be colored bellow
and above.
Cooking on the hob
Choose always the right pot, proportional to
the burner used.
In case you use a large bottom pot, put it
slight backwards on the plate, so that its
bottom should not outrun the front of the
enameled hob, thus avoiding flame
exceeding and overheating of front panel.
Before covering make sure the hob
is cooled, otherwise the cover could be
damaged.

16
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning, check that the
knobs are on “off” position, that the
appliance has cooled completely and
that it is disconnected.
Never use abrasive powder or wire
sponge for cleaning the appliance.
Burners
Clean the covers with warm water and mild
detergent, remove all crust.
Never use vinegar.
The flame splitters have to be kept clean for
ensuring good ignition.
Before igniting make sure the flame splitter
and the caps are properly replaced.
The assembly has to be perfectly dry.
Control panel, knobs, enameled pan
support, cover, front and side panels
For cleaning them use a wet sponge with a
soft detergent, rinse and dry.
Hob
After every use wipe it with a sponge
soaked in warm detergent water, avoiding
leakage through the wholes of the hob.
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
In case of overflowing, wet and leave it
dissolving but do not scratch and avoid use
of abrasive or caustic products that could
damage the enamel.
Wipe immediately the stains of vinegar,
lemon, generally the acid substances.
Self-cleaning oven
Principle:
The walls of your cooker, except the soil are
protected by special porous enamel. It is
frosted and hard. It absorbs and destroys
the fat splashes when warm.
Maintenance
Sometimes when cooking causes a lot of fat
projections (poultry, roasted meat …), the
time or the temperature are not always
enough for eliminating the fat. In this case,
after cooking remove all the accessories
from the oven (grid, dripping tray), fix the
thermostat on position “250” and leave it
function empty for 45 min, then select
position for 5 minutes. If you start this
operation from cold oven count 60 minutes
for cleaning.
The soil which is not self cleaning enameled
can be pulled out, if necessary, for dripping.
Anyhow, it has to be cleaned separately,
before starting the self-cleaning, in order to
avoid burning of dirt.
Electric plate
Use a wet sponge and detergent, rinse and
dry. If necessary heat beforehand the plate
for burning the dirt.
The plates must be maintained dry.
From time to time you can wipe with an
absorbant paper lightly oiled.
The oven door is hotter the usually,
do not allow children near the appliance.

17
Oven
Enamelled parts: Same cleaning as other
enamelled parts.
Oven door cleaning
For a complete cleaning of the oven door it
is advisable to dismantle as follows:
-open the door completely (fig.18)
-turn the two blocking parts on the hinges
arms 60º.
-close partially the door, to a 30º angle
(fig.19).
-lift the door and pull it out.
The internal oven door glass can be
removed for cleaning. For this purpose draw
out the 2 fixing screws (fig.20).
Important: The inner glass has to be
always in place when using the oven.
Cleaning of the accessories.
Clean them with warm water and detergent,
rinse well and dry.
