Instructions for use
Before use
Pleaseensure that anyprotective film andall packing has
beenremoved from thecooker before switchingon.Allow
all elements to run for a short period to burn off any resi-
due from their surfaces.
Electric Cut Out
This cooker has a safety cut out device which switches
OFFthe electric plates whenyouclose the lid.This device
is obviously provided for safety in case the user closes
the lid with the plates on. Always allow electric plates to
cool before closing the lid. Failure to follow these
instruction may cause the glass lid to shatter. When you
open the lid, the plates will switch ON again. Keep the lid
open when using the oven.
Electric hob
The cooker is equipped with standard and fast hot plates.
We recomend the use of utensils with thick, flat bases
specially designed for electric cooking. The diameter of
the base must be the same or slightly greater than that of
the plate.
Please Note: discolouring of the sealing ring around the
base of the hot plate will be experienced. Never operate
the plates without anything on them. The indicator light
(E) comes on when the plate is operating.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the hob when the lid is
down. Do not close the lid when the hob is in
operation. After use allow hot plates to cool before
closing lid.
Fast and standard plates
Every electric hot-plate is controlled by a knob on the
control panel and has six positions plus the “off” position.
Position “1” has minimum power.
Position “6” maximum power.
When the cooker is new it is advisable to use the plates
on minimum position for 30 min. without any pans.

signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the
temperature inside the oven reached the temperature
selectedby the knob.At this point the alternateturning on
and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is
operatingcorrectlytokeeptheoventemperature constant.
Forced air oven
Development of “Forced Air” Oven has meant substantial
reductionsinrunningcostin comparison with conventional
cooking appliances. The term “ForcedAir” is as the name
implies, a method of cooking with the air forced firstly over
theheatingelementsand thenhorizontallythroughtheoven
cavity.Thebenefitsofthisare numerous, it ensures further
utilisationoftheheat generated by the heatingelementsto
provideeventemperaturethroughtouttheovencavity,also
toreduceovenpre-heatingtimesandenablecookingtobe
done at lower temperatures. With even heat distribution
the advantages are to cook at the same time at different
levels the same or different types of food, such as roast
and fish. This fact can only be made possible in a “Forced
Air” Oven, because volatile substances containing odours
and flavours with a molecular structure soluble in water,
flavour contamination can pass into a body being heated
only if there is condensation. With “ForcedAir” this cannot
happen, the immediate heating of the external surfaces of
thefoodmakesthe surfacesdehydratecreatingaprotective
barrier preventing absorption. Coupled with the fact that
theexpelledbythefan is pushedthroughaheatingelement
asterilisationeffectofodoursoccurs.Althoughareduction
in both temperature and duration of cooking is necessary,
these adjustements will be done according to your perso-
nal taste.As a guide we would recommend a reduction of
ten minutes in every hour of cooking with a reduction of
20°C in every 100°C of temperature in comparison with a
conventional oven.
Operation
A knob located on the control panel controls the following
oven operations:
•Defrosting with cold air
•Cooking 70°C-250°C
•Grill G
Commissioning

Defrosting of foods in the oven
Defrostingoccurs in the same wayas at roomtemperatu-
re; however at a faster rate. Electric power consumption
for the defrosting of foods is very low (ab. 0.38 kWh/hr).
Cooking
Different types of foods placed on the various cooking
shelvesofthe oven can becookedsimultaneouslywithout
any mixing up of smells.Aconsiderable saving of electric
power is also achieved at the same time. When several
ovenshelvesareusedforsimultaneouscooking of various
foods,alwaysleave some space from onepantothe other
for better air circulation.
Make sure that air circulation slots on the bottom wall of
the oven are not obstructed. It is advisable to always use
aluminiumpans,ensuring that the foodscontainedtherein
do not overflow, as this could cause burning due to the
flow of hot air. The intermediate oven shelves should be
used when single cooking is done.
Cooking tables
ThefollowingchartprovidesGasOvenMarksapproximate
conversions from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius
(formel known as Centigrade).
This chart can be used for conversions of recipes which
give oven temperatures of °F or gas mark. However do
ensure a reduction is made to temperature and cooking
times with Forced Air cooking: -20° in every 100°C, ten
minutes in every hour.

Theprogrammersystemcancontrolthecookingtimewhile
the user is out or doing other tasks; consequently, foods
requiring no particular attention while cooking are to be
preferred for automatic cooking operations.
The programming of a time past 12 p.m., if you calculate
by continental time, must always be referred to by using
the first 12 hours of the day, for example: the time 20.00
hours must be understood as 8 and so on; therefore, it is
possible to program cooking 12 hours in advance.

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from
the electricity. To assure the long life of the cooker, it
must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind
that:
•the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
•the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
•the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and
they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still
warm;
•the stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water
and dried with a soft, clean cloth or chamois. In case
of difficult spots, use normal, non abrasive detergents
available on the market or else a little warm vinegar;
•in models with glass covers, the covers are cleaned
with hot water, and use of rough cloths or abrasives is
to be avoided.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the electric plates
are still warm.
