Fig. 3.1 Fig. 3.2
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 set on it.
The heat does not spread in a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a
few centimeters from the cooking plate.
The cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
Important note:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF
during all settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter
to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a
fault with the appliance.
“HI-LIGHT” RADIANT ZONES
The heating element (g. 3.2) is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1to 12
(maximum temperature) (g. 3.1).

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features a warning lamp (on
the control panel, g. 3.6) which is wired to
the plates.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is
above 60°C, the relevant warning 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 control knob to
the position required for cooking.
• You should only use pots and pans
with at 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 complete the cooking.
• To save electricity, use pan lids
whenever possible.
• Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
DO NOT USE GLASSWARE ON CERAMIC HOBS.
DO NOT USE PANS WITH ROUGHT CIRCULAR
MACHINED BASE.
Fig. 3.8
Fig. 3.7
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
do not ll the pan more than one hird full
of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO
NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a re, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the control
knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the ames. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

15
ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE
COOKTOP
• Before switching on make sure that you
have the correct knob for the hotplate
chosen. It is advisable to put the pan on
the hotplate before switching on and to
take it away after switching off.
• Use cookware with at and even
bottoms (be careful when using cast iron
vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch
the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful
that the bottom is clean and dry.
• Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the bob.
• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
bob.
• The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully eliminate any
food remains (especially containing
sugar),dirtetc.withtheaidofacleansing
agent.
• Make sure that the handles of cookware
do not stick out over the edge of the
cooker, to avoid them being knocked
over by accident. This also makes it
more difcult for children to reach the
cooking vessels.
• Do not lean over the cooking zones
when they are switched on.
• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects
on the glass ceramic cooktop. If the
surface is broken or damaged unplug
the appliance and contact the after-sales
service.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic
objects on the cooking zones when they
are hot.
• Remember that the cooking zones
remain hot for some time after they are
switched off (about 30 mm.).
• Followthecleaning instructions carefully.
• If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediately
and call the After-Sales Service.
Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic
surface as a work surface.
CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.
Remove any encrustation using a scraper
specic for glass ceramic surfaces.
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 damage
the glass surface of the hob. All traces of
the cleaner have to be removed with a
damp cloth.
It is highly recommended to keep off the
hob any article which can melt: plastic,
aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures
etc.
If any of these products has melted 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.
Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil 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 tool (i.e. scraper) take extra
care to avoid damage to the seal at the
edges of the glass ceramic surface.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the conventional
oven are obtained:
a. by natural convection
The heat is produced by the upper and
lower heating elements.
b. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red grill
element.
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the oven
and introduce it together with the food,
when the oven has reached the desired
temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time
to recuperate the stored heat.
GENERAL FEATURES
2differentthermostatic controlfunctionsare

• Grill element
NOTE: Upon rst use, it is advisable
to operate the oven at the maximum
temperature (thermostat knob on position
250) for 60 minutes in the position and
for another 15 minutes in the , mode
in order to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.
Smells and fumes produced during this
burn off process are not a cause of alarm.
Adequate ventilation should however be
provided in the room where the appliance
is installed, e.g. by opening a window.
Attention: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating element inside the oven
cavity.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements are switched on.
The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be set between 50°C
and 250° C.
It is necessary to preheat the oven before adding the foods to be cooked.
Recommended for:
For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i. e.
roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.
ECO FUNCTION (ENERGY SAVING)
The upper and lower heating elements are switched on.
The heat is diffused by natural convection.
This function reduces the appliance’s energy consumption, it is therefore particularly
benecial for the gentle cooking of small quantities of food on a single shelf.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven and use with the oven door closed.
Cooking times may be longer than standard functions.
Do not use this function to preheat the oven.
Recommended for:
Foods that require gentle cooking. To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already
cooked foods.
GRILLING
The infra-red heating element is switched on.
The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature knob to 200°C maximum.
Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the rack as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to collect the cooking juices.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time (Grilling for longer than
the reccomended time may mean the appliance overheats).
Caution: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well
out of reach.

The set temperature has been
reachedwhenthetemperature
indicator light goes out.
Several different meals may
be cooked simultaneously
on various shelves, as the
heated air circulates evenly
throughout the oven.
Thehot airsystem cooksmore
quickly than conventional
static system, therefore the
temperature should be set
10°C - 20°C below the values
recommended in your recipe
books.
The oven door may be opened
briey while cooking to check
on the food, as any heat
losses are quickly recovered
when the door is closed.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.
Fig. 5.1
COOKING WITH FORCED AIR
Preheat the oven at the desired
temperature, the set value is reached
when the temperature indicator light
goes off.
For a correct preheating it is advisable
to remove the shelves from the oven
and reintroduce then, with the food,
when the oven has reached the desired
temperature.
Fan cooking is more economical and
quicker than cooking in a conventional
oven.
The moving hot air surrounds the food
and penetrates it more quickly than in a
conventional oven.
Cooking yeast based dishes is also
speeded up this way. If the oven door has
been opened, the oven quickly regains its
temperature once the door is closed.
