4.1 Before using the appliance
4.1.1 Preparing the use
Remove all packaging materials and adhesive films from the range very carefully. Re-
move the protective plastic film from the panels, being careful not to leave any traces of
glue on the steel surface; if necessary, remove any glue traces left by using non-flammable
solvents.
Before cooking food for the first time, we recommend cleaning the appliance --and espe-
cially the cooking plates-- thoroughly.
Before cleaning the stainless steel parts, make sure that the detergent you intend to use
does not contain any abrasive substances and is suitable for stainless steel surfaces.
After cleaning the appliance, rinse it with clean water and wipe it dry with a cloth.
Before using the cooking plates for the first time, you should heat them to the highest tem-
perature for about 4 minutes, without placing any pots on them. During this first stage, the
protective coating will harden and reach its highest strength.
Never place the appliance under a jet of water to clean it!

4.2.4 Turning on the electric oven
Select the required heating direction using the knob shown as item 23 in ”Fig. 5” . The
power indicator light (item 25) will come on. Set the cooking chamber temperature by
turning the operating thermostat knob clockwise (item 24). The heating elements will start
operating and both the power indicator light (item 25) and the oven operation indicator
light (item 26) will light up. The operation indicator light will go out as soon as the set
temperature is reached. Oven temperature can be set from 50°C to 300°C and to any value
in between.
An unpleasant smell the very first time it is operated can be considered as completely nor-
mal. In fact, this is due to the overheating of insulating materials and residues of oil used
during the metal working process. The first time you turn it on, don’t place any food in
the cooking chamber and set the temperature to 300°C until the smell disappears.

4.2.6 Preheating
Preheating the chambers will ensure excellent cooking results. To do so, make sure that
the door is closed and set cooking chamber temperature to a value that is about 25-50°C
higher than the required cooking temperature. Considering the decrease in temperature
that occurs in the chamber when you open the oven door, you should wait until the set
temperature has stabilised (the "heating on" indicator light goes out) before placing any
products into the oven and setting the cooking temperature. If you need to cook foodstuffs
that require high temperatures, leave the pans or wire shelves in the oven while preheating
it.
4.3 After-use care
4.3.1 Cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the appliance off and
disconnect it from the electricity supply.
The main causes for stainless steel wear or corrosion are:
• using abrasive or acid detergents, especially chlorine-based products such as hy-
drochloric acid or sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Therefore, before buying a deter-
gent, make sure that it does not cause stainless steel corrosion;
• stagnation of ferrous deposits (such as those created by rust dissolved in the water
flowing through the piping, especially after the appliance has remained idle for
some time). Therefore, avoid such stagnation. Do not use wire wool pads to re-
move the most stubborn food stains. Use, rather, wool or spatulas made of stainless
steel or softer, non-ferrous materials;
• stagnation of substances having acid components such as vinegar, lemon juice,
sauces, salt, etc. Avoid prolonged contact of the stainless steel surfaces of the ap-
pliance with those substances. The evaporation of saline solutions over the surfac-
es of the appliance is particularly harmful to them.
Cleaning the appliance thoroughly on a daily basis (switch power off!) is the best way to
keep it in excellent working condition and increase its lifetime.
Never use direct water jets to clean the appliance, as this could cause water to enter the
appliance and damage it.
4.3.2 Routine cleaning
Clean the appliance with a damp cloth and soapy water or detergent, but avoid acid or
abrasive detergents as discussed above. Those detergents should not even be used to clean
the floor near the appliance, as their vapours may deposit on the steel surfaces and damage
them. Rinse the appliance off with clean water and wipe it dry.
Carry out routine cleaning using a damp cloth. To remove the most stubborn food stains,
pour a small quantity of regular detergent on the cloth. Finally, eliminate any residue of
detergent from the cooking plate and dry it by heating it for a few seconds. After complet-
ing this operation, apply a thin film of vegetable oil.

Scratches and dark stains
Scratches and dark stains may be smoothed or removed by using stainless steel wool pads
or synthetic abrasive sponges, rubbing always in the same direction as the satin finish.
Rust
If you need to remove rust stains, contact manufacturers of industrial detergents to find a
suitable product. Industrial descaling products can also be used for this purpose. After us-
ing the cleaner and rinsing off the appliance with clean water, an alkaline detergent may
be required to neutralize any acid compounds left on the surface.
In order to prevent any corrosion spots from forming or any bad smells from building up
as a result of the burning of food residue, you should make sure that the cooking plates
have been thoroughly cleaned before each cooking cycle.
Idle period
If the appliance remains idle for some time or in the event of a failure, abnormal operation,
etc., disconnect power to it; clean the appliance and wipe it dry, and then protect it by ap-
plying a film of a suitable product (such as vaseline oil spray or similar products).
If the appliance fails to work, contact the service.
4.3.3 Periodic maintenance
Only qualified personnel are allowed to carry out service and maintenance procedures.
The following maintenance operation should be performed at least once a year:
- checking for proper operation of all control devices.
We strongly recommend concluding a maintenance agreement with the supplier, provid-
ing for at least one check-up per year.

turning on any heating element, make sure that all packaging materials and protective
films have been removed.
Level the appliance using a bubble level. The appliance can be height-adjusted by means
of its adjustable feet (height can be adjusted from 860 to 900 mm, while only small ad-
justments can be made to countertop appliances). In this way, the appliance will be firmly
secured.
Ensure compliance with all workplace fire and safety regulations.
The appliance should be installed, serviced and connected to the power supply as well as
started up only by an authorised installer that must ensure full compliance with the safety
regulations in force in the place where the appliance is installed.
For your information, we remind you that all appliances installed in premises open to pub-
lic must meet the following requirements:
The appliance must be both installed and serviced in compliance with all applicable rules
and legal regulations in force, namely:
• Safety regulations on fire hazard and panic in premises open to public.
• General regulations valid for all appliances:
• Heating, ventilation, refrigeration, air-conditioning, and generation of steam and
hot water for sanitary use.
• Installation of professional cooking appliances.
• Specific regulations applicable to each type of premises open to public (hospitals,
shops, etc.).
If the appliance is installed with its sides next to flammable walls (made of wood or sim-
ilar materials) or to heat-sensitive walls (made of plasterboard or similar materials), suit-
able protective measures should be taken to keep such walls undamaged. Apply a coating
to insulate the walls from radiating heat or keep a minimum clearance of 50 mm (2") from
the side of the appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage to property or injury to persons
due to installation errors or inappropriate use of the appliance.
