In this way fat can be collected separately
from the food which is being cooked.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not cover the bottom of the oven
cavity with aluminium or tin foil sheets.
• If you wish to use greaseproof paper,
place it so that it will not interfere with the
hot air circulation inside the oven.
• Do not place pans or trays directly on
the bottom of the oven cavity.
• Do not use the open door to rest pans or
trays on the internal glass pane.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot
trays.
• Cooking vessels or griddle plates
should be placed inside the perimeter of
the hob.

• If any liquid does boil over or spill,
remove the excess from the hob.
• Never place pans with bases which are
not perfectly flat and smooth.
• Avoid hard, solid objects falling on the
surface of the hob.
• In case you notice cracks or fissures, turn
off the appliance immediately,
disconnect the power supply and
contact Technical Support.
• Do not use the hob as a support surface.

Use
17
EN
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the rack from being removed
accidentally must face downwards and
towards the back of the oven cavity.
3.3 Using the hob
Residual heat
The indicator lights located between the
cooking zones come on when the
temperature of one or more of the radiant
zones exceeds 60°C. These indicator lights
switch off when the temperature falls below
approximately 60°C.
Switching on the cooking zones
The appliance has cooking zones of
different diameters and power levels.
Their positions and the edges of the
heated area are shown by the markings
on the glass.
The cooking zones are of the HIGH-
LIGHT type, they turn on after a few
seconds and the heating is adjustable
using the controls on the control panel,
from low to high.
Gently insert racks and trays into
the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them
for the first time to remove any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.
Improper use
Danger of burns
• Children cannot readily see the residual
heat indicator. The cooking zones
remain hot for a certain period of time
even after they have been turned off.
Make sure that children never touch the
hob.

Use
18
Switching off the cooking zones
To switch off the cooking zones, turn the
corresponding knobs to 0.
Double heating zones
To turn on the double heating zones,
turn the knob to the maximum value and
then to the symbols or . When
the knob is released, it automatically
returns to the highest power position.
To adjust the power of the double
heating zone, turn the knob to the
required position, from low to high.
To return to operation with only the
single central plate, turn the knob to 0
and then turn it back to a position
between minimum and maximum.
Practical advice for using the hob
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check
whether the diameter indicated is that of
the base or the top of the container, as
the top is almost always larger than the
base.
• The base of the cookware must be thick
and completely flat. It should also be
clean and dry. The hob should be clean
and dry as well.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which helps to retain vitamins contained
in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with
a suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan wastes energy.
• Do not use cast-iron cookware or
cookware with a rough base.
3.4 Using the oven
Switching on the oven
To switch on the oven:
1. Select the cooking function using the
function knob.
2. Select the temperature using the
temperature knob.
Under certain circumstances, if the
hob and the oven are being used
at the same time, the maximum
power limit that can be used by the
electrical system might be
exceeded.
Regular flashing of the thermostat
indicator light during cooking is
normal and indicates that the
temperature is being maintained
constant inside the oven.

EN
Functions list
Static
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Traditional cooking,
also known as static cooking, is
suitable for cooking just one dish at
a time. Perfect for all types of roasts,
bread and cakes, and in any case,
particularly suitable for fatty meats
such as goose and duck.
Fan + lower element
The combination of the fan with just
the lower heating element allows
cooking to be completed more
rapidly. This system is
recommended for sterilising or for
finishing off the cooking of foods
which are already well-cooked on
the surface, but not inside, which
therefore need a little more heat.
Perfect for any type of food.
Small grill
Using only the heat released from
the central element, this function
allows you to grill small portions of
meat and fish for making kebabs,
toasted sandwiches and any types
of grilled vegetable side dishes.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill
element gives perfect grilling results
above all for thin and medium
thickness meat and, in combination
with the rotisserie (where fitted),
gives the food an even browning at
the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, spare ribs and bacon.
This function enables large
quantities of food, particularly meat,
to be grilled evenly.
Fan with grill
The air produced by the fan softens
the strong heatwave generated by
the grill, grilling perfectly even very
thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
Turbo
The combination of fan assisted
cooking and traditional cooking
allows different foods to be cooked
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense
cooking.

Use
20
3.5 Programmer clock
Value decrease key
Clock key
Increase key
Fan with circulaire
The combination of the fan and the
circulaire heating element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven)
allows you to cook different foods
on several levels, as long as they
need the same temperatures and
same type of cooking. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and even
distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish,
vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without odours and flavours mingling.
Eco
This function is particularly suitable
for cooking on a single shelf with
low energy consumption.
Ideal for cooking meat, fish and
vegetables. It is not recommended
for leavened foods.
To obtain maximum energy savings
and reduce cooking times, it is
recommended to place food in the
oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function,
avoid opening the door during
cooking.
Cooking (and preheating) times
are longer with the ECO function.
Vapor Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a little
quantity of water poured onto the
appropriate groove placed on the
bottom. (see section “Cleaning and
maintenance”)
Ensure that the programmer clock
shows the cooking duration
symbol , otherwise it will not
be possible to turn on the oven.
