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 also makes it possible to preserve
the vitamins 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 leads to a waste of energy.
• Do not use cast-iron cookware or
cookware with a rough base.
3.5 Using the storage compartment
The storage compartment is at the bottom of
the cooker. To open it, pull the handle
towards you. It can be used to store
cookware or metallic objects necessary
when using the appliance.

Use
15
EN
3.6 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.
Functions list
Ensure that the programmer clock
shows the cooking duration
symbol , otherwise it will not
be possible to turn on the oven.
Press the keys and at the
same time to reset the programmer
clock.
Lower element
The heat coming just from the
bottom allows you to complete the
cooking of foods that require a
higher bottom temperature, without
affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
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.
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).
Fan + bottom
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.
In pyrolytic models, the special
defrost and proving functions are
brought together under the same
function.

3.7 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan with grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put
into the cold oven or into the preheated
oven if you wish to change the effect of
the cooking.
• With the Fan with grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend
that you turn the temperature knob to the
maximum value near the symbol to
optimise cooking.
• Foods should be seasoned before
cooking. Foods should also be coated
with oil or melted butter before cooking.
• Use the oven tray on the first bottom shelf
to collect liquids produced by grilling.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to
absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked
right through: At the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point
of the dessert. If the dough does not stick
to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes
out of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about
10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
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.
Vapor Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a
small quantity of water poured onto
the appropriate groove placed on
the bottom.

Use
17
EN
• While cooking desserts or vegetables,
excessive condensation may form on the
glass. In order to avoid this, open the
door very carefully a couple of times
while cooking.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• Place frozen foods without their
packaging in a lidless container on the
first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on
the second level and a tray on the first
level. In this way, the liquid from the
defrosting food drains away from the
food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered
with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of
water should be placed in the bottom of
the oven.
To save energy
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean
at all times.

Recommendations for cleaning the hob
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
Smudges from aluminium-based pans can
be easily cleaned off with a cloth
dampened in vinegar.
After cooking, remove any burnt residues
with the scraper provided; rinse with water
and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Regular use of the scraper considerably
reduces the need for chemical detergents
for the daily cleaning of the hob.
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour do not affect the
operation and stability of the glass. These
are not alterations to the material of the hob
but just residues which have not been
removed and have then carbonised.
Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases
of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing
on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the
cleaning process several times. Use of
corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan
bases can wear away the decoration on
the hob over time and contribute to the
formation of stains.
Weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning
product. Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The silicon in these products
creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks
stay on the membrane and can therefore be
removed easily. After cleaning, dry the
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob while cooking or place
materials or substances which could melt
on it (plastic or tin foil). If this happens, to
avoid damage to the surface, turn off the
heat immediately and clean the surface
with the scraper provided while the
cooking zone is still lukewarm.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
