3.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, relating to the reduction of the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the
crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached
the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic
refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling,
treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the
environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists.
The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions.
The appliance does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health
and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.
3.2 Your environmental care
Our appliances are packed in non-polluting materials, which are therefore compatible with the
environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the
addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local
organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a
suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household
appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same
position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is
also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.

Instructions for the user
6. USING THE COOKING HOB
6.1 General warnings and advice
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in
their housings with their respective burner caps.
Before lighting the burners lift the glass lid (where present); before closing it again, turn off all burners
and wait for them to cool.
6.2 Lighting the hob burners
All controls and monitoring devices of the appliance are grouped together on the front panel. The burner
controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic lighter.
Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. If
the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to “0” and wait 60 seconds before trying
again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat
up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up
sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer.
If the burners go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the
gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying
to light the burner again.
Warning:
At the end of cooking using pans with aluminium bases you may find white residues on the cast iron
pan stands. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the pan stand and are
difficult to remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively aggressive products to clean the
pan stand could damage its enamel surface.
6.3 Practical hints for using the hob burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable size
for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph “6.5 Pan
diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid
does not boil over. If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob.
To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the
perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before
trying to re-light the burner.
Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated.
6.4 Electric plate
In order to keep food hot using the electric plate, you will need to remove the rack and place the small
trays or saucepans containing the food directly onto the glass surface of the electric plate. The rack only
functions as a support for saucepans or trays when the electric plate is not in use.

which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
7.2 Oven runners
The oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights in
this manual are indicated from the bottom upwards.
7.3 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking
function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which
may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off.
7.4 Internal light
The oven light comes on when any function is selected.
7.5 General warnings and advice for use
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause
hazards.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or
oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it
so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre
of the rack.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in
two stages: keep it half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as
possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the
food.

16
Instructions for the user
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not
be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
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.
To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's lid (where present) must always be raised when
using the oven.
7.6 Using the electric grill (auxiliary oven)
For short cooking procedures, such as final browning of cooked meat, select the static grill function of the
auxiliary oven and turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature setting. The grill element heats
up the oven with a temperature indicatively ranging from a minimum of 50°C and a maximum of 245°C.
The cooking time of the auxiliary oven electric grill must not exceed 30 minutes.
7.7 Using the grill (multifunction ovens)
When the oven has come on (the red indicator light comes on to confirm this), leave it to heat up for 5
minutes before placing foods inside. Foods should be seasoned before cooking.
Foods should also be coated with oil or melted butter
before cooking. Use the oven tray to collect juice.
The foods for cooking must be placed on the oven
shelf, which is then placed on one of the runners fitted
in the various types of ovens, following the guidelines
on the right.
FOODS RUNNER HEIGHT
Flat, thin piece of meat 3
Roller roasts 2 - 3
Poultry 2 - 3
• Grilling processes in the static and multifunction ovens should never last more than 60 minutes.
• In models with electric oven, the oven door must be closed during grill and grill + rotisserie cooking
operations.
• Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill; keep children well away from the
appliance.
• During rotisserie cooking operations, one of the trays supplied with the cooker should be placed on
the bottom of the oven, on the first runner from the bottom, to collect any grease and fat produced.
• During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil, and do not place pans or
trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so

Instructions for the user
8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
BOTTOM:
The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that require a longer basic
cooking time, 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 or thermal radiation 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.
LARGE 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 present) gives the food an even browning
at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling
results even with very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork).
FAN-ASSISTED 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 defrosting and proving functions are brought together under the same
function (see “8.3 Defrosting function” for further details).
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables
different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and same
type of cooking operation. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without
mixing odours and flavours.
(For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th runners.)
FAN-ASSISTED STATIC:
The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even with complex
recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For
multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 2nd and 4th runners.)
DEFROSTING:
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to ensure uniform
distribution of low temperature air inside the oven.

8.1 Cooking advice and instructions
8.1.1 General advice
• We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Place the food in the oven only
once the cooking light is off.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform
cooking at all heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food
could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• 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.
• For rapid preheating use a fan-assisted function, then select the required function.
8.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on
the roast with a spoon: if it is hard it is ready, if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
8.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• 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.
8.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
The defrosting function enables any type of food to be defrosted. To start defrosting, turn the oven
function knob to , then a ventilation system will go into operation to ensure uniform distribution of the
ambient temperature inside the oven.
The defrosting time will depend on the quantity of food to be defrosted.
• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner of the oven.
• The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
• Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
• When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on
it and a tray positioned on the first runner. 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.
8.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill
• Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven; preheating is
recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function , however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before
grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
8.1.6 To save energy
To save energy during use of the appliance, the following instructions may be followed:
• 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.
