3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
3.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 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 working 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.
Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to 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 electrical
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
The appliance has 4 cooking zones of various diameters and power
levels. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and heat is released
within the diameters traced on the glass ceramic surface. The 4 cooking
zones are HIGH-LIGHT zones and come on a few seconds after
activation. The heat intensity can be adjusted using the knobs located
on the front panel from a minimum to a maximum value.
The cooking zones indicated by two concentric circles and by a circle
+ fish kettle allow double heating, either within the inner circle or in
both circles.
The four indicator lights located between the cooking zones come on
when the temperature of one or more of the radiating zones exceeds
60°C. These lights switch off when the temperature falls below
approximately 60°C.
When the hob is used for the first time, you are advised to heat it to the maximum temperature long
enough to burn off any oily residues from manufacturing in order to ensure that the food does not absorb
odours.
For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable
for electric cooking:
• The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean
and dry. The hob must also be clean and dry.
• Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as
they may scratch the cooking surface.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the
diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be
wasted.
Take care not to spill sugar or sugar mixtures on the hob when it is hot. Do not
place materials or substances that could melt on the hob (plastic or aluminium
foil). If melting does occur, in order to avoid compromising the condition of the hob
surface, immediately switch it off and remove the melted material using the
scraper provided, while the hob is still warm. Failure to clean the glass ceramic
hob straight away could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove
once the hob has cooled down.
Important
Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual heat indicator lights on the hob. The
cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off.
Make sure that children do not touch the hob at any time.

Instructions for the user
7. USING THE OVEN
7.1 Before using the appliance
• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking
compartment.
• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories
such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and
wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing
residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
7.2 Oven runners
The oven features 5 runners for positioning
trays and racks at different heights. The
insertion heights are indicated from the
bottom upwards (see figure).
models with frames models with guides
7.3 Storage compartment (on some models only)
The storage compartment is in the bottom of
the cooker. It provides storage space for the
appliance’s metal accessories and must not
be used to store flammable materials, cloths,
paper etc.
Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may
be very high.
7.4 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.

15
Instructions for the user
7.5 Internal light
The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected.
7.6 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.
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.
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing
residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

Instructions for the user
8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
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.
BOTTOM:
The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that
require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
FAN-ASSISTED 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). We recommend using the 4th runner.
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.
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, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th runners.)
DEFROSTING:
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of air
inside the oven. (We recommend using the 1st or 2nd runner).

Instructions for the user
8.1 Cooking advice and instructions
8.1.1 General advice
• We recommend preheating the oven before putting 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 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 duration 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
• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first shelf 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.

9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not use steam jets for cleaning the appliance. The steam could reach the electronics,
damaging them and causing short-circuits.
WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves while performing any
cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.
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).
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.
9.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.
9.2 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain
abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a
soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
9.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they
might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Instructions for the user
9.4 Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
The glass ceramic hob should be regularly cleaned, preferably after every use, once the symbol
has disappeared from all displays.
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.
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-
removers and wire sponges).
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can scratch the hob when
moving saucepans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour do not affect the functioning and stability of the glass ceramic. 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 saucepans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the
surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. These are difficult to remove with ordinary cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Using aggressive
detergents, or friction with the base of saucepans, can wear away the decoration on the hob over time
and contribute to the formation of dark marks.
9.5 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 easily removed.
After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking
surface as it will undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the
cooking surface.

Instructions for the user
9.6 Cleaning the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having
allowed it to cool.
• Take out all removable parts.
• Clean the oven racks with warm water and non-
abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
• For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see
“10.2 Removing the door”).
The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes after use of specific
products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.
When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.
9.6.1 Removing guide frames (where present)
Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be
cleaned more easily. This should be done each time the
automatic cleaning cycle is used (on some models only).
To remove the guide frames:
1 pull the frame towards the inside of the oven to unhook
it from its housing A, then slide it out of the seats at the
back B.
2 When cleaning is complete, repeat the above
procedures to put the guide frames back in.
9.6.2 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll; remove
stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents to clean the oven door glass panels (e.g. powder products,
spot-removers and wire sponges). Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven's glass doors since they may scratch the surface.
9.6.3 Cleaning the door seal
To keep the seal clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and lukewarm water. The seal should be soft and
flexible (with the exception of pyrolitic models).
In pyrolitic models, the seal may flatten over time and lose its original shape. To restore it, pinch the seal
all the way along. This also helps remove any dirt on the seal.

Instructions for the user
10. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The oven requires periodic minor maintenance or replacement of parts subject to wear, such as gaskets,
light bulbs, etc. Specific instructions for each operation of this kind are given below.
Before any intervention that requires access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves while performing any
cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.
10.1 Replacing the light bulb
If a light bulb needs to be replaced because it is worn
or burnt out, remove the guide frames; see “9.6.1
Removing guide frames (where present)”.
Then remove the bulb cover using a tool (e.g. a
screwdriver).
Remove the bulb by unscrewing (filament bulbs) or
pulling it out (halogen bulbs) in the indicated direction.
Replace the bulb with one of the same type (25W for
filament bulbs or 40W for halogen bulbs).
Do not touch halogen bulbs directly with your fingers, wrap them in insulating material.
10.2 Removing the door
Open the door completely.
Insert a pin into the hole in the
hinge. Repeat for both hinges.
Grasp the door on both sides
with both hands, lift it forming an
angle of around 30° and remove it.
To reassemble the door, put the
hinges in the relevant slots in the
oven, making sure that grooved
sections C are resting completely
at the base of the slots. Lower
the door and once it is in place
remove the pins from the holes in
the hinges.
