Operation
Ceramic-glass hob
This hob consists in a perfectly flat
surface, made of a special material
resistant to high temperatures and to
shocks.
The heating elements are placed under
the ceramic-glass surface, in contact with
it, directly underneath the silk-screened
areas on the hob itself.
This surface, which is perfectly flat, avoids
any risk of the saucepans being upset;
furthermore it allows use of the areas
adjoining the heat sources as dish
warmer areas.
Important: Be very careful when frying
food in hot oil or fat as the overheated
splashes could easily flare up.
Electric oven
The oven is evenly heated throughout.
A fan in the back wall distributes heated
air round the food during cooking so that
everything cooks in the same time
regardless of where it is placed in the
oven or how much is being cooked.
Foods of different types, provided they
require the same cooking temperature,
can be cooked together and there is no
possibility of any flavours or smells being
transmitted from one food to another.
The oven has a removable grill.
Cooking by either oven or grill can be
manual or automatic (without or with the
programmer). This includes a digital clock,
a minute minder and controls by which
the oven can be set to come on and go
off unattended.
Indicator light on the control panel shows
the behaviour of the thermostat during
cooking.
A light comes on inside the oven when it
is switched on and remains on until
the oven goes off.
The grill cannot be used at the same time
as the oven.
6
The grill control provides a variety of heat
settings.
Control Knobs
On.the
control
panel
of
the
oven
there
are
the
knobs
for
the
operation
of
the
four
ceramic-glass
heating
elements.
Programmed heating element (Fig.1)
The front left heating element can be
programmed to switch on and off
automatically at a preset cooking time;
the operations for the programming are
quoted in the paragraph "Electric
programmer”. |
The knob has 7 settings.
The selected temperature is kept constant
through a temperature feeler which
automatically turns the respective heating
element on and off as required.
When
set
on
”max.”,
the
temperature
feeler
is
cut
out
and,
consequently,
the
relevant
heating
element
remains
turned
on
at
peak
power.
Figure 1

Using the oven
As soon as the oven is switched on the fan
starts and runs until the oven control is
switched off again (fig.2).
The food should be put into the oven
before switching on, even when cooking
manually- the speed of heating up is so
fast that there is no need to preheat.
The oven shelves can be fully filled.
Most normal types and materials of cooking
utensils can be used.
During cooking the door should be opened
as little as possible to avoid heat loss and
so excessive electricity consumption.
Figure 2
Cooking manually
When cooking manually ensure that the
programmer is not in operation
_ accidentally.
Arrange the food in the oven, shut the
door and turn the oven control (See Fig. 2)
to the required temperature setting.
When the knob is set to & the oven
temperature light will come on, also an
~ internal oven light.
This setting is NOT a cooking position but
is intended for rapid thawing of frozen
food. |
Positions from 50 °C to MAX are cooking
positions and give a full range of
temperatures. The oven temperature light
will come on until ‘the oven has reached
the correct temperature; after that it will
come on and off showing how the
temperature is being maintained.
Cooking automatically
The oven or grill can cook automatically
when the programmer is set to switch it
on and off at the times given without the
need for anyone to be in attendance.
Most foods cook well automatically but
preference should be given to those which
will not be affected by the waiting period
before the oven comes on.

Automatic timer
The automatic timer makes it possible
for the oven and/or front left hot
plate/heat area to be turned on and off
automatically at the pre-set time.
Furthermore, the timer will show the time
of the day and will also ring a bell at the
end of the cooking cycle.
Operating the automatic timer
The figure 3 shows the control knobs of
the automatic timer. With knobs 1,2 and 3
you can carry out all required adjustments,
as described hereunder.

The oven and/or hot plate/heat area can
also be operated manually .
Turn knob 2 clockwise until the symbol di
coincides with the index of dial 4.

Place the food to be cooked in the oven
and/or on the hot plate/heat area.
Depress knob 3 and turn it clockwise until
the cooking start time appears on dial 5.
Turn knob 2 clockwise and set the
maximum cooking duration (210 mins) on
dial 4.
Turn the thermostat knob and/or the hot
plate/heat area knob, respectively, to the
required temperature.

Important:
When the cooking time has elapsed, turn
knob 2 clockwise until the "OT coincides
with the index on dial 4. Then turn the
control knob to $X or d. |
Turn the thermostat knob and/or hot
plate/heat area knob to ”0”.
Fully automatic operation
Place the food to be cooked in the oven
and/or on the hot plate/heat area.
Turn knob 2 clockwise and set the required
cooking time (max. 210 mins) on dial 4.
Depress knob 3 and turn it clockwise
until the cooking start time appears on
dial 5.
Turn the thermostat knob and/or the hot
plate/heat area knob to the required
temperature.
After completion of the cooking cycle, the
symbol ”0” will coincide with the index
on dial 4. On this setting, the oven and/or
hot plate/heat area are electrically
turned off.
Furthermore, the buzzer reminds you that
the cooking cycle is completed.
To turn off the buzzer, turn knob 2
clockwise until the symbol PX coincides
with the index on dial 4.
How to use the automatic timer
Cooking end time: 19,00 hours;
Cooking duration: 2 hours (120 mins).
Place the food to be cooked in the oven
and/or on the hot plate/heat area.
Turn knob 2 clockwise and set the
cooking duration (120 mins.) on dial 4.
Depress knob 3 and turn it until you set
on dial 5 the cooking start time
(5 o'clock = 17,00 hours).
Turn the thermostat knob and/or the hot
plate/heat area knob to the required
temperature. |
After this, the oven and/or hot plate/heat
area will automatically turn on at 17,00
hours and then at 19,00 hours after
completion of the cooking cycle.
Minute minder
Turn knob 2 clockwise and set the
selected time (max. 210 mins.) on dial 4.
To turn off the buzzer, turn knob
2 until the symbol PX coincides with the
index of dial 4.
Note: `
There is no difference between automatic
cooking and normal cooking inasmuch as
the function of the automatic timer is to
control the selected cooking time while
you are absent or engaged in other
activities. ` ` ,
Therefore, completely automatic cooking
is most suitable for foods or dishes that
require no special care.
The cooking start time can be pre-set up
to a maximum of 12 hours in advance.

Using the grill
As with the oven the grill control (see
Fig.4) can be set to a number of different
heat settings.
At MAX the thermostat controlling the
heat does not operate and the element
stays on continuously to give the highest
heat possible.
Foods to be grilled are placed on the wire
grid in the grill pan, which can be curved
either upwards or downwards to give the
required distance from the element.
The pan is then put into the third runner
position, counting from the bottom of the
oven upwards.
