Start-up and use
Oven light
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.
GB
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long
as the oven is operating. By selecting
with the
knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.
Cooling ventilation*
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that
blows out air between the control panel and the oven
door.
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
Starting the oven
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling
fan remains on until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol
the fan and oven light
Using the cooking timer*
will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen
food. Rotating further to the complete range of
temperatures shown on the dial you can choose
which is most suitable for the food you are going to
cook (fan assisted mode). The temperature is
reached automatically and controlled by the oven
thermostat (from 60°C to 240°C).
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING
TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking
VARIABLE GRILL knob must be set with “MAX” in
line with the reference mark on the control panel.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be
used as a normal timer.
Grill
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the 9
symbol.
The top heating element will come on. On this
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation
given off in the downward direction by the electric
heating element. The very high temperature and
direct heat of the grill make it possible to brown
meats on the surface while locking in the juices to
keep them tender.
Using the grill pan kit
Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into
the small recess (fig. 1), tilt it upwards and slide it
towards the centre (fig. 2).
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating
heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven
reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately,
indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
* Only on certain models

Cooking advice
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan
should be used at a time. The rack or pan should be
inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on
whether the food needs more heat from the top or
bottom.
GB
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally
required for leavened foods), we recommend using
the "conventional" oven feature which makes it
possible to reach the temperature desired in a very
short time. After the oven has been preheated, the
thermostat light will turn off. At this point, you can
select the most suitable setting to cook the dish.
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
Cooking :ish and Meat
I used more than one level and they are not all at
the same cooking point
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it
from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and
fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). ꢀor
red meat that should be well done on the outside
while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea
to start with a high temperature setting
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Using the Grill
(200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven
down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the
lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the
centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it
to catch the fat.
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be
selected by turning the SELECTOR knob in a
clockwise direction to align the symbols
with
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the
centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the
amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights.

the mark on the control panel. The VARIABLE GRILL
knob is positioned to right of the SELECTOR knob.
This knob will provide varying grill temperatures
when rotated from “max” to “min” and may be
adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during
the grilling operation.
Cooking Pastries
To operate the grill
Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do
not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from
dropping.
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on
the control panel. The element is now “on”.
2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated
to select the required heat.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that
the cooking time is not excessive. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower
levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat
and prevent smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom
rack level.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Cooking zones
Practical advice on using the hob
• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that
they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
The hobs have been provided with radiant electric
heaters. These heaters are incorporated under the
surface of the hob as zones which redden while they
are in use.
A. Cooking area

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the heat produced.
B. The residual heat indicator
light: this indicates that the
temperature of the

A
B
corresponding cooking zone
is greater than 60°C, even when the heating element
has been switched off but is still hot.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the
pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and
that both the pans and the hob last for a longer
period of time.
Cooking zones with heating elements
The radiant heating elements are composed of
circular heating elements. They only become red
after being turned on for 10-20 seconds.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on
gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone
to become damaged.
! Do not stare directly at the halogen heating elements.
Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise
direction, to a position between 1 and 6.

Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• Make sure that the power supply cables of other electrical
appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of
the oven.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using the
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
• The openings used for the ventilation and dispersion of heat
must never be covered.
• Do not place unstable or misshapen pans on the electric
hotplates; this will help to avoid spills. Position them on the
hob with the handles turned towards the centre of the
appliance.
• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the
oven or when removing it.
• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...) near the
appliance while it is in use.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public
waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas
in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation,
they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange
deal for a new equivalent product.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, it could catch fire.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of systems for
the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the ‘0’ position when the
appliance is not in use.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from
the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity
mains.
• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity
supply network companies by using the oven in the hours
between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
• If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances
should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact Assistance.
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to
ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly
to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
GB
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example,
products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens),
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or
sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the
surface beyond repair.
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using
a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen
roll.
• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and
dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable
scraper (this is not supplied with the appliance).
Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting
for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming
crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by
using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically
designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in
soapy water.
• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts
and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and
dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned
after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally
been melted on the hob, remove them immediately
with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This
maintenance should be carried out while the
appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control
panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After
cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any
remaining drops of water should also be dried.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.
Inspecting the oven seals
Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the
seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-
sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is
not used until the seals have been replaced.
