Attention:  
Detach the appliance from the mains if the ceramic glass is cracked and contact the After-  
Sales Service.  
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob  
surface since they can get hot.  
19  
HOW TO USE THE VITROCERAMIC HOB  
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction,  
from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it.  
The heat does not spread in a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a  
few centimeters from the cooking plate.  
The cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.  
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.  
Important note:  
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF du-  
ring all settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.  
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter  
to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.  
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a  
fault with the appliance.  
“HI-LIGHT” SINGLE ZONES (fig. 23)  
The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working  
temperature quickly.  
These zones are controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (fig. 22). The heat  
intensity can be regulated continuously from “0” to “12” (max).  
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob.  
When the hob is working, the power on indicator light will be on.  
Figure 23  
Figure 22  
20  
“HI-LIGHT” DOUBLE ZONES (figs. 25, 26)  
The heating element is formed of 2 coils of resistant material which reaches the wor-  
king temperature quickly.  
This zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (fig. 24). The heat  
intensity can be regulated continuously from “0” to “12” (max).  
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob.  
When the hob is working, the power on indicator light will be on.  
To turn on both zones of the double element, turn the double element knob fully  
clockwise to the position  
.
To reduce the heat of the full double element, turn its knob anticlockwise to setting “12”  
or lower. Adjust the heat during cooking as necessary.  
Note: if you leave the knob at the  
position, the full double element will re-  
main at the highest heat setting.  
Figure 24  
To return to using only the inner zone of  
the double element, first turn the knob  
to the “0“ (off) position (you should feel  
a click) and then clockwise to a setting  
from “1” to “12”.

SAFETY HINTS  
1. Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when the hob is hot.  
2. Make sure that the hob is clean before you use it.  
3. Always ensure that the base of your saucepan is clean and dry before placing on the  
hob.  
4. The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully eliminate any food re-  
mains (especially containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.  
5. Remember that the plates will remain hot for approximately half an hour after the plate  
has been switched off.  
6. Before you switch the hob on, make sure that you know which knob controls the re-  
quired hot plate. We advise you to set the pan over the cooking plate before switching  
it on.  
7. Pan handles should never stand out beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is a great  
danger of knocking the pan over. This will also ensure that children cannot reach them.  
8. Do not use pots and pans with rough bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-  
iron). Rough bases can damage the glass surface of the hob (scratches).  
9. Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob.  
10. DO NOT use the hob if the glass surface is broken or cracked in any way.  
Please disconnect the appliance from the mains and call the After-Sales Service.  
11. Do not lean over the cooking plate when in use.  
12. Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.  
13. Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.  
14. Never use the glass surface for storage.  
WARNING:  
HOBS BECOME VERY HOT WITH USE, AND RETAIN THEIR HEAT FOR A LONG  
TIME AFTER COOKING HAS FINISHED. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED  
AT ALL TIMES AND BE PREVENTED FROM TOUCHING THE HOT SURFACES  
UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

Figure 29  
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS  
The hob also features no. 6 (six) warning  
lights which are connected to the corre-  
sponding plates.  
When the temperature of a cooking plate is  
above 60°C, the relevant warning light will  
also light up to warn of heat on the surface  
of the hob.  
This light also stay on after the cooking pla-  
te has been switched off to show that the  
hob surface is still hot.  
This residual heat will lasts for a long time  
after the cooking plate has been switched off.  
During this time you should avoid tou-  
ching the hob surface over the cooking  
area.  
Please pay special attention to ensure  
that children are not allowed near the  
hob.  
The light will switch off automatically as  
soon as the surface temperature of the co-  
oking plate falls below 60°C.  
Caution!  
The cooking hob becomes very hot  
during operation.  
Keep children well out of reach.  
COOKING HINTS  
To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch  
the plate on.  
After a short time you will set the control knob to the required position for the cooking.  
You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass cera-  
mic hobs are available from specialist shops).  
The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger)  
to make the most of the energy.  
Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched  
off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.  
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.  
To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.  
Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans  
or containers.  
Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects. Do not use the glass  
ceramic surface as a work surface.

ECONOMIC COOKING  
The ceramic glass retains heat, so you may find that you can switch off the heat 5  
minutes before you finish cooking.  
To reduce the cooking time, the plate can be set to the maximum setting at the begin-  
ning. It can then be reduced later.  
24  
COOKWARE:  
It is very important that the pans used on the hobs are made of a suitable material and have  
the correct base as follows:  
The base should be flat and smooth.  
Any rough part on the pan base could scratch the hob surface.  
Choose pans which are the same size as the hotplates and with bases that are as non  
reflective as possible. eg. dull and dark.  
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.  
Pans made of the following materials can cause problems:  
Cast Iron  
The base may be rough which will scratch the hob.  
Toughened Glass  
If the pans become too hot, the hob may overheat causing  
the safety cut out to operate too frequently thus reducing the  
cooking efficiency.

COOKING WITH FAN ASSISTED OVEN  
OPERATING PRINCIPLES  
Attention: The oven door becomes  
very hot during operation.  
Keep children away.  
Heating and cooking in the fan assisted  
oven are obtained in the following ways:  
a. by normal convection  
The heat is produced by the upper and  
lower heating elements.  
GENERAL FEATURES  
As its name indicates, this is an oven that  
presents particular features from an opera-  
tional point of view.  
In fact, it is possible to insert 4 different pro-  
grams to satisfy every cooking need.  
The 4 positions, thermostatically control-  
led, are obtained by 4 heating elements  
which are:  
b. by semi-forced convection  
The heat produced by the upper and  
lower heating elements is distributed  
throughout the oven by the fan.  
c. by radiation  
The heat is irradiated by the infra red  
grill element.  
Bottom element  
Top element  
2050 W  
1250 W  
2200 W  
d. by radiation and ventilation  
The irradiated heat from the infra red  
grill element is distributed throughout  
the oven by the fan.  
Grill element  
e. by ventilation  
The food is defrosted by using the fan  
only function without heat.  
WARNING:  
The door is hot, use the handle.  
During use the appliance becomes  
hot. Care should be taken to avoid  
touching heating elements inside the  
oven.

THERMOSTAT KNOB  
To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required po-  
sition and the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.  
To set the temperature, turn the thermostat control knob indicator mark to the required  
temperature.  
The elements will turn on or off automatically which is determined by the thermostat.  
The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light placed above the knob.  
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB  
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions:  
OVEN LIGHT  
By turning the knob onto this setting we light the oven cavity.  
The oven remains alight while any of the functions is on.  
TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING  
The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural con-  
vection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position  
with the thermostat knob.  
It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.  
Recommended for:  
For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i. e.  
roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.  
27  
CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION  
The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.  
The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.  
The temperature must be regulated between 50°C and the maximum position with the ther-  
mostat knob.  
Recommended for:  
For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external  
degree of cooking; for ie: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.  
DEFROST  
With the thermostat knob on “0” only the oven fan is on.  
The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.  
Recommended for:  
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.  
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.  
VENTILATED GRILL COOKING  
The infra-red grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then  
distributes it throughout the oven.  
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob must be regulated between 50°C  
and 200°C maximum.  
It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.  
For correct use see chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN”.  
Always grill with the oven door closed.  
Recommended for:  
For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal  
steak, steak, hamburger, etc.  
GRILLING  
The infra-red heating element is switched on.  
The heat is diffused by radiation.  
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to position 225 °C for max 15  
minutes, then to position 175 °C.  
For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.  
Always grill with the oven door closed.  
Recommended for:  
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.  
28  
COOKING ADVICE  
The external parts of the appliance become hot during operation.  
Keep children well out of reach.  
OVEN COOKING  
To cook, before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.  
When the oven has reached the desired temperature, introduce the food, control the cooking  
time and tum off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat.  
STERILIZATION  
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the  
following way:  
a. Set the switch to position  
.
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 175 °C and preheat the oven.  
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.  
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door  
and set the thermostat knob to position 130 °C.  
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off  
the oven and let cool.  
REGENERATION  
Set the switch to position  
and the thermostat knob to position 150° C.  
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for  
about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.  
ROASTING  
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:  
that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C.  
that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.  
COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME  
The fan assisted oven set on position  
gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of  
different foods.  
Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the  
smells and flavours.  
This is possible since the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical  
element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.  
The only precautions to follow are:  
The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with  
a maximum difference of 20° - 25 °C.  
The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in  
relation to the cooking times of each one.  
The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.  
29  
USE OF THE GRILL  
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.  
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.  
The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.  
Grilling with the oven door closed.  
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.  
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.  
GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”  
Grilling may be done using the grill+fan setting  
, in this setting the hot air completely  
surrounds the food that is to be cooked, to give a more even and rapid cooking process.  
Set the temperature knob between 50°C and 200°C maximum, preheat the oven, then  
simply place the food on the grid.  
Close the door until grilling is complete.  
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin”  
effect.  
Grilling with the oven door closed.  
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.  
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

enamelled parts.  
Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.  
Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.  
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus  
make it unsafe.  
Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when  
handling or cleaning of this appliance.  
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven  
door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of  
the glass.  
WARNING!  
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for  
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the rear  
or the underneath of the appliance as these areas are not designed or intended to be  
touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.  
ENAMELLED PARTS  
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water or other non-  
abrasive products.  
Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.  
Acidic substances like lemon juice, tomato sauce, vinegar etc. can damage the enamel if  
left too long.  
STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINIUM PARTS, PAINTED AND SILK-SCREEN PRIN-  
TED SURFACES  
Clean using an appropriate product.  
Always dry thoroughly.  
IMPORTANT: these parts must be cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching and abrasion.  
You are advised to use a soft cloth and neutral soap.  
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive substances or non-neutral detergents as these will  
irreparably damage the surface.  
36  
Figure 40  
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB  
Remove spillages and other types of  
incrustations.  
Dust or food particles can be removed  
with a damp cloth.  
If you use a detergent, please make  
sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.  
Abrasive or scouring powders can da-  
mage the glass surface of the hob.  
All traces of the cleaner must be remo-  
ved with a damp cloth.  
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has  
boiled over must be removed as soon  
as possible.  
If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.  
This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could perma-  
nently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.  
Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic objects,  
aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.  
If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it  
immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using the scraper supplied with the ap-  
pliance to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.  
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.  
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface perma-  
nently.  
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT!  
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special scraper tool take extra care to  
avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.  
INSIDE OF OVEN  
The oven should always be cleaned after use when it has cooled down.  
The cavity should be cleaned using a mild detergent solution and warm water.  
Suitable proprietary chemical cleaners may be used after first consulting with the manufac-  
turers recommendations and testing a small sample of the oven cavity.  
Abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads/cloths should not be used on the cavity surface.  
NOTE: The manufacturers of this appliance will accept no responsibility for damage cau-  
sed by chemical or abrasive cleaning.  
Do not store flammable material in the oven.  
Let the oven cool down and pay special attention no to touch the hot heating ele-  
ments inside the oven cavity.  
37  
GRILL HEATING ELEMENT  
The heating element is self-cleaning and does not require maintenance.  
GREASE FILTER  
Clean the filter after any cooking!  
The grease filter can be removed for cleaning and should be washed regularly in hot soapy  
water (fig. 19 at page 17). Always dry the filter properly before fitting it back into the oven.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE INNER DOOR GLASS PANE FOR CLEANING  
If you wish to clean the inner glass of the door, make sure you follow the precautions and  
instructions very carefully.  
Replacing the glass pane and the door incorrectly may result in damage to the appliance  
and may void your warranty.  
IMPORTANT!  
Take care, the oven door is heavy. If you have any doubts, do not attempt to remove  
the door.  
Make sure the oven and all its parts have cooled down. Do not attempt to handle the  
parts of a hot oven.  
The internal glass panel can be easily removed for cleaning by unscrewing the 4 re-  
taining screws (fig. 44).  
Take extreme care when handling the glass pane. Avoid the edges of the glass bum-  
ping against any surface. This may result in the glass shattering.  
CAUTION:  
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door  
glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.  
If you notice any sign of damage on any of the glass panes (such as chipping, or  
cracks), do not use the oven. Call your Authorised Service Centre or Customer Care.
