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 sat on it.
Important Note:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches
the element ON/OFF during all the 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.
Fig. 11
3 Circuit Radiant Zones
Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig. 12) you can control and
light up all 3 together or separately by selecting from the 6
positions on the control knob (fig. 11).
The working temperature required is reached in a very short
time.
Fig. 12
10
Double and Oval Radiant Zones
The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material
which reaches the working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous
energy regulator from “1” to “12” (maximum temperature)
(fig. 13).
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 remain at the highest heat setting.
To return to using only the inner zone of the double
element, first turn the knob to the (off) position (you should
feel a click) and then clockwise to a setting from 1 to 12.

Residual Heat Indicator
The hob also features 5 warning lights which are connected to the corresponding 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 plate 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 touching 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 cooking plate falls below
60°C.
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 can set the control knob to the position
required for cooking.
– You should only use pots and pans with flat bases (pans
with the test mark for glass-ceramic 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 will 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.
Fig. 17
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.
– Do Not Use Glassware on Ceramic
Hobs.
– Do Not Use Pans with Rough
Circular Machined Base.
Deep Fat Frying
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more
than one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan
unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and
turn off the control knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30minutes before moving the
pan.

DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
13
Safety Hints:
– Before you switch the hob on, make sure you know which knob controls the required cooking plate. We
advise you to set the pan over the cooking plate before switching it on. Remove the pan after you have
switched the cooking plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-iron). Rough
bases can damage (scratch) the glass surface of the hob.
Make sure that the bottom of the pan is dry and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully remove any food debris (especially
containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
– 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.
– Do not use the hob if the glass surface is broken or cracked in any way. Please disconnect the
hob from the mains and contact the after-sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate when in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when it is hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot for a long time (about 30 min.) after the cooking plate has
been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
Cleaning the Hob
Before you begin cleaning make sure that the appliance is switched off.
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 damage the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic,
aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have melted on the ceramic surface,
you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot)
by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface
of the hob. (Available under part No. 103138).
Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils since these can damage
the ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch
the surface permanently.
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.

How to Use the Multifunction Main Oven
General Features
Attention:
The oven door
becomes very hot
during operation.
As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from
an operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different programmes to satisfy every
cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating
elements which are:
– Bottom element
– Top element
– Grill element
1200 W

and
, to
Clean the oven and accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the hot heating element
inside the oven cavity.
Operating Principles
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven muffle, which sends it through the circular heating element
and then sends it back through the muffle. Before the hot air is sucked back again by the fan to repeat
the described cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.
c. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the
fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.
e. by radiation and ventilation
The irradiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

Cooking Advice
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 185 °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 135 °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.
Simultaneous Cooking of Different Foods
The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on position
and
gives a simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of
different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the
smells and flavors together. 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 precaution 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.
Grilling and “Au Gratin”
Grilling may be done without the roasting jack on position
completely envelops the food that is to be cooked.
of the switch, because the hot air
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on
the rack.
Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on position 175 °C, until grilling is done.
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.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
19
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.
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.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
