HowTo UseYour Appliance
The various functions included in the cooker are selected by
Grill
operating the control devices located on the cooker control
panel.
The top centre 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.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air.The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Double Grill
Both of the top heating elements turn on.
This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in
the corners of the oven.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using
the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of
cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything
on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because
this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware
(dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with
the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.
Oven Light
The light comes on when the “L” knob is turned to the X
setting.The light illuminates the oven and remains on when
any of the heating elements is turned on.
Thermostat Light (O)
This light indicates that the oven is heating.When it turns off, the
temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made with
the thermostat knob.At this point, the light will turn on and off as
the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.
N.B.: Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic
programmer, to use the electric oven, just press buttons
and
at the same time (the m symbol will appear
on the display) before selecting the desired cooking
function.

Cooking advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
Pastry is too dry
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-
sonal experience.
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Using the Grill
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
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 oven control knob (L) in a clockwise direction
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
to align the symbols (
for the centre,
for the com-
plete area) with the mark on the control panel.The variable
temperature control (M) is positioned to right of the oven
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.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
To operate the grill
The pastry sticks to the pan
1. Turn the oven control knob (L) 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 control (M) can now be operated to
select the required heat.
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
I used more than one level and they are not all at
the same cooking point
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must
be left partly open.
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
When using the grill, place the rack at the 4 rack heights
(see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath
the oven rack to prevent grease from falling onto the bot-
tom of the oven.
Cooking fish and meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time should
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.
Baking Pastries
When baking pastries, always place them in the oven af-
ter it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the
oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red “O” light will
turn off). The temperature is normally around 160°C. Do
not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to
prevent it from dropping. Batters must not be too runny,
as this will result in prolonged cooking times. In general:

User’s instructions the ceramic hob
Description
Instructions for using the pyroceram top
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 (A).
B. A lights which indicate whether the corresponding
heaters are at a temperature in excess of 60° C; even
if the hob/zone has been switched off.
To obtain the best results from your hob, there are some
basic rules to follow when cooking or preparing food.
· All types of pots and pans may be used on the ceramic
glass cooktop. However, the bottom surface must be
perfectly flat. Naturally, the thicker the bottom of the
pot or pan, the more uniformly the heat is distributed.
· Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers
the cooking ring, so as to make full use of the heat
produced

· Always make sure that the pan base is always dry and
clean so as to guarantee proper contact as well as
longer-lasting pans and the long life-span of the hob.
· Do not use the same pans which are used for cooking
on gas burners.The heat strength of gas burners may
deform the pan base and will not give the same results
if it is subsequently used on a glazed ceramic hob.
Description of the heating elements
The radiant heating elements are composed of circular
heating elements.They only become red after being turned
on for 10-20 seconds.
Pratical advice for using the electric plates
The cook-top electric plate control knobs (N)
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast and
automatic electric plates in various combinations (the fast
plates distinguished from the others by a red dot in the
centre, the automatic ones by a round aluminium disk at
the centre.
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms in
diameters which are not smaller than the plate diameter.
