Using the hob

All the appliance’s control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner ignites. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.

The burner may go out when the knob is released: In this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation. Keep the knob pressed in longer.

Note: In case of an accidental switching off, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas cock is open. Return the knob to and wait at least 60 seconds before lighting it again.

Correct positioning of the flamespreader crowns and burner caps

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their seats with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes 1 of the flame-spreader crowns are aligned with the thermocouples 2 and igniters 3.

Practical tips for using the hob

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over.

Note: Cookware diameters:

• AUX: 12 - 14 cm.
• SR: 16 - 24 cm.
• R: 18 - 26 cm.
• DUAL: 18 - 28 cm.

Correct positioning of the hob grids

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the grids are correctly positioned on the hob.

Bear in mind that:

• Each grid has its own position on the hob.
• The raised section must always face the appliance's upstand.
  
• The left-hand (A) and right-hand (C) grids have one thicker edge which must be turned to face the side of the appliance.
• The edges of the centre grid (B) are of the same thickness.

Functions list

Eco

This function is particularly suitable for cooking on a single shelf with low energy consumption.
Ideal for cooking meat, fish and vegetables. It is not recommended for leavened foods.
To obtain maximum energy savings and reduce cooking times, it is recommended to place food in the oven without preheating.

Note: When using the ECO function, avoid opening the door during cooking.

Important: Cooking (and preheating) times are longer with the ECO function.

Static

As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes, and in any case, particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.

Grill

The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (where fitted), gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, spare ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

Lower element

The heat coming just from the bottom allows you to complete the cooking of foods that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.

Fan assisted

The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures consistent cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th shelf).

Fan with grill

The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork).

Fan + lower element

The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.

Circulaire

The combination of the fan and the circulaire heating element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows you to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and type of cooking. Hot air circulation ensures instant and even distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without odours and flavours mingling.

Turbo

The combination of fan assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without odours and flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking.

Cooking advice

General advice

• Use a fan assisted function to achieve consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• The weight being equal, the cooking time for cut pieces is lower than the cooking time for whole pieces.

Advice for cooking meat

• Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

Advice for cooking with the Grill

• Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
• With the Fan with grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits

• Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• In the case of multiple-level cooking, position the food preferably on the 2nd and 4th shelves, increase the cooking time by a few minutes and use only fanassisted functions.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: At the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
• The cooking times for meringues and profiteroles vary according to size.

Advice for defrosting and proving

• Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
• Fruit and bread, if divided into pieces, take the same time to thaw, irrespective of the quantity and the total weight.
• The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

To save energy

• Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.
• (Where fitted) When it is not being used, remove the pizza plate from the bottom of the oven.

Manual deactivation of the door lock lever (pyrolytic models only)

Caution: Improper use - Danger of burns

• The following operations must always be performed with the appliance cold and switched off.
• Never attempt to manually deactivate the door lock lever during a pyrolytic cycle.

The door lock lever is located in the first slot on the left under the control panel, in the upper part of the front of the oven.

During normal cleaning operations, it is possible to accidentally activate the door lock lever.

1. Move the door lock lever to the right until it stops.
   
2. Gently release the door lock lever.
   The mechanism’s spring will return the door lock lever to the deactivated position.
   To prevent damage to the mechanism, never attempt to deactivate the door lock lever by forcing it to the left.
   

Cleaning the top section (not on pyrolytic models)

The oven cavity is fitted with a tilting heating element which facilitates cleaning the top part (roof) of the oven.

1. Free the upper heating element by gently lifting it and rotating its retainers by 90 degrees.
   
2. Gently lower the heating element until it stops.
   
   Caution: Improper use - Risk of damage to the appliance
   Do not excessively flex the element during cleaning.
3. When you have finished cleaning, place the heating element back in position and turn the retainers to lock it in place again.

Vapor Clean (on some models only)

Important: Vapor Clean is an assisted cleaning procedure which facilitates the removal of dirt. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very easily. The dirt residues are softened by the heat and water vapour for easier removal afterwards.

Caution: Improper use - Risk of damage to surfaces

• Remove any food residues or large spills from previous cooking operations from the inside of the oven.
• Carry out assisted oven cleaning operations only when the oven is cold.

Preliminary operations

Before starting the Vapor Clean function:

• Completely remove all accessories from inside the oven.
• Remove the rack/tray support frames.
• Detach removable guides, where fitted.
• Close the door.
• Pour approximately 40 cc of water into the tray. Make sure it does not overflow out of the cavity.
  
• Spray a water and washing up liquid solution inside the oven using a spray nozzle. Direct the spray against the side walls, upwards, downwards and towards the deflector.
  
• Close the door.

Note: We recommend spraying approx. 20 times at the most.

Vapor Clean cycle setting

Important: If the internal temperature is greater than that required for the Vapor Clean cycle, the cycle will be stopped immediately and the message will appear on the display. Let the appliance cool down before activating the assisted cleaning cycle.

1. Press and turn the function knob to select the Vapor Clean function . The duration and temperature of the cleaning cycle will appear on the display.
   
   Note: The temperature and time parameters cannot be modified by the user.
2. Press the function knob to start the automatic cleaning cycle.

Programmed Vapor Clean cycle

Like for the normal cooking functions, it is also possible to set an end time for the Vapor Clean function.

1. After selecting the Vapor Clean function, press the temperature knob. The indicator light starts flashing. The display shows the function end time.
   
2. Turn the temperature knob right or left to delay the cooking end time.

At the end, is displayed and a buzzer sounds.

1. To deactivate the buzzer, press or turn one of the two knobs or open the door.
2. Press and hold the function knob for at least 3 seconds to exit the function.
3. Open the door and wipe away the less stubborn dirt with a microfibre cloth.
4. Use a non-scratch sponge with brass filaments on hard to remove deposits.
5. In case of grease residues use specific oven cleaning products.
6. Remove the residual water inside the oven.

For improved hygiene and to avoid food being affected by any unpleasant odours, we recommend that the oven is dried using a fan-assisted function at 160°C for approximately 10 minutes.

Note: We recommend wearing rubber gloves for these operations.

Note: We recommend removing the door in order to make the manual cleaning of the parts that are difficult to reach easier.

Pyrolytic (on some models only)

Important: Pyrolytic cleaning is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very easily.

Caution: Improper use - Risk of damage to surfaces

• Remove any food residues or large spills from previous cooking operations from the inside of the oven.

Preliminary operations

Before starting the pyrolytic cycle:

• Clean the internal glass pane following the usual cleaning instructions.
• For very stubborn encrustations spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass (read the warnings on the product); leave for 60 minutes, then rinse and dry the glass using kitchen roll or a microfibre cloth.
• Completely remove all accessories from inside the oven.
• Remove the rack/tray support frames.
• Detach removable guides, where fitted.
• Close the door.

Pyrolytic function setting

1. Select one of the cleaning functions or with the function knob.
2. Turn the temperature knob to the right or to the left to set the cleaning cycle duration from a minimum of 2 hours to a maximum of 3 hours (except for the function whose duration is 120 minutes).
3. Press the temperature knob to start the pyrolytic cycle.

Note: Recommended pyrolytic cycle duration:

• Light dirt: 2 hours.
• Medium dirt: 2 ½ hours.
• Heavy dirt: 3 hours.

Pyrolytic cycle

1. The display shows or and the remaining time to indicate that the appliance is carrying out the automatic cleaning cycle.
2. Two minutes after the pyrolytic cycle has started the door is locked (the door lock indicator light comes on) by a device that prevents the door from being opened.
   Important: It is not possible to select any function once the door lock device has been activated.
3. At the end of the pyrolytic cycle, the door remains locked as long as the temperature inside the oven cavity returns to safety levels. Wait for the oven to cool down and collect the residue deposited inside it using a damp microfibre cloth.

Important: During the first pyrolytic cycle, unpleasant odours may occur due to the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely normal phenomenon which disappears after the first pyrolytic cycle.

Important: During the pyrolytic cycle the fans produce a more intense level of noise due to a greater rotation speed. This is an absolutely normal operation, intended to provide more effective heat dispersal. At the end of the pyrolytic cycle, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven.

Note: If the pyrolytic cycle gives unsatisfactory results at minimum duration, it is recommended to set a longer time for successive cleaning cycles.

Setting of programmed pyrolytic cycle

It is possible to program the pyrolytic cycle start time like all other cooking functions.

1. After selecting the pyrolytic cycle duration, press the temperature knob. The display shows the current time and the indicator light comes on.
2. Turn the temperature knob to set the time at which you wish to complete the pyrolytic cycle.
3. After a few seconds, the and indicator lights will turn on steadily and the appliance will now wait for the set start time to start the cleaning cycle.

Important: It is not possible to select any function once the door lock device has been activated.

Extraordinary maintenance

Replacing the internal light bulb

Caution: Live parts - Danger of electrocution

• Unplug the appliance.

Note: The oven is fitted with a 40W light bulb.

1. Completely remove all accessories from inside the oven.
2. Remove the rack/tray support frames.
3. Remove the bulb cover using a tool (e.g. a screwdriver).
   Note: Pay attention not to scratch the oven cavity enamel.
   
4. Slide out and remove the light bulb.
   
   Note: Do not touch the halogen light bulb directly with your fingers, but wrap it in insulating material.
5. Fit the new light bulb.
6. Refit the cover. Ensure the moulded part of the glass (A) is facing the door.
   
7. Press the cover completely down so that it attaches perfectly to the bulb support.

Removing and installing the door seal (not on pyrolytic models)

To remove the seal:

• Unhook the clips located in the 4 corners and in the centre, then pull the seal outwards.

To refit the seal:

• Hook the clips located in the 4 corners and in the centre onto the seal.

Seal maintenance tips

The seal should be soft and elastic.

• To keep the seal clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and wash with lukewarm water.

Troubleshooting

The appliance is not working properly:

• The switch is defective: check the fuse box to see whether the switch is in working order.
• Loss of power: check that the appliance indicator lights are operational.

The gas burner does not light:

• Loss of power or moisture in the igniters: light the gas burner with a lighter or match.

The oven does not heat up:

• Defective fuse: check and replace the switch if necessary.
• The function knob has not been set: set the function knob.
• Check whether it has been set to “showroom” mode (for further details see “Secondary menu”).

All food prepared in the oven burns within a short time:

• Defective thermostat: contact an Authorised Service Centre

The door glass mists up when the oven is hot:

• Completely normal behaviour caused by the difference in temperature which has no effect on the oven’s performance.

The display is completely off:

• Check the mains power supply.
• Check whether an omnipolar switch upstream of the appliance supply line is in the “ON” position.

The controls do not respond:

• Check whether “child lock” mode has been set (for further details see “Secondary menu”).

The cooking times are longer than those indicated in the table:

• Check whether it has been set in “ecologic” mode (for further details see “Secondary menu”).

The display shows “ERR4”:

• The door lock has not properly attached to the door. This might be because the door was accidentally opened during the door lock activation. Switch the appliance off and on again, waiting a few minutes before selecting a new cleaning cycle.

If the door is opened during a fan assisted function, the fan stops:

• This is not a fault. It is a normal operation of the appliance, useful when cooking foods in order to avoid excessive heat escaping. When the door is closed, the oven will return to normal operation.

(pyrolytic models only) After the (pyrolytic) automatic cleaning cycle it is not possible to select a function:

• Verify whether the door lock has deactivated. If it has not, the appliance is fitted with a safety device that does not allow functions to be selected while the door lock is active. This is because the temperature inside the oven is still too high to permit any type of cooking.

Note: If the problem has not been resolved or in the case of other types of fault, contact your local technical support centre.

Note: If other ERRx error messages are indicated: Note down the error message, function and set temperature and contact your local technical support centre.
