Do not pour water directly on very hot trays.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
If you need to move food or at the end of cooking, open the door 5 cm for a few seconds, let the steam come out, then open it fully

Improper use

Danger of burns

Make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.
Oils and fat could catch fire if overheated. Be very careful.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.
Accessible parts will become hot when in use. To avoid burns young children should be kept away

Risk of damage to surfaces

Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil sheets.
If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
Do not place pans or trays directly on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
Do not use the open door to rest pans or trays on the internal glass pane.
Do not pour water directly on very hot trays.
Make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.
The cooking vessels or griddle plates should be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. Not suitable for use with aftermarket lids or covers.
All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms.
If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob.
Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer or griddle plate between pan and pan support.
Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok stand, only use the wok support supplied.
Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.
Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does not overhang the appliance.

First use

Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories.
Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from the accessories and from the cooking compartments.
Remove all the accessories from the appliance and clean them (see 4 Cleaning and maintenance).
Heat the empty ovens at the maximum temperature to burn off any residues left by the manufacturing process.

Using the accessories

Racks and trays

Racks and trays have to be inserted into the side guides until they come to a complete stop.

The mechanical safety locks that prevent the rack from being taken out accidentally have to face downwards and towards the oven back.

Gently insert racks and trays into the oven until they come to a stop.

Clean the trays before using them for the first time to remove any residues left by the manufacturing process.

Tray rack

The tray has to be inserted into the rack. In this way fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.

Reduction pan stands

The reduction pan stands have to be placed on the hob grids. Make sure they are properly placed.

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 lights. 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 down 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.

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

Correct position for flame-spreader crowns and burner caps

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes in the flame-spreader crowns are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples (A).

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 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

Cookware diameters:

• Auxiliary: 12 - 14 cm.

• Semi-rapid: 16 - 24 cm.

• Rapid: 18 - 26 cm.

• Ultra-rapid: 18 - 26 cm.

Functions list

Bottom

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.

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 present) gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

Fan-assisted 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-assisted bottom

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. In pyrolytic models, the special defrosting and proving functions are brought together under the same function.

Fan-assisted circular

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

Cooking advice

General advice

Use a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform 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).
Using more ovens at the same time might affect the final cooking results.

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 and the Fan-assisted 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-assisted grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
With the Grill function, we recommend that you turn the temperature knob to the maximum value near the symbol to optimise cooking.
Foods should be seasoned before cooking. Foods should also be coated with oil or melted butter before cooking.
Use the oven tray on the first bottom shelf to collect fluids produced by grilling.
Grilling processes should never last more than 60 minutes using multifunction ovens, 30 minutes inside the auxiliary oven.

Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits

Use preferably dark metal moulds: they help to absorb the heat better.
Temperature and cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
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.
While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking.

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.
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.

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven glass door since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.
Do not wash the removable components such as the hob pan stands, flame-spreader crowns and burner caps in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the appliance

To keep the oven surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.

Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cooking hob pan stands

Remove the pan stands and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the hob.

Continuous contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps

For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader crowns and the burner caps can be removed. Wash them in hot water and nonabrasive detergent. Carefully remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry. Refit the flame-spreader crowns making sure that they are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.

Igniters and thermocouples

For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

Removing the door

For easier cleaning, the door can be removed and placed on a canvas.

To remove the door proceed as follows:

Open the door completely and lift levers near the two hinges.
Grasp the door on both sides with both hands, lift it forming an angle of around 30° and remove it.
To reassemble the door, put the hinges in the relevant slots in the oven, making sure that grooved sections are resting completely in the slots. Lower the door and disengage the lock levers.

Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.

We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.

Cleaning the inside of the oven

For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. Take out all removable parts.

Clean the oven racks with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Carefully rinse and dry the damp parts.

The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 15-20 minutes after the use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

For easier cleaning, remove the door.

Extraordinary maintenance

Replacing the internal light bulb

Remove the bulb protector A by turning it anticlockwise and replace bulb B with a similar one. Re-fit bulb protector A.

Removing the seal

To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the door seal can be removed. There are hooks on all four sides to attach it to the edge of the oven. Pull the edges of the seal outwards to detach the hooks.

To keep the seals clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and lukewarm water. Seals should be soft and elastic.
