Using the rack or tray

The racks or trays are equipped with a mechanical safety lock which prevents them from being taken out accidentally. To insert the rack or tray correctly, check that the lock is facing downwards (as shown in the figure at the side).

To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly.

The mechanical lock (or the extension piece where present) must always face the back of the oven.

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

In models with guides, clean the trays before using them for the first time. Cleaning will remove any manufacturing residues, which may otherwise scratch the sides of the oven cavity when trays are being inserted.

Using the support rack

The support rack is inserted into the tray (as shown in the figure). Using this, foods can be cooked and the fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.

Using the reduction pan stands

The reduction pan stands should be placed on top of the hob pan stands as shown in the adjacent figure. Make sure they are stable.

The WOK pan stand should only be used when cooking with a wok.

USING THE COOKING HOB

General warnings and advice

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.

Lighting the hob burners

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 lighter. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to “0” 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, keeping the knob pressed for longer.

If the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

Practical hints for using the hob burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph “6.4 Cookware diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob.

To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms.

If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated.

Cookware diameters

To prevent damage to the appliance or adjacent units, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.

USING THE OVEN

Before using the appliance

• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment.
• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

Oven runners

The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see figure). models with frames models with guides

Storage compartment (on some models only)

The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker. It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc.

Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high.

Cooling system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts, with the exception of the gas burner where start-up is delayed. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off.

Internal light

The light inside the oven comes on when any function is selected, except when the bottom burner is being used, in which case the timer knob must be turned to symbol

General warnings and advice for use

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause hazards.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack.

To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: keep it half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

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.

To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's lid (where present) must always be raised when using the oven.

Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.

Using the bottom burner

Electronic spark ignition

Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it anti-clockwise between MIN and MAX; the electric spark ignition is activated automatically. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, leave the oven door open and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute.

The bottom burner cannot be lit with the oven door closed.

Manual ignition

In the event of a power failure, the oven can be ignited manually. Open the oven door fully, press and turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise between MIN and MAX; light a long match and put the flame through the centre front slots at the bottom of the oven (as indicated in the figure). Alternatively you can use an electric gas lighter with a long spout. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.

If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, leave the oven door open and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute.

If the burner is extinguished accidentally, turn the knob to the off position (0) and wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.

Using the electric grill

Use the function selection knob to select either the grill or the fan-assisted grill. For further information see “8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN”.

Lighting the gas burner will switch off the electric grill element. The bottom burner and the electric grill can never be used at the same time.

• Grilling processes must never last more than 60 minutes.
• Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill; keep children well away from the appliance.

COOKING WITH THE OVEN

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. (4th or 5th runner).

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). We recommend using the 4th runner.

FAN:

This function is useful for activating ventilation while using the bottom gas burner. The air produced by the fan helps distribute heat evenly inside the oven.

DEFROSTING:

Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of air inside the oven. (We recommend using the 1st or 2nd runner).

Cooking advice and instructions

General advice

• We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at all heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
• 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.
• For rapid preheating use a fan-assisted function, then select the required function.

Advice for cooking meat

• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, 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 desserts and biscuits

• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
• 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.

Advice for defrosting and proving

• We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
• The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.
• Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
• When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. 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.

Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill

• Using the Grill function , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function,however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.

Cooking information table

The times indicated in the following tables do not include the preheating times and are provided as a guide only

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not use steam jets for cleaning the appliance. The steam could reach the electronics, damaging them and causing short-circuits.

WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves while performing any cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.

Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).

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

Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

Ordinary daily cleaning

To clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

How to use: 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.

Cleaning the cooking hob parts

Pan stands

Remove the pan stands and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent, making 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.

Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.

Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns

The burner caps and flame-spreader crowns can be removed for easier cleaning. Wash them in warm water and non-abrasive detergent making sure to remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry.

Refit the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, and ensuring that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples.

Do no wash these parts in a dishwasher.

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.

Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).

Cleaning 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 nonabrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
• For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “10.2 Removing the door”).
  

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

When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly

Removing guide frames (where present)

Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily. This should be done each time the automatic cleaning cycle is used (on some models only).

To remove the guide frames:

1. pull the frame towards the inside of the oven to unhook it from its housing A.
2. Slide it out of the seats at the back B.
   

When cleaning is complete, repeat the above procedures to put the guide frames back in.

Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents to clean the oven's door glass panels (e.g. powder products, spot-removers and wire sponges). Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven's glass doors since they may scratch the surface.

Cleaning the door seal

To keep the seal clean, use a non-abrasive sponge and lukewarm water. The seal should be soft and flexible (with the exception of pyrolitic models).

In pyrolitic models, the seal may flatten over time and lose its original shape. To restore it, pinch the seal all the way along. This also helps remove any dirt on the seal.

EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

The oven requires periodic minor maintenance or replacement of parts subject to wear, such as gaskets, light bulbs, etc. Specific instructions for each operation of this kind are given below.

Before any intervention that requires access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

WARNING: For your safety, you are advised to wear protective gloves while performing any cleaning or extraordinary maintenance.

Replacing the light bulb

If a light bulb needs to be replaced because it is worn or burnt out, remove the guide frames; see “9.5.1

Removing guide frames (where present)”.

Then remove the bulb cover using a tool (e.g. a screwdriver).

Remove the bulb by unscrewing (filament bulbs) or pulling it out (halogen bulbs) in the indicated direction.

Replace the bulb with one of the same type (25W for filament bulbs or 40W for halogen bulbs).

Do not touch halogen bulbs directly with your fingers, wrap them in insulating material.

Removing the door

Open the door completely.

Insert a pin into the hole in the hinge. Repeat for both 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 ‘C’ are resting completely at the base of the slots. Lower the door and once it is in place remove the pins from the holes in the hinges.

Removing the door seal (not on pyrolitic models)

To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the door seal may be removed.

There are fasteners on all four sides to attach it to the edge of the oven. Pull the edges of the seal outwards to detach the fasteners. The seal must be replaced when it loses elasticity and hardens.

Removing the internal glass panels

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. To facilitate cleaning, it is possible to remove the door (see 10.2 Removing the door) and place it on a canvas, or open it and lock the hinges in order to extract the glass panels. The glass panels of the door can be completely removed by following the instructions provided below.

Warning: before removing the glass panels, make sure that at least one of the door's hinges has been locked in the open position as described in chapter “10.2 Removing the door”. This operation may have to be repeated during the glass removal process if the door is accidentally freed.

Removing the internal glass panel:

• Remove the internal glass panel by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1).
• Then pull the front of the glass panel upwards (2).
• Doing this detaches the 4 pins attached to the glass from their slots in the oven door.
