Instructions for the user 4.
Instructions for the user 5. BEFORE INSTALLATION Do not discard packing in the home environment. Separate the various waste materials and take them to the nearest special garbage collection centre. In order to remove all manufacturing residues, we recommend you to clean the appliance. For further information on cleaning see point "7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".
Instructions for the user 6. USING THE HOB 6.1 Gas hob Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The rack B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooker hob, it comes complete with a raised pan stand C. This must be placed under pans with a diameter bigger than those indicated in the table in point "6.
Instructions for the user 6.2 Practical tips for using the burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with a flat, smooth base and a lid that have a suitable size for the burner, thus preventing the flames reaching the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over.
Instructions for the user 6.4 Glass ceramic hob The appliance has two cooking zones of various power levels and diameters. The positions are clearly indicated by circles and the heat is concentrated within the diameters traced on the hob. The radiating zones come on after a few seconds and their heat level can be adjusted by rotating the knob to the required position between 1 and 9. The adjustment is gradual so all the intermediate zones can be used.
Instructions for the user For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for electric cooking: • • • 6.5 The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry. The hob must also be clean and dry. Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they may scratch the cooking surface. The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.
Instructions for the user The adjustment of the barbeque hot plate's power is done using the control knob, turning it to the desired position between 1 and 9. The adjustment is gradual so all the intermediate zones can be used. The indicator light comes on to indicate that the plate is heating up. When this light goes out, the preset power level has been reached. When the light flashes regularly it means that the power of the hot plate is kept steady on the set level.
Instructions for the user 6.6.1 Some good frying tips The level of oil in the basin must always be between 3 litres (minimum amount indicated inside the basin) and 3.5 litres (maximum amount indicated inside the basin). The resistance cannot operate in the open air: it must always be immersed in the oil or fat. Do not put solid vegetable or animal fat into the basin. It must already be melted before putting it into the basin. WARNING: before lifting the resistance up, make sure it is cool.
Instructions for the user 6.6.2 When the frying is finished The basket containing the fried food can be left to "drain" before tipping out the contents. You can do this by hanging it using the specific hooks on the upper part of the resistance as shown in the figure to the side.
Instructions for the user 6.7 Induction hob Metal objects such as silverware or lids must not be placed on the cooking hob surface as they can become very hot. 6.7.1 Cooking zones The appliance has 2 cooking zones of various power levels and diameters. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the glass.
Instructions for the user 6.7.2 Heating accelerator Each cooking zone has a heating accelerator. This system lets the burner operate at maximum power for a time that is proportional to the selected power. To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select the “A” position and release. The letter “A” appears on the cooking hob display. At this point you have 3 seconds to choose the desired heating position.
Instructions for the user 6.7.4 Cookware Appliances of this type require special cookware to be able to work. In fact, the cookware must have an iron or steel/iron bottom to generate the magnetic field necessary for it to be heated up. Recipients made of the following are not suitable: • glass • ceramic: • terracotta • steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking.
Instructions for the user Make sure you only use containers intended for induction cooking, with a thick and completely flat bottom, or, if not available, containers without a curved bottom (concave or convex). YES NO NO 6.7.5 Cookware detector signal Every cooking zone has a “cookware detector” that only starts the cooking if there is a well positioned container with the suitable characteristics present on the burner.
Instructions for the user Operation Fan turns on at low speed Fan turns on at high speed Fan returns to low speed Fan turns off Operating power reduced from Power to 9 Reduction of power of a point for every cooking zone Turning off all the cooking zones Switching the cooking zones on again at reduced power Normal operation of all the cooking zones Activating temperature 50° C 60° C 55° C 45° C 76° C 85° C 90° C 85° C 80° C Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob with a flash
Instructions for the user Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the glass ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.
Instructions for the user 7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE. Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the appliance. 7.1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first. 7.1.
Instructions for the user 7.3 Cleaning the glass ceramic hob The glass ceramic hob should be regularly cleaned, preferably after every use, once the residual heat warning lights have gone off. Smudges from aluminium-based pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened in vinegar. Remove any burnt residues after cooking with the scraper provided; rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Instructions for the user WARNING: when the resistance is raised, take care not to activate the control device. Danger of burns! 7.5 Cleaning the deep fat fryer As well as following the instructions in paragraph “7.1 Cleaning stainless steel” there are a few considerations need to be made regarding the cleaning of the basin. Once you have finished frying and removed the basket (that can be washed in the dishwasher), remove the basin with the frying oil, lifting it up using the specific handles.
