Before switching on the electric oven, one of the preset cooking options should be selected as
follows:
-
Turn the control knob (1) to the desired position: full heating , cooking from the bottom
or au gratin ;
-
The desired cooking temperature is controlled by the thermostat (2); the two indicator lights
come on. The green light stays on to indicate the power supply, while the orange one switches
off once the oven reaches the right temperature;
-
To switch off the oven, turn one of the two control knobs to the

The hotplates are switched on as follows:
Turn the control knob (1) to the desired position; the indicator light (2) comes on to indicate that the
selected hotplate is on. The control knob (fig. 22 p. 9) is connected to the power regulator, so when
it is turned the machine is switched on. Depending on the setting,
-
the hotplate heats up to a certain temperature in order to maintain a constant radiation
temperature. The higher the setting selected on the control knob, the higher the temperature of
the hotplate.
-
For cooking in general it is advisable to turn the control knob to the maximum setting for the
first few minutes and then turn it down to a temperature suitable for the type of cooking
required.
IMPORTANT: WHEN THE HOTPLATE IS SWITCHED ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
Fumes or vapours may be given off by the thermal insulation of the appliance or traces of
oil from its manufacture. These are not harmful to health. It is therefore recommended, by
way of exception, THE FIRST TIME THE HOTPLATE IS USED, to heat the bare appliance
(without cookware) at the maximum setting for a maximum of 10 minutes and to ventilate the
room during this operation.
An acrid or burning smell may also be noticed the first time the appliance is used. This will,
however, disappear once it has been used two or three times.
ATTENTION! Never leave the appliance unattended while in use. Never leave the hotplate
switched on without cookware or with empty cookware. For perfect cooking results it is
recommendable to use cookware with flat and preferably thick bases as this also helps to limit
the use of electricity. The heating elements in the hotplates respond quickly, so is not
necessary to always keep them at the highest temperature. In moments of inactivity or
standby it is advisable to set the control knob to minimum (or even to switch it off if
prolonged inactivity is expected).
ATTENTION! The hotplate takes a while to cool after the appliance has been switched off,
so be careful about placing anything on it.
Abnormal functioning
If for any reason, the appliance does not start or stops working during use, first check the energy
supply and that the control knobs are set correctly, and then call customer service.
