Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to approach when playing. If electrical appliances are plugged in near the oven, take care that the lead does not touch the cooking areas and does not become trapped in the oven door. OVEN DOOR PROTECTION DEVICE All our appliances comply with the European Safety Standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid little children to be exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special protection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code ( 3 5 7 9 1 ) and the Product No. shown on the rating plate (see page 45). Fitting instructions are provided with the kit package. 44 APPLIANCE DIMENSIONS Height 850 mm Width 600 mm Depth 600 mm H Mod. PROD. NO. SER. NO. MOD. PROD. NO. TYPE SER. NO.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USER INSTALLATION It is important that all operations relating to instalation and regulation be carried out by qualified personnel, according to the rules and regulations in force. Specific instructions are described in the chapter intended for the installer. BEFORE using the appliance take care to remove the special film which protects parts in inox or stainless steel. 45 PYROCERAM COOKING PLATE The pyroceram cooking plate is equipped with a pilot light which turns on when the surface is too hot; it is a helpful device which protects users from burns. This light turns on some minutes after the plate has been set into operation, abd it stays on during the whole time of functioning and also when the plate is off to show the presence of residual heat in the pyroceram surface. The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm temperature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean the plate with no risk. The pyroceram cooking plate is resistent to sudden changes in temperature, it is insensitive to heat and cold and hals also a good resistence to mechanical blows; a sharpened object, however, no matter if it is small (for example a point of a knife) can irreparably damage the cooking surface, jeopardising its functionality. Attention: is the surface shows a crack, immediately switch the equipment off and call the Aftersales Service. Before using the cooking plate for the first time, carefully wash the pyroceram plate with a non-abrasive detergent, dry it and then wsitch it on for about 10 minutes at the highest position (n. 6 of the knob). When using the cooking plate for the first time, unpleasant smells, or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of greasy working residues and of hte dope used during the installation. These smells will vanish after some time of working. PLATE CLEANING AND MANTEINANCE Fist remove all food and grease residues from the cooking plate using a cleaning scraper. The clean the cooking plate at low heat; use a suitable detergent and absorbent paper. Finally rub it with a wet cloth and dry it with a clean cloth. WARNING: Never place alluminium foils or containers in plastic or other synthetic material on the hot pyroceram surface. Anyway, if some of these materials should settle by accident on the plate, due to overheating, be careful to remove them immediately, using a scraper (it is not supplied). In the same way, remove sugar or food residues with high sugar content, which may have split from saucepans. Cleaning detergents can supply the pyroceram plate with a protective film against dirt and damage due to sugar-substances. To this purpose, this kind of product must be applied before cooking. Never use scratching sponges, abrasive products, chemically powerful detergents (like spray oven detergents) or spot removers. 46 PRACTICAL ADVICE COOKING RECIPIENTS Remember that a large recipient offers a larger surface to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow recipient. Always use recipients of a size suitable for the food to be cooked. In particular, take care that recipients are not too small for liquid preparations which could easily spill over or that they are not too big for food which must be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are easily burnt by fats and juice. For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not open. A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar which, when spilling onto the bottom of the oven, caramelize and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic handles in the oven as they may not support the heat. ELECTRIC PLATES PYROCERAMIC Sealed hotplates The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four hot plates. (Fig. 1) This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking. Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them. Normal This is a 7 position control knob: 0 = off and 1-6 indicate the levels of power uo to the mawimum. Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should have several characteristics: they should be heavy duty. they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller. they should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate (Fig. 2). - 0 6 1 YES 5 2 FO 2087 3 4 NO Fig. 1 NO Fig. 2 47 ELECTRIC OVEN Selector switch to choose type of cooking (Fig. 3) and thermostat regulation (Fig. 4).
