INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE This appliance has fire protection (type Y) and can be installed against walls higher than the work surface. In compliance with Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations, the electromagnetic induction hob is classified in Group 2 and Class B (EN 55011) 2.1 Electrical connection Make sure the voltage and the cross-section of the power supply line match the specifications indicated on the identification plate positioned in the storage compartment. Do not remove this plate for any reason. Fit the power supply line with a multipolar cut-out device with a contact opening gap equal to or greater than 3 mm in an easily accessible position close to the appliance. The appliance has a terminal board on its rear for the electrical connection (see diagram below). To access it, remove the back cover. 38 Instructions for the installer Operation at 380-415V3N~: use a H05V2V2-F five-wire cable (cable of 5 x 2.5 mm2). Operation at 380-415V2N~: use a H05V2V2-F four-wire cable (cable of 4 x 4 mm2). Operation at 220-240 V~: use a H05V2V2F three-wire cable (cable of 3 x 6 mm2). The earth wire (yellow-green) must be at least 20 mm longer than the other wires at the end for connection to the appliance. The power supply cable must be fitted with a suitable five-pin plug (see technical data plate) or, for appliances operating on 220-240V, a threepin plug. The power supply plug and wall socket must be of the same type (in compliance with CEI standards). The appliance must be earthed appropriately.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS 3.1 The front panel All the cooker's control and monitoring devices are placed together on the front panel. At first use after a power blackout, press the central key seconds to enable oven cooking operations. KEY TO SYMBOLS OVEN THERMOSTAT OVEN FUNCTIONS LEFT FRONT COOKING ZONE LEFT REAR COOKING ZONE CENTRAL COOKING ZONE RIGHT REAR COOKING ZONE RIGHT FRONT COOKING ZONE for 1 - 2 THERMOSTAT KNOB The cooking temperature is selected by turning the knob clockwise to the required setting, between 50° and 250°C. The light comes on to indicate that the oven is heating up. This light goes out when the set temperature is reached. When it flashes at regular intervals, the temperature inside the oven is being kept constantly at the set level. 40 Instructions for the User FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB Turn the knob to select one of the following functions: NO FUNCTION SET TOP AND BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENTS TOP AND BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENTS + FAN FUNCTION GRILL ELEMENT GRILL ELEMENT + FAN BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENT + FAN BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENT + FAN HEATING ELEMENT FAN HEATING ELEMENT + FAN DEFROSTING HOB CONTROL KNOB These knobs provide control of the ceramic hob's cooking zones. The zone it controls is shown above each knob. The knob shown on the right is for the rear left-hand cooking zone. Turn the knob to the right to set the zone's operating power; the settings range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. The working power is shown by a display on the hob. 41 Instructions for the user Heating accelerator Each cooking zone is equipped with a heating accelerator. This system allows the zone to be operated at peak power for a time proportional to the heating power selected. To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select setting "A" and then release. The letter "A" will appear on the display on the hob. You now have 3 seconds to select the heating setting of your choice. Once a setting between 1 and 9 has been selected, "A" and the chosen setting will flash in alternation on the display. While the heating accelerator is in operation, the heating level can be increased at any time. The "full power" time will be modified accordingly. If the power is reduced by turning the knob anticlockwise, option "A" is automatically deactivated. Power Function The power function allows the user to operate each heating zone continuously at the maximum power for a time of no more than 10 minutes. This function can be used, for example, to bring a large amount of water to the boil in a hurry, or to turn up the heat under meat. Turn the knob clockwise and set heating level 9, then use the knob to set the "P" position and release it. "P" appears on the corresponding zone display. After 10 minutes, the power is reduced automatically, the knob returns to the 9 setting and the "P" disappears. However, the power function can be turned off at any time by reducing the heating level. When the power function is selected for one heating zone (e.g. the left front zone), the power absorbed by the second zone (left rear zone) might be reduced to supply the maximum available energy to the first zone. Consequently, the power function takes priority over the heating accelerator. If a pan is removed from the cooking zone while the power function is on, the function is switched off. 42 Instructions for the User 3.2 Electronic Analogue Clock (on some models only) LIST OF FUNCTIONS TIMER KEY END OF COOKING KEY TIME SETTING AND RESET VALUE DECREASE KEY VALUE INCREASE KEY The buzzer that sounds at the end of each programming will be made up of 10 buzzes repeated 3 times at intervals of about 1 minute. This sequence can be stopped at any time by pressing any key. 3.2.1 Setting the time When using the oven for the first time, or after a power failure, the display flashes at regular intervals. Press the key to stop the display flashing. Press key again for 2 seconds; the current time or to can now be set. Press the value modification buttons increase or decrease the setting by one minute for each pressure. Press either of the value modification keys to display the current time. Five seconds after last pressing the key, the clock will start from the set time. 43 Instructions for the user 3.2.2 Timer This function only activates the buzzer, without stopping cooking. Press and the display will light up as shown in figure 1; Within 5 seconds press key or to set the timer. Each time a key is pressed, an outer segment representing 1 minute of cooking is lit or switched off (figure 2 shows 1 hour and 10 minutes). Five seconds after last pressing the key the countdown begins, at the end of which the buzzer activates. The current time can be viewed during the countdown by pressing key once, press the key again to return to the timer display. 1 2 At the end of the countdown, the oven must be switched off manually by turning the thermostat and function selector knob to 0. It is not possible to set a cooking time of more than 4 hours. 44 Instructions for the User 3.2.3 Programming can be pressed to set the cooking Cooking duration: the 2nd button duration. Before it can be set, the thermostat must be turned to the desired cooking temperature and the function selector knob to any setting. To set the cooking duration, proceed as follows: Press key ; the pointer will go to position 12 and the adjacent symbol will flash (Fig. 1). Within 5 seconds press key or to set the cooking duration: each pressure on the key adds 1 minute to the cooking duration, and every 12 minutes a new inside segment will light up (figure 2 shows a cooking duration of 1 hour). Once the desired duration is obtained, cooking will start about 5 seconds after the last pressure on or . The display will show the current time, represented by the constantly illuminated segments, and the minutes left to the end of the cooking time, represented by the flashing segments (each flashing segment means 12 minutes of cooking time left). At the end of the cooking time the timer will switch the oven heating elements off, the beeps will start to sound and the numbers on the dial will flash. The duration can also be reset by deleting the program selected: Press the central key for 2 seconds to cancel the set duration and the oven will have to be manually switched off. 1 - - 2 - - Warning: it is not possible to set cooking durations of more than 12 hours. 45 Instructions for the user Cooking start: as well as setting a cooking duration, the cooking start time can also be set (with a maximum delay of 12 hours in relation to the current time). To set the cooking start/end time, proceed as follows: Set the cooking duration as described in the previous point. Within 5 seconds of last pressing key or , press key ...
