[. . . ] 14 Installation  Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance.  Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. [. . . ] • We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on. PIZZA • For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTICOOKING mode. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time). • If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

Recommended power levels for varus types of cooking: S e t . Switching on the glass ceramic hob Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular heating elements. They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been turned on. Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you to select from 9 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. The extendable radiant elements (B) are recognisable by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can turn on only the smaller internal cooking zone or both the external and internal zones. The control knob allows you to choose between two power levels, which are both adjustable between a minimum value of 1 to a maximum of 9: ) Traditional cooking zones Practical advice on using the glass ceramic hob The glue that is applied on the gaskets leaves some traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you eliminate these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. Extendable cooking zones • Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly. To obtain the best results with your hob: • The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise from 1 to 9. • Turn the knob to completely ()) until you hear a slight click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn can be adjusted between 9 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position 0. For double cooking zones, the first part of the knob movement activates the smaller cooking zone (internal). To activate both (internal and external), it is necessary to turn the knob completely ()) and then select the desired power level between 9 and 1. [. . . ] • Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they stick properly to the door and do not allow heat to disperse. 22 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Inspecting the seals Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre (see Assistance). [. . . ]
