INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE AND PROPER USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE AND THEREFORE MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE COOKER. WE ADVISE READING THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN BEFORE USING THE COOKER. [. . . ] For best results and energy saving, only use receptacles suitable for electric cooking: · The bottom of the receptacles must be very thick and perfectly flat; before placing on the cooking hob, make sure that it, as well as the cooking hob itself, are perfectly clean and dry. · To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use cast-iron receptacles or receptacles with a rough bottom. · To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the diameter of the receptacle bottom is the same as that of the circle marked on the cooking hob. 43 Instructions for the user Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the cooking hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on to the cooking hob. In the event, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the top is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the glazed ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down. Beware of children in the vicinity as the signal lamps indicating residual heat are out of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking hob remains hot for a certain period of time. Make sure that children never touch the cooking hob. 4. 2 Cooking tips The following table shows the knob setting according to the type of food to be cooked or heated.

USE OF THE OVENS 5. 1 Warnings and general advice Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste. The user has only to press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout. To avoid problems that may be caused by any vapour in the ovens, open the doors in two phases: keep them half open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds then open them completely. If you need to attend to the food the doors should be left open for the shortest time possible, thus avoiding lowering of internal temperature to a point that might jeopardise final cooking results. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. 45 Instructions for the user 6.
