Practical advice on using the electric
hotplates
To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use
pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less
than that of the hotplate itself.

! Before using the hotplates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans
on them. During this initial stage, their protective
coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
Lower compartment*
There is a compartment underneath the oven that
may be used to store oven accessories or deep
dishes. To open the
door pull it downwards
(
see figure).
! The internal surfaces
of the compartment
(where present) may
become hot.
! Do not place
flammable materials in
the lower oven
compartment.
Rotisserie
To operate the
rotisserie (
see diagram)
proceed as follows:
1. Place the dripping
pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie
support in position 4
and insert the spit in
the hole provided on
the back panel of the
oven.
3. Activate the rotisserie by selecting with the
SELECTOR knob.
Timer*
To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction 4
for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction
5
to set the desired length of time.
Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN
OVEN cooking mode , as this is the only cooking
mode suited to this type of cooking. We also
recommend that:
• Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because
excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
• Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that
requires more heat is placed on the rack in
position 2.
• When cooking foods that require different cooking
times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
halfway between the two recommended
temperatures (
see Oven cooking advice table)
and place the more delicate food on the rack in
position 4. Remove the food that requires a
shorter cooking time first.
• When cooking pizzas on several racks with the
temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated
for 15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on
the rack in position 4 takes longer: we
recommend that the pizza cooked on the lowest
rack position is removed first, followed by the
pizza cooked in position 4 a few minutes later.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
