[. . . ] Be sure to remove this plastic film before you start operating the appliance and clean the parts involved using a soft cloth wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Ensure that the electrical supply complies with the type stated on the rating plate. When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with the hot surfaces of the appliance. Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the cooking zones as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage. [. . . ] Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave behind metallic discolourations which can only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all. Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite. 13 Using the oven Always cook with the oven door closed. The heating elements do not work when theoven door is not completely closed. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram. - Do not place objects on the oven base and do not cover any part of the oven with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the shelf runners. Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if overheated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass. Hints and Tips on grilling If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it. Defrosting . The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. However, please note that the temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of defrosting. This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which could be damaged by heat, e. g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products. Hints and Tips Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to prevent drying out during defrosting. Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when ever possible and turned over half way through the defrosting process. How to Use Defrosting Press button to select the defrosting function . Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting times. 15 Cooking Chart Cooking times do not include pre-heating time.

To check if this operation has been carried out correctly, when inserting the glass, make sure that the surface of the glass marked with a black frame looks upwards and that the dot is located on the upper right corner of the glass (see diagram 7). If the door glass panels become chipped or have deep scratches, the glasses will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. [. . . ]
