[. . . ] If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display. 6. 4 Protection from hob overheating If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high. To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is managed automatically. 6. 5 Advice on energy-saving Below you will find advice on how to use your hob effectively and economically. • The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone. • When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the container, as the top is almost always larger than the base. • When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food. • Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone. • Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. 14 Instructions for the user 6. 6 Power levels The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. Suitable for OFF position Dishwarming Cooking small amounts of food (minimum power) Cooking Cooking large quantities of food, roasting larger portions Roasting, slow frying with flour Roasting Roasting / browning, cooking (maximum power) 6. 7 Saucepan recognition If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted and the symbol will appear on the display. If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the hob to the power level set using the knob. After a prolonged period of interruption to the power supply, the control lock will be deactivated. If this is the case, turn it back on as described above. 16 Instructions for the user 7. USING THE OVEN 7. 1 Before using the appliance • Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”. • • Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 7. 2 Oven runners The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see figure). 7. 3 Storage compartment (on some models only) The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker. It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc. . Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high. 7. 4 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off. 7. 5 Internal light The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected. 17 Instructions for the user 7. 6 General warnings and advice for use All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. 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. [. . . ] Warning: before removing the glass panels, make sure that at least one of the door's hinges has been locked in the open position as described in chapter “10. 1 Removing the door”. This operation may have to be repeated during the glass removal process if the door is accidentally freed. Removing the internal glass panel: • Remove the internal glass panel by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1). • Doing this detaches the 4 pins attached to the glass from their slots in the oven door.
