H - Cooking modes and Instructions Cooking functions will vary from model to model – below is a NOTE: description of the functions that are available. Some or all of these functions will be included on the product you have purchased. The following table summarises the operating parameters of each cooking mode of the oven: Oven function Grill element...

HINT: Because there will be some heat loss while placing food into the oven, preheat the oven 10-20°C higher than your desired temperature, and then reduce the temperature to your required cooking temperature once you have placed your food in the oven. Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.
DEFROST All foods may be defrosted using the Fan Forced Convection mode. It is important to note that this function actives the fan motor and the light only, but it is possible to adjust the temperature between 40°C to 60°C after the program starts. As a general guide, the defrosting time for meat is approximately 15-20 minutes per lb.
FAN FORCED ("True Fan") CONVECTION – most commonly used function In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from behind the fan cover to give a more even temperature throughout the oven. The even heat provides similar cooking results for each portion of food.
FAN GRILL NOTE: Door must be closed in Fan Grill Mode Fan grilling is a combination of direct heat and circulated hot air and gives the appearance and flavour similar to rotisserie cooking, which is ideal for single level roasts. Direct infrared heat from the grill element is circulated by the fan to cook the food, which should be positioned as near to the centre of the oven as possible.
HIGH BAKE The HIGH BAKE mode uses the oven fan to circulate air with heat from the lower oven element. Quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven. The results are quick, not unlike a microwave oven. With the circulation of heat, foods cooked with high bake mode retain a crisp, dry texture on the outside especially pizza, pastries, and other foods where you want the base to be well cooked.

START AND USE Switching on the appliance: The cooktop switches on by selecting the n°4 sensor on the control area. When this sensor is selected, a beep sounds. If it is the first time the appliance is switched on, the appliance lights up all of the displays on the control panel and switches off after 10 seconds.
Page 22
Selecting a Burner and its power level: A burner is selected by touching the corresponding cooking area key (n°6) for 3 seconds. Then, a beep sounds and the burner display shows the power level. The burners that are not selected are shown with a dot. When the burner selection is finished, a beep sounds after 10 seconds and all the burner displays show the power levels again.
Page 23
Booster Function This function brings every power zone to the highest level (position 10) for a maximum period of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the power returns to the level "9". WARNING: WHEN BOTH LEFT BURNERS ARE USED SIMULTANIOUSLY (n°1 & n°3), THERE IS A POWER LIMITATION (the usage never exceeds 3600W).

POWER LEVEL MAXIMUM TIME OF FUNCTIONING (HOURS) 10 (min.) Switching off the Appliance To switch off the appliance, push the n°4 sensor. When the cooktop is switched off, a sound is made and an “H” symbol appears on the used cooking areas, which indicates the after heat or a possible failure.
Page 26
Stop & Go function: The Stop and Go function allows temporary pausing of the cooking process, allowing the user to answer the door or the telephone without worrying that the water will boil over. This function is also useful to clean the surface of the cooktop without changing the selected cooking settings. The stop function is activated when the STOP&GO key (n°11) is touched for more than 2 seconds: The key blinks, makes a sound, and the cooktop functions are temporarily stopped.

• Once this is done, a beep sounds and the actual Cooktop Power Limit will be shown in the burner displays. To select a new Power Limit: • By pressing the KEYLOCK KEY, you can increase the Power Limit. The selectable powers are: 2800W, 3500W, 6000W or 7200W. When the power is 7200W, if the KEYLOCK KEY is touched the power changes to 2800W.
M - COOKTOP CARE Cleaning: As the glass absorbs only a small part of the heat from the heated cookware, it is relatively cool. This helps to avoid any foods that may spill from burning onto the surface. Although it is not entirely necessary, wait for the cooktop to completely cool to clean it. Never use steam machines to clean the range.
