Using the hob

Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring

showing the strength of the flame for the relevant

burner.

To light one of the burners on the hob:

1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.

2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an

anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the

maximum flame setting 

E

.

3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired

level by turning the BURNER knob in an

anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum

setting 

C

, the maximum setting 

E

 or any position in

between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with

an electronic lighting

device* (

C

), press the

ignition button, marked with

the symbol 

1

, then hold

the BURNER knob down

and turn it in an

anticlockwise direction, towards the maximum flame

setting, until the burner is lit.The burner may be

extinguished when the knob is released. If this

occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down

for a longer period of time.

!

 If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off

the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before

attempting to relight it.

If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure

safety device (X)*, press and hold the BURNER

knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the

flame alight and to activate the device.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches

the stop position 

•.

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way

possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed,

it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a

flat base are used. They should also be suited to the

size of the burner.

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the

diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle

specifications”.

!

 On the models supplied with a reducer shelf,

remember that this should be used only for the

auxiliary burner when you use casserole dishes with a

diameter under 12 cm.

Using the oven

!

 The first time you use your appliance, heat the

empty oven with its door closed at its maximum

temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the

room is well ventilated before switching the oven off

and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a

slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective

substances used during the manufacturing process

burning away.

!

 Before operating the product, remove all plastic film

from the sides of the appliance.

!

 Never put objects directly on the bottom of the

oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being

damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when

cooking with the rotisserie spit.

Lighting the oven

To light the oven burner, bring

a flame or gas lighter close to

opening F (

see figure

) and

press the OVEN control knob

while turning it in an

anticlockwise direction until it

reaches the MAX position.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting

device*, press the ignition button, marked with the

symbol 

1

, then hold the OVEN control knob and

turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the MAX

position, until the burner is lit. If, after 15 seconds,

the burner is still not alight, release the knob, open

the oven door and wait for at least 1 minute before

trying to light it again. If there is no electricity the

burner may be lit using a flame or a lighter, as

described above.

 The oven is fitted with a safety device and it is

therefore necessary to hold the OVEN control knob

down for approximately 6 seconds.

!

 If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off

the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before

attempting to relight the oven.

Adjusting the temperature

To set the desired cooking temperature, turn the

OVEN control knob in an anticlockwise direction.

Temperatures are displayed on the control panel and

may vary between MIN (150°C) and MAX (250°C).

Once the set temperature has been reached, the oven

will keep it constant by using its thermostat.

Grill

To light the grill, bring a flame or gas lighter close to

the burner and press the OVEN control knob while

turning it in a clockwise direction until it reaches the 

d

position. The grill enables the surface of food to be

browned evenly and is particularly suitable for roast

dishes, schnitzel and sausages. Place the rack in

position 4 or 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to

collect fat and prevent the formation of smoke.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting

device*, press the ignition button, marked with the

symbol 

1

, then hold the OVEN control knob and turn

it in an clockwise direction, towards the 

d 

position. If,

after 15 seconds, the burner is still not alight, release

the knob, open the oven door and wait for at least 1

minute before trying to light it again. If there is no

electricity the burner may be lit using a flame or a

lighter, as described above.

 The grill is fitted with a safety device and it is

therefore necessary to hold the OVEN control knob

down for approximately 6 seconds.

!

 If the flame is accidentally

extinguished, switch off the

burner and wait for at least 1

minute before attempting to

relight the grill.

!

 When using the grill, leave

the oven door ajar, positioning the deflector D

between the door and the control panel (

see figure

)

in order to prevent the knobs from overheating.

Turnspit

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. Acitvate the function by pressing the TURNSPIT

button.

Oven light

The light may be switched on at any moment by

pressing the OVEN LIGHT button.
