For each BURNER knob there is a full 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

ma

x

imum 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

ma

imum setting 

E

 or any position in between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with an

electronic lighting device* (

see

figure

), press the BURNER

knob and turn it in an

anticlockwise direction,

towards the minimum flame

setting, until the burner is lit.

The burner may be

e

x

tinguished 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 e

x

tinguished, 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*, press and hold the BURNER knob for

appro

x

imately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight

and to activate the device.

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

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:

 The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty

oven with its door closed at its ma

x

imum 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.

 Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven;

this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

 Before operating the product, remove all plastic film

from the sides of the appliance.

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the

SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the recommended temperature for the

cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning

the T

H

ERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking

temperatures can be found in the relevant table (

see

Oven cooking advice table

).

During cooking it is always possible to:

• Change the cooking mode by turning the

SELECTOR knob.

• Change the temperature by turning the

T

H

ERMOSTAT knob.

• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the

“0” position.

 Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It

switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the

selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on.

When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use

one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the

heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.

mode

The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus

guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and

uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is

ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods

(such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of

pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.

w

A

mode

The circular heating elements and the elements at the

bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated.

This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a

considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element

at the bottom. If you use more than one rack simultaneously,

switch the position of the dishes halfway through the

cooking process.

mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on

and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains

constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns

food in a uniform manner. A ma

used at the same time.

mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched on.

The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended

for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and

beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode

uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling

Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be

cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.

GRILL

• When using the GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking

modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping pan

in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or

grease). When using the GRATIN cooking mode, place

the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in

position 1 to collect cooking residues.

• We recommend that the power level is set to ma

The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and

may not always operate contantly.

PIZZA OVEN MODE

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack

provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it
