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 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*, 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.
Burner ø Cookware Diameter (mm)
Fast (R) 240 - 280
Semi Fast (S) 160 - 240
Auxiliary (A) 60 - 200
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle
specifications”.
Start-up and use
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.
! 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 E position.
! 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.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it
reaches the stop position
•.
Adjusting the temperature
To set the desired cooking temperature, turn the
OVEN control knob in an anticlockwise direction:
minimum setting C , the maximum setting E or any
position in between the two.
The oven door of the cooker has a thermometer that
instantaneously shows the temperature inside the
oven in degrees centigrade.
