WARNING: If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches. When cooking foods with oil and fat,
which are very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance unattended. If the appliance is equipped with
a glass cover, such a cover may break when heated. Turn off all burners before lowering the cover. Do not use
sprays near the appliance when it is being used. When using the burners, make sure that the handles of the pots
are correctly positioned. Keep children away from the appliance. If equipped with a cover, before being closed,
any food deposits should be cleaned off the built-in surface.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.
Therefore, proper aeration in the room is needed while ensuring that natural ventilation openings remain
unobstructed (Fig.3) and activating the mechanical aeration device/exhaust hood or electric fan (Fig. 4 and Fig.
5). Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional aeration, for example by opening a
window, or more efficient aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical exhauster, if installed.
USING THE ELECTRIC GRIDDLE
WARNING
The griddle element is hot after use. Allow sufficient time for griddle components cool before cleaning.
The power of the electric griddle oven is 1100W.
Seasoning the griddle
Before using the griddle for the first time, it must be seasoned.
If the griddle has not been used for a period of time, it should be reseasoned.
To season the gridlle:
1. clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2. rinse with a mixture of 1 quart water and 1 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the center of the griddle. Do not use corn oil as it gets sticky. Rub the oil over the
entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth.
4. Turn the control knob to a maximum setting (7) (fig.21). Turn the heat off when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the
griddle to cool.
5. Repeat step 3. Be sure to cover the entiresurface with the oil

USING THE ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT (Left oven)
The thermostat supplied with the relative models maintains a constant temperature inside the oven at a specific
temperature setting ranging from 50°C to 250°C.(fig.23)
Turn the knob clockwise and align the selected temperature indicated on the ring with the index etched on the control
panel. Thermostat operation is indicated by an orange light which will turn off when the temperature inside the oven is
10°C greater than the temperature setting, and will turn on when the oven is 10°C less than the temperature setting. The
thermostat can control the oven elements only if the relative switch is in one of the possible oven element operating
modes: if the switch is in position 0, the thermostat has not effect on the oven elements, which remain off.

flat bottom
