IMPORTANT:
- Difficulty in igniting burners is normal if the cooker has been out
of use for some time. The air accumulated in the pipes will be
expelled in a few seconds;
- Never allow too much unburnt gas to flow from the burners. If
ignition is not achieved within a relatively short time, repeat the
procedure after returning the knob to the off position ( );
- when the oven and grill are lit for the first time, a smell may be
noticed and smoke may come out of the oven. This is because
of the surface treatment and oily residues on the burners.
HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS
Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner type. The flames must
not project beyond the base of the pan. Recommended sizes:
- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8 cm using the adjusting
grid supplied with the cooker
- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least 14 cm
- for rapid and triple flame burners = pan of at least 22 cm.
N.B.: Never keep the knob at settings between the maximum flame
symbol and the off position ( ).
FOR COOKERS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
The different heat settings are obtained as follows:
- 1 = minimum setting for all hotplates;
- 6 = maximum setting for normal and rapid hotplates (with red disc);
- 0 = off.
Pans must never be smaller in diameter than the hotplates and their
bottoms must be as flat as possible (see fig. 10).
IMPORTANT:
- Never leave hotplates on without pans, except when first used;
leave for about 10 minutes to dry oil or moisture residues;
- if the hotplate is to be out of use for a long time, apply a little
grease to its painted surface;
- do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate, requiring the use of
abrasive cleaners.
HOW TO USE THE GAS OVEN
- After igniting the burner, leave the oven to heat up for about 10
minutes;
- place the food for cooking in an ordinary oven dish and place it
on the chrome-plated shelf;
- place in the oven on the highest possible runners, and turn the
knob pointer to the setting required;
- cooking can be observed through the window in the door with
the oven light on. This will avoid opening and closing the door
frequently, unless oil or fat has to be added to the dish.
N.B.: For cookers without thermostat:
- with the knob on the maximum setting = 280 degrees C
- with the knob on the minimum setting = 150 degrees C
- All other temperatures between 150 and 280 degrees C are
obtained approximately by positioning the knob between the
maximum and minimum settings.
Never leave the knob in positions between the maximum symbol
and the off setting
( )
.
HOW TO USE THE GAS GRILL
- fit the knob guard (see fig. 11);
- light the burner and wait a few minutes to give the burner time to
warm up;
- place the foods on the chrome-plated shelf;
- insert on the highest runner;
- insert the drip tray on the bottom runner;
- gently close the oven door, resting it against the knob guard;
- after a few minutes, turn the food to expose the other side to the
infrared radiation (the cooking time depends on the type of food
and personal taste).
The table below "Food to be grilled" will serve as a guide.
N.B.: the first time the grill is used smoke will come out of the oven.
Before inserting foods for cooking, wait until any oil residues on the
HOW TO USE THE COOKER
VENTILATION
All gas cooking appliances produce heat and moisture in the rooms
where they are installed. Take care to ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated; keep the ventilation openings unobstructed or install
an extractor hood with fan.In case of intensive or prolonged use,
additional ventilation may be required; open a window, or increase
the extractor fan power.
IGNITING THE HOB BURNERS
- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
symbol on the control panel (maximum flame position);
- at the same time, move a burning match towards the burner head;
- to reduce the flame, turn the knob further in the same direction
until its pointer is against the symbol (minimum flame position).
FOR HOB BURNERS EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICE
- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
symbol on the control panel (maximum flame position);
- move a burning match towards the burner, keeping the knob
pressed right down for about 10 seconds;
- then release the knob and check that the burner remains on.
Otherwise, repeat the operation.
IGNITING THE OVEN BURNER
- Open the oven door;
- press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame
position;
- move a burning match towards the hole in the centre of the oven
bottom and press the knob right down (see fig. 8);
- look through the two holes in the sides of the bottom to check that
the burner has ignited, keeping the knob pressed down;
- after about 10 seconds, release the knob and check that the burner
remains on. Otherwise, repeat the operation.
IGNITING THE GRILL BURNER (GAS GRILL)
- Fit the control knob guard as shown in fig. 11;
- press the oven knob and turn it to the right until it reaches the
stop;
- move a burning match towards the perforated burner pipe and
press the knob right down (see fig. 9);
- check that the burner has ignited, keeping the knob pressed down;
- after about 10 seconds, release the knob and check that the burner
remains on. Otherwise, repeat the operation.
SAFETY DEVICE
Burners equipped with this device have the advantage that they
are protected if they accidentally go out. If this occurs, the supply
of gas to the burner concerned is automatically cut off, preventing
the hazards deriving from a leak of unburnt gas. The gas supply
must be cut off within no more than 60 seconds for the oven and
grill burners or 90 seconds for the hob burners.
FOR COOKERS WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION
All the above applies, except that the match is no longer required;
a spark is obtained by pressing the button on the control panel
once or more, or by pressing the knob of the burner to be ignited.
If electronic ignition is difficult with some types of gas, set the knob
on the low (small flame) setting.
- For cookers with electric ignition of the oven and grill burners,
ensure the oven door is completely open when these burners are
ignited;
- Do not operate the ignition device for more than 10 seconds when
igniting the oven and grill burners. If the burner has not lit after
these 10 seconds, stop using the device, leave the door open
and wait one minute before trying again to ignite the burner. If the
ignition device malfunctions again, light the burner with a match
and call the after-sales service.
