or any position in between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting
device* (
see fi gure ), press the ignition button, marked
with the symbol , then
hold the BURNER knob down
and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the
maximum flame setting, until
the burner is lit.

device*(X), press and hold the BURNER knob for
approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight
and to activate the device.

the stop position •.
Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most
efficient way possible and to save
Start-up and use
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle
specifications”.
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 fi gure ) and press the OVEN
control knob while turning it in an anticlockwise
direction until it reaches the MAX 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.
! 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 minimum with 4 intermediate positions:
a click will indicate the change from one level to
another when turning the knob. The system
guarantees a more precise adjustment, allows
to replicate the flame intensity and to identify
easily the preferred level for different cooking
operations.
