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 (cm)
Fast (R)
24 - 26
Semi Fast (S)
16 - 20
Auxiliary (A)
10 - 14
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle
specifications”.

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 appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting
device* (
X), press the
ignition button, marked
with the symbol
1
, then
hold the BURNER knob
down and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction,
towards the maximum
flame setting, until the
burner is lit.The burner may be extinguished 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 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*(C), 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 •.
!
For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter
must be used only for the auxiliary burner, when
pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.
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.
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 THERMOSTAT 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
THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to
the “0” position.
!
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
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 and switches off alternately,
indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long
as the oven is operating. By selecting
with the
knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.
