Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a full 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* (
C), press the
BURNER knob and turn it in
an anticlockwise direction,
towards the minimum 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.
f the appliance is equipped with a flame failure
safety device (X), press and hold the BURNER knob
for approximately 3-7 seconds to keep the flame
alight and to activate the device.

If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off
the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before
attempting to relight it.
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:

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.
!
Should the appliance be equipped with an
electronic programmer*, to use the electric oven, just
press buttons
and
at the same time (the
symbol will appear on the display) before
selecting the desired cooking function.
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.
