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* (
see
figure, 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.
If 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:
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.
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

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
