The appliance burners are to be equipped with safety thermocouples. This thermocouple is
part of the flame failure device (FFD). A FFD is designed to stop flammable gas going to the
burner if the flame is extinguished. This is to prevent a dangerous build up of gas around
the appliance.
In the case of burners which equipped with FFD, press and turn the corresponding burner
knob counter clockwise to the “maximum“ position. Automatically the ignition sparks on,
keep pressing the knob until the burner is lighted up. After the burner is lit, keep the knob
pressed for about 10 seconds to allow the safety thermocouples to warm up. By any case
after 10 seconds and the burner fails to light up, it means the safety thermocouple is not
heated sufficiently. Repeat the process.
Optimum Use of the Burners
To get the maximum yield with minimum gas consumption, please keep the following
points in mind:
•
Once the burner is lit, adjust the flame according to your needs.
•
Use an appropriate pan and with flat bottom for each burner (see the table and figure
below).
•
When the pan content starts to boil, turn the knob down to “Reduced rated position”
(small flame).
•
Always put a lid on the pan.

Using the Electric Oven
Various cooking functions can be set by selecting different heating elements and
temperature setting.
Oven Cooking Functions
Defrosting- the fan switches on without any heating. Food defrosting time is cut by
about 1/3.
Static convection mode (conventional cooking) - heat supplied from top and bottom
heating elements. The oven must be preheated before food is placed inside. Static convection
is ideal for cooking:
-
Pastry (dry-thin)
-
Pizzas
-
Bread
