- After use, and to ensure good preservation, the plate should be treated with normal products for electric hot plates
that are available in the market so that the surface is always clean; this operation will prevent any corrosion (rust).
- After they are used, the plates remain hot for a long time; therefore, do not place the hands or other objects on the
plate to avoid burns.
- When using the burners, make sure that the handles of the pots are correctly positioned. Keep children away from the
appliance.
- When cooking foods with oil and fat, which are very flammable, the user should remain near the appliance.
WARNING: As soon as a crack appears on the surface of the hot plate, immediately turn off the appliance.
USING THE GAS OVEN (SINGLE CONTROL)
GAS OVEN:
All the gas oven cookers are equipped with a thermostat and safety device to adjust the cooking temperature. The oven
temperature is set by turning the knob counterclockwise to match the indicator with the temperature selected. The gas oven can
be combined with a gas grill or an electric grill. See the specific pages for use information.
FAN GAS OVEN:
Operating the fan of the oven by means of the appropriate switch situated on the control panel, the circulation of warm air
guarantees a uniform heat distribution. The preheating of the oven can be avoided. However for delicate baking, it is preferable
to warm the oven before introducing the baking-pan. The baking system with the fan convection changes in part the various
traditional baking notions. When roasting meat it is not necessary to turn the meat any more and for a roast on the spit, it is not
indispensable to use the spit-roaster, but is sufficient to put the meat directly on the grate.
With the use of the fan gas oven, the baking temperatures are slightly lower of about 10-15°C compared to those in use with the
traditional gas oven. The fan operation of the oven prevents the operation of the grill, which therefore cannot be used with the
fan in action.
The oven can also be used in a traditional way, (by not activating the fan) for foods requiring heat from the bottom, e.g. pizza.
WARNING: If the burner flames are extinguished accidentally, turn off the control knob and do not try to relight the
oven until after at least 1 minute.

The oven burner can be ignited in different ways:
- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off):
To light the oven, open the oven door and turn the knob so the no. 8 on the scale matches the indicator (fig.22A-22B-22C-22D).
At the same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level (fig.23). Then press the thermostat knob
(this makes the gas start to flow) and keep it pressed, after the burner has been completely lit, for 10 seconds. Release the
knob and make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
- Electric ignition (only for the models equipped with this device):
In this case, first open the oven door, then press and turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting (number 8). Then press
the thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit and then
release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation. As for cookers without ignition trough
knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been
completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
The ignition device should not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after that period the burner still has not been lit, do
not use the device and open the door of the room or wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the oven again.
WARNING: when trying to light the oven, the door must always be open. When using the oven, leave the cooker cover
open to prevent it from overheating.
NOTICE: when using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature of about 250°
without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the internal insulation.
During normal oven use, after lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes before putting in
any food to preheat the oven.The oven is equipped with 5 guides (FIG.24) at different heights which can be used to insert
shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has
been inserted inside the tray.
