Electric plates
The first time the plate is turned on or if it has not been used for a long time, it should be turned
on and left on for 30 minutes in position 1 on the selector switch in order to dry out any humidity
absorbed by the insulating cover.
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plate, use flat bottomed pans that have the same dia-
meter as the plate, no more no less. Dry the bottom of the pan before putting it on the plate.
When the plate is on, never stand an empty pan on it, or leave the plate on without a pan. Turning
the plates on – centre the pan on the plate and turn the corresponding knob to the required position
(see Table 2). The increasing numbers indicate greater power.
5.2 Oven performance
Gas oven
The oven burner must always be ignited with
the oven door open.
All Lofra cookers are fitted with valve
thermostats which not only regulate the
temperature inside the oven, but also stop the
gas flow should the burner go out accidentally,
thus avoiding leakage of unburned gas.
For the best results, we recommend preheating
the oven for 10+15 minutes before putting the
food in.
he oven door should be opened as little as
possible in order to avoid any rapid changes in
oven temperature, which may compromise the
cooking results.
Ignition – open the oven door, press and turn
the oven knob (symbol
) in an anti-clockwise
direction to the maximum position. The burner
can be ignited with press into the knob.
When the burner alights, keep the knob well
pressed in for 5+10 seconds and then release it.
The burner stay alight by heating the
thermocouple that opens the safety valve and
keeps the gas flowing.
After carrying out these operations, close the
oven door and turn the knob to the required
temperature.
The automatic ignition device (electronic ignition
built into the knob) must not be activated for
more in 15 seconds. If the burner does not
ignite after this time, release the knob and wait
for at least one minute before trying to ignite
the burner again. In some models, a special
safety device discharges electricity so that the
burner only ignites when the door is open.
Electric ovens
STATIC OVENS: heat produced inside the oven
by electric elements fitted in the top (sky) and
bottom (base) of the oven; these elements can
work together or independently. This gives
more even cooking, for example when the
cooking time is almost up, the food may need
more heat at the top or the bottom.
The temperature is kept constant by the
