- Always turn pan handles to the side or to the back of the
hob. If they are left out into the room they can easily be hit
or reached by children, knocking the pan off the hob.
- Don’t let children sit down or play with the oven door. Do
not use the drop down door as a stool to reach above
cabinets.
- Once
your cooking is over make sure to close the main gas
supply.
Always use pans with a flat base diameter, which are
well balanced and stable in use, a pan which
overhangs the hotplate should not be used. Avoid using old,
misshapen pans, or pans which are unstable when placed
on a flat surface. Do not use “split pans” as they are
inherently unstable.
To save gas, always position pans
centrally over the burners and adjust the flames so that they
do not lick up the sides of the pan and only the base is
heated. Always put lids on saucepans and boil only the
amount of liquid you
need
. When the liquid has boiled
adjust the setting to maintain a simmer. Do not light the
burner until the pan is in position and turn off the burner
before removing the pan. In hard water areas, descale
kettles regularly. For safety, keep saucepan handles turned
to a safe position so they are out of reach of small
children and cannot be accidentally knocked.
To the burner OFF, turn the control knob clockwise to the
OFF setting (marked with a dot )

Please read the rest of the instruction book which contains
important information to help you use the appliance safely
and efficiently.
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the
appliance is plugged in and switched on. The ignitor needs
electricity.
In case there is no electric current, the burner can also be
li
t
using a match.
It is recommended that pans suitable to the size of the burner
should be used as follows:
Automatic electric ignition
To turn on a burner, press the knob corresponding to the
selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum
position. Keeping the knob pressed, the electric automatic
ignition of the burner will be started up. In case there is
not electric current, the burner can also be li
t
using a match.
The small flame indicates the ‘low position’.
Turn the knob to it after the contents of a pan have boiled.
The smaller burners are for smaller pans and simmering.
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.
WARNING
It is not recommended to press push button for ignition if all
the burners are not located in the proper positions. The burner
heads, burner skirts and pan supports are removable for
better cleaning: Always ensure that the burner skirts and
heads are replaced correctly so that the burners function
safely and correctly.
During the use of the appliance pay attention that water or any
liquid does not enter into the appliance through the holes of
the burners or around the rods of the valves or the push button
electronic lighter.
Water or juice will produce dangerous short-circuits and can
seriously damage the working of the Hotplate.
HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN
MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
The oven is fitted with:
• a lower heating element;
• an upper heating element;
• a circular heating element surrounding the fan.
N.B.: Always set the temperature on the thermostat knob
before selecting any of the functions.
- Before cooking in the first time we reccommend that the
oven should be operated at 200° C for 30 minutes to
remove any manufacturing greases and odours.
- Do not place items or pan directly on to the oven botton.
- Foil should only be used to cover food and not oven shelves
or part of the oven. When used improperly will obstruct the
air circulation causing problems in cooking and/or harmful
accidents.
