Start-up and use
Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete 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
.
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 , the
maximum setting or any position in between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting
device* (see figure), press the BURNER knob
and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards
the minimum flame setting, until the burner is
lit. The burner might be extinguished when the
knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the
process, holding the knob down for a longer
period of time.
!
If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for
at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*, press and hold
the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight
and to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position ●.
The “separate double flame” burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can operate either
together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a very high power
which reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more uniform distribution of heat
on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to its full potential,
never set the inside ring to minimum and the outside ring to maximum
at the same time.
Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the smaller pots and
pans we recommend the use of only the internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the “separate double flame”
burners.
The knob marked by the symbol
operates the external burner;
The knob marked by the symbol operates the internal burner.
To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way and turn it
anti-clockwise to the high setting .
The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when
the knob is pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety device
, after lighting the burner
keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which
keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding knob, as
follows:
●
Off
Maximum
Minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops
(when reaches the “●” 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 which have a lid
and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

Burner
Ø Cookware diameter (cm)
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the
paragraph entitled “Burner and nozzle specifications”.
!
Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob while it is being used.
!
For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must be used only for
the auxiliary burner, when pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.
WARNING!
The glass lid can break in if it is
heated up. Turn off all the burners and the
electric plates before closing the lid. Applies
to the models with glass cover only.
Using the oven
WARNING !
The oven is provided
with a stop system to extract the
racks and prevent them from coming
out of the oven (1).
As shown in the drawing, to extract
them completely, simply lift the racks,
holding them on the front part, and
pull (2).
!
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the
appliance.
!
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.
Setting the clock
!
The clock may be set when the oven is switched off or when it is switched
on, provided that a the end time of a cooking cycle has not been programmed
previously.
1. Press the button several times until the
icon and the first two digits
on the display start to flash.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust the hour value.
