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.
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.
The appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device, press and hold
the BURNER knob for approximately 6 seconds to keep the flame alight and
to activate the device.

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
The hob is fitted with a reducing pan stand (shown figure) which should only
be used on the auxiliary burner ‘
A
’.
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following in mind: All
types of pans can be used on the burners. The important thing is that the
bottom should be completely even.
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.
In order to cool down the temperature of their exterior, some models are
fitted with a cooling fan that comes on when the programme selector knob
is turned. In this case, the fan is always on and a normal flow of air can be
heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: when cooking is done, the fan stays on, even if knob is set to “0”,
until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
In “
Fast cooking
” mode, the fan comes on automatically only when the
oven is hot.
Once you have removed the food from the oven, we recommend you leave
the oven door ajar for a few minutes: this will drastically reduce the duration
of the cooling cycle. The process is controlled by an additional thermostat
and can consist of one or more cycles.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR
knob
.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired
temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT
knob
.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be
found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).
During cooking it is always possible to:
• Change the cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR
knob
.
• Change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT
knob
.
• Stop cooking by turning the
SELECTOR
knob to the “
0
” position.
!
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT
indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when
the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat
is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
