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
fi gure
), press the ignition button,
marked with the symbol
, then
hold the BURNER knob down
and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the maximum
flame setting, until the burner
is lit.The burner may be extinguished when the knob is
released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, 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 •.
Electric hotplates*
The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or
anti-clockwise and set to six different positions:
When the selector knob is in any position other than the
off position, the ‘on’ light comes on.
*
Only available in certain models.
Flame adjustment according to levels
the burner flame intensity can be adjusted with the knob
according to 6 power levels, from maximum to minimum
with 4 intermediate positions:
a click will indicate the change from one level to another
when turning the knob. The system guarantees a more
precise adjustment, allows to replicate the flame intensity
and to identify easily the preferred level for different
cooking operations.
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 that have a lid and a flat
base are used. They should also be suited to the size of
the burner:
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams
contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.
!
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.
Using the oven
!
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.
!
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
!
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
