The front control panel has one or two lights, depending on whether the oven is gas or electric.
If the cooker has a gas oven a green light will illuminate when a heated accessory is turned on
(ELECTRIC PLATES, ROTISSERIE, ELECTRIC GRILL). If the cooker has an electric oven,
there is a green light and also a yellow light, which turns on and off when the THERMOSTAT
cuts in to regulate the oven temperature.
3.1. USING THE COOKING HOB
Gas burners
Automatic electronic ignition built into the knob
: turn the knob to the maximum position
push it in and the burner lights up automatically.

Minimum gas supply
To obtain minimum supply, turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction until the indicator points
to the small flame
.
Safety device
: once the burner is on, keep the knob pressed for at least
5 seconds and then release it. The burner remains alight due to the
thermocouple that keeps the gas flow by means of a safety valve, which
shuts off the gas flow should the burner go out accidentally.
Burner performance
: a variety of pans with a minimum
diameter of 120 mm can be used on the “medium and
small” burners. The pans must not have concave or
convex bottoms, but be perfectly flat as shows in figure. For optimum
performance, use the saucepans shown in figure, i.e. the flames must not stay
beyond the bottom of the pan. When a liquid starts boiling, lower the flame as
much as possible, but keep it on the boil. For safety reasons, we recommend
using pans with the following diameters on the various burners(see tables).
For emergency reasons we recommended he following pots with diameters to
overlap to the burners: auxiliary, semi-rapid, rapid, triple ring, fish burner.

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 diameter 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
