MAINTENANCE
GREASING TAPS OR THERMOSTATS
If a tap or thermostat becomes stiff to operate, it
must be greased as follows:
-
Shut off the mains gas tap;
-
remove the burners, unscrew the side screws to
free the hob and lift it;
-
undo the two screws at the side to free the hob
and lift it;
-
undo the two screws which fix the tap body C;
-
remove the pin and the spring D and extract the
cone E with the aid of a pair of pliers;
-
clean the cone and its seat thoroughly with a rag
soaked in solvent;
-
grease the cone slightly with the appropriate
grease, put it back in place and turn it a few
times;
-
remove the cone again and wipe off any excess
grease, checking that the gas passage holes are
not blocked;
-
reassemble all parts carefully. (See Fig.16)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOB BURNERS
Electric Ignition (burners fitted with safety ther-
mocouple):
Press the corresponding knob down and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum setting, the ignition
switch is incorporated in the knobs. Keep the knob
pressed for about 15 seconds. (See Fig.19).
CAUTION:
If the burner does not ignite within 15
seconds, wait at least 1 minute before repeating the
procedure. Once the burner has lit, set the flame
power to requirements, ensuring that the knob is
between the maximum and minimum settings, and
never between the maximum setting and zero posi-
tion.
SWITCHING ON THE GRILL ELEMENT:
Press the corresponding switch marked with the
Grill symbol. This switches on the grill element, a
pilot light and the rotisserie motor.
The grill element can only be switched on with the
oven burner off. (A safety switch prevents the use
of the two different heat sources simultaneously).
CAUTION:
When the grill is working the accessible
parts may become very hot. Keep children well
away.
CHANGING THE OVEN LAMP
-
disconnect the appliance from the electrical
mains;
-
unscrew the protective cap 0 which projects into
the oven;
-
unscrew the lamp and replace it with another of
the same power and resistant to high tempera-
tures (300
o
C);
-
replace the cap, fitting the notches in the tangs N,
and screw down (See Fig.17).
REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR
Open the oven door, on the hinge there is a hook,
rotate this hook towards the cooker as as much as
possible. Fig 18a shows the hook in the normal posi-
tion, Fig 18b shows the hook rotated for removing
the oven door. Partially close the door and pull
away from the cooker. To reassemble follow the
same procedure in the reverse order.
USING THE ROTISSERIE
Impale the food for cooking on the rotisserie spit,
taking care that it is secured between the two forks
(A and B), and balancing the weight to avoid forcing
the motor unnecessarily. (Fig.24)
HOBS (Gas burners and electric
hotplates)
To ignite the gas burners, follow the instructions
given in the HOB BURNERS section.
The electric hotplates are switched on by turning the
knob to the setting required. A diagram showing the
relations between the knobs and hotplates is screen
printed on the front panel beside each knob.
The hotplate switch has 5 positions:
- 0 - OFF position
- 1 - MINIMUM power setting
- 2 - MEDIUM-LOW power setting
- 3 - MEDIUM-HIGH power setting
- 4 - MAXIMUM power setting (Fig.25)
When switching on a hotplate for the first time, or if
it has been out of use for a long period, operate it
without a pan on setting 1 for 3 minutes to eliminate
any moisture absorbed by the insulation. To avoid
wasting energy, use flat bottomed pans and do not
use pans smaller in diameter than the hotplates.
(See Fig.26).
