Hints and Tips for using the Hob
Pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as shown in the picture.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.
The minute minder will mark the end of a timed period with
an acoustic alarm. The maximum timing is 120 minutes.
To set the minute minder:
1. Select the desired cooking function with the
oven function control knob.
2. Turn the minute minder control knob clockwise
until the 120-minute position and then back to
the required time.
3. Once the pre-set time has elapsed, an acoustic
signal will be heard and the oven will
automatically switch off.
Turn the minute minder control knob to the
position and the oven function and thermostat
control knobs to OFF position.
The Minute Minder
Turn the minute minder control knob to the
position if you want to cook without setting a timed
period.
