Using the hob

Control knobs on the front panel

The knobs (Fig. 1)for using the gas hob are found on the
control panel. The regulation knobs should be turned in
three main positions:

l No gas supply

Maximum gas supply

F

Ignition of gas burners

To ignite a burner, before positioning the saucepan:

l Push the Control Knob inwards and turn it

anti-clockwise to its maximum setting keeping the
Control Knob pressed in.

l At the same time, press the electronic ignition button

so as to obtain sparks. Keep the button pressed until
a flame appears (sparks are produced approximately
once per second).

l Models with thermocouple (fig. 2 - D): Once a flame

has appeared, hold the Control Knob pressed in for
around 5 seconds so as to activate the Oven Safety
Device (Thermocouple).

l Should the bumer extinguish, repeat the operation,

maintaining the Control Knob pressed for 15 seconds,
maximum.

l Now adjust the Control Knob to the setting desired.

When lighting the oven manually: Hold a flame
near the burner. Never turn the Control Knob before
approaching the burner with the flame.

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the baffle and its cap are correctly positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position " ".

During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when over­heated, self-ignite.

Recommended 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.

Fig. 3

Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as in Fig. 3.
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.

Using the oven

Gas oven

Models with automatic ignition

l Push the Oven/Grill Control Knob (fig. 4) inwards and

turn it anti-clockwise to its maximum setting (8)
keeping the Control Knob pressed in.

l At the same time, press the electronic ignition button

so as to obtain sparks. Keep the button pressed
until a flame appears (sparks are produced
approximately once per second).

l Once a flame has appeared, hold the Control Knob

pressed in for around 5 seconds so as to activate
the Oven Safety Device (Thermocouple).

In the event of a loss of power, you can light the
oven holding a flame to the oven burner.

Models with manual ignition:

 Open the oven door and hold a flame near the hole in

the bottom as shown in fig. 5;

 push the oven knob in (Fig. 4) and turn it anti-

clockwise until the maximum temperature position is
reached;

l Once a flame has appeared, hold the Control Knob

pressed in for around 5 seconds so as to activate
the Oven Safety Device (Thermocouple).

l Should the bumer extinguish, repeat the operation,

maintaining the Control Knob pressed for 15 seconds,
maximum.

l Now adjust the Control Knob to the setting desired

(see table 1).

The temperature will be maintained constant by the
thermostat.
If a different type of heating is required, for example more
heat on the bottom or the top, you should turn the switch

to the symbols (heat from below) or (heat from
above).

In these conditions the temperature will never exceed
220°C for and 180°C for and will not be regulated

by the thermostat.

When grilling, it is sufficient to turn the switch so that
the sign is in front of the symbol .

When cooking in the oven or grill, in order to
avoid over-heating, always leave the
appliances cover open.

Thermostat control light (°C)

Once the oven temperature has been selected, the
temperature light will come on and remain on until the
oven has reached the correct setting; after that, it will go
on and off with the thermostat, showing how the tempe­rature is being maintained.

Models with oven lamp switch

The oven lamp switch allows you to turn on the oven
internal illumination.

Oven accessories

The oven is supplied with an enamelled dripping pan for
the collection of cooking juices from grilled meat or
kebabs, and a grill for cooking grilled food, which can
also be placed in a dish.
In models equipped with an oven grill with stopper (fig. 8)
and when grilling, to avoid dirtying the oven excessively,
we advise you to insert the dripping pan (A-fig. 8) in the
specific grids, situated under the grill (B-fig.8).
If you need to cook with the dripping pan on the oven
grill, place as shown in Fig. 8.

Cooking with the turnspit (fig. 9)

Some models are equipped with a turnspit (fig. 9). For
correct use, proceed as follows:
 slide the spit into the food to be cooked and secure

well;

 place the spit on the support and slide the whole into

the third runner from the bottom of the oven cavity
(fig. 10);

 insert the end of the spit into the rotisserie motor

housing (the orifice in the wall at the back of the oven

- see fig. 10);
 remove the spit handle;
 turn the oven knob to the grill position or, when

required for some models, turn on the motor by
means of the appropriate switch ( ) placed on the
control panel.

Mod. EK 5301: When cooking with the turnspit
you are advised to leave the oven door half
open and to fit the knob protection shield as
shown in fig. 6.

When using the oven for the
first time

When using the oven for the first time:
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;

b) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45

minutes;

c) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.

This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the grid
and the dripping pan.
