DOOR KIT FOR ELECTRIC OVEN (CODE 35791)

Our appliances are in conformity with the EUROPEANS SAFETY REGULATIONS. In order to further protect children from the heat coming from the oven door a special kit, which can be easily applied to the appliance, is available. You can buy the kit in our CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRES; it can be requested stating the number of PRODUCT NO. shown on the working platelet. Instructions for the installationn are enclosed in the packaging.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

INSTALLATION

It is important that all operations are carried out by qualified personnel, in the normal manner. The specific instructions are describred in the chapter on installation. Before using the unit, take off the special protective layer which protects the stainless steel and anodyne tin parts.

USE

Control knobs on the cooker

The knobs for using the gas cooker are found on the control panel. The regulation knobs hould be turned in anti-clockwise direction until the small flame symbol, and vice-versa for the larger symbol.

No gas supply

Maximum gas supply

IGNITION OF HOB BURNERS

To ignite a burner, before positioning the saucepan, use the appropriate switch marked by a small spark, push the corresponding knob in completely and turn in an anticlockwise direction to the maximum position; upon ignition regulate the flame as required.

In models provided with a safety device, the control knob must be pressed in for approximately 5 seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps the flame lit.

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 over-heated, selfignite.

When using the big-rapid burner, place the special grid on the pan support, as shown in fig.2.

Minimum gas supply

Some models are equipped with a safety-valve. In case of extinction of the flame, this device will operate, stopping gas supply (ex.: overflowing, draughts).

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 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.

HOTPLATES

The hotplates control knob can be adjusted on four different positions, according to your cooking needs, from maximun heat (position 4) to minimum heat (position 1), as shown in Fig. 4.

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should have several characteristics:

• they should be fairly heavy duty;

• they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller;

Fig. 4

Fig. 3

• they should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate (see Fig. 5).

This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them.

In models supplied with a cover, if it is made of glass, it should not be closed when the burners are still hot, as it could splinter.
