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.

End of cooking digital programmer (Fig. 17)

In some models it has the function of switching off the oven at the end of pre-selected cooking time. The programmer has an electric clock which shows the time of day and a timer with an acoustic signal. Fig. 17 illustrates the programmer’s commands; switches A and B carry out the necessary regulations foreseen, as follows:

Switch A

Turned in a clockwise direction allows to adjust the time shown on the digital clock (at the time of installation, after electricity cuts, to advance or turn back, etc.).

Switch B

Turned in a clockwise direction sets:

- the length of cooking time (max. 210 minutes);

- interruption of the acoustic signal (position );

- manual operation (position ). The above signals appear on face C.

Programmed operation of the oven

- Prearrange the food to be cooked;

turn switch B in a clockwise direction and preset the minutes presumed for the end of cooking on switch C;

- turn the oven switch to the temperature required. At the end of the pre-set time an acoustic signal will be

heard; to switch it off, turn knob B to symbol visible on face C, corresponding to the mark on the face itself.

Manual operation

The oven can be used normally, i.e. without any programme. In such case, switch B of the programmer should be turned in a clockwise direction until symbol coincides with the mark on face C.

SUGGESTIONS FOR GAS BURNERS

Start your cooking with a big flame by turning the knob to the symbol . Then adjust the flame as necessary.

The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside (nucleus). Accordingly , the top of the flame should lick the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames mean a waste of gas. In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not require flat-bottomed pans: the flames lick the bottom and spread the heat all over the surface. No special pans are required for gas burners. However, thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the food more quickly than thick-walled ones.

Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's bottom, the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it is advisable to stir the food many times. A thick pan bottom prevents partial overheating as it allows sufficient thermic compensation. Avoid very small pans. Wide and shallow pans are more suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow a faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by placing narrow pans on wide burners. The result is just a waste of gas. For a proper usage, place small pans on small burners and large pans on large burners. Remember to cover pans to reduce gas consumption.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPERATING OF OVEN

Traditional cooking

Heat derives from the top and the bottom, it is therefore preferable to use the central guides. If cooking requires more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or lower guides.

Convection cooking

Heat is transmitted to food through pre-heated air and is forcibly circulated inside the oven by a fan positioned on the back of the oven itself. In this way heat quickly and uniformly reaches all parts of the oven thus cooking various foods placed on more than one shelf. With this type of cooking the elimination of humidity from the air and a drier environment prevent the transmission and mixture of smells and tastes. The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf allows many various dishes to be prepared at the same time, and up to three trays of biscuits or mini-pizzas to be consumed immediately or to be frozen. The oven can, however, be used for cooking on only one shelf. In such case use the lower guides in order to observe cooking better. Furthermore, this oven is especially convenient for quick defreezing, sterilizing preserves, homemade fruit in syrup and finally to dry mushrooms or fruit.

Cooking with the multi-function oven

With this type of oven it is possible to carry out cooking traditionally, by convection, and by grill; it therefore allows cooking to be optimized.

ADVICE FOR USE OF THE TRADITIONAL OVEN (GAS OR ELECTRIC)

For the cooking of cakes

Pre-heat the oven , unless indicated differently, for at least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven door when cooking dishes which must raise (e.g.

raised pastries and soufflés); the jet of cold air would block the raising process. To check if cakes are cooked, insert a toothpick into the mixture; if it comes out clean the cake is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has passed before doing this check. As a general rule remember that: a dish which is well-cooked on the outside but not sufficiently cooked inside would have required a lower temperature and longer cooking time. On the contrary, a “dry” texture would have required a shorter time and higher cooking temperature.

For the cooking of meat

Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kilo to avoid its becoming too dry. If you want roasts with a good colour, use very little oil. If the piece is lean, use oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are on the other hand unnecessary if the piece has a strip of fat. If the piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in the oven with this side upwards; when melting the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently. Red meat should be removed from the fridge one hour before cooking otherwise the sudden change of temperature could cause it to become tough. A roast, especially if of red meat, must not be salted at the beginning of cooking as salt causes juices and blood to seep out of the òmeat, thus preventing the formation of a well-browned crust. It is advisable to salt the outside of the meat after just over half the cooking time. Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim; a deep dish shields heat. Meat can be placed on an ovenproof dish or directly on the grill, under which the dripping pan will be inserted to collect juice. Ingredients for gravy should only be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they should be added during the last half hour.

Page 12

Begin cooking rare meat at a high temperature, reducing the temperature to finish cooking the inside. The cooking temperature for white meat can be moderate throughout. The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing the meat with a fork; if it does not give the meat is cooked. At the end of cooking it is advisable to wait at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices are not lost. Before serving plates can be kept warm in the oven at minimum temperature.

should be positioned in the guides nearest or furthest from the grill element according to the thickness of the meat, in order to avoid burning the surface and cooking the inside insufficiently. The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and fat can be avoided by pouring l or 2 glasses of water into the dripping pan. The grill can also be used to brown, toast bread and grill certain types of fruit, such as bananas, halved grapefruit, slices of pineapple, apples, etc. Fruit should not be placed too near the source of heat.

For the cooking of fish:

Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperature. Cook medium-sized fish initially at a high temperature and then gradually lower the temperature. Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start to finish. Check that baked fish is cooked by gently lifting one side of the gut; the meat must be white and opaque throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout or similar.

Grilling

The following types of meat are suitable for grilling. Mostly meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of various sizes, but not usually very thick, poultry cut in half and flattened, fish, some vegetables (e.g. courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, etc.), skewers of meat or fish and seafood. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed with oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be salted upon completion of cooking; whereas fish should be salted on the inside before cooking. The grill

Cooking times

Cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its consistency and its volume. It is advisable to watch when cooking for the first time and check results since when preparing the same dishes, in the same conditions, similar results are obtained. The “TABLE OF COOKING TIMES” relating to cooking in the oven and by grill is provided as a guide. Experience will show possible variations to the values set out in the table.

Nevertheless carefully follow the indications given in the receipe you intend to follow.

Attention: do not place any utensils such as dripping

pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex dishes, aluminium foil or other on the base of the oven when the oven is in use. A stagnation of heat would result which would compromise the results of cooking and could damage the oven enamel.

Page 13

TIPS ON COOKING WITH MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRIC OVEN

Traditional cooking

Heat is conveyed both from the top and bottom of the oven; thus, it is advisable to put the pot in the central shelves position. When a higher heat is required either from the top or bottom, put the pot in an upper or lower position.

Suggestions for traditional baking How to bake cakes

Cooking of cakes require a moderate temperature (usually ranging between 150/200°C) and a 10-minute pre-heating of the oven. The door should not be opened during the first 3/4 of the whole baking time. Beaten up dough should be firm enough to avoid a longer baking time. When cakes and canapees are arranged simultaneously on 3 shelves, a runner should be skipped between the 2 lower shelves (see Fig. 18).

How to cook meat and fish

Meat should weigh at least 1 kg to avoid excessive drying. Very soft red meats, to be left rare or only welldone on the outside while keeping their juices, require a short but high temperature (200-250°C). White meat, fowl and fish require a low temperature (150-170°C). Ingredients for the gravy should be added to the baking pan only in the last half hour, unless cooking time is very short.

The baking point of meat can be checked by pressing a spoon against the meat. If it feels firm it is properly cooked, Roastbeef and sirloin require a short cooking time, as thier insides must keep their redness. Meat can either be placed an a suitable baking pan or directly on the grid under which the plate is to be inserted to collect the juices. When baking time is over it is advisable to wait at least 15 minutes before slicing the meat to avoid any spilling of juices. Dishes can be kept warm in the oven at the lowest temperature, before being served.

Grilling

Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable for thin meat, toast.

Tips on grill cooking

Almost all kind of meat can be cooked with grill, except for some game lean meat and meat loaves. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed with oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be salted upon completion of cooking; whereas fish should be salted on the inside before cooking. The grill should be positioned in the guides nearest or furthest from the grill element according to the thickness of the meat, in order to avoid burning the surface and cooking the inside insufficiently. The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and fat can be avoided by pouring l or 2 glasses of water into the dripping pan.

MAINTENANCE

Before each operation, disconnect the unit.

Cleaning the cooker

Drops of sauce, fruit juice etc., should be removed as soon as possible with a soft cloth soaked in warm detergent water. Do not use steel wool or knives to take off layers of crust. Remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad, but care must be taken not to scratch the enamel. Wash the enamelled grids with water and detergent; these can also be washed a dishwasher. Take off the burner covers and the grids and wash them carefully with warm water and detergent. Dry them well before putting them back in position. Moreover, make sure that these are properly re-placed. The burner can be rubbed with steel wool or a slightly abrasive cloth. Clean the oven door and crystal cover, in models equipped with these items, only with warm water, and avoid the use of rough cloths or abrasive substances; in cookers with an automatic ignition the sparkling bulb should be cleaned periodically and accurately to avoid difficulties in lighting; furthermore check that the burner holes are not obstructed.

inside the holder itself; otherwise there is the chance to install inside the holder, instead of the cylinder, (on request) a set of grills and containers, converting the cylinder holder into a comfortable closet.

Oven lamp replacement (Fig. 19)

Disconnect the appliance. Unscrew the lamp and substitute it with another fitting for a higher tempera- ture (300°C) with the folowing characteristics: Tension: 230 V (50Hz) Power: 15W Convection: E14

Cleaning the oven

Clean carefully the oven cavity after use when it is still warm. In fact, at this moment it is easy to take off deposits of fat or other substances such as fruit juice, sugar particles or fat. You can use warm detergent water or one of the appropriate spray oven cleaners. Do not direct the spray at the mat steel parts as this could damage them and always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the oven accessories (grate, grid-plate etc.) with warm water and detergent. Remove possible incrustations with a slightly abrasive powder.

Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil. It would result in an accumulation of heat which might damage the cooking results and also damage the enamel.

Controls - Sundries

Periodically check the condition of the flexible pipe of gas connection and make it replaced by skilled technicians as soon as it shows abnormalities. Annual replacement is recommended. Have the cocks periodically lubricated by skilled technicians. In case of unusual working have the range checked by skilled technicians. In ranges with cylinder holder, do not use this space to leave a non-connected or an empty cylinder.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The unit is preset to work with a voltage of single phase 230 V. Before making the connection make sure that: the energy power available in the user's house is sufficient for the normal supply of this appliance (see rating plate). The unit is correctly connected to earth through a suitable plug and according to the installation country Laws. The socket or the omnipolar switch used for the connection must be easilv reached with the installed appliance. The appliance is supplied without electric cord: consequently, you have to install a plug fit for the load shown in the serial number plate. The plug has to be connected to an adequate socket. If you wish to directly connect to the mains, you have to interpose an omnipolar switch with a minimum opening between contacts of 3 mm, between the unit and the mains, complying with the existing regulations. The brown live wire (originating from the clamp of the cooker junction box) must always be connected to the phase of the mains supply. In any case, the supply cord must be positioned in such a way as it doesn't reach in any point a temperature higher by 50°C than the room temperature. Should the supply cord need to be replaced, it is necessary that the yellow/green earth wire is about 2cm longer than the live and neutral ones (Fig. 40). After the connection, test the heating elements for about 3 minutes to ensure that they are working correctly.
