of the oven, re-clean before starting to cook to avoid

unpleasant smoke and also the possibility of these

substances catching fire.

• Ensure that air can circulate around the gas

appliance. Poor ventilation can produce a lack of

oxygen.

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

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).

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, self-

ignite.

When using the big-rapid burner, place the special

grid on the pan support, as shown in fig.2.

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.

Fig. 3

Fig. 5

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;

• 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.

IGNITION

Open the oven door and push and turn the oven knob

(Fig. 6) in an anti-clockwise direction to the maximum

temperature position; at the same time push the

relevant button marked with a small spark. Upon

ignition keep the knob pushed in for about 10-15

seconds.

For manual ignition:

• open the oven door and hold a flame near the hole

in the bottom as shown in fig. 7;

• press the oven knob and turn anti-clockwise until

the maximum temperature position is reached;

• press in the oven knob for approximately 10-15

seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps

the oven burner lit.

If the burner does not light first time, keep the oven

door open and wait 1 minute at least before repeating

the operation. Once the oven has been lit, adjust the

flame as required.

— If the flame should accidentally go out, turn the oven

knob at the "off" position (symbol "●") and wait 1

minute at least before retrying to light the burner.

Ignition of the oven burner must be carried out

with the oven door open.

When cooking with the oven or grill, the cover must

be kept open to avoid over-heating.

To adjust automatically the flame in cookers equipped

with thermostat (Fig. 6), turn the knob to the position

corresponding to the temperature desired, after a few

minutes of work.

The oven is equipped with an enamelled dripping-pan

which function is to collect the juices dripping from the

meat on the grill or on the spit, and a grid for the

cooking of foods on the grill or in a pan.

In models provided with oven grids with a position

catch (fig. 8) and when cooking on the grill or on the

spit, you are advised to fit the dripping-pan (A-fig. 8) in

the guides beneath the grill (B-fig. 8) to avoid dirtying

the oven.

if you need to place the dripping-pan over the oven grid

during cooking, position it as shown in the particular of

Fig. 8.

that the point of the spit is well inserted into the

rotisserie motor housing (fig. 10);

• remove the 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 .

When cooking with the rotisserie you are advised

to leave the oven door half open and to fit the knob

protection shield as shown in fig.11.

grill burner holes, as shown in fig. 9;

• press the oven knob and turn it clockwise until it

points on the Grill symbol ;

• keep the oven knob pushed in for about 5 seconds

until the safety valve automatically keeps the oven
