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 should be turned in anti­clockwise direction until the small flame symbol, and
vice-versa for the larger symbol.

No gas supply

Maximum gas supply
Minimum 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.

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.

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. 2.
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.

GAS OVEN

IGNITION

• Open the oven door and hold a flame near the hole
in the bottom as shown in fig. 2;

• push the oven knob in (Fig. 3) and turn it anti­clockwise until the maximum temperature position
is reached;

• keep the oven knob pressed in 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.
To adjust automatically the flame, turn the oven knob
to the position corresponding to the temperature
desired, after a few minutes of work.

If the oven burner accidentaly goes out, turn the oven
knob to the position "●", and then wait at least 1 mi­nute before trying to light the oven burner again.

When cooking with the oven, the lid must be kept
open to avoid over-heating.

• During the first minutes of use, the thermal insulation
of the oven, and residual grease from manufacture,
produce smoke and disagreeable smells. On first
use, we advise heating the oven, empty, for
approximately 45 minutes. Then leave to cool and
clean the inside of the oven with hot water and a mild
detergent.

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. 4) and when cooking on the grill or on the
spit, you are advised to fit the dripping-pan (A-fig. 4) in
the guides beneath the grill (B-fig. 4) 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. 4.

ELECTRIC STATIC GRILL

FO 1079

In the models with gas oven press and turn the knob
clockwise until the stop position is reached , at the
same time the grill light will come on.

Place the dripping pan under the wire shelf so as to
prevent fat from dripping on the bottom of the oven.

In the models with electric oven it is necessary,
while the grill is in function, to leave the door half­open and to put the protective screen to the knob
(fig. 6 and 7).
