USE
Control knobs for the gas burners (Fig. 1)
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.
If the flame accidentaly goes out, turn the knob to the position “ ”, and wait at least 1 minute before tr ying to light the flame again.
WARNING: if you cannot light the flame even after several attempts , do not insist neither attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Call the nearest Technical Assistance Centre.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a clockwise direction to the position " ".
No gas supply
Maximum gas supply Minimum gas supply
All models are equipped with a safety-valv e . In case of extinction of the flame, this de vice will operate, stopping gas supply (ex.: overflowing, draughts).
IGNITION OF HOB BURNERS
T o ignite a b urner, 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, the control knob must be pressed in for approximately 5 seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps the flame lit. Then regulate the flame as required.
If after a few attempts the b urner does not ignite, check that the baffle and its cap are correctly positioned.
In the event of a loss of po wer , y ou can light the burner approaching it with a flame and following the instructions provided above.
During cooking, when using fats or oils, take particular care as they can, when over-heated, self­ignite.
When using pots or pans with diameter over 200 mm. on the big-rapid burner, place the special grid on the pan support, as shown in fig.2.

HOTPLATES
POTTERY
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. 3.
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 ha v e a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate.
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.
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 f or 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 pans with the right diameter to fit the burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing gas consumption as in Fig. 4. 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.

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. Excessiv e 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. Howe ver , 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 par tial overheating as it allows sufficient thermic compensation. Avoid v ery 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 preferab le to use the central guides. If cooking requires more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or lower guides.
ADVICE FOR USE OF THE TRADITIONAL OVEN
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. W ait 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 f ormation 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 inser ted to collect juice. Ingredients for gra vy should only be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they should be added during the last half hour.
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 giv e the meat is cook ed. 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.
For the cooking of fish:
Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperatu­re. Cook medium-siz ed 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 .

Page 10
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 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 surf ace 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. F ruit should not be placed too near the source of heat.
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, p yrex dishes , aluminium foil or other on the base of the oven when the oven is in use. A stagnation of heat w ould result which would com­promise the results of cooking and could damage the oven enamel.

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 w ool 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. T ak e 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.
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. Y ou 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 acces-sories (grate, grid­plate 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The unit is preset to work with a voltage of single phase 230 V. Connection must be carried out in compliance with the rules in force. 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 ear th through a suitable plug and according to the installation country Laws;
- the socket or the omnipolar switch used for the connection are easily accessible after the appliance has been positioned.
Fit a proper plug on the connection cable. The plug has to be able to withstand the load and be connected to an adequate socket. If you want a direct connection to the mains, you must 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 cable 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 cable need to be replaced, only type H05RR-F cables must be used and the yellow/green earth wire must be about 2cm longer than the live and neutral ones (Fig. 25). After the connection, test the heating elements for about 3 minutes to ensure that they are working correctly.

WHAT TO DO IF THE APPLIANCE DOESN'T WORK
If the appliance doesn't work properly check the following points before asking for service:
The flow of gas seems abnormal
Make sure that: — the flame speader holes are not obstructed; — the pressure regulator is working; — the bottle valve is completely open.
Gas smell in the room
Make sure that: — the gas valve is not open; — the gas supply tube is well positioned and in good
condition; remember to replace it at least once a year .
The oven doesn't heat
— Make sure that the oven knobs are in the correct
worrking positions.
Cooking time is too long
— Chec k that the temperature is correct for the type of
food to be cooked.
The cooker produces smoke
— W e advise you to clean the ov en after use. Splashes
of fat can occur during the cooking of meat and, if the oven isn't cleaned properly , these produce smoke and bad smell. (see parag raph concerning cleaning).
The oven lamp doesn't work
— The lamp has burnt out. To replace it follow the
instructions given in the relative paragraph.
If, after f ollowing all the above chec ks the appliance still doesn't work, call your nearest Service Centre givin them all the necessary information, such as model and serial number of the appliance.
Never look for an escape of gas with a match; use instead soap and water.
