Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.

During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be
stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also
become hot, therefore care should be taken when
removing these items from the drawer whilst the
oven is in use or still hot.

The Gas Burner Controls

Control knobs on the front panel

The knobs for using the gas hob of the cooker are found
on the control panel. The regulation knobs could 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

To light a burner:

!

1. push the relevant control knob in completely
and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum position

( ).

2. then, check the flame is regular and adjust it
as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero,
and try again.

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned
(see figure 2 - letter A and B).

To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position """.

When lighting the hob manually: Hold a flame near
the burner. Never turn the control knob before
approaching the burner with the flame.

When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

Using the Hob

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 pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as shown in figure 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.

Once the pre-set time has elapsed, a signal will be heard
which automatically cuts out. The oven, however, will
remain on.

The Safety Thermostat

This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequential
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
