RECOMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
ATTENTION:
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
- Before using the appliance, remember to remove the protective plastic film present on some parts of the appliance (facia-panel, parts in stainless steel, etc.)
- Do not use the appliance for the purpose of heating.
- When the appliance is not in use, we recommend
you unplug it from the mains electricity and shut the gas tap.
IN THE EVENT OF FIRE:
 In the event of fire,
valve of the gas supply, unplug the appliance from the mains. Never, under any circumstances, pour water on burning oil.

containers near the burners, and do not vaporize them near lighted burners.
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF YOUR CHILDREN.
 Do not store items that are attractive to children
above or near the appliance.
 Keep children well away from the appliance: bear
in mind that some parts of the appliance and the pans become dangerously hot during use, and that they take a while to cool down.

COOK-TOP USE
USING THE GAS BURNERS
The following symbols are found on the control panel next to each knob:
- Circle gas off
- Large flame maximum setting
- Small flame minimum setting
The minimum position is at the end of the anti­clockwise rotation of the knob. Knob positions must be set between max. and min.; never set the knobs between max. and off.
MANUAL IGNITION (during mains power failure)
To ignite the burner, press the knob of the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the
maximum
position then light with a match.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION
To ignite the burner, press the knob of the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the
maximum position. Keeping the knob pressed in, the automatic ignition of the burner will operate. In case of power failure, the burner can also be lit using a match.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
 The diameter of the pan bottom should be the same as that of the burner. The burner flame must never exceed the pans diameter.  Use flat-bottomed pans only.  Whenever possible, keep a lid on the pan while cooking. This allows you cook using less heat.  Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with as little water as possible to reduce cooking times.

APPLIANCES WITH SAFETY VALVE
Follow the same procedure described above to ignite the burners. In this case, however, once you have turned the knob to the open setting, hold it pressed in for 10 seconds. If for any reason the burner flame goes out, the safety valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner in question.
USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN
Before the first use of the oven
The first time the oven is used, it may give off smells, these are caused by residues left by the production processes and is quite normal.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation in the room before performing this action.
(It is necessary to heat
up the oven at the maximum temperature for about 30-40 minutes in order to burn off these residues).
It is perfectly normal for the oven to smoke when first used; wait for the smoke to stop before placing food into the oven.
The oven is fitted with: a grill shelf for cooking food in oven dishes or for placing directly on the grill shelf itself, a drip-tray for cooking sweets, biscuits, pizzas, etc., or for collecting juices and fats from food cooked directly on the grill shelf. Note: The following tables provide a guide for cooking some of the most popular dishes. The cooking times recommended in these tables are approximate. After a few attemps, we are sure that you will be able to adjust the times to get the results you want.
ATTENTION: Always use the oven with the oven door closed.

All the functions mentioned above, switch the oven light on. A warning light on the control panel will stay lit until the selected temperature is reached; after it will light up intermittently.
Use of the oven The appliance must be used with the oven door closed.
Note: ovens with separate thermostat and function selectors. When the functions are used, place the thermostat knob between 180 - 200°C as maximum temperature.
Fan oven
Both the fan and the circular heating element operate together. The hot air is adjustable between 60 and MAX°C and is evenly distributed inside the oven. This is ideal for cooking several types of food (meat, fish etc) at the same time without affecting taste and smell. It is ideal for delicate pastries.
Medium grill (
turnspit)
It is ideal for grilling and gratinating small quantities of traditional food. The thermostat knob must be placed on the maximum position.
Full grill (
turnspit)
It is ideal for grilling and gratinating traditional food. Set the thermostat control knob to the 200°C position.

Thermal grilling
The air which is heated by the grill element is circulated by the fan which distributes the heat on the food. The fan assisted grill function can replace the need to use the rotisserie. You can obtain very good results also with large quantities of poultry, sausage, red meat. Set the thermostat control knob to the 200°C position.
Air forced lower heating element
The air which is heated by the lower heating element is circulated by the fan which distributes the heat on the food . This function can be used between 60° and MAX°C.
