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

To light a burner:

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

( );

2. upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the safety device ("thermocouple" - see figure 2, letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted;

3. 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 (see figure 2, letter A and B) are correctly positioned.

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

Fig. 1

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 the picture. 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.

Electric Oven

Oven function and thermostat control knobs (Fig. 4)

They enable to select the most appropriate type of heating for the different cooking requirements by appropriately connecting the heating elements and adjusting temperature to the required level.

Conventional cooking - The heat comes from

both the top and bottom element, ensuring even heating inside the oven.

Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and

bake simoultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference.

Inner grill element only - It can be used for grilling

small quantities.

Full Grill - The full grill element will be on.

Pizza - The bottom element provides direct heat to

the base of pizzas, quiches or pies, while the fan ensures air is circulated tocook the pizza toppings or pie fillings.

Bottom heating element - The heat comes from

the bottom of the oven only.

Thermostat control knob (Fig. 5)

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and 230°C (MAX).

Thermostat control light

The thermostat control light will come on when the thermostat control knob is turned. The light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

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.

Before the First Use of the appliance

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the oven.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the oven accessories.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

The oven will work only if the time of day has

been set.

1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer (see chapter "Electronic Programmer").

2. Switch the oven function control knob to

conventional cooking .

3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.

4. Open a window for ventilation.

5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes.

This procedure should be repeated with the full grill

function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm water to which a little mild washing-up liquid has been added.
