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, immediately shut the main valve of the gas supply, unplug the appliance from the mains. Never, under any circumstances, pour water on burning oil.
•Do not store flammable products or aerosol 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.
• In order to avoid any unintentional accidents, pan handles should be turned inwards to the rear of the cooker, not outwards into the room or over adjacent burners.
•When cooking, do not use clothes with long, wide or flammable sleeves; if they catch fire you may be seriously burned.
WARNING - OVEN:
When the oven or grill are in use, accessible parts can become very hot; keep children well away from the appliance.
-Never cook food on the very bottom of the oven.
-Carelessness in proximity of the oven door hinges can lead to injury.
-Do not let children sit down or play with the oven door. Do not use the drop down door as a stool to reach cabinets above.
INFERIOR DRAWER
Never place inflammable materials or plastic utensils in the inferior drawer (housed below the oven).

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 anti-clockwise rotation of the knob. Knob positions must be set between max. and min.; never set the knobs between max. and off.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION
To turn a burner on, press the knob corresponding to the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the max position. Keeping the knob pressed, the burner will automatically ignite.
In the event of a power failure, the burner can also be lit using a match.
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 down 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.
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.

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN
The first time the oven is used, it may give off an acrid smell, caused by the first heating of insulating panels adhesive surrounding the oven
(heat the oven at the maximum temperature for about 30-40 minutes with closed door).
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.
