Using the hob
Control knobs on the front panel
The knobs for using the gas hob are found on the
control panel. The regulation knobs can be turned to
the following main positions:
Symbols
l No gas supply
Maximum gas supply
Minimum gas supply
Ignition of gas burners
F
To ignite a burner, before positioning the saucepan:
l Models provided with automatic ignition: push
the electric ignition pushbutton, which is marked with
a little spark; at the same time, push in and turn the
relevant control knob to maximum position. Upon
ignition, adjust the flame as required.
l Models with thermocouple (fig. 1 - letter D): Once
a flame has appeared, hold the control knob pressed
in for about 5 seconds so as to activate the hob
safety device (Thermocouple).
l Manual ignition (in case of lack of electric supply):
hold a flame near the burner, then push the
corresponding knob in completely and turn in an
anticlockwise direction to the maximum position;
upon ignition regulate the flame as required.
l If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,
check that the burner cap and crown are correctly
positioned.
l To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position "l".
During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when over-heated,
self-ignite.

Triple-crown burner
In models provided with triple-crown burner,
always ignite the burner before putting the pans
on.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned.
Recommended 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 in Fig. 2 (see also the
"Table of minimum and maximum pan diameter").
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.
Some models are supplied with a special
grid. When using the auxiliary burner (with
pans having a diameter equal or higher than
50mm), place this grid on the pan support,
as shown in fig.3.

Rapid (large) ø 220 mm ø 260 mm
Semi-rapid (medium) ø 120 mm ø 220 mm
Auxiliary (small) ø 80 mm ø 160 mm

When using the oven for the first
time
When using the oven for the first time:
a) set the oven knob to and the thermostat knob to
"max";
b) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes;
c) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool
down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth
soaked in warm soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the
oven accessories.
