remain in the vicinity of the appliance when in use
or when not completely cooled.
During Operation
This product is intended for the cooking of food and
must not be used for other purposes.
It is dangerous to modify, or attempt to modify, the
characteristics of this appliance.
Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on
the burners or plates in order to avoid accidents
caused by upsetting or boiling over.
Particular care should be taken when cooking with

All the covers, in plate glass or enamel, are
removable to facilitate cleaning.
Always ensure that the knobs are in the « »
(Stop) position when the appliance is not in
use.
Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill
or when cooking meat on the grid. Pour a little water
into the dripping pan to avoid grease burning and
creating unpleasant smells.
Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the
oven.
The accessories (grid and dripping pan) should be
washed before using for the first time.
Take care when using cleaning products in spray
form: never direct the spray onto the resistance or
the thermostat bulb.
If, when placing food in the oven, or when removing
it, a large quantity of oil, juice, etc. spills onto the
bottom of the oven, re-clean before starting to cook

Before maintenance and cleaning disconnect the
appliance and allow to cool.
To facilitate ignition, light the burners before
placing pans on the grid. After having lit the
burners check that the flame is regular.
Always lower the flame or turn it off before
removing the pan.
Ensure that the oven grids are inserted correctly.
If there are self-cleaning panels they should only be
cleaned with soap and water (see cleaning
instructions).
Only heat-resistant plates may be placed in the
drawer situated under the oven.Do not put
combustible materials there.

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.

diameter

Triple-crown (large) ø 220 mm ø 260 mm
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
Fig. 3
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.
