person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply,
before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance
work.
• Ensure a good ventilation around the appliance. A
poor air supply could cause lack of oxygen.
• Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas
type stated on the identification label, placed near
the gas supply pipe.
• Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat
and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.
• In case of intensive or long time use of the
appliance, make the ventilation more efficient,
by opening a window or increasing the electric
exhaust fan power.
• Once you removed all packaging from the appliance,

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,
if over-heated.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
• For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan
on the pan support.
Approach the burner with a flame. (In models provided
with electric ignition, depress the relevant switch marked
with a small spark). Then, push the relevant knob down
and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum"
position.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the "crown" (Fig. 1 lett.
B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ●.
• Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
USING THE HOB CORRECTLY
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

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 oans 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.
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.
HOTPLATES
The hotplates control knob can be adjusted on six
different positions, according to your cooking needs,
from maximun heat (position 6) to minimum heat
(position 1), as shown in Fig. 3.

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:
• they should be fairly heavy duty;
• they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller;

• they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate (see Fig. 4).
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being
spilt onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.
