Using the hob
Control knobs on the front panel
The knobs (Fig. 1)for using the gas hob are found on the control panel. The regulation knobs should be turned in three main positions:
Symbols
λNo gas supply
Maximum gas supply
Minimum gas supply
ΦIgnition of gas burners
To ignite a burner, before positioning the saucepan:
λPush the Control Knob inwards and turn it anti-clockwise to its maximum setting keeping the Control Knob pressed in.
λAt the same time, press the electronic ignition button so as to obtain sparks. Keep the button pressed until a flame appears (sparks are produced approximately once per second).
λModels with thermocouple (fig. 2 - D): Once a flame has appeared, hold the Control Knob pressed in for around 5 seconds so as to activate the Oven Safety Device (Thermocouple).
λShould the bumer extinguish, repeat the operation, maintaining the Control Knob pressed for 15 seconds, maximum.
λNow adjust the Control Knob to the setting desired.
When lighting the oven manually: Hold a flame near the burner. Never turn the Control Knob before approaching the burner with the flame.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check that the baffle and its cap are correctly positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a clockwise direction to the position " ".
During cooking, when using fats or oils, take particular care as they can, when overheated, self-ignite.
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 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. 3.
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.
56
Using the oven
ΦGas oven
Automatic Ignition
λPush the Oven/Grill Control Knob (fig. 4) inwards and turn it anti-clockwise to its maximum setting (8) keeping the Control Knob pressed in.
λAt the same time, press the electronic ignition button so as to obtain sparks. Keep the button pressed until a flame appears (sparks are produced approximately once per second).
λOnce a flame has appeared, hold the Control Knob pressed in for around 5 seconds so as to activate the Oven Safety Device (Thermocouple).
Manual ignition
•Open the oven door and hold a flame near the hole in the bottom as shown in fig. 5;
•push the oven knob in (Fig. 4) and turn it anticlockwise until the maximum temperature position is reached;
λOnce a flame has appeared, hold the Control Knob pressed in for around 5 seconds so as to activate the Oven Safety Device (Thermocouple).
λShould the bumer extinguish, repeat the operation, maintaining the Control Knob pressed for 15 seconds, maximum.
λNow adjust the Control Knob to the setting desired (see table 1).
When cooking with the oven, the lid must be kept open to avoid over-heating.
Electric grill
Press and turn the knob clockwise until the stop position is reached , at the same time the grill control light
will come on. Place the dripping pan under the wire shelf so as to prevent fat from dripping on the bottom of the oven.
While the grill is in function, leave the door half-open and to put the protective screen to the knob (fig. 6).

ΦElectric oven (EK 6510)
Control switch (Fig. 7)
Permits the choice of cooking temperature most suitable and separate action of the heating elements.
Explanation of symbols:
0Oven switched off
Oven lamp
50-max Range of temperature regulation Lower heating element
Upper heating element
Grill element
To select the temperature turn the switch in a clockwise direction and place sign in front of the symbol corresponding to the temperature required, included between 50° C and max.
The temperature will be maintained constant by the thermostat.
If a different type of heating is required, for example more heat on the bottom or the top, you should turn the switch
to the symbols (heat from below) or (heat from
above).
In these conditions the temperature will never exceed 220°C forand 180°C forand will not be regulated by the thermostat.
When grilling, it is sufficient to turn the switch so that the sign is in front of the symbol .
When the grill is in use the oven door must be left ajar and the switch protection shield inserted (Fig. 6).
When cooking in the oven or grill, in order to avoid over-heating, always leave the appliance’s cover open.
Thermostat control light (°C)
Once the oven temperature has been selected, the temperature light will come on and remain on until the oven has reached the correct setting; after that, it will go on and off with the thermostat, showing how the temperature is being maintained.
Audible Signal Timer (EK 6327)
This allows you to select a cooking time (Fig. 8). After this period of time has elapsed, the sounder rings, but does not halt cooking.
λSet the Oven Control Knob to the OFF Position.
λFor cooking times of less than 15 minutes, tum the knob to a higher position, then bring it back to the setting desired.

Oven accessories
The oven is supplied with an enamelled dripping pan for the collection of cooking juices from grilled meat or kebabs, and a grill for cooking grilled food, which can also be placed in a dish.
In models equipped with an oven grill with stopper (fig. 9) and when grilling, to avoid dirtying the oven excessively, we advise you to insert the dripping pan (A-fig. 9) in the specific grids, situated under the grill (B-fig.9).
If you need to cook with the dripping pan on the oven grill, place as shown in Fig. 9.
Cooking with the turnspit (fig. 10)
Some models are equipped with a turnspit (fig.10-a). For correct use, proceed as follows:
•slide the spit into the food to be cooked and secure well;
•place the spit on the support and slide the whole into the third runner from the bottom of the oven cavity (fig. 10-b);
•insert the end of the spit into the rotisserie motor housing (the orifice in the wall at the back of the oven - see fig. 10-b);
•remove the spit handle;
•turn the oven knob to the grill position or, when required for some models, turn on the motor by
means of the appropriate switch ( |
) placed on the |
control panel. |
|
When cooking with the turnspit you are advised to leave the oven door half open and to fit the knob protection shield as shown in fig. 6.
Models with oven lamp switch
The oven lamp switch allows you to turn on the oven internal illumination.
When using the oven for the first time
When using the oven for the first time:
a)set 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 grid and the dripping pan.
