LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction up to the position (maximum
rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit (fig. 2.2).
The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the
flame.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burn-
er in position, try again with the knob in position.
If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
To r e-light the burner, return the knob to the position and repeat the operations for
lighting.
Fig. 2.2
Fig. 2.1
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1) which
control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the symbol printed on itself points to the symbols printed on
the control panel achieves the following functions:
= closed valve
= maximum rate
=minimum rate
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of
liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the
indicator towards the position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between
the maximum aperture and positions.
N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their positions
and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER (Fig. 2.4a - 2.4b)
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any
faulty operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 2.4a - 2.4b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 2.4b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest
for the triple-ring burner.

Fig. 2.4b
CORRECT
CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.3)
The symbols printed on the panel beside the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating potential of the burners in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the burners, bringing about
a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that
boiling conditions are reached quicker.
Fig. 2.3
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE HOB BURNERS
BURNER MINIMUM MAX.
Auxiliary 12 cm (4" 23/32 ) 14 cm (5" 1/2)
Semirapid 16 cm (6" 19/64) 24 cm (9" 7/16)
Triple-ring 26 cm (10" 15/64) 28 cm (11" 1/64)
Wok pans max 36 cm (14" 11/64)
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Make sure that the handles of cookware
do not stick out over the edge of the
cooker, to avoid them being knocked
over by accident. This also makes it
more difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels.

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
It is advised to follow these instructions:
– Furnish the interior of the oven by placing the wire racks as described at chapter
“Cleaning and maintenance”.
– Insert shelves and tray.
–Turn the oven on to the maximum temperature (position ) to eliminate
possible traces of grease from the oven burner. The same operation should be
followed for broil burner.
– Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior
of the oven with cloth soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.
Attention: the range becomes
very hot during operation.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
OVEN BURNER
It carries out normal “oven cooking”.
The gas flow to the burner is regulated by a thermostat which allow to maintain the oven
temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is assured by a thermostatic probe positioned inside the
oven.
The probe must be always kept in its housing, in a clean condition, as an incorrect position or encrustment may cause an alteration in the control of the temperature.
GENERAL FEATURES
The gas oven is provided with two burners:
a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower part of the oven (13000 BTU/hr)
b) Broil burner, mounted on the upper part of the oven (8500 BTU/hr).
OVEN THERMOSTAT
The numbers printed on the control knob (fig. 3.1) indicate the increasing oven temperature value (°F). To regulate the temperature, set the chosen number onto the control
panel indicator.
The position serves only to turn on the broil burner.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
IGNITION OF THE OVEN BURNER
The thermostat allows the automatic control of the temperature.
The gas delivery to the oven burner is controlled by a two way thermostatic tap (oven
and broil burners) with flame-failure device.
To light the oven burner operate as follows:
1) Open the oven door to its full extent.
WARNING: Risk of explosion! The oven door must be open during this operation.
2) Lightly press and turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise (fig. 3.2) to max position
.
3) Press the knob right down to prime the electric ignition. Keep the knob pressed.
In case of power cut, press the knob and immediately approach a lighted match to
the opening “A” (fig. 3.3).
Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still
not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.
4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the burner lighting before releasing the knob (time of
priming of the valve).
5) Close the oven door slowly and adjust the burner according to the power required.
If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will automatically shut off the
gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to position , wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and
introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to
recuperate the stored heat.
11
IGNITION OF THE BROIL BURNER
The broil burner generates the infra-red rays for broiling.
To light the broil burner operate as follow:
1) Open the oven door to the full extent.
WARNING: Risk of explosion!
The oven door must be open during this
operation.
2)
Lightly press and turn
the thermostat knob clockwise to the position
(fig. 3.4).
3) Press the knob right down to prime the electric ignition. Keep the knob pressed.
In case of power cut, press the knob and put a lighted match to the right and left
side of the burner (fig. 3.5).
Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still
not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.
4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the burner lighting before releasing the knob (time
of priming of the valve).
5) Close the oven door slowly.
If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will automatically shut off the
gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to position , wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
Fig. 3.4
OVEN LIGHT
The range is equipped with a light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling
the food that is cooking.
This light is controlled by a switch knob (Fig. 3.6).
To light the oven lamp turn the knob clockwise to position.
Fig. 3.6
Fig. 3.5
Do always broil with oven door closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
12
BROILING
Very important: the broil burner must always be used with the oven door closed.
- Position the shelf on the second level from the top (fig. 3.7).
-Turn on the broil burner, as explained in the preceding paragraphs and let the broil
burner preheat for about 5 minutes with the door closed.
- Place the food to be cooked above the grill-pan grid.
- Introduce the grill-pan (tray + grid) in the oven (fig. 3.8). The grill-pan should be placed
above the shelf and it should be centered with the broil burner (fig. 3.7).
Do not broil without using the grill pan
.
Important: Use always special handles supplied with the appliance to
insert/remove the grill-pan from the oven (figs. 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13).
