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.



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.

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

- Put in the shelf and the tray.

- Switch the oven on empty (on a cooking function – NOT SELF CLEANING) at maximum power for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from the components.

- When the oven has cooled down and unplugging the range, clean the inside of the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it perfectly.

WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

VERY IMPORTANT The oven shall be used always with the door closed.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the multifunction self cleaning oven takes place as follows:

•by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

•by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

• by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

• by radiation and fan

The radiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

• by double radiation and fan

The fan distributes the heat radiated by the grill heating element and the upper heating element in the oven.

• by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

• by self cleaning

The heat produced by the heating elements cleans the internal oven cavity removing all residue of grease.

THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION

GENERAL FEATURES

This oven has special operating features. 5 different functions can be used to satisfy all cooking needs; it also has a self cleaning

function which can clean the oven cavity at high temperature, a defrost function and an oven light function.

These functions are managed by an electronic programmer which keeps the temperature set constant by means of a probe inside the oven cavity.

The oven has the following heating elements:

- Lower heating element (double) 500+1300 W

- Upper heating element 1000 W

- Grill heating element 2000 W

SELF CLEANING FUNCTION

IMPORTANT NOTES: This is not a cooking function but is only used to clean the oven.

Before starting the self cleaning cycle:

-Take all the accessories out of the oven (drip tray and shelves).

- Clean any traces of liquid which have overflowed.

- Close the oven door and make sure that it is closed properly. If there are cracks or flaws on the oven door glass (inside/outside) or if

the gaskets are ruined or worn or if the door does not close perfectly, unplug the appliance and contact the AVANTI Service Centre.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• In this function the residual cooking greases on the inside walls of the oven cavity are

pulverised by the high temperature. The fumes produced during this process are filtered by a special catalyst in the upper part of the appliance.

• Smells and fumes produced during self cleaning are not a cause of alarm. Adequate ventilation should however be provided in the room where the oven is installed, e.g. by opening a window.

• Do not wait for the oven to be very greasy before performing this cleaning. It should not be performed after every cooking, either, but only when the level of dirt justifies it (on average 1 – 2 times a month depending on oven use).

• For safety reasons (high temperature of the oven cavity), when the self cleaning starts the oven door is automatically locked by an electronic device (after about 30 seconds on the control panel the pilot light with key symbol lights up). The door can no longer be opened and is only unlocked at the end of the cleaning cycle or, stopping the cycle, when the oven cavity has cooled to a temperature lower than 570 °F (300 °C).

• When the self cleaning function starts an internal fan starts automatically to cool the oven walls. It only stops at the end of the cycle, when the oven cavity temperature has dropped below 212 °F (100 °C).

• The procedures for starting, stopping and completing the self cleaning cycle and dealing with any problems are described in the following chapters:

- “How to start the self cleaning cycle”

- “Problems on starting and during the self cleaning cycle”

- “How to stop the self cleaning cycle”

- “What to do when the self cleaning cycle has finished”

- “Abnormal situations and/or operating problems”



CAUTION: During the self cleaning cycle the accessible parts may become hot. Keep children away.

The temperature set is shown on the electronic programmer display and can be varied, with 5 °F (5 °C) intervals, by means of the programmer keys. During the cooking the oven temperature (°F or °C) is measured by a sensor inside the cavity and is shown on the programmer display until setted temperature is reached. If setted temperature is less than inside oven temperature, the display shows the setted temperature.

SELECTING THE COOKING FUNCTION Turn the selector knob to the cooking function required

The pre-set temperature appears on the programmer display. °

COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT THE SAME TIME

The MULTIFUNCTION oven at positions of the function selector can cook various different foods at the same time. Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked together without the smells and flavours mixing.

The only precautions required are the following: – The cooking temperatures must be as close as possible with a maximum difference of

70-80 °F (20-25 °C) between the different foods.

–Different dishes must be placed in the oven at different times according to the cook-

ing time required for each one. This type of cooking obviously provides a considerable saving on time and energy.

COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a. Turn the switch to position . b. Set the thermostat knob to position 350 °F (175 °C) and preheat the oven.

c. Fill the grill pan with hot water. d. Set the jars into the grill pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door

and set the thermostat knob to position 260 °F (130 °C).

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

REGENERATION

Turn the switch to position and set the temperature to 300 °F (150 °C). Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember: – the pre-set temperature should be maintained

– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

VENTILATED BROILING AND “AU GRATIN”

Broiling may be done by selecting or with the function selector knob, because the hot air completely envelops the food that is to be cooked. Set the temperature if a temperature different from the pre-set one is required. Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the grill pan as close to the infra-red element as possible.

Close the door and let the oven operate until broiling is done. Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au

gratin” effect.

Broiling with the oven door closed. IMPORTANT: Use always special handles supplied with the appliance to

insert/remove the grill-pan from the oven (see next page)

BROILING

Set the function selector knob to position . Set the temperature if a temperature different from the pre-set one is required. Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed.

Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the grill pan as close to the infra-red element as possible.

Broiling with the oven door closed. IMPORTANT: Use always special handles supplied with the appliance to
