To switch the hob burners off, turn the hob burner
knob clockwise to the ‘0’ position or so that the marker
on the hob burner knob points upwards.

Your hob has burners of different diameters. You will
find that the most economical way of using gas is to
choose the correct size gas burner for your cooking
pan size and to bring the flame to the 'minimum'
position once boiling point is reached. We recommend
that you always cover your cooking pan to avoid heat
loss.

To obtain maximum performance from the main
burners, we suggest you use pots with the following
flat bottom diameters. Using pots smaller than the
minimum dimensions shown below will cause energy
loss.

Rapid / Wok Burner 22-26 cm
Semi-rapid Burner 14-22 cm
Auxiliary Burner 12-18 cm

Make sure that the tips of the flames do not spread out
from the outer circumference of the pan, as this may
harm plastic accessories, such as handles.

Switch the main gas control valve off when the burners
are not in use for prolonged periods of time.

WARNING:

• Only use flat-bottomed pans with thick bases.

• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before

placing it on the burner.

• The temperature of accessible parts may become
high while the appliance is operating. It is imperative
that children and animals are kept well away from
the burners during and after cooking.

• Never place knives, forks, spoons and lids on the
hob as they will get hot and could cause serious
burns.

• Do not allow pan handles or any other cooking
utensils to project over the edge of the cooker top.

Main oven functions

* The functions of your oven may be different due to
the model of your product.

Defrost function: Switch on the
DEFROST function using the main
oven function control knob. The
oven’s warning lights will switch on,
and the fan will start operating. To

use the defrost function, place your
frozen food on a shelf in the middle of the oven. It is
recommended that you put an oven tray under the

lights will switch on, and the ring heating element and
fan will start operating. The temperature can be
adjusted using the main oven function control knob.
The turbo function evenly disperses the heat in the
oven so all food on all racks will cook evenly. It is
recommended that you preheat the oven for 10
minutes.

Top oven functions

* The functions available on your oven may differ from
those listed below depending on the model purchased.

Static cooking function: Switch on
the STATIC function using the top
oven function control knob. The
oven thermostat and warning lights
will illuminate, and the upper and

lower heating elements will switch
on. The temperature can be adjusted using the top
oven function control knob. The heat generated by the
upper and lower heating elements ensures that food is
cooked evenly. You will find this setting ideal for
cooking cakes, baked pasta, lasagne, and pizza. We
recommend that the oven is preheated for 10 minutes
before use and that you cook on one rack at a time.

Warning: The top oven door must be kept open
during use of this function.

Faster grilling function: Switch on
the FASTER GRILL function using the
function selector knob. The oven
thermostat and warning lights will
illuminate, and the grill and upper

heating elements will switch on. The
temperature setting will set to the highest level when
this function is selected. Use this function for wide area
grilling. When you have finished grilling, switch the top
oven off. Keep children away from the oven during
grilling and until the oven has fully cooled after use.

Warning: The top oven door must be kept open
during use of this function.

Upper heating function: Switch on
the UPPER function using the top
oven function control knob. The
oven thermostat and warning lights
will illuminate, and the upper

heating element will switch on. The
temperature setting will set to the highest level for this
function. The UPPER heating function is ideal for
heating food or for frying the top of food that has
already been cooked, as the heat radiates from the
upper heating element closest to the top of the food.

Grilling function: Switch on the

GRILL function using the top oven

function control knob. The oven

thermostat and warning lights will

illuminate, and the grill heating

element will switch on. The
temperature setting will set to the highest level for this
function. Use this function for grilling. When you have
finished grilling, switch the top oven off. Keep children
away from the oven during grilling and until it has fully
cooled after use.
