How To Use the Hob Burners
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a
separate gas tap operated by a control
knob (fig. 4.3) which has 3 positions
marked on the knob, these are:
– Symbol ● : tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol : High (maximum)
– Symbol : Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise
to the selected position.
Low High
Lighting of the hob burners
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be pursued:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-clockwise, and make the symbol printed on
the control panel to mach with the indicator on the knob (fig. 4.3).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric ignition; or, in case of power cut, approach a
flame to the burner.
3) Adjust the burner according to the power required.
To turn the burner off, fully rotate the knob clockwise to the off position: ●.
The maximum setting of the control tap is for boiling, the minimum setting is for slow
cooking and simmering.
All working positions must be chosen between the maximum and minimum setting, never
between the maximum setting and the “OFF” position.
Fig. 4.3
Electric ignition
The sparks generated by the electrodes close to the burners will ignite the chosen burner. Whenever the lighting of the burners will result difficult due to peculiar conditions of
the gas features or supply, it is advised to repeat the ignition with the knob on “minimum”
position.
17
Correct use of triple-ring burner
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. 4.5
Fig. 4.6
WRONG
CORRECT
Choice of burner
Fig. 4.4
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.
Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip. Pans which are positioned centrally on
burners are more stable than those which are offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the infortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

6 - How To Use the Multi-function main oven
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
General features
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements which are:
– Bottom element 1400 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2500 W
– Fan motor 25 W
– Oven lamp 15 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the
oven for 30 minutes in the position and
for another 30 minutes at the maximum
temperature (thermostat knob on position
250) in the positions
and
, to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.
WARNING:
The door is hot use the handle.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the muffle.
Before the hot air is sucked back
again by the fan to repeat the
described cycle, it envelops the food
in the oven, provoking a complete and
rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.
c. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.
e. by radiation and ventilation
The irradiated heat from the infra red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.
23
Fig. 6.1 Fig. 6.2
Thermostat knob (fig. 6.1)
To turn on the heating elements of the
oven, set the switch knob on the desired
program and the thermostat knob onto
the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, it is necessary
to make the knob lever meet the chosen
number.
The elements will turn on or off automatically according to the energy need
which is determined by the thermostat.
The operation of the heating elements is
signalled by a light above the thermostat
knob.
Function selector knob (fig. 6.2)
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven for one of the following functions:
Traditional convection
cooking
The upper and lower heating elements
are switched on. The heat is diffused by
natural convection and the temperature
must be regulated between 50° C and
250° C with the thermostat knob.
It is necessary to preheat the oven

effect. The defrosting is done by simple
ventilation without heat.
Recommended for:
To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram
requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the
quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.
Hot air cooking
The circular element and the fan are on.
The heat is diffused by forced
convection and the temperature must be
regulated between 50° and 250 °C with
the thermostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.
Recommended for:
For foods that must be well done on the
outside and tender or rare on the inside,
i. e. lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole
fish, etc.
Ventilated grill cooking
The infra-red ray grill and the fan are on.
The heat is mainly diffused by radiation
and the fan then distributes it throughout
the oven. The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 175 °C for max
30 minutes, with the thermostat knob.
It is necessary to preheat the oven for
about 5 minutes.
Use with the oven door closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children away.
For correct use see chapter “GRILLING
AND “AU GRA TIN”.
Recommended for:
For grill cooking when a fast outside
browning is necessary to keep the juices
in, i. e. veal steak, steak, hamburger, etc.
Grilling
The infra-red heating element is switched
on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the
thermostat knob to
between 50° and
225°C
for max 15 minutes, then to posi-
tion 175°C.
Note: It is recommended that you do
not grill for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation. Keep children
away.
For correct use see chapter “USE OF
THE GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling action for cooking with a
broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”,

Cooking Advice
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in
full and hermetically sealed jars, is done
in the following way:
a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position
185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan
making sure they do not touch each
other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is,
when the contents of the jars start to
bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.
Regeneration
Set the switch to position and the
thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with
a few drops of water and put into the
oven for about 10 minutes at the highest
temperature.
Convection cooking
with ventilation
The upper and lower heating elements
and the fan turn on.
The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.
The temperature must be regulated
between 50° and 250 °C with the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
For foods of large volume and quantity
which require the same internal and
external degree of cooking; for ie: rolled
roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.
Maintaining temperature
after cooking or slowly
heating foods
The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched
on; also the fan is on.
The heat is diffused by forced convection
with the most heat being produced by the
upper element.
The temperature must be regulated
between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly
heat already cooked foods.
Roasting
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-
perature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
26
Use of the grill
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
Introduce the food to be cooked,
positioning the rack as close to the grill as
possible.
The drip pan should be placed under the
rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Simultaneous cooking of
different foods
The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position
and
gives simultaneous
heterogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and meat
can be cooked together without mixing the
smells and flavours.
This is possible since the fats and vapors
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.
The only precautions to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the different
foods must be as close to as possible,
with a maximum difference of 20° - 25
°C.
– The introduction of the different dishes in
the oven must be done at different times
in relation to the cooking times of each
one.
The time and energy saved with this type
of cooking is obvious.
Grilling and “au gratin”
Set the switch to position .
Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and
after having preheated the oven, simply
place the food on the shelf.
Close the door and let the oven operate
with the thermostat on, until grilling is
complete.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end
of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
Note: It is recommended that you do
not grill for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
ATTENTION: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
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.
27
Thermostat (Fig. 7.2)
This only sets the cooking temperature and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required temperature is reached (from 50 to 250°C).
The light above the function selector will illuminate when the oven is swiched on and
turns off when the oven reaches the correct temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during cooking in line with the oven temperature.
