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 knob indicator to mach with

the symbol printed on the control panel (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

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.

Burners Pan diameter

Auxiliary 12 ÷ 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 24 cm
Rapid 24 ÷ 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 ÷ 28 cm
Wok max 36 cm

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

18

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 - 4.6).

IMPORTANT:

The special grille for wok pans (fig. 4.6) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest
for the triple-ring burner.

5 - How To Use the Top Conventional oven

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

Fig. 5.1 Fig. 5.2

General features

The convection oven is equipped with 3
electrical heating elements:

– 2 elements (upper and lower) for nor-

mal oven cooking

– 1 grill element, on the top of the oven,

for grilling which must be done with
the oven door closed.

The input of the elements is:
– Upper element, 700 W
– Lower element, 1000 W
– Grill element, 2000 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position MAX) for
60 minutes in the position and for
another 15 minutes in the mode in
order to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical resistances.

Operating principles

Heating and cooking in the CONVEN­TIONAL oven are obtained in the follow­ing ways:

a. by natural convection

The heat is produced by the upper and

lower heating elements.

b. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element (use with the oven door
closed).

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

20

Traditional convection cooking

The upper and lower heating elements come on.
The heat is dispersed by natural convection and the temperature must be set to between
50° and MAX°C via the thermostat knob.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Recommended for:

Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example roasts,
spare pork ribs, meringues etc.

Lower heating element

In this position only the lower element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural con­vection. The thermostat can be set between 50 and 150°C; higher temperatures are not
available.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher tem­perature at the bottom.

Upper heating element

In this position only the upper element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural con­vection. The thermostat can be set between 50 and 150°C; higher temperatures are not
available.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher tem­perature at the top.

Thermostat knob (Fig. 5.2)

This only sets the cooking temperature and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required temperature is reached (from 50°C to MAX).

Function selector knob (Fig. 5.1)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions.

Oven light

The oven is equipped with a light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling
the food that is cooking.
This light is controlled by the function selector knob (fig. 5.1).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

21

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°C and 200°C.
For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”
Before using the grill, preheat for about five minutes.
Always grill with the oven door closed and do not use the grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.

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.

Use of the grill

Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the rack as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to collect the cooking juices.

Grilling with the oven door closed.
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.

6 - How To Use the Bottom Main oven

General features

Fan cooking is more economical and
quicker than cooking in a conventional
oven.
The moving hot air surrounds the food
and penetrates it more quickly than in a
conventional oven.

The oven is equipped with a circular ele­ment (2200 W) and a fan.

Note:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position 250) for 60
minutes to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical resistance.

Operating principles

Heating and cooking in this oven are
obtained 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.

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

IMPORTANT

To open the bottom door operate as
indicated in fig. 6.1.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

Fig. 6.1

23

Switch and temperature selector (fig. 6.2)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions:

Off as per fig. 6.2

Only the oven fan is on.
The fan operates without the heating element, this function can be used for
defrosting.

The oven light is switched on.
The oven temperature can be set between 50°C - 250°C.
The set temperature has been reached when the temperature indicator light
goes off.
Several different meals may be cooked simultaneously on various shelves, as
the heated air circulates evenly throughout the oven.
The hot air system cooks more quickly than conventional static system, there­fore the temperature should be set 15°C - 20°C below the values recommend­ed in your recipe books.

Cooking Advice

Sterilization

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

a. Set the selector knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
b. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
c. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the

door and set the 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 selector 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.

Roasting

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

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.

Simultaneous cooking of different foods

The fan consents a simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different
foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and
flavours together. This is possible since the fats and vapours are oxidized while passing
through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.

The only precaution 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.

25

Recommended cooking temperature

N.B. For fan ovens reduce the tempera-

ture by 10-20°C. For any dish taking one
hour or over to cook, reduce the cooking
time by 10 minutes per hour.

* Shelf positions have been counted

from the top of the oven to the base.
A fan oven creates more even tempera­ture throughout, therefore the shelf posi­tions are not as critical.

It must be always in perfect condition; in
case of damage arrange for it to be
replaced by a C.O.R.G.I. registered
installer.

Cleaning oven parts after
use

The oven interior and the chromium plat­ed shelves can be cleaned by damp
soapy cloth. Obstinate stains can be
removed with nylon scouring pads and
gentle, non-abrasive, liquid cleaner.
Provided the oven is wiped over immedi­ately after roasting, only the minimum of
cleaning should be necessary.
