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 control panel, these are:

– Symbol

• : tap closed (burner off)

– Symbol

: High (maximum)

– Symbol

: Low (minimum)

- The maximum setting permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum setting allows slower warming of food or maintaining simmering conditions of liquids.

- To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.

- Other intermediate operating can be achieved by positioning the control knob indicator between the maximum and minimum setting, but not between the maximum and off positions.

N.B. When the cooker is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

Lighting of the hob burners

To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full flame position marked by the

symbol (fig. 4.3) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.

In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

2) Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the

knob (valve activation delay).

3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

Important:

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow. To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed “

• ” position, wait for at least 1

minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

Fig. 4.3

Page 22

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.

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

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

General features

With your new Fan oven it is possible to cook a variety of food using the 2 different cooking functions. The 2 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 2 heating elements.

– Grill element 2000 W – Circular element 2200 W

Note:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven at the maximum temperature (thermostat knob on position 250) 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 FAN oven are obtained in the following ways:

a. 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.

b. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

c. by ventilation

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

WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

Fig. 6.2

Page 25

Thermostat knob (g. 6.1)

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 oven thermostat indicator light will illuminate when the oven is switched on and turns off when the oven reaches the correct temperature. The light will cycle on and off during cooking.

Function selector knob (g. 6.2)

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

Oven light

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking modes.

Defrosting frozen foods

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob on

“ • ”

because the other positions have no 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 ther mostat 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.

Page 26

Grilling

The infrared grill element comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation. Set the thermostat knob to between 50° and 200°C.

Always grill with the oven door closed. For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

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

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time on full heat (200°C). Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

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.

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.

Page 27

Simultaneous cooking of different foods

The

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.

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.

Correct replacement of the burners

It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor “F” and the cap “C” has been correctly positioned (see fig. 8.1-8.2) - failure to do so can cause a poor burner flame and/ or damage to the burner and hob.

Check that the electrode “S” (figs. 8.1, 8.3) is always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.

Check that the probe “T” (figs. 8.1, 8.3) next to each burner is always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves.

Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.

The burners become very hot during operation. Keep children away.
