How to use the hob burners

Lighting of the hob burners

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

1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-clockwise, and position the knob indicator to the
symbol printed on the control panel (fig. 12).

2) Press the knob to operate the electric ignition; or, in the case of a mains failure light
the burner with a match or lighted taper.

3) Adjust the burner according to the setting required.

Fig. 12

Electric ignition

The sparks generated by the electrodes close to the burners will ignite the choosen
burner. Whenever the lighting of the burners is difficult due to peculiar conditions of
the gas features or supply, it is advised to repeat the ignition with the knob on “mini­mum” position.

Hob burners

Each hob burner is controlled by a sep­arate gas tap operated by a control
knob (fig. 12) which has 3 positions
marked on the control panel, these are:

– Symbol ● : tap closed (burner off)

– Symbol : High (maximum)

– Symbol : Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clock-

wise to the selected position.

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 choosen between the maximum and minimum setting,

never between the maximum setting and the “OFF” position.

12

Fig. 13

Choice of burner

The burner must be choosen 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 unfortunate 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.

Fig. 14b

CORRECT

Correct use of triple-ring burner

The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
To use the WOK you need to place the proper stand in order to avoid any faulty
operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 14a - 14b).

IMPORTANT:

The wok pan stand (fig. 14b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the triple­ring burner.

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

How to use the Multifunction main oven

Operating principles

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION 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 radiated 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.

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

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.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch
the hot heating element inside the
oven cavity.

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

14

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 250°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.

Function selector knob

(Fig. 16)

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

Thermostat knob

(Fig. 15)

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 between the thermostat and the function selector 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 in line with the oven temperature.

Fig. 15

Fig. 16

Oven light

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

15

Hot air cooking

The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and
the temperature can be regulated to between 50° and 250°C via the thermostat knob.
The oven does not require preheating.

Recommended for:

Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example
lasagne, lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.

Defrosting frozen foods

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “●” - other positions
have no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.

Recommended for:

Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.

Grilling

The infrared grill element comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed

and the thermostat knob to position 225°C for max
15 minutes, then to position 175°C.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

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

It is recommended that you 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.
