LIGHTING GAS BURNERS

FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC IGNITION

■ Check that the electricity is

switched on to allow spark ignition.

■ Make sure that all controls are

turned to zero.

■ The gas flow to the burner is

controlled by taps with safety cutout device. If the burner flame should go out, the safety cut-off valve will automatically stop the gas flow. The switch for the electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.

■ You control the flow by turning the knob indicator to line up with the following

symbols:

– Symbol ● : tap closed

(burner off)

– Symbol : High (maximum) – Symbol : Low (minimum)

■ To ignite automatically, push the required knob down and turn it to maximum,

keeping the knob down until the burner lights. When the flame is lit, wait for about ten second with the knob down (safety cut-off activation delay).

■ You can control the temperature by the knob to “High” from “minimum”.

■ To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.

■ Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob

clockwise past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.

■ 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.

■ If when lighting any of the burners an abnormal flame appears, switch the

burner off and relight using the minimum setting.

■ If the flame is still not correct, turn the burner off and call our Customer Service

center for your nearest Authorized Delonghi Service Agent.

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

CHOICE OF 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

The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.

For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.

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.

Figure 3.3

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

Figure 3.5 Figure 3.6

Figure 3.4

CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER

■ The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.

■ To use the WOK, you must place the wok stand in the CORRECT position as

shown in Fig. 3.5 - 3.6.

WRONG

CORRECT

IMPORTANT:

The special grille for wok pans (fig. 3.5) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the triple-ring burner.

GRATE FOR SMALL PANS

■ This grate (fig. 3.4) is to be

placed on top of the (smaller) auxiliary burner when using small diameter pans, in order to prevent them from tipping over.

VITROCRAMIC HOB

Figure 3.7

Figure 3.8

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the element in all settings to protect any overheating of the ceramic glass. The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.

The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it. The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimetres from the cooking plate.

The 2 cooking zones are shown by disks on the ceramic surface.

“3 CIRCUITS” RADIANT ZONES (Fig. 3.8)

The heating element consists of 3 electrical resistances which can operate together or separately according to the setting of the 7-position switch (fig. 3.7). It reaches the required temperature very quickly.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects. Do not use the cooktop as a work surface.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The appliance also features 2 warning lights (located in the control panel above the control knobs) which are connected to the corresponding plate.

When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning lights will also light up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

This light also stays on after the cooking plate has been switched off to show that the hob surface is still hot. This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.

During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.

Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.

The light will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls below 60°C

Figure 3.10

COOKING HINTS:

■ To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when

you switch the plate on. After a short time you can set the control knob to the position required for cooking.

■ You should only use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for

glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops). The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most of the energy.

■ Since the cooking surface will stays hot for a certain time after the plate has

been switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking. The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.

■ To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.

■ Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop.

HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE HOBS

■ Before switching on, check which knob controls the required hob. You are

advised to place the saucepan on the hob before switching on and to take it off after switching off.

■ Use saucepans with an even flat bottom (be careful of cast iron saucepans).

Uneven bottoms can scratch the pyroceram surface. Check that the bottom is clean and dry.

■ Check that the saucepan handle does not protrude from the top to avoid knock-

ing it over. This precaution also makes it more difficult for children to reach the saucepan.

■ Do not use the top if the surface is broken or damaged.

■ Do not bend over the hobs when they are on.

■ Do not leave aluminium foil, greaseproof paper etc. or plastic on the hob when

it is hot.

■ Remember that the hobs stay hot for quite a long time (approx. 30 min.) after

they have been switched off.

■ Scrupulously follow the cleaning instructions.

■ Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop.

■ If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call

the After-Sales Service.

■ Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans

or containers.

CLEANING

Before you begin cleaning make sure that the appliance is switched off.

■ Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.

■ Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

■ If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.

Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.

■ All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.

■ Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,

sugar syrup mixtures etc.

■ If any of these products items have melted on the ceramic surface, you should

remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.

■ Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils since these can damage the ceramic.

■ Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface

permanently.

ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT! If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special scraper tool take extra care to avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.

FAN OVEN

(Bottom left oven)

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.

WARNING: The door is hot use the handle.

IMPORTANT

To open the bottom left door operate as indicated in fig. 5.1

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, pro-

voking a complete and rapid cooking.

It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.

b. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red grill element.

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.

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.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Use with the function selector knob to position and the thermostat knob between 50°C and the 225°C position maximum and with the oven door closed

. 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.

Caution: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with a broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.

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.

OVEN COOKING

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 rela-

tion to the cooking times of each one.

The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.

USE OF THE GRILL

Grilling with the oven door closed. Grilling with the oven door closed and do not for longer than 30 minutes at any

one time. 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 1300 W – Top element 1000 W – Grill element 2000 W – Circular element 2200 W

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN

(Top right oven)

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

The fan draws in air contained within the oven housing at the rear of the oven and forces it over the circular heating element. The hot air envelops the food in the oven giving faster and more even cooking before it is drawn back into the housing to repeat the cycle. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously due to the even distribution of heat within the oven.

c. by forced semi-convection

The heat produced by the top and bottom heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

d. by radiant heat

The food is grilled by the infra red grill element.

e. by radiant heat and ventilation

The food is grilled by the grill element is distributed throughout the oven

f. by ventilation

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

NOTE:

To eliminate traces of grease in manufacture it is necessary to pre-heat the oven at the maximum temperature.

• For 60 minutes in the position, for

30 minutes in the position, and for another 15 minutes in the

position.

WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle.
