4 How to use the hob burners
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate
gas tap operated by a control knob (fig. 4.1)
which has 3 positions marked on the knob
itself, 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
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.
Fig. 4.1
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.
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 symbol
to the indicator printed on the control panel (fig. 4.1).
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.

Burners Pan diameter
Auxiliary 12 ÷ 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 24 cm
Rapid 24 ÷ 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 ÷ 28 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Fig. 4.2
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.
9
Correct use of the 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. 4.3a - 4.3b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 4.3b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the
triple-ring burner.

5 How to use the gas oven
General features
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
The oven is supplied completely clean; it is advisable, however, upon first use, to turn the
oven on to the maximum temperature (position ) to eliminate possible traces of grease
from the oven burner. The same operation should be completed for grill burner.
The gas oven is provided with two burners:
a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower part of the oven (wattage: 6,20 kW)
b) Grill burner, mounted on the upper part of the oven (wattage: 4,65 kW).
If hob burners are already in use it is preferable to await about 10 minutes before
operating the oven.
Oven burner
This burner carries out the normal “oven cooking”.
The gas flow to the burner is regulated by a thermostat which maintains the oven at a constant
temperature.
The temperature of the oven is controlled by a
thermostatic probe positioned inside the oven.
The probe must always be kept in its housing, in
a clean condition, as an incorrect position or
encrustment may cause an alteration in the control of the temperature.
Oven thermostat
The temperature knob is numbered from 1 to (fig. 5.1) indicating the increasing oven
temperature value.
The thermostat which regulates the flow of gas to the oven burner has a safety valve which
automatically shuts off the gas supply when the flame goes out.
The temperature is kept constant on the regulated value.

”
.
3 – Press the knob right down to prime the electric ignition. Keep the knob pressed.
Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still
not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.
In case of a power cut, press the knob and immediately bring a lighted match to the
opening ‘A’ of the oven floor (fig. 5.2).
4 – After lighting the burner, wait a few seconds before releasing the knob (until the safety
valve stays open).
5 – Gently close the oven door and set the oven control knob to the required temperature.
If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will automatically shut off the gas
supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to position ●, wait for at least 1 minute
and then repeat the lighting procedure.
For efficient oven preheating, we recommend that grill trays and racks are removed
from the oven and replaced after about 15 minutes.
