How to use the hob burners
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a
separate gas tap operated by a control
knob (fig. 5) 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-clockwise
to the selected position.
Low High
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. 5).
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.
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. 5
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.

Burners Pan diameter
Auxiliary 16 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 22 cm
Rapid 20 ÷ 24 cm
Double-ring up to 30 cm
Fig. 6
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.
Correct use of double-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 double-ring burner (Fig. 6a - 6b).

How to use the Multifunction oven
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 7)
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven
for one of the following functions.
THERMOSTAT KNOB (Fig. 8)
This only sets the cooking temperature
and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required
temperature is reached (from 50 to
225°C).
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.

OVEN LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “0” - 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.
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.
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 225°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.
