Please note: This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan which you will hear operating whenever the oven or grill are in use. This fan is to reduce the external temperature of the appliance and cool the internal components.

Minute counter

MINUTE COUNTER

The minute counter is a timed acoustic warning device which can be set for a maximum of 60 minutes. The knob (Fig. 3.1) must be rotated clockwise as far as the 60 minute position and then set to the required time by rotating it anticlockwise.

Fig. 3.1

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 control panel, these are:

– Symbol

0 : tap closed (burner off)

– Symbol : High (maximum)

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

clockwise to the selected position.

LIGHTING THE 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. 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.

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.

How to use the hob burners

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near each knob, there is a diagram that indicates which burner is controlled by that knob. Select the burner that is most suitable for the diameter and capacity of the pan to be used. As an indication, the burners and the pans must be used in the following way:

It is important that the base diameter of the pot is at least the same diameter as the burner ring to obtain an efficient heat transfer. Always position pans centrally over the burners.

Adjust the size of the flame so that it does not lick up the side of the pan. Position pan handles so that they cannot be accidentally knocked.

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

Fan oven

GENERAL FEATURES

The heating and cooking in electrical hot air ovens take place by forced convection. The two elements which make this process take place are:

- Circular element 2500 W

- Grill 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 (fan oven) and for another 15 minutes in the position (thermostat knob on position 200°C), to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating elements.

WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle.

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

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.

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

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 5.1)

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

THERMOSTAT KNOB (Fig. 5.2)

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 above the temperature selector will illuminate when the oven is swiched 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.

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 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.
