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

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.

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 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)

Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full flame position
marked by the symbol (fig. 4.1) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.

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

2) Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before releasing the knob (starting
time for the valve).

3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.

Important

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed

0 position, wait for at least 1

minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maxi­mum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions
of liquids.

To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame symbol.

Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, not between the
maximum aperture and closed positions.

N.B. When the hob is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions
and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

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.

Fig. 4.2

BURNERS POT 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

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.

Attenti on: 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.
