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:

0.

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.

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.

CORRECT USE OF 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 wok pan stand (fig. 4.3b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the
triple-ring burner.

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 1725 W
– Top element 1725 W
– Grill element 2500 W
– Circular element 2200 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to
operate the oven for 30 minutes in the
position and for another 30 minutes
at the maximum temperature (thermostat
knob on position 250) in the positions
and

, to eliminate possible traces of
grease on the heating elements.

Clean the oven and accessories with
warm water and washing-up liquid.

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 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 givin
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.

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