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.

BURNERS POT DIAMETER
Auxiliary 12 ÷ 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 24 cm
Rapid 24 ÷ 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 ÷ 28 cm
Wok max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases

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 special grille for wok pans (fig. 4.3b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest
for the triple-ring burner.

GENERAL FEATURES
It is advisable, upon first use, to turn
the oven on to the maximum temperature (position 270 ) to eliminate possible traces of grease from the oven
burner.
The same operation should be followed for the 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).
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
150 to 270 (fig. 5.1) indicat-
ing 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.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes hot.

OVEN COOKING
For efficient oven preheating, we recommend that grill trays and racks are
removed from the oven and replaced
after about 15 minutes.
Before introducing the food, preheat
the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.
IGNITION OF THE OVEN
BURNER
1) Open the oven door to the full
extent.
WARNING: Risk of explosion!
The oven door must be open
during this operation.
2) Lightly press and turn the temperature
knob anti-clockwise (fig. 5.2) to the
max position (
270
fig. 5.1).
3) Press the knob firmly until the burner
lights.
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 mains failure, press the
knob firmly and immediately put a lit
match or taper to the opening “F”
(fig. 5.3).
4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the
burner lights before releasing the
knob (time to prime the valve).
5) Close the oven door slowly and
adjust the burner according to the
power required.
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
0, wait
for at least 1 minute and then
repeat the lighting procedure.
