The oven can be switched on when the

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) 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.
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. 4).
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
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 12 ÷ 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 24 cm
Rapid 24 ÷ 26 cm
do not use pans with concave or convexe bases
Fig. 5
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.

How to use the 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 2000 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven at the maximum temperature (ther-
mostat knob on position 250) for 60 minutes in the position (fan oven) and then in
the position (grill), (thermostat knob on position 200), to eliminate possible traces of
grease on the heating elements.
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.
