LIGHTING GAS BURNERS

FITTED WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION

Figure 16

■ Check that the electricity is

switched on to allow spark igni­tion.

■ Make sure that all controls are

turned to zero.

■ The gas flow to the burner is

controlled by the taps. The
switch for the electric ignition is
incorporated in the knobs.

■ The gas flow is controlled by

turning the knob indicator to line
up with the following symbols.

– Symbol ● : tap closed

(burner off)

– Symbol : High (maximum)

– Symbol : Low (minimum)

■ To ignite automatically, push the required knob down and turn it to maximum,

keeping the knob down until the burner lights

■ You can control the temperature by the knob to “High” from “minimum”.

■ To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.

■ Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob

clockwise past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.

■ Whenever the lighting of the burners is difficult due to peculiar conditions of

18

CHOICE OF BURNER

Burners Pan diameter

Auxiliary 12 - 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 24 cm
Triple ring 26 - 28 cm
Wok max 36 cm

The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy
required.

For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.

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.

Figure 17

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

PLURIFUNCTION ELECTRIC OVEN

GENERAL FEATURES

With your new Plurifunction oven it is possible to cook a variety of food using the 4 dif­ferent cooking functions.
The 4 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 3 heating elements.

Figure 20

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.

21

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the 4 function PLURIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the
following ways:
a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.

c. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

d. by radiation and ventilation

The irradiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the
oven by the fan.

Figure 21

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB

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

THERMOSTAT KNOB

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).

22

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat being dispersed by
natural convection. The temperature range must be set between 50°C and 250°C
using thermostat.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Ideal for:

Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example
roasts, spare pork ribs, meringues etc.

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan come on - the heat from
the element being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50° and 250°C using the thermostat.

Idea for:

Large bulky quantities of food that require even cooking throughout for example large
roasts, turkey, roast turkey, cakes etc.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

Both the grill and the fan come on. Most of the cooking is done by grilling and then
the hot air circulated around the oven. The oven door should be kept closed

.
The temperature can be set between 50°C and 175°C maximum.
The oven should be preheated for 5 minutes before cooking. For further cooking hints
see “GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN”.

Ideal for:

Quick sealing in of food juices for example such as hamburger, chicken pieces, chops.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

23

GRILLING

The infrared grill element at the top of the oven comes on. The heat is dispersed by
radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to position 225°C for max
15 minutes, then to position 175°C.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Ideal for:

Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

24

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180° and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:

a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 175 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and

the door and set the thermostat knob to position 130 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble,
turn off the oven and let cool.
Check your recycle book for full instructions.

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven
for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on position consents a simultaneous heteroge­neous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be
cooked together without mixing the smells and flavors together. This is possible since
the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical element and
therefore are not deposited onto the foods.
The only precaution to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with

a maximum difference of 20° - 25 °C.

– The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in

relation to the cooking times of each one.

The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.

25

USE OF THE GRILL

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as
possible.

The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices
and fats.

Grilling with the oven door closed.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children
well out of reach.

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

As the hot air completely covers the food to be cooked, grilling may be done with
the food on rack in the oven.
The knob should be switched to position .
The thermostat should be set to 175 °C and the oven pre-heated.
The food should be placed on a rack in the oven for the required cooking time.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden
“au gratin” effect.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at
any one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children
well out of reach.

26

N.B. For fan ovens reduce the temperature
by 10-20°C. For any dish taking one hour or
over to cook, reduce the cooking time by 10
minutes per hour.

*

Shelf positions have been counted from
the top of the oven to the base.
A fan oven creates more even temperature
throughout, therefore the shelf positions are
not as critical.
