- To reduce the gas flow to minimum,

rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to the small flame symbol.

- The maximum aperture position per-

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

- Other intermediate operating adjust-

ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum
and minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aperture
and closed positions.

GAS BURNERS

Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the lever of the knob match with
the symbol printed on the control panel
to obtain:

- symbol

● : off

- symbol : full on (nominal rate)

- symbol : reduced rate

Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.

ELECTRIC SPARK IGNITION

To light the burner you have to rotate
the knob (fig. 3.2) corresponding to the
specific burner to the maximum flame
position (large flame symbol) and press
the ignition button marked by the symbol

(fig. 3.3).

The sparks produced by the electrodes
situated next to the burner will light the
selected burner.

If conditions of the local gas supply
makes it difficult to light the gas burner
with the knob set to the high flame posi­tion, rotate the knob to the lower flame
position and repeat the ignition.

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

N.B. When the cooker 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 every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the
capacity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:

It is important that the diameter of the
pot be suitable to the potentiality of the
burner so as not to compromise the high
output of the burners and therefore
energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not
give you a boiling point in a shorten
amount of time since the capacity of
heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.

– Grill element, 2500 W

Fig. 4.1

Fig. 4.2

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position 250°C) for
60 minutes in the position and for
another 15 minutes in the mode in
order to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical resistances.

WARNING:
The door is hot use the handle.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the CONVEN­TIONAL oven are obtained in the follow­ing ways:

a. by normal convection

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

b. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element (use with the oven door
closed.).

10

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 4.1)

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

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION
COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements are
switched on. The heat is diffused by natur­al convection and the temperature must be
regulated between 50° C and 250°C posi­tion with the thermostat knob.
It is necessary to preheat the oven before
introducing the foods to be cooked.

Recommended for:

For foods which require the same
cooking temperature both internally and
externally, i. e. roasts, spare ribs,
meringue, etc.

LOWER HEATING ELEMENT

In this position only the lower element is
switched on. Heat is distributed by nat­ural convection. The thermostat can be
set between 50 and 150°C; higher tem­peratures are not available.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to
complete cooking of dishes that require
higher temperature at the bottom.

UPPER HEATING ELEMENT

In this position only the upper element is
switched on. Heat is distributed by nat­ural convection. The thermostat can be
set between 50 and 150°C; higher tem­peratures are not available.

Recommended for:

This mode is particularly suitable to
complete cooking of dishes that require
higher temperature at the top.

THERMOSTAT KNOB

(Fig. 4.2)

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 temperature indicator light signals
when the heating elements are switched
on or switched off.

OVEN LIGHT

The oven is equipped with a light that
illuminates the oven to enable visually
controlling the food that is cooking.
This light is controlled by the selector
knob (fig. 4.1)
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched
on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the
thermostat knob to between 50°C and
200°C.

For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE
GRILL”

Before using the grill, preheat for about
five minutes.

Always grill with the oven door closed
and do not use the 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.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with a
broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”,
toasting, etc.
