Hold a flame near the burner. Never
turn the control knob before approaching the burner with the flame.
When switching on the mains,
after installation or a power cut, it
is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated
automatically.
If you use a saucepan which is
smaller than the recommended
size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the
handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling,
turn down the flame so that it will
barely keep the liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in
hot oil or fat, as the overheated
splashes could easily ignite.
Leave the burners to cool before closing the cover.
If the control knobs become
difficult to turn, please contact
your local Service Force Centre.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and
pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

Using the Hob
Pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed
pan allows a faster cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit
what you have to cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans
are not too small for liquids, since these
could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be
too large for a faster cooking. In fact,
grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable
moulds for baking cakes. In fact, an
openable mould lets juices and sugar
leak through, falling on the bottom of the
oven and consequently burning on the
bottom of the baking tray, making
cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans
in the oven as they are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right
diameter to fit the burner, in order to
make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as shown in figure 3.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and, as soon as the liquid
starts boiling, lower the flame enough to
keep the boiling point.

Always cook with the oven
door closed.
When cooking with the fan gas
oven, leave the lid open in
order to avoid overheating.
The air inside the oven is heated
by the gas burner and the fan
circulates hot air to maintain an
even temperature inside the oven.
The advantage of cooking with this
function is energy saving through:
z Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to
preheat the oven although you may
find that you need to allow an extra 57 minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, souffles, etc.
z Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires
lower temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20°C-25°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.
z Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on
all shelf positions. This means that
batches of the same food can be
cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the bottom shelf may brown
slightly quicker than the upper one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes.
To use the Fan Gas Oven:
)
1. Light the oven gas burner as
described in “Using the Gas
Oven”, steps 1 and 2.
2. Upon ignition, turn the “LightGrill & Fan” control knob to
position .
The oven fan will start as soon
as the oven cavity reaches the
required cooking temperature.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out
with the oven door closed.
How to Use the Grill
)
1. Turn the “Light-Grill & Fan” clockwise
control knob to position .
2. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different
thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the top element for faster
cooking and further away for more
gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a
few minutes before sealing steaks or
toasting.
• The grill control light will come on
when the "Light-Grill & Fan" control
knob is set.
It will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle
on and off to show that the temperature is being maintained.
Hints and Tips
- Most foods should be placed on the
grid in the grill pan to allow maximum
circulation of air to lift the food out of
the fats and juices. Food such as fish,
liver and kidneys may be placed
directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise splashing.
Brush lean meats and fish lightly with
a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes
and mushrooms may be placed
underneath the grid when grilling
meats.
- When toasting bread, we suggest that
the top runner position is used with
the grid in its 'high' position.
- The food should be turned over
during cooking, as required.

Hints and Tips for using the Gas burners
Start your cooking with a big flame
by turning the knob to the symbol .
Then adjust the flame as necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside (nucleus). Accordingly
, the top of the flame should lick the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames mean
a waste of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas
burners do not require flat-bottomed
pans: the flames lick the bottom and
spread the heat all over the surface.
No special pans are required for gas
burners. However, thinwalled pans
transmit the heat to the food more
quickly than thick-walled ones.
Since heat doesn't spread evenly on
the pan's bottom, the food may only be
partially heated. Consequently it is advisable to stir the food many times.
A thick pan bottom prevents partial
overheating as it allows sufficient thermic compensation.
Avoid very small pans. Wide and
shallow pans are more suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow a
faster heating. Cooking is not quickened
by placing narrow pans on wide burners. The result is just a waste of gas. For
a proper usage, place small pans on
small burners and large pans on large
burners.
Remember to cover pans to reduce
gas consumption.
Hints and Tips for using the Oven
Always cook with the oven
door closed.
Stand clear when opening the

allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until
it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels
which are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in
Fig. 10.
It is important that these shelves
are correctly positioned as shown
in the picture.

Attention! - Do not place objects
on the oven base and do not cover
any part of the oven with
aluminium foil while cooking, as
this could cause a heat build-up
which would affect the baking
results and damage the oven
enamel. Always place pans, heatresisting pans and aluminium trays
on the shelf which has been
inserted in the shelf runners.
Carefully supervise cooking with
fat or oil, since these types of
foodstuff can result in a fire, if overheated. For the same reason, be
careful when placing or removing
food in the oven, not to let any fat
or oil fall on the oven base. If this
happens, carefully clean the oven
to avoid unpleasant smells or
smoke.
Be careful when you insert and
extract the oven shelf, the dripping
pan and the baking tray from the
oven in order not to damage the
enamelled surfaces of the oven
cavity.

Condensation and Steam
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural
circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it
possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside
and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking
steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the
oven door glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated
before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) will then
be necessary before any cooking.

Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which
will withstand temperatures of 230 °C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc.
should not be placed directly against
the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven
base.
• Do not use baking trays larger than
30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in) as they
will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thick-
ness, conductivity, colour, etc. which
affects the way they transmit heat to the
food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven
glassware and bright shiny utensils
reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized
aluminium, aluminium with non-stick
interior and coloured exterior and
dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and base browning.
Hints and Tips on cooking
Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof
dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In
this case, remember to place the drip
tray in the first position from the bottom
with some water in it. The dripping pan
will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be cooked at a medium
temperature (between 150°C and
175°C). If you need to cook red meat
(slightly browned on the outside and
more gently cooked in the inside), a
higher temperature (between 200°C and
230°C) for a short time is recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at
a medium temperature (between 150°C
and 200°C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) is recommeded when cooking
cakes or baking. Once the cooking has
been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check
the cooking results through the oven
door glass.

Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place
them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only
from the top element. Therefore, you
need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some
water in it.

The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is
still warm, as spillage can be removed
more easily than if it is left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little wasing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the
following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for
non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily
soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar
Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher
proof. If washing them by hand, take
care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough
edges. If necessay, remove stubborn
stains using a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be
removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns
using hot soapy water, and remove
marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool
pad can be used with caution, if the
marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry
with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained
through a ceramic "electrode" and a
metal electrode. Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown
holes are not obstructed.
