COOKING

 Use low and wide cookware for preparing food on gas burners. Make sure the burner flames heat the dish bottom and do not go beyond its rim.
 The appliance is fitted with different size burners. For optimum (economical) consumption of gas use the recommended cookware bottom diameters:

- sm all b urn er fr om Ø 12 0 to Ø 1 6 0 mm,

- me d iu m bur ne r f ro m Ø 16 0 to Ø 220 m m,

- la rge b urn er fr om Ø 22 0 t o Ø 2 80 mm .

 Rotation of control knob sets the gas heating power (flame size) between the “MAXIMUM POWER” position and “SAVING” position. To reach the “SAVING” position, the

knob must be rotated to the extreme left position. After the food is brought to boiling point, reduce the gas power to the position sufficient to maintain the desired cooking
stage.

CAUTION:

 Before opening the hob lid any spilled liquid must be removed from the lid surface.
 Do not close the hob lid if the burners are still hot!

BAKING / ROASTING FOOD

 Preheat the oven for a period of 10 - 15 min before putting yeast dough to bake.
 Put the baking tray to the centre of oven, keep the distance between back wall and baking tray

A TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

The oven knob is set to the position 8. After preheating and setting the oven temperature selector knob to the selected temperature put the food in the oven. The selected
temperature will automatically be maintained throughout the baking/roasting procedure. Check the suggested numerical value setting of the temperature selector for each kind
of food and baking/roasting method.

 For best baking/roasting results insert the grid with the tray into the second level guide from below.
 Experience says that yeast dough is well baked after 25 – 30 minutes, Christmas cake after 45 minutes, and pastry after 12 – 18 minutes. However, these times are merely

referential and it is necessary to test them individually.

 If possible, avoid opening the oven door during the baking process if possible. The temperature regime within the oven might be disturbed, resulting in prolonged baking

time or burnt food.

 If you should detect considerable differences between the set temperature and the actual oven temperature, contact qualified service personnel.

HELPFUL HINT:

When baking high rise yeast dough put it on aluminum baking tray and insert it in the second guide level from the bottom.
