GAS BURNERS

Each burner is controlled by a gas tap which opens and closes the gas supply. Line the control knob symbol up with the indicator on the control panel (fig. 3.1) to obtain:

– symbol ● : off

– symbol : full on

(maximum rate)

– symbol : minimum rate To reduce the gas flow to minimum,

rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.

The maximum setting permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum setting allows slower warming of food or maintaining simmering conditions of liquids. Other intermediate operating can be achieved by positioning the control knob indicator between the maximum and minimum setting, but not between the maximum and off positions.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

To ignite the burner:

1) Lightly press and turn the knob anticlockwise and position the knob symbol to the indicator printed on the control panel (fig. 3.2).

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.

Caution! the cooktop becomes very hot while in operation. Keep children away.

DEEP FAT FRYING

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than 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 the control knobs.

Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.

DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near each knob, there is a diagram that indicates which burner is controlled by that knob. Select the burner that is most suitable for the diameter and capacity of the pan to be used. As an indication, the burners and the pans must be used in the following way:

It is important that the base diameter of the pot is at least the same diameter as the burner ring to obtain an efficient heat transfer. Always position pans centrally over the burners.

Adjust the size of the flame so that it does not lick up the side of the pan. Position pan handles so that they cannot be accidentally knocked.

BURNERS POT DIAMETER

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

do not use pans with concave

or convex bases (fig. 3.3)

10

CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER (Fig. 3.4a - 3.4b)

Flat-bottomed pans should be placed directly onto the pan-support. When using a WOK always place the supplied stand in position over the burner to main-

tain the correct operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 3.4a - 3.4b).

IMPORTANT:

The wok pan stand (fig. 3.4b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the triplering burner.

GENERAL FEATURES

It is advisable, upon first use, to turn the oven on to the maximum temperature (position ) to eliminate possible traces of grease from the oven burner. The same operation should be followed for the grill burner.

The gas oven is provided with two burners:

a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower

part of the oven (wattage: 3,70 kW)

b) Grill burner, mounted on the upper

part of the oven (wattage: 2,50 kW).

OVEN BURNER

This burner carries out the normal “oven cooking”. The gas flow to the burner is regulated by a thermostat which maintains the oven at a constant temperature. The temperature of the oven is controlled by a thermostatic probe positioned inside the oven. The probe must always be kept in its housing, in a clean condition, as an incorrect position or encrustment may cause an alteration in the control of the temperature.

WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature knob is numbered from

to (fig. 4.1) indicating the increasing oven temperature value (see table 4.2).

The thermostat which regulates the flow of gas to the oven burner has a safety valve which automatically shuts off the gas supply when the flame goes out. The temperature is kept constant on the regulated value.

IGNITION OF THE OVEN BURNER

1) Open the oven door to the full

extent. WARNING: Risk of explosion!

The oven door must be open during this operation.

2) Lightly press and turn the temperature knob anti-clockwise (fig. 4.4) to the max position ( fig. 4.1).

3) Press the knob firmly until the burner lights.

Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.

In case of mains failure, press the knob firmly and immediately put a lit match or taper to the opening “F” (fig. 4.3).

4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the burner lights before releasing the knob (time to prime the valve).

5) Close the oven door slowly and adjust the burner according to the power required.

If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will automatically shut off the gas supply to the burner. To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to position ●, wait for at

least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

USE OF THE GRILL

Very important: the grill must always be used with the oven door slightly open and with shield "A” mounted (Fig. 4.7).

Mount shield “A” which serves to protect the control panel from the heat. Turn on the grill, as explained in the preceding paragraphs and let the oven preheat for about 5 minutes with the door ajar. Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible. The drip tray should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time

(Grilling for longer than the recommended time may mean the appliance overheats).

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.
