3 - USE OF COOKING HOB

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 30 min­utes 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.

MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRIC OVEN (Right main oven)

GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.

In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically con­trolled, are obtained by 4 heating ele­ments which are:

– Bottom element 1300 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2200 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the
oven for 30 minutes in the position and
for another 15 minutes at the maximum
temperature (thermostat knob on position

250) in the positions and , to elimi­nate possible traces of grease on the heat­ing elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

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

a. by normal convection

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

b. by forced convection

A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the muffle.
Before the hot air is sucked back
again by the fan to repeat the
described cycle, it envelops the food in
the oven, provoking a complete and
rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.

c. by semi-forced convection

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

d. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

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

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.

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

WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

OVEN LIGHT

By turning the knob onto this setting we light the oven cavity (15 W).
The oven remains alight while any of the functions is on.

THERMOSTAT KNOB (fig. 4.1)

To turn on the heating elements of the
oven, set the switch knob on the desired
program and the thermostat knob onto
the desired temperature.
The elements will turn ON or OFF auto­matically according to the energy need
which is determined by the thermostat.

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 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.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.2)

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

12

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and
the temperature must be regulated between 50° and 250 °C with the thermostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e.
lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob on “●” because the other posi­tions have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the function selector knob to position and the thermostat knob between
50°C and 225°C maximum and with the oven door closed

.
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.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red ray grill and the fan are on.
The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the oven.
The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 200°C maximum with the ther­mostat knob. It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
For correct use see chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN.

Grilling with the oven door closed.

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.

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal
steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

13

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.
The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.
The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 250 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external
degree of cooking; for ie: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

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

185 °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 135 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is,
when the contents of the jars start to
bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

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.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is neces­sary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a tem-

perature between 180 and 200 °C.

– that the cooking time depends on the

quantity and the type of foods.

THAWING AND WARMING UP

The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan
is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most heat being produced by the
upper element.
The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.

14

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF
DIFFERENT FOODS

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on
position

and

gives simultaneous

heterogeneous cooking of different foods.
Different foods such as fish, cake and
meat can be cooked together without
mixing the smells and flavours.
This is possible since the fats and vapours
are oxidized while passing through the
electrical element and therefore are not
deposited onto the foods.

The only precautions 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.

GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”

Grilling may be done by selecting
grill+fan setting with the function
selector knob, because the hot air com­pletely envelops the food that is to be
cooked.
Set the thermostat knob between 50°C
and 200°C maximum and after having
preheated the oven, simply place the
food on the grid.

Close the door

and let the oven oper­ate until grilling is done.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the
end of the cooking time gives the golden
“au gratin” effect.

Grilling with the oven door closed.

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.

USE OF THE GRILL

Set the function selector knob to position

and the thermostat knob between

50°C and 225°C maximum.

Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door closed.

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

Insert the drip pan under the rack to col­lect the cooking juices.

Always grill with the oven door
closed.

Grilling with the oven door closed and

not for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.

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

oven muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the muffle.
Before the hot air is sucked back again
by the fan to repeat the described
cycle, it envelops the food in the oven,
provoking a complete and rapid cook­ing.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.

b. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.

c. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.
