Use

3.4 Using the accessories

Ring reducers

The ring reducers have to be placed on the hob grids. Make sure they are placed properly.

Tray rack

The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray. In this way fat can be collected separately from the food which is being cooked.

Racks and trays

Racks and trays have to be inserted into the side guides until they come to a complete stop.

The mechanical safety locks that prevent the rack from being removed accidentally must face downwards towards the back of the oven cavity.

Gently insert racks and trays into the oven until they come to a stop.

Clean the trays before using them for the first time to remove any residues left by the manufacturing process.

Use

Rotisserie

1. Insert the 4 supplied bushings in the four corner holes of the deep tray and screw them onto the ring nuts with a suitable tool (such as a screwdriver).

2. Position the rotisserie supports in the bushings as shown in the figure below.

3. Prepare the rotisserie rod with the food using the clip forks provided. The clip forks can be tightened using the fastening screws.

4. Once you have prepared the rotisserie rod, place it on the supports. Insert the tip of the rod in the housing of the mechanism on the left-hand support until it stops.

Use

5. Place the tray on the first runner (see “General Description”).

6. Insert the tip of the rod in the rotisserie motor housing on the left of the rear wall of the oven cavity.

These operations must be performed with the oven off and cold.

7. To activate the rotisserie, turn the function

knob to the function and set the

cooking temperature using the temperature knob.

Pour a little water into the tray to prevent smoke from forming.

8. When cooking is complete, remove the tray with the rotisserie.

9. Screw on the handle provided so that you can handle the rotisserie rod more easily.

Use

3.5 Using the hob

All the appliance’s control and monitoring devices are located on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the dedicated knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner ignites. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the

knob to and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob

pressed in for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.

The burner could go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation. Keep the knob pressed in longer.

In case of an accidental switching off, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas valve is open. Return the

knob to and wait at least 60 seconds before lighting it

again.

Correct positioning of the flamespreader crowns and burner caps

Before lighting the hob burners on, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their seats with their dedicated burner caps. Make sure that the holes 1 of the flame-spreader crowns are aligned with the thermocouples 2 and igniters 3.

Practical tips for using the hob

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over.

Cookware diameters:

• AUX: 12 - 14 cm.

• SR: 16 - 24 cm.

• R: 18 - 26 cm.

• DUAL: 18 - 28 cm.

Use

Correct position of the hob racks

Before lighting the hob burners on, make sure that the racks are in place on the same hob.

Remember that:

• The appliance has two side racks (A) and a centre one (B).

• The side racks (A) have a thicker edge that should be facing the side of the appliance.

• The reference projections (1) should be facing the centre of the hob.

• The side racks (A) must be placed on the hob as first elements.

• The centre rack (B) edges have the same thickness.

• Position the centre rack (B) so that the notches (2) are aligned with the reference projections (1) of the side racks (A).

3.6 Using the storage compartment

There is a storage compartment located at the bottom of the cooker; this can be used to store pans or metal objects required for its use.

• To open the storage compartment, pull the handle towards you.

Use

3.7 Using the oven

List of cooking functions

ECO

This function is particularly suitable for cooking on a single shelf with low energy consumption.

Ideal for cooking meat, fish and vegetables. It is not recommended for leavened food.

To obtain maximum energy saving and reduce cooking times, it is recommended to place food in the oven cavity without pre-heat.

Use

Grill

The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (where fitted), gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, spare ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

When using the ECO function, avoid opening the door during cooking.

Cooking (and pre-heat) times are longer with the ECO function.

Conventional

As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and pies, and in any case, particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.

Bottom

The heat coming just from the bottom allows you to complete the cooking of food that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, jam tarts and pizzas.

Fan assisted

The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures consistent cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level cooking,

we recommend using the 1 shelves.)

and 4th

Use

Fan with grill

The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick food. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork).

Fan + lower element

The combination of the fan with just the bottom heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of food already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore needs a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.

Fan forced

The combination of the fan and the circular heating element (incorporated in the rear of the oven cavity) allows you to cook different types of food on several shelves, as long as it needs the same temperatures

and the same type of cooking. Hot air circulation ensures instant and even distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without smells and flavours mingling.

Turbo

The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows different types of foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without smells and flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level cooking,

we recommend using the 1 shelves.)

Circular + fan with grill

The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows you to cook different types of foods on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without smells and flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking.
