6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners

Before lighting the cooking hob burners check that the flame cap crowns
are properly positioned with their appropriate burner caps: niche A must
be centred with pin B.
Grid C should be used with Chinese woks.

Each knob corresponds to the burner indicated. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic lighting device. Just press and turn the knob

anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol
Keep the knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat
up. If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the
thermocouple isn’t hot enough. Repeat ignition and keep the knob
pressed longer.

until the burner lights.

If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20
seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).

55

Instructions for the user

6.2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered
containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame
from licking the sides (see paragraph “0 Diameter of containers”). When
water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t
overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle
plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. All
containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or
oils, be extremely careful that they don’t overheat and catch fire.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at
least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

. To regulate, refer to paragraph “5.2 Electronic Programmer”.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or
tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the
enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it
will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

To prevent any steam in the oven creating
problems, open thedoor in two stages: half open
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door
open as short a time as possible to prevent the
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining
the food.

10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let it cool first.

10.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only
specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface,
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

10.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will
damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or
plastic tool if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set
inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage
the enamel lining of the oven.

10.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components

10.2.1 Barbecue griddle

Extract the griddle from its seat (after
leaving it to cool) by lifting it from the front
as shown in the diagram and taking care
not to spill the residues which have
collected in the grooves at the sides.
Clean it with an ordinary detergent and a
non-abrasive sponge.

Instructions for the user

10.2.2 Barbecue drip tray

To remove the drip tray under the
barbecue element:

1. Remove the griddle as described
in point 10.2.1;

2. Raise the heating element and fix
it in place by sliding the retainer to
the right (as shown in the adjacent
diagram);

3. Remove the drip tray using the
two handles and clean using
specific detergents for stainless
steel and a non-abrasive sponge.

10.2.3 Grids

Remove the right-hand pan stands (griddle + fish burner) as shown in the
diagram. There is no special order for removal of the left-hand pan
stands. Clean the pan stands in warm water and non-abrasive detergent,
taking care to remove all deposits. Replace, fitting first the outside pan
stand then the griddle.

10.2.4 Burner caps, flame cap crowns and burners

The burner caps, flame cap crowns and burners are
extractable to facilitate cleaning. Wash them with hot
water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to
remove incrustation, and leave them to dry
completely. Reassemble the burner caps on their
crowns, ensuring that niches A are centred with
burner pins B.

10.2.5 Ignition plugs and thermocouples

To work well, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must
always be very clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a wet rag if necessary. Any dry residue should be
removed with a toothpick or a needle.

10.3 Cleaning of ovens (without self-cleaning panels)

To keep an oven in good condition it must be cleaned regularly. Let it
cool first. Take out all the removable parts.
In the main oven, remove the shelf runners by unscrewing the ring-nut
“A” and extract them from the runner “B” by pulling outward. (Fig. 1)
In the auxiliary oven, remove the shelf runners by lifting them at the front
and extracting them from their rear holes. (Fig. 2)

• Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Rinse and dry.

• Clean the internal walls of the oven with a s oft ammoniac-soaked
cloth. Rinse and dry. If there are still stains or drops, place a damp
ammoniac-soaked cloth on the bottom of the oven, close the door
and after a few hours wash the oven with hot water and liquid
detergent. Rinse and dry.

10.3.1 Self-cleaning liners

The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners.
These liners make the oven easier

10.3.2 Using the self-cleaning liners

Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from
accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at
temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60
minutes, in order to allow the self­present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a
damp sponge

10.3.3 Looking after the self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary
detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special
characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.

10.3.4 Assembling the self-cleaning liners

1. Remove all accessories from the oven;

2. Remove the side grilles (fig.1);

3. Extract the side liners “F” and “G”(fig. 2);

4. Remove the back panel “A” after undoing the threaded ring-nut “C”
(fig. 2).

5. Reassemble the panels, restoring them to their original position.

11. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Ovens periodically require small maintenance interventions or
replacement of parts subject to wear and tear such as gaskets, electric
bulbs etc. Specific instructions for each intervention of this type appear
below.

Before performing any operations requiring access to powered
parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.

11.1 Replacement of light bulbs

Remove cover A by twisting anticlockwise, replace bulb B with another
similar bulb. Refit the cover A.

72

Only use oven bulbs (T 300°C).

Instructions for the user

11.2 Dismantling of the doors

Hold the door on both sides with both hands near hinges A and raise levers
B. Lift up the door forming an angle of about 45° and remove. To refit, slide
the hinges A in the grooves, drop the door and release levers B.

11.3 Oven door gaskets

The door gaskets can be dismantled for thorough
cleaning of the ovens. Before removing the gaskets
the oven doors must be removed as previously
described. With the doors removed, raise the tabs at
the corners as shown in the figure.

11.4 Lubrication of gas taps

With time it may happen that the gas taps get blocked and hard to turn.
Clean them inside and re-grease them. This operation must be done

by a specialised technician.
