6. USING THE HOB

6.1

Lighting the hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The special pan stand B is for use with woks.
22
The burner it controls is shown next to each 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 lights. Keep the knob pressed down for about 2 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer.
If the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open.
Instructions for the User

6.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

7. USING THE OVENS

7.1

Precautions and General Advice

When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the maximum temperature (250-220°C) for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature which will impair the cooking results.
7.2

Oven light

It comes on when the function selector is turned to any setting.

Cooling fan system

7.3
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system, which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function is selected. This is also the case for cooking with the minute minder. Fans cause a steady outflow of air from the rear top skirtboard on the rear of the cooking hob, which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off. This ventilation system ensures that the temperatures on the outside of the appliance meet the standards required by the current regulations.

Storage compartment

7.4
The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker, underneath the ovens. To open it, pull on the top of the door. Never use it to store flammable materials such as rags, paper, etc.; it is intended to take the appliance's metal accessories only.
Caution: when the ovens are in use, the bottom inside surface of the storage compartment may become hot.

9. COOKING ADVICE

The oven should always be preheated in fan mode to 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces electricity consumption, as well as giving better results.
The oven door must be closed during cooking operations.

9.1 Conventional cooking (main and auxiliary ovens)

FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT SET AT 50 - 250°C
THERMOSTAT SET AT 50 -220°C
This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on just one shelf. The oven must be preheated to the preset temperature. Do not place the food in the oven until the thermostat light goes out. Very fatty meats can be placed inside the oven when it is still cold. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat.
Use deep containers to prevent splashes from dirtying the sides of the oven.

10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never use a jet of steam for cleaning the inside of the oven.

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use, first allowing it to cool.

10.1.1 Routine daily cleaning

When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

10.1.2 Food stains or spills

Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers; they will damage surfaces. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not allow spills of foods with high sugar content (e.g. jam) to dry inside the oven. If they dry for too long, they might damage the enamel coating of the inside of the oven.

10.3.1 Oven liners

The oven is fitted with enamelled liners that are continuously self­cleaning. These liners simplify cleaning of the oven and ensure it continues to perform well over time.

10.3.2 Using the self-cleaning liners

To keep the inside of the oven clean and free from food residues and unpleasant smells, it should periodically be operated empty at a temperature of at least 200° C for a time varying between 30 and 60 minutes. This allows the self-cleaning liners to oxidise any deposits present, which can then be wiped away with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled.

10.3.3 Maintenance of self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned using abrasive creams and ordinary cleaners. Simply wipe with a damp sponge to avoid damaging the special enamel coating.

10.3.4 Removing the self-cleaning liners

Remove all accessories from the inside of the oven and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the side runners (fig.1);
2. Extract the side liners "F" and "G" (fig. 2);
3. Extract the back liner "A" after undoing the threaded ring-nut "C"
(fig. 2);
4. Replace the liners in their original positions.
