6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB
6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners
Before lighting the cooking hob burners check that the flam e cap crowns are properly positioned with their appropriate bur ner 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 a nd turn the knob
anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol
until the burner lights. 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.
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).
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 flam e from licking the sides (see paragraph “6.3 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.

6.4 Using the griddle plate
The griddle plate is coated with a thin film of non-stick material (Teflon). This film is very delicate and could be damaged or scratched by any metal cooking tool. Use only wooden or heat resistant plastic tools.
7. USE OF THE OVENS
7.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250-220°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.
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 the door 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.

Instructions for the user
10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the inside of the oven.
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.
71
Instructions for the user
10.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.
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.
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.

Instructions for the user
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 re gularly. 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 soft ammoniac-soaked cloth. Rinse and dry. If there are still stains or drops, place a d amp ammoniac-soaked cloth on the bottom of the oven, clos e 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
73
The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners. These liners make the oven easier to clean and ens ure its efficiency over time.
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 self-cleaning liners to oxidis e the residues present; 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.
Only use oven bulbs (T 300°C).

11.2 Removing the door
Open the door completely and fit the pins (supplied) into the holes from the inside. Close the door to an angle of about 45°, lift it and remove it from its seat. To replace, fit the hinges into the grooves provided, then lower the door until it comes to rest and e xtract the pins. If the pins are lost, two screwdrivers can also be used.
Instructions for the user
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.
