8. USING THE COOKING HOB

8.1 Lighting the hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples.

The optional rack B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooking hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised rack C for use underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter. The reduction C supplied is for use with small pans as well.

The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob

and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until it lights. If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again. On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may 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 keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple.

On models with a thermocouple, if the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

8.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph “8.3 Cooker pan diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles 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.

9. USING THE OVEN

9.1 Warnings and general advice

When the gas oven and gas grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature (275°C) for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which could contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

WARNING: the gas oven must be lit with the oven door open. The oven is equipped with a safety system that blocks ignition of the burner if the door is closed. If you make a mistake in the lighting procedure, open the oven door and wait a few moments before trying to light it again.

WHILE COOKING DESSERTS AND VEGETABLES, LIQUID MAY DRIP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. THIS IS A NATURAL PHYSICAL PHENOMENON WHICH MAINLY OCCURS WHEN PREHEATING HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, OPEN THE DOOR VERY CAREFULLY A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE COOKING.

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

9.2 Cooling system

This system keeps the door and internal components of the oven at a lower temperature through forced recirculation of cool air, guaranteeing increased safety and a longer life for the household appliance. The tangential cooling system remains active even after cooking has finished and continues working when the oven has been switched off in order to disperse all the heat that has built up inside. This mechanism allows all the furniture units surrounding the appliance to be protected, preventing them from overheating.

WARNING: THE COOLING FAN DOES NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE POWER IS CUT. YOU ARE THEREFORE ADVISED NOT TO USE THE OVEN IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

9.3 Using the gas oven

9.3.1 Electronic spark ignition

Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum temperature; the electric spark ignition is activated automatically. When the oven is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, open the oven door completely and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute. If the spark is too weak or it is absent, you are advised to replace the battery - see paragraph “10.5 Sostituzione batteria”.

9.3.2 Manual ignition

Open the oven door fully and turn the thermostat knob while keeping it pressed in. Bring a lighted match close to the mouth of flame pipe surface and press the thermostat knob. Once it is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and make sure that it has remained lit by looking through inspection hole selected by turning the knob clockwise to the desired setting, between

275° C

If the burner is extinguished accidentally, a safety valve will be activated to interrupt the flow of gas. To light it again, first turn the knob to the OFF position ( ) and wait for about one minute. Then relight the gas

following the normal procedures.

If the burner goes out accidentally while in use, turn the knob to the off position and wait for at least one minute before relighting it. During a power cut, the grill burner can still be lit by using a match.

9.4.2 Manual ignition of the gas grill

Having opened the oven door, press the knob and turn it clockwise to the grill position , then light the upper burner of the oven with a match. Once the burner is lit, continue to press down the knob for about 10 seconds. If the burner does not remain lit when the knob is released, leave it for about one minute before trying to light it again. If the

burner goes out accidentally, turn the knob to the off position and wait for at least one minute before relighting it.

WARNING: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE GAS GRILL AND THE GAS OVEN AT THE SAME TIME

9.4.3 How to use the grill

When the oven has been successfully lit, allow it to heat up for 5 minutes before putting in food. Food must be seasoned before cooking. Foods should also be coated with oil or melted butter before cooking. Use the oven tray to collect juice. The foods to be cooked must be placed on the oven rack, which must then be placed on one of the runners fitted in the various types of ovens, following the guidelines below:

FOODS RACK ON THE SHELF

Flat, thin pieces of meat 3

Rolled roasts 2 - 3

Poultry 2 - 3

PRECAUTIONS

Grilling processes must never last more than 60 minutes.

• In models with a gas oven, the oven door must be closed during grill cooking operations.

• Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill; keep children well away

from the appliance.

• When using the oven, remove all unused trays and racks from its interior.

• 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.

11.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any operations, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the inside of the oven.

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after every use of the cooker, after it has cooled.

11.1 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 onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.

11.1.1 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surface. Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather. 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.

11.2 Cleaning the components of the hob

11.2.1 Racks

Remove the racks and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure to remove any encrustations. Replace them on the cooking hob. Continuous contact between the racks and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

Warning: If using cast iron racks (optional, not supplied), at the end of cooking using pans with aluminium bases, you may find white residues on the racks. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the rack and are difficult to remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively aggressive products to clean the pan stand could damage its enamel surface.

11.2.2 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns

For easier cleaning, the caps and the flame-spreader crowns can be removed; wash them with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent, making sure to remove any encrustation, and wait until they are perfectly dry.

WARNING: never wash these parts in a dishwasher. They can be left to soak in warm water and detergent.

Replace the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, and ensuring that the holes A in the flamespreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples.

11.2.3 Igniters and thermocouples

For correct operation, on those models that have them, the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

11.3 Cleaning the oven

For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. Take out all removable parts.

Clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.

11.4 Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.

12. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

The oven may require extraordinary maintenance or replacement of parts subject to wear such as gaskets, bulbs, etc. The following instructions describe how to carry out these minor maintenance operations.

Before any intervention that requires access to live parts, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

12.1 Lubrication of gas oven taps and thermostat knob

Over time, the gas taps and the gas oven thermostat knob may become difficult to turn and get blocked. Clean them internally and replace the lubrication grease.

This operation must be carried out by a specialised technician.

12.2 Oven fan failure

If there is a power cut, the oven fan function cannot be used. To check the operation of the fan, the user needs to turn on the lower burner of the gas oven, set the selector knob to the fan position ( ) and wait

for the oven’s internal temperature to reach or exceed 120-130°C. If the fan does not start to operate, this indicates a fault. In case of a fault, do not attempt to repair it; instead, contact technical assistance.

12.3 Changing the light bulb

Remove bulb protector A by turning it anticlockwise and replace bulb B with a similar one (25 W). Re-fit bulb protector A.

Use oven bulbs only (T 300°C).

12.4 Removing the doors

Lift the levers B and take hold of the two sides of the door with both hands near the hinges A. Raise the door to an angle of about 45° and remove it. To reassemble, fit the hinges A into their grooves, then lower the door into place and release the levers B.

12.5 Removing the door seal

To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the seal may be removed. Before removing the seal, take off the door as described above. Once the door has been taken off, lift the tabs at the corners as shown in the figure.
