7. USING THE COOKING HOB
7.1 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 plugs
and thermocouples.
Before lighting the burners lift the glass lid; before closing it again, turn off all the burners and wait for
them to cool.
The optional pan stand B is for use with woks.
To prevent damage to the cooking hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised pan stand C for use
underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The reduction C supplied is for use also with very small pans.
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 counterclockwise 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 a longer
time. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with thermocouple.
On models with 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.
7.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners
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 (see paragraph “7.3 / 7.4 pan
diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid
from boiling over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, 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.

8. USING THE OVEN
8.1 Warnings and general advice
When using the oven and the various heating elements 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 might 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 DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR
COULD OCCUR. THIS IS A NATURAL PHYSICAL PHENOMENON WHICH MAINLY OCCURS WHEN
PREHEATING HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, OPEN THE DOOR A COUPLE
OF TIMES WHILE COOKING, TAKING GREAT CARE.
To prevent any steam in the oven from 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.
8.2 Cooling fan
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 electrical 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 in side. This
mechanism allows all the furniture units surrounding the appliance to be protected, preventing them from
overheating.
8.3 Using the gas oven
8.3.1 Electronic spark ignition
Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it counterclockwise to
the maximum temperature; the electrical 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, interrupt the attempt to light it, open
the oven door completely and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute.
8.3.2 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 the flame pipe
oven 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 the inspection hole

10.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to
the appliance.
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.
10.1 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.
10.1.1 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: 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 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 the parts of the cooking hob
10.2.1 Pan stands
Remove the pan stands and clean them with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure to
remove any encrustation. Replace them on the cooking hob.
Continuous contact between the pan stands 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 pan stands (optional not supplied), at the end of cooking using pans with aluminium
bases, you may find white residues on the pan stands. These residues are usually caused by the pan
base rubbing against the pan stand and are difficult to remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or
excessively aggressive products to clean the pan stand could damage its enamel surface.
