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.
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 reducer B is for use with woks.
To prevent damage to the hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised pan stand C for use
underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The pan stand C supplied is for use even with small pans.
Instructions for the User
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob.
The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. On some models,
simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol
, until the burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15 seconds, turn the
knob to 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. In
models with burner ignition button, turn the knob as already described while
pressing the button. On models equipped with valves, once the burner has
ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few 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.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down
for longer. This is not necessary on burners 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 back to the
off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.
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.

ATTENTION
When the plate is switched on for the first time or has been out of use for a long
period, it should be dried by turning it on at setting 1 for 30 minutes, to eliminate
any moisture absorbed by the insulating material.
For correct use, follow these rules:
Do not switch the plate on until you have placed the pan on it.
• Use pans with thick, flat bottoms.
• Never use pans smaller than the plate.
• Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the plate.
• After use, to keep the electric plate in good condition and ensure its surface
remains clean and shining, it must be treated with the appropriate

7. USING THE OVEN
In models with electronic programmer, before using the oven, check that the display is showing the
symbol.
In models with analogue clock and timer knob, locate on the symbol.
7.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum
temperature (260°C for electric oven and 275° for gas oven) for long enough to burn off any oily
residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.
After an interruption in the electricity supply, the programmer display flashes at regular intervals,
showing
. For setting instructions, see point "8. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER”.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with
directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and relevant national regulations.
WARNING: the gas oven's door must be open when lit. The oven is fitted
with a safety system which cuts out burner ignition if the door is closed. If
you mistakenly attempt to light the burner with the door closed, open the
door and wait a few moments before trying again.
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.

Poultry 2 – 3
ATTENTION
• Grilling processes must never last more than 60 minutes.
• In models with gas oven, the oven door must be half-open to the first catch during grill
and grill + rotisserie cooking operations. Fit the knob guard fitted into the runners
provided in the top of the oven to prevent the knobs and front panel from overheating.
• In models with electric oven, the oven door must be closed during grill and grill +
rotisserie cooking operations.
• To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's glass lid must always be raised when
using the oven or grill.
• Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill; keep children well
away from the appliance.
• During rotisserie cooking operations, one of the pans supplied with the cooker should be
placed on the bottom of the oven, on the bottom runners, to collect any grease and fat
produced.
• When using the oven, remove all unused pans and shelves from its interior.
• 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.

11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
11.1 Cleaning enamel
To keep enamel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use of the cooker, after
allowing it to cool.
11.1.1 Routine daily cleaning
When cleaning and caring for enamelled 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.
11.1.2 Food stains or spills
Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which will damage the surface.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products 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.

Replace the flame diffuser rings, checking that they 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.
11.2.4 The plugs and thermocouples
For best performance, on the relevant models the ignition plugs and
thermocouples must always be kept thoroughly clean. Check them frequently
and if necessary clean them with a wet cloth. Remove any dry residues with a
wooden toothpick or a needle.
11.3 Cleaning the oven
To keep the oven in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after allowing it to cool down.
Remove all removable parts.
Clean the oven shelves with hot water and non-abrasive detergents, rinse and dry.
