6. Use of the hob

6.1 Lighting of the hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in the
correct position and that their burner caps are in place, making sure
that the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the spark plugs
and thermocouples.
The optional grid B is for use with “woks” (Chinese pans).
To prevent deterioration of the hob we have equipped the cooker
with a raised pan stand C to be placed underneath pans more than
26 cm in diameter.
The supplied reduction rest C is used also for small pans.

The drawing next to each knob shows the
corresponding burner. The appliance has an
electronic lighting device. Simply press and turn the
knob anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol ,
until the flame is lit. Hold the knob down for a few
seconds to allow the thermocouples to heat up. The
burner may go out when the knob is released: this is because the
thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the
operation holding down the knob a little longer. This operation is not
necessary for burners without thermocouples.

For models with thermocouples, should the burner accidentally
go out, a safety device will be activated which stops the gas
flow even if the tap is open.

6.2 Practical advice for using the hob burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use
covered vessel that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent
the flame from heating the sides (see paragraph “6.3 Diameter of
the vessels to be used on each burner”). When water reaches the
boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t overflow. To avoid
burns or damage to the hob, all vessels or griddle plates must be
placed within the perimeter of the hob. All vessels must 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.

7. Use of the oven

For the models with electronic programmer, before using the
oven make sure that the display shows the symbol .

7.1 Warnings and general advice

Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the
maximum temperature (260°C) for as long as it takes to burn off
any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the
food.
After a power cut, the oven display will flash intermittently and show

0:00 . To adjust refer to paragraph “8. ELECTRONIC

PROGRAMMER ”.

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 problems caused by steam in the oven,
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.

23

7.2 Use of the electric grill

For short cooking times, for example for browning
already-cooked meat, select the static grill function

; set the thermostat knob to maximum

temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by
means of the variable grill knob. The ventilated grill
function allows actual cooking to be done, thanks to
the forced ventilation which lets heat penetrate inside
the food. For this type of cooking select the ventilated grill function

, set the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature

(never more than 225°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the
variable grill knob. Cooking time must not exceed 60 minutes.

7.2.1 Operation of the grill + rotisserie

Both the static and the fan grill functions can be used for cooking in
combination with the rotisserie. Fit the spit rod into the rotisserie
bushing, select the or fan grill function and set the thermostat
knob to maximum temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by
means of the variable grill knob, without exceeding the

3

/4

stroke as
shown in the figure.
Cooking procedures with grill and rotisserie must never last more
than 60 minutes.
All cooking procedures with grill + rotisserie must be carried out
with the door closed to prevent the knobs and front panel of the
appliance from overheating.

Instructions for the user

10. Cleaning and maintenance

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel and enamelled versions

To maintain stainless steel in good condition clean it regularly after
each use, once it has cooled down.

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.

10.2 Cleaning of the hob components

10.2.1 Grids

Remove the grids and clean them in warm water with a non­abrasive detergent, taking care to remove any encrustations.
Replace them on the hob.
Continuous contact of the grids with the flame can cause the
enamel near the hot areas to be altered. This is completely natural
and does not compromise the functionality of the component.

10.2.3 The spark plugs and thermocouples

To function properly the spark plugs and thermocouples
must always be clean (on the models which are
equipped with them). Check them regularly and clean
with a damp cloth if necessary. Any dry residues can be
removed with a toothpick or a needle.

10.2.4 The burners

The burners can be left to soak in hot water and detergent.

10.3 Cleaning of oven

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

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

• 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.

10.4 Door glass

The door glass should always be kept clean. Use absorbent kitchen
paper to clean. In case of tough spots, clean with a damp sponge
using regular detergent.

When cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly
since detergent and water drips might damage its operation
and appearance.
