6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1 Lighting of the cooking 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.
Grid B should be used with Chinese woks.

Each knob corresponds to the burner
indicated. The appliance is equipped with
an electric lighting device. To light the
burners, press and turn the knob

anticlockwise to the large flame symbol
/ .

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.
Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as
required.
Always check that the control knobs are in the position (off) when
you finish using the hob.

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).

51

Instructions for the user

52

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 flame
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.

7.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad taste.

Instructions for the user

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.

5 cm

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.

7.2 Oven Light

It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.

7.3 Cooling fan system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system, which comes into
operation as soon as a cooking function is selected. This is also the case
for cooking with the minute minder.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from the rear top skirt board on the
rear of the cooking hob, which may continue for a brief period of time
even after the oven has been turned off.
This ventilation system ensures that the temperatures on the outside of
the appliance meet the standards required by the current regulations.

7.4 Storage drawer

The storage drawer is at the bottom of the
cooker, underneath the oven. For access,
pull the bottom of the door.
Never store inflammable materials such as
rags, paper or the like. The compartment is

9. COOKING HINTS

9.1 Traditional cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM
50° TO 250°C

This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre­heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

Use high-rim pans to prevent fat splashing and
dirtying the sides of the oven.

9.2 Hot-air cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM
50° TO 250°C

This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating
is not necessary.

55

Instructions for the user

56

Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.

Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door
open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of
operation.

9.3 Grill cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH AT MAXIMUM

Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the
highest guide. For short-term cooking of small quantities, place the grid
in the third guide from the bottom. For long-term cooking and grills, put
the grid in the lowest guide in accordance with the size of the pieces.
Make sure that the oven door is closed during cooking.

Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door
open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of
operation.

Instructions for the user

9.4 Hot-air grilling

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH FROM 50° TO 250°C

Ensures uniform heat distribution with greater heat penetration into the
food. Food will be lightly browned on the outside and remain soft inside.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

9.5 Defrosting

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION 0

The flow of air produced by the fan ensures quicker defrosting.
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.

The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter
the taste and appearance of the food.

57

Instructions for the user

58

9.6 Spit cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH FROM 50° TO 200°C

Prepare the spit with the food, blocking fork screws A. Insert frame B
into the third guide from the bottom. Remove handle D and position the
spit shaft so that pulley E is guided on the link of frame B in the right
side. Insert the drip tray into the oven as far as it will go until the tip of the
rod is in line with the hole C. Now rock the frames B to insert the tip of
the rod into the drive connection C of the rotisserie motor on the side of
the oven. Pour a bit of water into the pan to avoid smoke from the
dripping.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

Cooking procedures with grill and rotisserie must never last more than
60 minutes.

It is normal for the thermostat light to go on and off intermittently during
cooking. This indicates the temperature inside the oven is regular.

Instructions for the user

10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel

Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts,
switch off the power supply to the machine.

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.

10.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components

10.2.1 Grids

Extract the grids (the central one first, then the side ones). Clean with
warm water and non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove
incrustation. Reassemble positioning the side ones first and then the
central one.

10.2.2 Burner caps, flame cap crowns and burners

To facilitate cleaning, caps, flame cap crowns, and burners are all
removable. To remove the flame separating crown of the fish hob, loosen
the two screws exposed after having removed the cap. Wash all parts
with warm water and non-abrasive detergent taking care to remove all
tough spots. Wait for all parts to be fully dry before remounting.
Replace the flame-spreader crowns, checking that they are positioned in
their housing with their respective caps, taking care that flame-spreader
holes A correspond to the spark plugs and the thermocouples.

10.2.3 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 the oven

For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take
out all removable parts.
Remove the side runners by lifting them at the front and extracting them
from the hole at the back.

• DO NOT USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE INSIDE OF
THE OVEN.

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

Instructions for the user

For easier cleaning, the storage
drawer underneath the oven can
be completely removed.
Pull it right out and raise the front
(as for an ordinary drawer).

10.3.1 Self-cleaning liners

The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled
liners.
These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency
over time.

10.4.1 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 oxidise the residues
present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a
damp sponge

10.4.2 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.

10.4.3 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-nuts “C”

(fig. 2).

5. Reassemble the panels, restoring them to their original position.

10.5 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.

11. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

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

Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.

11.1 Replacement of light bulb

Remove cover A by twisting anticlockwise, replace bulb B with another
similar bulb. Refit the cover A.

Only use oven bulbs (T 300°C).

Instructions for the user

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 extract the pins. If the pins are lost, two
screwdrivers can also be used.

11.3 Oven 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.

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.
