6. BEFORE FIRST USE

Do not leave the packing in the home environment. separate the various waste materials and take them to
the nearest special garbage collection centre.

The inside of the appliance should be cleaned to remove all manufacturing residues. For further
information about cleaning, see section "11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE"

7. USE OF THE HOB

7.1 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.

7.2 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 licking the sides (see paragraph “ 7.3 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 re­light the burner.

9. USE OF THE OVEN

9.1 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.

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.

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with the
requirements of the current directive.

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.

9.2 Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after the
oven has been turned on.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time
even after the oven has been turned off.

9.3 Use of the electric grill

For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is already cooked, select the
static grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature. The fan grill function

allows actual cooking procedures to be carried out, thanks to the fan function which ensures that the
heat penetrates into the food. For this cooking mode, select the fan grill function and turn the

thermostat knob to the ideal cooking temperature (never set at more than 220). Cooking procedures in
this mode must never last more than 60 minutes.

All cooking with the grill and grill + spit must be done with the door closed to prevent the knobs
and the front panel of the equipment to overheat.
Failure to do this will void the warranty.

9.3.1 How to use the grill

Food should be flavoured and basted with oil or melted butter before cooking. An oven dish should be
used to contain the sauces. The food should be placed on the oven shelf which is positioned on one of
the guides supplied with the different ovens, following the instructions below:

Instructions for the user

9.4 WARNING

• Cooking procedures in this mode must never last more than 60 minutes.

• In models with electric oven, the door must be close during grilling and grill-rotisserie cooking.

• To avoid dangerous overheating when the oven or the grill is used, the glass cover must always be
up.

• During and after use the accessible parts of the oven may be very hot, and children must always be
kept at a distance.

• During cooking with the rotisserie, one of the oven trays provided with the cooker should be placed in
the bottom of the oven, inserting it on the bottom runners, in order to collect the grease and fats which
may be formed.

• When using the oven, remove all unused baking sheets and shelves from the interior.

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.

11.4 Cleaning of the hob components

11.4.1Grids

Remove the grids and clean them in warm water with a non-abrasive 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.

11.4.2Burner caps and flame cap crowns

The caps and flame-spreader crowns are extractable to facilitate cleaning. Wash
them in hot water with non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove any
encrustations, and wait until they are perfectly dry.

WARNING: do not wash these components in the dishwasher.
The burners can be left to soak in hot water and detergent.

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.

11.4.3The 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.

13

Instructions for the user

11.5 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.

11.6 Door glass

Instructions for the user

12.5 Preventive maintenance

This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a few simple operations have to be
carried out periodically to prevent malfunctioning:

Burners: the burners must be cleaned after every use to ensure correct combustion; make sure that all
the openings and flame ports are clean and free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their
supports.

Gas connection: the gas connection must be checked periodically (at least every 2 years). Each time
the cooker is moved the connection may be stressed: test it for leakages using special sprays or a
solution of soap and water.

Flexible pipes: if a flexible pipe is used, it must be inspected periodically (once a year) for leakages: if
the surface of the pipe appears rigid and cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the gas
supply and replace the pipe with a new one.

Val ves: if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be cleaned and re-greased; this
operation must be carried out by an authorised person

Oven gasket: with time the oven gasket may harden and crack on the surface, resulting in leakage of
heat from the oven and higher temperatures on the control panel and knobs. Check it periodically (once
a year) and replace it if necessary.

13.PROBLEMS AND CAUSES
