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.
Before lighting the burners lift the glass cover; before lowering the cover, turn off all the burners
and wait for them to cool down.

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 also used for small pans.

Instruction for the user

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 ring is lit. 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. 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 for a little longer. This operation is not
necessary for burners without thermocouples.

For models with thermocouples, if the burner should accidentally go out, a safety device will be

activated which stops the gas flow even if the 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 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 “6.3/6.4
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.

To boil large amounts of water, to fry.

WARNING

When switching on the hob for the first time, or if the hob has not been used for
a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be
dried out by placing the hob on position 1 for 30 minutes.

To use correctly remember to:

• Switch the hob only after having placed the pan on it.

• Use flat and thick bottomed pans.

• Never use pans which are smaller than the hob.

• Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hob.

• After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the

electric hob must be treated with specific cleaning products which are
available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust
formation).

• When cooking with flammable oils and fats, never leave the appliance.

• The hobs will stay hot for a long time after use: do not touch them or place

any objects on them.

• Before switching on the electric hobs, lift up the glass cover on the cooker;
before closing it, switch off the hobs and wait for them to cool down.

• If any dents appear in the hob surface, switch it off immediately and contact
the nearest authorised servicing centre.

ON EQUIPPED MODELS)

The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which

conform to the standing directives.

WARNING: the gas oven is lit with the door open. The oven is equipped
with a safety system which stops the burners being lit when the door is
closed. If this is done wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments
before lighting once more.

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.

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.

How to use the grill

Once the grill is lit, the red warning light will come on. Leave the oven to heat up for five minutes
before placing the food inside.
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:

WARNINGS

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

• In models with gas oven, the door must be half-open on the first catch during grilling and grill-

rotisserie cooking.

• 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. The electric grill and the gas oven cannot be used at the same time.

• 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.

• 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.

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

9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

9.1 Cleaning stainless steel and enamelled versions

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

9.1.1 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.

9.1.2 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.
