F

proceed as follows:

Manual ignition

- hold a flame near the burner, then turn the
corresponding knob in an anticlockwise direction to
the maximum position;

- upon ignition regulate the flame as required.

Models provided with electric ignition:

- push the ignition push button marked by a little spark;

- push the corresponding knob in completely and turn
in an anticlockwise direction to the maximum position;

- upon ignition regulate the flame as required.

- In models provided with a safety device (fig. 1-a, D),
the control knob must be pressed in for approximately
5 seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps
the flame lit.

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the burner cap and crown (fig.1) are correctly
positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position "l".

During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when over­heated, self-ignite.
When using the triple-crown burner, place
the special grid on the pan support (fig.2-a).
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans
having a diameter equal or higher than
50mm), place the special grid (provided only
in some models) on the pan support, as
shown in fig.2-b.

Hints and tips

Pottery

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to
cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as in Fig. 4.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.

Fig. 4

Hotplates

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:

 they should be fairly heavy duty;
 they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller;

 they should have a flat base to ensure good contact

with the plate (see Fig. 5).

This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt
onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.

In models supplied with a cover, if it is made of
glass, it should not be closed when the burners /
hotplates are still hot, as it could splinter.

Using the Gas oven

Ignition

F

 Open the oven door and hold a flame near the hole in

the bottom as shown in fig. 7;

 press the oven knob and turn anti-clockwise until the

maximum temperature position is reached;

 press in the oven knob for approximately 10-15

seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps
the oven burner lit.

If the burner does not light first time, keep the oven door
open and wait 1 minute at least before repeating the
operation. Once the oven has been lit, adjust the flame
as required.
If the flame should accidentally go out, turn the oven
knob at the "off" position (symbol "l") and wait 1 minute
at least before retrying to light the burner.

Ignition of the oven burner must be carried
out with the oven door open.

To adjust automatically the flame in cookers equipped
with thermostat (Fig. 6), turn the knob to the position
corresponding to the temperature desired, after a few
minutes of work.

Oven accessories

The oven is equipped with an enamelled dripping-pan
which function is to collect the juices dripping from the
meat on the grill or on the spit, and a grid for the cooking
of foods on the grill or in a pan.
In models provided with oven grids with a position catch
(fig. 9) and when cooking on the grill or on the spit, you
are advised to fit the dripping-pan (A-fig. 9) in the guides
beneath the grill (B-fig. 9) to avoid dirtying the oven.
if you need to place the dripping-pan over the oven grid
during cooking, position it as shown in the particular of
