How To Use the Hob Burners
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a
separate gas tap operated by a control
knob (fig. 4.3) which has 3 positions
marked on the knob, these are:
– Symbol ●: tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol : High (maximum)
– Symbol : Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise
to the selected position.
Low High
Lighting of the hob burners
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be pursued:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-clockwise, and make the symbol printed on
the knob to mach with the indicator on the control panel (fig. 4.3).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric ignition; or, in case of power cut, approach a
flame to the burner.
3) Adjust the burner according to the power required.
To turn the burner off, fully rotate the knob clockwise to the off position: ●.
The maximum setting of the control tap is for boiling, the minimum setting is for slow
cooking and simmering.
All working positions must be chosen between the maximum and minimum setting, never
between the maximum setting and the “OFF” position.
Fig. 4.3
Electric ignition
The sparks generated by the electrodes close to the burners will ignite the chosen burn-
er. Whenever the lighting of the burners will result difficult due to peculiar conditions of
the gas features or supply, it is advised to repeat the ignition with the knob on “minimum”
position.
15

Choice of burner
Burners Pan diameter
Auxiliary 12 ÷ 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 24 cm
Rapid 24 ÷ 24 cm
Triple-ring 26 ÷ 28 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Fig. 4.4
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.
Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are
offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the infortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
16

CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any
faulty operation of the triple-ring burner.

6 - How To Use the Multi-function oven
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
As its name indicates, this is an oven
that presents particular features from an
operational point of view.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically con-
trolled, are obtained by 4 heating ele-
ments which are:
– Bottom element 2050 W
– Top element 1250 W
– Grill element 2200 W
– Circular element 2500 W
– Usable oven volume 96 dm3
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the
oven for 30 minutes in the position and
for another 30 minutes at the maximum
temperature (thermostat knob on position
225) in the positions and , to elim-
inate possible traces of grease on the heat-
ing elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with warm
water and washing-up liquid.
WARNING:
The door is hot use the handle.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-
FUNCTION oven are obtained in the fol-
lowing ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper and
lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the
oven muffle, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the muffle.
Before the hot air is sucked back
again by the fan to repeat the
described cycle, it envelops the food
in the oven, provoking a complete and
rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.
c. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red
grill element.
e. by radiation and ventilation
The irradiated heat from the infra red
grill element is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.

THERMOSTAT KNOB
To turn on the heating elements of the
oven, set the switch knob on the desired
program and the thermostat knob onto
the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, it is necessary
to make the knob lever meet the chosen
number.
The elements will turn on or off automat-
ically according to the energy need
which is determined by the thermostat.
The operation of the heating elements is
signalled by a light on the control panel.
Light on equal heating.
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven for one of the following functions:
TRADITIONAL CONVECTION
COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements are
switched on. The heat is diffused by
natural convection and the temperature
must be regulated between 50° C and
225° C with the thermostat knob.
It is necessary to preheat the oven before
introducing the foods to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED USE:
For foods which require the same cooking
temperature both internally and externally,
i. e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.
OVEN LIGHT
By turning the knob onto this setting
(see picture aside) we light the oven
cavity (15 W).
The oven remains alight while any of the
functions is on.
