3 - USE OF THE HOB BURNERS
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions.
GAS BURNERS
Gas ow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in g. 3.1)
which control the safety valves.
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line
points to the symbols printed on the panel,
achieves the following functions:
- symbol 0closed valve
- symbol maximum
apertureorow
- symbol minimum
apertureorow
√The maximum aperture position
permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintaining
boiling conditions of liquids.
√ To reduce the gas ow to minimum
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small
amesymbol.
√Other intermediate operating
adjustments can be achieved by
positioning the indicator between the

DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
donotllthepanmorethanonethirdfull
of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO
NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a re, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the control
knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smothertheames.Leavethepantocool
for at least 30minutes before moving the
pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the capacity
used.
As an indication, the burners and the pots
must be used in the following way:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE
USED ON THE BURNERS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxiliary 12 cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex
bases
Fig. 3.3
It is important that the diameter of the pot
be suitable to the potentiality of the burner
so as not to compromise the high output
of the burners and therefore energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not give
you a boiling point in a shorter amount of
time since the capacity of heat absorption
of a liquid mass depends on the volume
and the surface of the pot.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and
turncounter-clockwise(g.3.2)tothe
fullamepositionmarkedbythe
symbol(g.3.1);hold the knob in until
theamehas been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait for a few seconds after the gas
burner has been lit before letting
go of
the knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
Iftheburnerameshouldgooutforsome
reason, the safety valve will automatically
stopthegasow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed 0position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difcult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the FAN oven are
obtained in the following ways:
a. by forced convection
A fan draws in the air contained in
the oven, which circulates it through
the circular heating element and then
forced back into the oven by the fan.
Before the hot air is drawn back
again by the fan to repeat the cycle,
it envelops the food in the oven,
provoking a complete and rapid
cooking. It is possible to cook several
dishes simultaneously.
b. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element.
c. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.
GENERAL FEATURES
With your new Fan oven it is possible to
cook a variety of food using the 2 different
cooking functions.
The 2 positions, thermostatically controlled,
are obtained by 2 heating elements.
• Grill element 2200 W
• Circular element 2500 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position 250) for 60
minutes in the position
and for another
15 minutes in the mode in order to
eliminate any traces of grease from the
electrical resistances.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the hot
heating element inside the oven cavity.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
4 - FAN OVEN
Smells and fumes produced during this
burn off process are not a cause of alarm.
Adequate ventilation should however be
provided in the room where the appliance
is installed, e.g. by opening a window.
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the oven
and introduce it together with the food,
when the oven has reached the desired
temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time
to recuperate the stored heat.
Fig. 4.1 Fig. 4.2

12
OVEN LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on.
The light remains on whilst any of the cooking modes are selected.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob on “0” because the other
positions have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.
Recommended for:
To defrost frozen foods.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.
HOT AIR COOKING
The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and the
temperature must be regulated between 50°C and 250 °C with the thermostat knob.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven.
Cooking temperature may be reduced for fan assisted ovens, see “OVEN TEMPERATURE
GUIDE”.
Recommended for:
For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e.
lasagna,lamb,roastbeef,wholesh,etc.
GRILLING
The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to between 50°C and 225°C .
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.
The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
Use with the oven door closed.
Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling action for browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toasting, etc.
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (g.4.1)
