HOB BURNERS
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas tap
operated by a control knob (fig. 4.1) which has 3
positions marked on the control panel, these are:
– Symbol 0: tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol : High (maximum)
– Symbol : Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the
selected position.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:
1)
Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full flame position
marked by the symbol (fig. 4.1) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before releasing the knob (starting
time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.
Important
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed 0 position, wait for at least 1
minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maxi-
mum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
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 flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, not between the
maximum aperture and closed positions.
N.B. When the hob is not being use , set the gas knobs to their close positions
an also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near each knob, there is a diagram that indicates which burner
is controlled by that knob.
Select the burner that is most suitable for the diameter and capacity of the pan to be
used.
As an indication, the burners and the pans must be used in the following way:
It is important that the base diameter of the pot is at least the same diameter as the
burner ring to obtain an efficient heat transfer.
Always position pans centrally over the burners.
A just the size of the flame so that it oes not lick up the si e of the pan.

GENERAL FEATURES
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 1200 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2200 W
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 250) in the positions
and , to eliminate possible traces of
grease on the heating elements.
Clean the oven and accessories with
warm water and washing-up liquid.
WARNING:
The oor is hot, use the han le.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch
the hot heating element insi e the
oven cavity.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-
FUNCTION oven are obtained in the
following ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by force convection
The fan draws in air contained with-
in the oven housing at the rear of
the oven and forces it over the circu-
lar heating element. The hot air
envelops the food in the oven givin
faster and more even cooking before
it is drawn back into the housing to
repeat the cycle. It is possible to cook
several dishes simultaneously due to
the even distribution of heat within
the oven.
c. by force semi-convection
The heat produced by the top and
bottom heating elements is distrib-
uted throughout the oven by the
fan.
. by ra iant heat
The food is grilled by the infra red
grill element.
e. by ra iant heat an ventilation
The food is grilled by the grill ele-
ment is distributed throughout the
oven
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.
Attention: the oven oor
becomes very hot uring opera-
tion. Keep chil ren away.

wise until the required temperature is reached (from 50 to 250 °C).
The light above the temperature selector will illuminate when the oven is swiched on
and turns off when the oven reaches the correct temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during cooking in line with the oven temperature.
OVEN LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on.
It remains on in all the cooking modes.
TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat being dispersed by natural
convection. The temperature range must be set between 50 °C and 250 °C using
the thermostat.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example
roasts, spare pork ribs, meringues etc.

16
DEFROST
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “ ” - other temper-
ature have no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.
Recommen e for:
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.
FAN GRILL
Both the grill and the fan come on. Most of the cooking is done by grilling and then
the hot air circulated around the oven. The oven door should be kept close .
The temperature can be set between 50 °C and 175 °C max.
The oven should be preheated for 5 minutes before cooking. For further cooking hints
see “GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN”.
Recommen e for:

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time on full heat (200 °C).
Caution: the oven oor becomes very hot uring operation.
Keep chil ren well out of reach.
FAN FORCED
The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and
the temperature can be varied to between 50 °C and 250 °C via the thermostat knob.
The oven does not require preheating.
Recommen e for:
Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example
lasagne, lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.
GRILLING
The infrared grill element comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation. Set the thermo-
stat knob to between 50 °C and 200 °C.
Always grill with the oven oor close .
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
Recommen e for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time on full heat (200 °C).
Caution: the oven oor becomes very hot uring operation.
Keep chil ren well out of reach.

17
MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE AFTER COOKING OR
SLOWLY HEATING FOODS
The upper element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is circulated by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50 °C and 140 °C via the thermostat knob.
Recommen e for:
Keeping food warm after any type of cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.
MULTI-FUNCTION
The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan come on - the heat from
the element being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50 °C and 250 °C using the thermostat.
Recommen e for:
Large bulky quantities of food that require even cooking throughout for example large
roasts, turkey, roast turkey, cakes etc.
COOKING ADVICE
Remember to keep children away from the appliance when you use the grill or oven, since
these parts become very hot.
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be preserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:
a. Set the switch to position .
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and
the door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble,
turn off the oven and let cool.
Check your recycle book for full instructions.

18
WARMING BREAD
Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150 °C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven
for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
■that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 °C and 200 °C.
■that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS
The oven set on position can cook several different foods together. Foods as
diverse as fish and cakes can be cooked together without the cross transference of
flavours. This is because the fats and cooking smell that would normally be
deposited on the different foods are oxidised and are not absorbed by the foods.
The cooking temperature of the foods, however must be within 20-25 °C of each
other. The food with the longest cooking time will be put into the oven first and
the other foods are added as necessary according to their cooking times.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes with the door closed.
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.
GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN
As the hot air completely covers the food to be cooked, grilling may be done with
the food on the rack in the oven. The knob should be switched to position .
The thermostat should be set to 50 °C and 175 °C max and the oven pre-heated.
The food should be placed on a rack in the oven for the required cooking time.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is use .
Chil ren shoul be kept away.

19
THERMOSTAT KNOB (Fig. 6.2)
This only sets the cooking temperature
and does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required tem-
perature is reached (from 50 to 250 °C).
The light above the temperature selector
will illuminate when the oven is swiched
on and turns off when the oven reaches
the correct temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during
cooking in line with the oven tempera-
ture.
