Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of the
gas supply.
Make the symbol of the knob match with
the indicator on the control panel to obtain:
– symbol off
– symbol full on (nomi-
nal rate)
– symbol reduced rate
√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 maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aperture
and closed positions.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions and also close the cock
valve on the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.
USE OF THE HOB BURNERS

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.
Fig. 3.3
Fig. 3.2
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 ame
position marked by the symbol
(gs. 3.1 - 3.2) and 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 about ten 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 “ ” position, 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.
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

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 functions are managed by an electronic
programmer which keeps the temperature
set constant by means of a probe inside
the oven cavity.
The oven has the following heating
elements:
• Bottom element 1750 W
• Top element 1200 W
• Grill element 2400 W
• Circular element 2500 W
NOTE:
Upon rst use, it is advisable to operate
the oven for 60 minutes in the position
and for another 15 minutes at the maximum
temperature (thermostat knob on position
225) 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 door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the
MULTIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the
following 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 mufe, which sends it through
the circular heating element and then
sends it back through the mufe.
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.
Attention: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
