Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the indicator of the knob the sym-
bols printed on the control panel:
- symbol ●: off
- symbol : full on (nominal rate)
- symbol : reduced rate
To open the tap, which allows the flow
of gas to the burner, push the knob and
turn it towards the left.
To turn it off, turn the knob towards the
right up the safety click.
The full-on rate serves to bring foods to
a boil, while the reduced rate consents
the slow heating of foods or the main-
tenance of the boiling.
All of the positions of the different oper-
ations must be chosen between the
maximum and the minimun and never
between the maximum and the turn off
point.

Fig. 3.1
SAFETY VALVES
Some models are equipped with flame-
failure device taps/thermostat.
This device allows to stop the gas input
to the tap/thermostat whenever the flame
goes out.
The tap/thermostat opening has to be
done as follows:
1) Turn the knob to full-on setting.
2) Light the gas and keep the knob
pressed in order to allow the flame to
heat the feeler wich activates the
magnet controlling the gas input.
3) After few seconds (20 max) leave the
knob.
Be careful that the feeler be always
clean as the dirt may act as thermic
insulator.
LIGHTING OF TOP BURNERS
The cooker has an automatic ignition
device.
It is enough to push the knob and turn
the tap on the “full-on” position (fig. 3.3)
until the burner lights, then adjust the
flame.
In case of electric ignition,
push the knob and turn the
tap on the “full-on” posi-
tion.
Then push the switch-but-
ton (fig. 3.2) until the burn-
er lights.
Fig. 3.2
3 - USE OF THE HOB BURNERS
In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least 1 min.

6Fig. 3.4
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:
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 shorten
amount of time since the capacity of
heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.
BURNERS POT DIAMETER
Auxiliary 12 - 16 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 20 cm
Rapid 20 - 24 cm

CORRECT USE OF
DOUBLE-RING BURNER
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed
directly onto the pan-support.
To use the WOK you need to place the
proper stand in order to avoid any faulty
operation of the double-ring burner
(Fig. 3.5)
MODELS WITH BATTERY IGNITION
- If the electronic ignition does not work
make sure that the battery, installed
on the back of the cooker, is not flat
and has been installed correctly (see
the chapter “Battery installation”, page

HOTPLATES
NORMAL HOTPLATES
To switch on the normal hotplate, turn
the knob (Fig. 3.6) onto the desired posi-
tion; the numbers 1 to 6 indicate the
working positions with the increase of
temperature according to the number.
Once boiling point has been reached,
reduce the input according to the heat-
ing intensity desired, keeping in mind
that the plate will continue to heat for 5
minutes after having been turned off.
RAPID HOTPLATES (red dot)
The control knob of the rapid hotplates
is similar to that of a normal plate with
6 working positions (Fig. 3.6).
The features of this plate, which is
equipped with a heat limiter, allow:
– reaching the temperature rapidly
– maximum exploitation of the input with
flat bottom pots
– the limitation of input in the case of
unsuitable pots.
CORRECT USE OF THE
ELECTRICAL PLATES
In using the hotplates you must:
– avoid idle operation (without pots)
– do your best not to pour liquids on the
plates when they are hot
– only use flat bottom pots
– always use pots that completely cover
the surface of the plate.
A lamp signals that the hotplates are
operating.

7 - GENERAL ADVICE
Do not lower the glass lid when burn-
ers or electric plates are still hot or
when the oven is working or still hot.
Do not lay on the glass lid hot pans
and heavy kitchen utensils.
CAUTION: glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners
before shutting the lid.
GLASS LID
For cleaning purposes, the lid can be
easily removed upwards once taken to
the upright position.
Should the hinges slip off, replace them
in their housing being careful that:
– The right housing must receive the
hinge marked “D” while the left hous-
ing must receive the hinge marked “S”
(Fig. 7.1).
REGULATING OF THE BALANCE
Lower the lid and check the correct bal-
ance. While opened at 45° it should
hang up.
If necessary, register the calibration of
the hinge springs using the screws “R”
(fig. 7.1).

18
GENERAL ADVICE
It is advisable to clean when the appli-
ance is cold and especially for cleaning
the enamelled parts.
Avoid leaving alcaline or acidic sub-
stances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on
the surfaces. Avoid using cleaning prod-
ucts with a chlorine or acidic base.
ENAMELLED PARTS
All of the enamelled parts must be
washed only with a sponge and soapy
water or with non-abrasive products.
Dry, preferably, with deer skin.
HOT PLATE
Foods burned on the hot plates must
always be cleaned dry.
Do not use water to avoid the forming
of rust. Be careful with the central feeler
of the automatic plates, it must never be
shined and must only be cleaned with a
damp cloth.
After its use, pour a bit of oil onto the
warm plate and rub with a cloth.
Always switch the cooker off at the
mains isolating switch before clean-
ing or touching any electrical part.
BURNERS, GRATES AND RACKS
These parts may be removed and
washed with suitable products.
The burners and their caps must be well
dried after cleaning and put back per-
fectly into their slots.
It is very important to verify the position-
ing of the burner-caps because a mis-
placing in their slots can cause serious
damage.
In the appliances with electrical ignition
for the burners, verify that the electrode
is always cleaned well as to permit the
regular snap of the spark.
8 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
OVEN
The oven must always be cleaned after
every use, using suitable products and
keeping in mind that its operation for 30
minutes on the highest temperature elim-
inates most grime reducing it to ashes.
The clean-up of the oven with catalytic
self-cleaning enamel is done automati-
cally during cooking, and therefore no
intervention is necessary.
Only when the grime is particularly resis-
tant it is advisable to increase the clean-
ing time leaving the electrical elements
on at the maximun temperature, with the
oven empty. It is mandatory not to use
abrasive substances so as not to dam-
age the self-cleaning coating.
Fig. 8.1
OVEN DOOR
The oven door is cleaned in the same
way that is advisable for the enamelled
surfaces.
The internal glass of the oven door can
be easily removed for cleaning by
unscrewing the two lateral fixing screws
(fig. 8.1).
SUBSTITUTION OF THE OVEN LAMP
Before replacing the oven lamp, make
sure to disconnect the appliance mains.
The light bulb must be a type resistant
to high temperatures (300° C).

Models with battery ignition
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Insert a type C battery (1.5 Volt) into
the battery compartment on the back
of the cooker (fig. 8.2).
This battery is the power supply for
the electronic ignition of gas burners.
Batteries last on average for about two
years (alkaline battery) depending on
how often the electronic ignition is
used.
Notes for battery installation or
replacement:
- Only use a type C 1.5 Volt battery.
- Check for correct polarity (fig. 8.3
and label to the side of the battery
compartment).
Important notes:
- Remove the battery if the cooker is
not going to be used for a long time.
- If the battery leaks, replace it imme-
diately. Avoid touching the leaked
liquid and make sure it does not
come into contact with clothes or
other items.
- Clean the battery compartment care-
fully before installing the new one.
- Note: The battery is a potential sour-
ce of danger for children. Keep them
away.
- Dispose of flat batteries properly.

20
LOCATION
The cooker has “type X” or “Class 1”overheating protection so that it can be installed
next to a cabinet whose height is greater than that of the cooker.
It is advisable that the kitchen furniture near the sides of the cooker is made of
heat resistant material, minimum 75 °K.
