USE OF THE HOB BURNERS
3
GAS BURNERS
Gas ow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in g. 3.1).
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line
points to the symbols printed on the panel,
achieves the following functions:
- symbol closed 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
maximum and minimum aperture
positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and closed
positions.
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 and also close the cock
valve on the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and
t
urn counter-clockwise (g. 3.2) to the
full ame position marked by the
symbol (maximum aperture, g. 3.1).
2. Press the ignition button marked by
the symbol (g. 3.3).
The sparks produced by the electrodes
situated next to the burners will light
the selected burner.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
4. To turn it off, turn the knob towards the
right, up to the safety click.
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 HOBS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxiliary 12 cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Wok Max. 36 cm
Do not use pans with concave or
convexe bases
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.

CORRECT USE OF THE RAPID BURNER (gs. 3.5a - 3.5b)
This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the rapid burner.
Warning:
• Using woks without this special grille may cause the burner to malfunction.
• Do not use the grille for ordinary, at-bottomed saucepans.
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the rapid
burner.

a. by natural convection
The heat is produced by the upper and
lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
The heat produced by the lower and
upper heating elements is distributed in
the oven by the fan. Several dishes can
be cooked at the same time.
c. by radiation and ventilation
The heat irradiated by the infrared grill
resistance is distributed in the oven by
the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infrared
grill resistance (use with the oven door
closed).
e. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.
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.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION
The upper and lower heating elements come on and the fan. The heat coming from above
and below is diffused by forced convection. The temperature must be set to between 50°
and 250°C via the thermostat knob.
Recommended for:
Voluminous dishes and large quantities which require the same degree of cooking both
inside and out, for example rolled roasts, turkey, roast legs, cakes etc.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
With the thermostat knob on “ ” only the oven fan is on.
The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.
Recommended for:
To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour. The defrosting times
vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.
VENTILATED GRILL COOKING
The infrared grill and the fan come on.
The heat is diffused mainly by radiation and the fan then distributes it all over the oven.
The oven must be used with the door closed and the temperature can be regulated via
the thermostat knob to between 50° and 200°C maximum.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “GRILLING AND AU GRATIN”.

COOKING ADVICES
COOKING ADVICE STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, 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
175 °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 130 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when
the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn
off the oven and let cool.
REGENERATION
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 and 200 °C.
• that the cooking time depends on the
quantity and the type of foods.
GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN”
Grilling may be done without the roasting
jack on position of the switch, because
the hot air completely envelops the food
that is to be cooked.
Set the thermostat knob between 50°C and
200°C max and after having pre-heated the
oven, simply place the food on the grill pan.
Adding a few dabs of butter before the end
of the cooking time gives the golden “au
gratin” effect.
Grilling with the oven door closed.
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.
USE OF THE GRILL
Turn on the grill, as explained in the
preceding paragraphs and let the oven
preheat 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 with the oven door closed.
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.

18
COOKING DIFFERENT DISHES AT
THE SAME TIME
With the function selector in position
the ventilated oven allows you to cook
different types of food at the same time.
Fish, cakes and meat can be cooked
together without the smells and avours
mixing.
The only precautions required are the
following:
• The cooking temperatures must be
as close as possible with a maximum
difference of 20° - 25°C between the
different foods.
• Different dishes must be placed in
the oven at different times according
to the cooking time required for each
one. This type of cooking obviously
provides a considerable saving on
time and energy.
OVEN COOKING
To cook, before introducing the food, preheat
the oven to the desired temperature.
When the oven has reached the desired
temperature, introduce the food, control
the cooking time and tum off the oven
5 minutes before the theoretical time to
recuperate the stored heat.
COOKING EXAMPLES
Temperatures are approximate as they
vary depending on the quality and amount
of food.
Remember to use ovenproof dishes and to
adjust the oven temperature during cooking
if necessary.
