3 - USE OF COOKING HOB
GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the lever of the knob match with
the indicator on the control panel to
obtain:
– symbol ●: off
– symbol : full on (nominal rate)
– symbol : reduced rate
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point
the lever towards the small flame
symbol.
Fig. 3.1
Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the lever between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and off
positions.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ensure maximum burner efficiency
when using the hob in conjunction
with the main oven, is preferable to
ignite hob burners only after the oven
has been preheated to the desired
temperature (about 10 minutes).
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-
clockwise, and position the knob
indicator to the symbol printed on the
control panel (fig. 3.2).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric
ignition; or, in the case of a mains
failure light the burner with a match or
lighted taper.
3) Adjust the burner according to the
setting required.
Fig. 3.2
The maximum aperture position permits
rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the min-
imum aperture position allows slower
warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids (simmering).

WRONG
CORRECT
CORRECT USE OF
DOUBLE-RING BURNER
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed
directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place
the supplied stand in the burner to avoid
any faulty operation of the double-ring
burner (Fig. 3.4).
7
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 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
BURNERS POT DIAMETER
Auxiliary 12 - 16 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 22 cm
Rapid 20 - 24 cm
Double-ring up to 30 cm

Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
4 - GAS OVEN
GENERAL FEATURES
The oven is supplied completely clean; it
is advisable, however, upon first use, to
turn the oven on to the maximum tem-
perature (position ) to eliminate
possible traces of grease from the oven
burner. The same operation should be
completed for grill burner.
The gas oven is provided with two burn-
ers:
a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower
part of the oven (wattage: 6,20 kW)
b) Grill burner, mounted on the upper
part of the oven (wattage: 4,65 kW).
If hob burners are already in use it is
preferable to await about 10 minutes
before operating the oven.
OVEN BURNER
This carries out normal “oven cooking”.
The gas flow to the burner is regulated
by a thermostat which maintains the
oven temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is
assured by a thermostatic probe posi-
tioned inside the oven.
The probe must be always kept in its
housing, in a clean condition, as an
incorrect position or encrustment may
cause an alteration in the control of the
temperature.
IGNITION OF THE OVEN BURNER
The thermostat allows the automatic
control of the temperature.
The gas delivery to the oven burner is
controlled by a two way thermostatic tap
(oven and grill burners) with flame-fail-
ure device.
To light the oven burner operate as fol-
lows:
1) Open the oven door
2) Lightly press and turn the thermostat
knob anti-clockwise to max position
“”.
3) Press the knob right down to prime
the electric ignition.
WARNING: Risk of explosion! The
oven door must be open during
this operation.
In case of power cut, press the knob
and immediately approach a lighted
match to the opening “A” (fig. 4.3).
Never continue this operation for
more than 15 seconds. If the burn-
er has still not ignited, wait for
about 1 minute prior to repeating
the ignition.
4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the
burner lighting before releasing the
knob (time of priming of the valve).
5) Close the oven door slowly and adjust
the burner according to the power
required.
If the flame extinguishes for any reason,
the safety valve will automatically shut
off the gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven
control knob to position ●, wait for at
least 1 minute and then repeat the
lighting procedure.

OVEN COOKING
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.
COOKING EXAMPLES
Temperatures and times are approxi-
mate as they vary depending on the
