GAS BURNERS
(Semi-rapid and triple ring)
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illus-
trated in fig. 2.1) which control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the symbols printed on itself point to the symbol printed on the
control panel achieves the following functions:

The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows simmer 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 position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indi-
cator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and ● positions.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE
(Semi-rapid and triple-ring burners)
Fig. 2.2
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Push and turn the knob in an anti-
clockwise direction up to the
position (maximum rate), push in
and hold the knob until the flame
has been lit (fig. 2.2).
The sparks produced by the lighter
situated inside the relative burner
will light the flame.
In the event that the local gas sup-
ply conditions makes it difficult to
light the burner in position, try
again with the knob in position.
If there is no main electrical supply,
bring a lighted match close to the
burner.
2 – Wait for about ten seconds after
the gas burner has been lit before
letting go the knob (safety device
activation delay).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically stop the gas flow.
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 difficult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

GAS BURNERS (Dual)
The Dual Burner is a very flexible burner which allows different
regulations and optimal cooking.
It is composed by one inner and two outer crowns; the flame of
the inner crown can be regulated separately from the flames of the outer crowns.
The Dual Burner can be used:
- as a small burner (flame produced only by the inner crown) which can be adjusted from the
maximum ( )to the minimum ( )position.
Intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between
the maximum and minimum opening positions, and never between the maximum opening
and ●position.
- as a high-power burner (all flames produced simultaneously by inner and outer crowns)
which can be adjusted from the maximum ( )to the minimum ( )position.
Gas flow to the burner is adjusted by turning the knob (illustrated in fig. 3.3) which controls
the valves.
Turning the knob so that the symbols printed on itself point to the symbol printed on the con-
trol panel achieves the following functions:
Note: To change from using the inner crown only to using both the inner and outer crowns
together, press the control knob down before turning it. You have to do the same when going
from using both crowns to using just the inner crown.

CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNERS (Figs. 2.6a - 2.6b)
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 triple-ring (figs. 2.6a - 2.6b).
Important: The wok pan stand (figs. 2.6a - 2.6b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-
rest for the triple-ring burner.
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH
MAY BE USED ON THE HOB BURNERS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAX.
Semirapid 16 cm 24 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
Dual 26 cm 28 cm
Maximum diameter for woks: 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
CHOICE OF
BURNER
(fig. 2.5)
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the gas knobs indicate the correspond-
ence between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen
according to the diameter and volume
capacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the
pots or pans suitably match the heating
potential of the burners in order not to
jeopardise the efficiency of the burners,
bringing about a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed
on a large burner does not necessarily
mean that boiling conditions are reached
quicker.

Caution!
The griddle becomes very hot dur-
ing use and remains very hot even
after it is switched off.
Keep children well out of reach.
USING THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE FOR
THE FIRST TIME
– Remove the adhesive film which pro-
tects some parts.
– Remove any residual glue carefully,
without using abrasive substances, to
avoid scratching the surfaces.
– Clean the cooking surface carefully.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
power setting knob to the maximum
position (11-12) for about 15 minutes
to remove residual working greases.
The griddle reaches the working temper-
ature very quickly and can grill any food,
without fat and oil, directly on the radiant
zone’s glass-ceramic surface.
Operation of the radiant zone is con-
trolled by a continuous
12-position power regulator.
The signal lamp lights up when the grid-
dle is ON.
USE OF THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE
– Before cooking make sure that the
radiant zone is clean.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
knob to position 12.
– Preheat until the cooking surface
becomes red.
– Then turn the knob to the position
required. The numbers from 1 to 12
indicate the working positions with
temperature increasing as the num-
ber increases.
– Place the food on the radiant zone
and check the cooking by eye.
– Turn off the griddle by turning the
knob to position “ ”.
– As the radiant zone remains hot for
some time after the hob is switched
off, turn the zone off a few minutes
before the end of cooking.
The residual heat will complete the
cooking.
– Do not use the griddle for more
than 30 minutes.

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 1300 W
– Top element 1000 W
– Grill element 2000 W
– Circular element 2200 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to oper-
ate the oven for 30 minutes in the posi-
tion and for another 15 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
.
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 forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in
the oven muffle, which sends it
through the circular heating element
and then sends it back through the
muffle. 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.
