pressed in for approximately 5 sec nds until the
safety al e automatically keeps the flame lit.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the burner cap and crown (fig.1-A,B) are correctly
positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position "l".
During c king, when using fats r ils, take
particular care as they can, when ver-
heated, self-ignite.
When using the triple-cr wn burner, place
the special grid n the pan supp rt (fig.2-A).
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans
having a diameter equal r higher than
50mm), place the special grid n the pan
supp rt, as sh wn in fig.2-B.
Triple-crown burner
In models pro ided with triple-crown burner, always
ignite the burner before putting the pans on.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned.
Control knob for the hotplates

Hints and tips
Pottery
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you ha e to
cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily o erflow.
Moreo er, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the o en and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
A oid putting plastic-handled pans in the o en as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as in Fig. 4.
It is also ad isable to co er any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.
Hotplates
Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
ha e se eral characteristics:
 they should be fairly hea y duty;
 they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller;
 they should ha e a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate (see Fig. 5).
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.
Ensure pans are large enough to a oid liquids being spilt
onto the plates.
Ne er lea e the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.
In m dels supplied with a c ver, if it is made f
glass, it sh uld n t be cl sed when the burners are
still h t, as it c uld splinter.

Suggestions for the use of the gas
burners
Start your cooking with a big flame by turning the knob
to the symbol . Then adjust the flame as necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside
(nucleus). Accordingly , the top of the flame should lick
the bottom of the pan. Excessi e flames mean a waste
of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not require
flat-bottomed pans: the flames lick the bottom and
spread the heat all o er the surface.
No special pans are required for gas burners. Howe er,
thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the food more
quickly than thick-walled ones.
Since heat doesn't spread e enly on the pan's bottom,
the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it
is ad isable to stir the food many times.
A thick pan bottom pre ents partial o erheating as it
allows sufficient thermic compensation.
A oid ery small pans. Wide and shallow pans are more
suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow a
faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by placing
narrow pans on wide burners. The result is just a waste
of gas. For a proper usage, place small pans on small
burners and large pans on large burners.
Remember to co er pans to reduce gas consumption.
Suggestions for the use of the oven
Traditional cooking
Heat deri es from the top and the bottom, it is therefore
preferable to use the central guides. If cooking requires
more heat from the bottom or the top, use the upper or
lower guides.
Fan cooking
Heat is transmitted to food through pre-heated air and is
forcibly circulated inside the o en by a fan positioned on
the back of the o en itself. In this way heat quickly and
uniformly reaches all parts of the o en thus cooking
arious foods placed on more than one shelf.
With this type of cooking the elimination of humidity from
the air and a drier en ironment pre ent the transmission
and mixture of smells and tastes.
The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf (fig.14)
allows many arious dishes to be prepared at the same
time, and up to three trays of biscuits or mini-pizzas to
be consumed immediately or to be frozen.
Furthermore, this o en is especially con enient for quick
defreezing, sterilizing preser es, homemade fruit in
syrup and finally to dry mushrooms or fruit.
Cooking with the multi-function
oven
With this type of o en it is possible to carry out cooking
traditionally, by con ection, and by grill; it therefore
allows cooking to be optimized.
Advice for use of the traditional
oven (gas and electric)
F r the c king f cakes
Pre-heat the o en , unless indicated differently, for at
least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the o en door
when cooking dishes which must raise (e.g. raised
pastries and soufflés); the jet of cold air would block the
raising process. To check if cakes are cooked, insert a
toothpick into the mixture; if it comes out clean the cake
is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has
passed before doing this check.
As a general rule remember that:
a dish which is well-cooked on the outside but not
sufficiently cooked inside would ha e required a lower
temperature and longer cooking time. On the contrary,
a dry texture would ha e required a shorter time and
higher cooking temperature.
F r the c king f meat
Meat to be cooked in the o en should weigh at least 1
kilo to a oid its becoming too dry. If you want roasts
with a good colour, use ery little oil. If the piece is lean,
use oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are on the
other hand unnecessary if the piece has a strip of fat. If
FO 0061
Fig. 14

10
the piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in
the o en with this side upwards; when melting the fat
will grease the lower side sufficiently.
Red meat should be remo ed from the fridge one hour
before cooking otherwise the sudden change of tempe-
rature could cause it to become tough. A roast,
especially if of red meat, must not be salted at the
beginning of cooking as salt causes juices and blood to
seep out of the òmeat, thus pre enting the formation of
a well-browned crust.
It is ad isable to salt the outside of the meat after just
o er half the cooking time.
Place the roast in the o en in a dish ha ing a low rim; a
deep dish shields heat.
Meat can be placed on an o enproof dish or directly on
the grill, under which the dripping pan will be inserted to
collect juice. Ingredients for gra y should only be put in
the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise
they should be added during the last half hour.
Begin cooking rare meat at a high temperature, reducing
the temperature to finish cooking the inside.
The cooking temperature for white meat can be mode-
rate throughout.
The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing the
meat with a fork; if it does not gi e the meat is cooked.
At the end of cooking it is ad isable to wait at least 15
minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices
are not lost.
Before ser ing plates can be kept warm in the o en at
minimum temperature.
F r the c king f fish:
Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperatu-
re. Cook medium-sized fish initially at a high tempera-
ture and then gradually lower the temperature.
Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start to
finish.
Check that baked fish is cooked by gently lifting one side
of the gut; the meat must be white and opaque
throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout or
similar.
Grilling
The following types of meat are suitable for grilling.
Mostly meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of arious
sizes, but not usually ery thick, poultry cut in half and
flattened, fish, some egetables (e.g. courgettes,
aubergines, tomatoes, etc.), skewers of meat or fish and
seafood.
Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed with
oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be salted
upon completion of cooking; whereas fish should be
salted on the inside before cooking. The grill should be
positioned in the guides nearest or furthest from the grill
element according to the thickness of the meat, in order
to a oid burning the surface and cooking the inside
insufficiently.
The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and
fat can be a oided by pouring l or 2 glasses of water
into the dripping pan.
The grill can also be used to brown, toast bread and grill
certain types of fruit, such as bananas, hal ed grapefruit,
slices of pineapple, apples, etc. Fruit should not be
placed too near the source of heat.
Cooking times
Cooking times can ary according to the type of food,
its consistency and its olume. It is ad isable to watch
when cooking for the first time and check results since
when preparing the same dishes, in the same
conditions, similar results are obtained.
The TABLE OF COOKING TIMES relating to cooking
in the o en and by grill is pro ided as a guide.
Experience will show possible ariations to the alues
set out in the table.
Nevertheless carefully f ll w the indicati ns given
in the receipe y u intend t f ll w.
Attenti n: do not place any utensils such as dripping
pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex dishes, aluminium foil
or other on the base of the o en when the o en is in use.
A stagnation of heat would result which would compro-
mise the results of cooking and could damage the o en
enamel.
