Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires -
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
Only use dry potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholders
touch hot heating surface units or interior oven
elements. Do not use towels or other bulky
cloths instead of a potholder.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers -
Build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
Remove the oven door from any unused
appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner
before turning it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
Always turn the knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
Use The Proper Pan Size -This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface burners
of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner. If the utensil is smaller than the burner,
some of the flame will be exposed and may
result in the ignition of clothing. Correct pan
size will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Sur-
face Burners - To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
The handle of the utensil should be posi-
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn the off the oven. If
the oven is not turned off and the
power resumes, the oven may begin to
operate again. Food left unattended
could catch fire or spoil.
• Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When using the
appliance for the first time, or when the
appliance has not been used for a long
time, make sure that the unit has been
in temperatures above 32°F/0°C for at
least 3 hours before turning on the

WARNING
• Use proper flame size - Adjust the
flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. If
the utensil is smaller than the burner,
some of the flame will be exposed and
may result in the ignition of clothing.
Correct pan size will also improve effi-
ciency.
• Do not use stove top grills on the
burner grates of sealed gas burners. If
you use a stove top grill on a sealed
gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards

tioned so that it is turned inward and does
not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended -
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spill-
overs that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil
to line the bottom of the oven or any other
part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil
recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other use of protec-
tive liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk
of electric shock, fire or a short circuit.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cook-
top use.
Air curtain or other overhead ventilating
hoods, which operate by blowing air down-
wards onto a range, shall not be used in
conjunction with gas ranges other than
when the hood and range have been
designed, tested and listed by an indepen-
dent test laboratory for use in combination
with each other.
Do not use a Searing Grill on the cooktop.
The searing grill is not designed for use on
the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface burner Cov-
ers. If a burner is turned on accidentally, the
decorative cover will become hot and possi-
bly melt. Touching the hot covers may cause
burns. The cooktop or burners may also
become damaged because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will be prevented from
reaching the burner and cause combustion
problems.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

13
Cooking with the gas cooktop
Preliminary information
• Remove all packaging materials and literature
from the cooktop surface.
• Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.
• There may be a slight odor during the first few
uses. This is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper
cookware being selected and used.
• The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the
burners. There is no pilot light. Each burner has its
own igniter. All igniters are activated when a
control knob is pushed.
• You can light and adjust the flame size of each
burner by pressing and then turning the relative
cooktop knobs.
• Read all the safety precautions and Use and
Care Manual information before using the appli-
ance.
Correct burners placement
The cooktop is equipped with two differently coated
burners and they must to be positioned in their correct
housings:
1. Brass coated burners - to be placed in the front
left and front right zones.
2. Black coated burners - to be placed in all the
other zones.
Installing the burners
To install the burner components:
1. The shape of the burner skirt openings must
match the shape of the openings in the burner
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of carbon monoxide, benzene, formalde-
hyde and soot. To minimize exposure to these sub-
stances, the burners should be adjusted by a
certified installer or authorized servicer to ensure
proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an
open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when
cooking with gas. Always operate the unit according
to the instructions in this manual.
CAUTION
• Do not force the knobs to turn if you have not
pressed them before.
• To avoid possible injury or damage to the
appliance, ensure that the grates are installed
exactly as indicated in the installation instruc-
tions and not backwards or upside down.
WARNING
• To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop
without all the burner caps properly installed to
insure proper ignition and the correct flame
size.
• It is very important to be sure that all surface
burner caps and cooktop grates are properly
installed and in the correct positions BEFORE
using the cooktop burners.
USING THE COOKTOP

base.
2. The flame-spreader crown must be centered on
the burner skirt.
3. The burner cover must be leveled and centered
with respect to the burner skirt.
Each burner component must be positioned horizon-
tally and must correctly interlock with each other.
Check that they are fitted correctly by moving each
component gently. If the components do not fit cor-
rectly or are inclined, adjust the position of each com-
ponent until it remains fixed in position.
Cooktop grates placement
First position the right and left side grates (1) and then
the central one (2).
Position the grates so that the raised side always faces
towards the backguard.
Cooking utensils
Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight
sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy thick-
ness. Rough cookware finishes may scratch the cook-
top surface. Aluminum and copper may be used in
cookware as a core material or for the base.
USING THE COOKTOP

15
However, when used as a base, it can leave perma-
nent marks on the rangetop or grates. Cookware
properties are a factor in how quickly and evenly heat
is distributed, which affects cooking results. A non-stick
finish has the same characteristics as its base material.
For example, a non-stick finish on aluminum cookware
will take on the properties of aluminum. Always use a
utensil for its intended purpose. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Some utensils were not designed to
be used in the oven or on the cooktop. Refer to the
following chart as a guide to the physical properties of
cookware.
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cook-
ing tasks.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or glass-ceramic
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Heats slowly but unevenly.
• Best results with low to medium heat settings.
Copper
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use low heat settings.
Porcelain enameled steel or cast iron
• See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly but unevenly.
• Stainless steel cookware with an aluminum or
copper core or bottom provides even heating.
Operating the cooktop burners
All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are
located together on the front panel. The burner con-
trolled by each knob is shown by a marking on the
bottom left of the knob (see “Control panel”). The
appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition
device that generates small sparks at regular intervals
, necessary for the combustion of the gas.
Simply press the knob and turn it counter-clockwise
until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the
first 15 seconds, turn the knob to and wait 5
minutes before trying again.
After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a few sec-
onds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner
may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the
thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments before repeating the operation
and keep the knob pressed in longer.
To operate the cooktop burners
1. Place your cookware on the burner.
2. PUSH-IN and TURN the cooktop knob to the
(SPARK) position to ignite the burner. You
should hear a clicking sound as the burner
ignites
3. Once the burner is lit, continue to PUSH-IN and
HOLD the knob in the (SPARK) position for
3-5 seconds.
4. Turn the burner knob to desired operating
position; HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW flame setting.
Note: If the burner goes out in point 3, wait a few
moments and try again. Do not cook with the knob in
the (SPARK) position.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
• Do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the pan.
• Turn off all knobs when the range is not in use.
CAUTION
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top
of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons

Temperature probe
With the temperature probe, roasts, pork loin and vari-
ous cuts and sizes of meat can be cooked to perfec-
tion.
The probe, in fact, allows foods to be cooked to per-
fection because it accurately monitors the core tem-
perature of the food.
The core temperature of the food is measured by a
sensor located in the tip of the probe.
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when removing the guides.
WARNING
• Do not leave the temperature probe unat-
tended.
• Do not allow children to play with the probe.
• Take care not to hurt yourself on the sharp
parts of the probe.

several ways.
Four different cooking functions are available: different
heating elements, combinations of them and internal
fan will be activated, according to the type of dish you
intend to cook.
List of cooking functions
Manual cooking
Preliminary information
• The word “START” flashes in the upper right cor-
ner of the display to indicate that is possible to
start the selected function.
• Once a function is started or when setting the
temperature and timing functions the word
“START” disappears.
• When you select a function you can set the tem-
perature, the minute minder (see “Cooking
timer”), the cooking time (see “Timed cooking”)
and the delay time (see “Delayed cooking”)
exactly in this order.
• You can start the cooking even with the door
opened to let you check that the oven and/or
broil burners have ignited.
• Once the cooking is started, the oven burners
won’t be turned off when you open the door.
NOTE
At the bottom of the oven cavity there are holes that

Bake
This function is best used for your stan-
dard recipes. This function is suitable for
cooking one dish at a time. Perfect for
bread, biscuits, cookies and similar dishes.
Convection bake
This function allows different foods to be
cooked on several levels extremely
quickly and efficiently, without odors and
flavors mingling. Recommended for leav-
ened cakes and muffins.

This function gives perfect grilling results,
especially for thin and medium thickness
meat and gives the food an even brown-
ing at the end of cooking. Perfect for sau-
sages, spare ribs, bacon, fish and shrimps.
This function enables large quantities of
food to be grilled evenly.
Convection roast
The combination of the fan and heating
elements allows you to cook both on sin-
gle level and on several levels. Hot air cir-
culation ensures instant and even
