In order to light the burner, you must:
1. Push and turn the dial in an counter-clockwise direction to the HI position (maxi-
mum rate), push in and hold the dial until the flame has been lit (fig. 2.2).
The sparks produced by the electrode situated inside the relative burner will light
the flame.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner in
HI position (maximum rate), try again with the dial in LO position (minimum rate).
2. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go the dial
(safety device activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If there is no mains electrical supply, the burners can be used with no restriction.
In that case, in order to light the burner, you must:
1. Bring a lighted match close to the burner (as per side figure) and keep it in place until
the burner has been ignited.
2. Push and turn the dial in an counter-clockwise direction up to the HI position (maxi-
mum rate), push in and hold the dial until the flame has been lit (fig. 2.2).
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner
in HI position (maximum rate), try again with the dial in LO position (minimum rate).
3. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go the dial
(safety device activation delay).
4. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop
the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the dial to the closed OFF position, wait for at least 1 minute

GAS BURNERS (Dual)
The Dual Burner is a very flexible burner which allows different regulations for optimal
cooking.
It is composed by one inner and one outer crown; the flame of the inner crown can be
regulated separately from the flames of the outer crown.
The Dual Burner can be used:
• As a high-power burner (all flames produced simultaneously by inner and outer
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 dial settings. Never operate the burner with the
dial set between the and OFF positions.
• As a small burner (flame produced only by the inner crown) which can be adjusted
from the maximum ( ) to the minimum ( ) position.
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the dials (illustrated in fig. 2.3) which con-
trol the valves.
Turning the dial so that the symbols printed on the dial point to the mark on the bezel

Ensure that the handles of
cookware do not stick out over
the edge of the range, to avoid
them being knocked over by
accident. This also makes it more
difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels.

CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.5)
The symbols or wordings printed on the panel above the gas dials indicate the corre-
spondence between the dial 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.
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE HOB BURNERS
BURNER MINIMUM MAX.
Semi-rapid 16 cm (6” 19/64) 24 cm (9” 7/16)
Triple-ring and Dual 26 cm (10” 3/16) 28 cm (11” 1/16)
Wok pans min 36 cm (14” 3/16) - max 40 cm (15” 3/4)
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
CORRECT USE OF DUAL BURNER(Fig. 2.6a - 2.6b)
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place the supplied wok support on the pan support for
the burner to avoid any faulty operation of the Dual burner (Figs. 2.6a - 2.6b).
IMPORTANT:
The special support for wok pans (figs. 2.6b, 2.6c) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the
pan-rest for the Dual burner.

how to use the gas oven
GENERAL FEATURES
The gas oven is provided with:
■Oven burner, mounted on the lower part of the oven (14000 BTU/hr).
■Broil burner, mounted on the upper part of the oven (11000 BTU/hr).
■Fan motor which can be used in combination with the oven burner.
It is not possible to use the fan motor in combination with the broil burner: a
safety device switches off the fan motor when the gas oven/broil control knob
is turned on broil position.
■Light to illuminate the oven to enable visual checking of the food that is cooking.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the oven burner.
b. by forced convection
The heat produced by the oven burner is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.
The hot air envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.
c. by radiation
Radiant heat is delivered by the infra red broil burner.
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
It is advised to follow these instructions:
■Furnish the interior of the oven as described at chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.
■Turn the oven on to the maximum temperature “8” to eliminate possible traces of
grease from the oven burner.
The same operation should be followed for broil burner (knob set to “BROIL” position).
■Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior of the
oven with cloth soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.
Attention: The range becomes very
hot during operation.
Attention: The oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
NOTE: When the range is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their OFF
positions. If the range will not be
used for an extended period of time,
it is recommended that the gas shut
off valve in the main supply line be
closed.

2. Press the oven control knob right down (the ignitors will start ‘clicking’) turn the knob
clockwise (fig. 3.4) to the “BROIL” position.
3. Check the broil burner has lit; if not, turn the knob counterclockwise back to “OFF”
and repeat the procedure from step 2.
4. Once the broil burner has lit, close the oven door slowly.
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 “OFF”, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
VERY IMPORTANT!
The burner ignition procedure must always start with the control knob in the
OFF position or it will not be possible to ignite the burner.
Important!
■The fan motor cannot be used in combination with the broil burner.
A safety device switches off the fan motor when the gas oven/broil control
knob is turned on “BROIL” position.
■Do not attempt to light the broil burner during power failure.
Do always broil with oven door closed.
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
