operates when a slight pressure is applied to the “T”button
marked with 1symbol.To light a specific burner just press

ing it pressed down until the burner lights.
Important: Shouldthe burnerflamesaccidentally goout,
turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute be-
fore trying to relight.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks
These models can be identified by the presence of the
device itself (see detail J).
Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a
safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about
6 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the
gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air.The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Attention:Onlyusethebottomshelfoftheovenwhenusing
the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of
cooking,neverusethebottomshelfandneverplaceanything
on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because

The “5 Programms”oven combines all the advantages of
traditional“static”ovenswiththoseofmodern“ventilated”ones.
The”5 Programms”oven is extremely versatile and offers 5
different but sure and easy ways of cooking. Use the knobs to
select the different cooking functions available on the
“5 Programms”oven:
L - selector knob (identified by the Gsymbol);
M- thermostat knob (identified by the Hsymbol).
When the selector knob is on any other setting than that identi-
fied by the “o”, the oven light turns on.The setting identified by

“Defrosting”Mode
Position of thermostat knob“M”: any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommendedfor the defrosting of alltypes offood, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process using the “multi-cooking”mode and setting the
temperatureto 80°- 100°C.
