3 - USE OF COOKING HOB
GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
which opens and closes the gas supply.
Line the control knob symbol up with the
indicator on the control panel (fig. 3.1) to
obtain:
– symbol ●: off
– symbol : full on
(maximum rate)
– symbol : minimum rate
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame
symbol.
Fig. 3.1 Fig. 3.2
The maximum setting permits rapid boil-
ing of liquids, whereas the minimum set-
ting allows slower warming of food or
maintaining simmering conditions of liq-
uids.
Other intermediate operating can be
achieved by positioning the control knob
indicator between the maximum and
minimum setting, but not between the
maximum and off positions.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-
clockwise and position the knob
symbol to the indicator printed
on the control panel (fig. 3.2).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric
ignition; or, in the case of a mains
failure light the burner with a match or
lighted taper.
3) Adjust the burner according to the
setting required.

10
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat fry-
ing, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO
NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the con-
trol knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before mov-
ing the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near each knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
Select the burner that is most suitable
for the diameter and capacity of the pan
to be used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pans must be used in the following way:
BURNERS POT DIAMETER
Auxiliary 12 - 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 24 cm
Triple-ring 26 - 28 cm
do not use pans with concave
or convex bases (fig. 3.3)
It is important that the base diameter of
the pot is at least the same diameter as
the burner ring to obtain an efficient heat
transfer.
Always position pans centrally over the
burners.
Adjust the size of the flame so that it
does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position pan handles so that they
cannot be accidentally knocked.
Fig. 3.3
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their
closed positions and also close
the cock valve on the gas bottle
or the main gas supply line.

CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER (Fig. 3.4a - 3.4b)
Flat-bottomed pans should be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK always place the supplied stand in position over the burner to main-
tain the correct operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 3.4a - 3.4b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 3.4b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the triple-ring burner.

4 - TOP CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC OVEN
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
GENERAL FEATURES
2 different thermostatic control functions
are available to satisfy all cooking
requirements, provided by 3 heating ele-
ments:
– Top element 700 W
– Bottom element 1100 W
– Grill element 2100 W
NOTE: When using for the first time, you
are advised to run the oven at maximum
temperature (temperature knob set to
250°C) for approximately one hour in the
mode and for another 15 minutes in
the mode in order to eliminate any
traces of grease from the heating ele-
ments.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the conventional
oven are obtained:
a. by natural convection
The heat is produced by the upper and
lower heating elements.
b. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infrared
grill element.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.1)
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the
oven for one of the functions described.
TEMPERATURE KNOB (fig. 4.2)
This only sets the cooking temperature
but does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required tem-
perature is reached (from 50 to 250 °C).
The light above the knob will illuminate
when the oven is switched on and turns
off when the oven reaches the correct
temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during
cooking in line with the oven tempera-
ture.
OVEN LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only
the oven light comes on (15 W).
The light remains on whilst any of the
cooking modes are selected.
TRADITIONAL CONVECTION
COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements
are switched on. The heat is diffused by
natural convection and the temperature
must be set between 50° C and 250° C.
It is necessary to preheat the oven
before adding the foods to be cooked.
Recommended for:
For foods which require the same
cooking temperature both internally and
externally, i. e. roasts, spare ribs,
meringue, etc.
GRILLING
The infra-red heating element is switched
on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the
temperature knob to 175°C.
Note: It is recommended that you do not
grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Attention: the oven door becomes very
hot during operation. Keep children
away.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE
OF THE GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au
gratin and toasting etc.
USE OF THE GRILL
Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the rack
as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to col-
lect the cooking juices.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes
at any one time (Grilling for longer
than the recommended time may
mean the appliance overheats).
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

14
COOKING WITH FORCED AIR
Fan cooking is more economical and quick-
er than cooking in a conventional oven.
The moving hot air surrounds the food and
penetrates it more quickly than in a conven-
tional oven.
The oven can be filled with different dishes
all requiring the same cooking temperature.
Subtract 10 minutes per hour for every dish
requiring a cooking time of more than 1
hour and reduce the heat by 10-20°C; the
hotter the oven, the more the temperature
can be reduced.
Generally, there is no need to pre-heat the
oven, but it is advisable to pre-heat for
about 5 minutes to ensure the best results;
use the indicator light as a guide, it goes
out when the set temperature is reached.
Fan cooking is ideal for gelatine based
dishes and softening ice cream - a
microwave oven is much too strong for
these dishes. Cooking yeast based dishes
is also speeded up this way. If the oven
door has been opened, the oven quickly
regains its temperature once the door is
closed.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

The oven light is switched on.
The oven temperature can be set
between 50°C - 250°C.
The set temperature has been
reached when the temperature
indicator light goes out.
Several different meals may be
cooked simultaneously on various
shelves, as the heated air circu-
lates evenly throughout the oven.
The hot air system cooks more
quickly than conventional static
system, therefore the temperature
should be set 15°C - 20°C below
the values recommended in your
recipe books.
The oven door may be opened
briefly while cooking as any heat
losses are quickly recovered
when the door is closed.
