Using the Cooktop
The burners are designed and rated to provide the exact heat required for different cooking
styles.
For each cooktop control knob, there is a printed diagram to indicate which burner or heating
element the knob is controlling.
Automatic Electrical Ignition
The command to ignite the burner is integrated in the control knob. Each appliance burner
is equipped with a safety thermocouple, which is part of the flame failure device (FFD). A
FFD is designed to stop flammable gas going to the burner if the flame is extinguished.
This is to prevent a dangerous build up of gas around the appliance.
To ignite a burner, press and turn the corresponding burner knob counter clockwise to the
maximum position. Automatically the ignition sparks on. Keep pressing the knob until the
burner lights up then keep pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the safety
thermocouples to warm up. If, after 10 seconds, the burner fails to light up, it means the
safety thermocouple is not heated sufficiently. Repeat the process.
Matches can be used to light the burners during blackouts.

Page 14
●Once the burner is lit, adjust the flame according to your needs.
●Use an appropriate pan and with flat bottom for each burner (see the table and figure below).
●When the pan content starts to boil, turn the knob down to minimum position (small flame).
●Always put a lid on the pan.

Oven Cooking and Cooking Times
For the best results pre-heat the oven to the preset cooking temperature. Use deep containers or
trays as baking pans for roasts placed in the middle rack, to minimize possible soiling of the oven
cavity from fat splashes, sauce burning and smoke production. The table on pages 19-20 shows
some examples of how to set the temperature and the cooking time. The cooking times vary
according to the type of food, its homogeneity and volume. Use these suggestions as a guide only.
Practical hints to save energy
The oven can be switched off some minutes before the cooking end time. The residual
temperature is enough to complete cooking. Open the oven door only when it is absolutely
necessary. Look through the glass door to check cooking progress as the inner cavity light is
always on.

GENERAL ADVICE
The oven offers various kinds of heating:
FAN FORCED COOKING
With this function a continuous circulation of warm air is created, suitable for cooking on multiple
levels. The oven will reach the preset temperature in a very short time. If fan forced heating is
chosen, it is recommended to take advantage of the resulting time and energy savings by cooking
on several levels at once to prepare a complete menu.
TRADITIONAL COOKING (the upper and lower heating elements operate)
This method is especially suitable for cooking game and special roasts as well as for cooking bread
and sponge cakes. It is advisable to place food into the oven after preheating it. When the oven
reaches the set temperature the yellow warning light extinguishes.
GRILL COOKING (the two upper heating grills operate)
To cook with the grill, pre-heat the oven for about 5 minutes. During grill operation the heat
comes from above; and is suitable for thin cuts meat and for toast. The table shows some examples
of cooking times and shelf positions. The cooking times vary according to the type of food, its
homogeneity and volume.
COOKING PASTRY
The air circulation of the oven assures an instantaneous and uniform heat distribution. More trays
can be inserted into the oven together with the pastries, taking care not to use the top level. Other
foods (fish, meat, etc.) can be cooked at the same time as the pastry, provided they can be cooked
at the same temperature.
GRATINATING (use either the centre upper element or both upper elements) Pre-cooked food
and dishes with a short cooking time can be gratinated in the oven. This involves using grated
cheese, breadcrumbs and knobs of butter, or béchamel sauce, to give the food a crispy crust.
Gnocchi alla romana, polenta pasticciata, rice, lasagnas, noodles and vegetables dressed with
béchamel are typical dishes for this type of cooking.
COOKING TIMES
The table shows some examples for the adjustment of the temperature and the cooking time. The
cooking times can vary according to the type of food, its homogeneity and volume.
