• Only preheat the appliance if the
recipe requires you to do so.
• Unless otherwise indicated on the
package, defrost frozen foods
before placing them in the oven.
• When cooking several types of
food it is recommended to cook

3.4 Using the accessories
Ring reducers
The ring reducers have to be placed on the
hob grids. Make sure they are placed
properly.
Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray.
In this way fat can be collected separately
from the food which is being cooked.
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
The mechanical safety locks that prevent the
rack from being removed accidentally must
face downwards towards the back of the
oven cavity.
Gently insert racks and trays into
the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them
for the first time to remove any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.

Use
107
EN
3.5 Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The burner controlled by each knob
is shown next to the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device.
Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol,
until the burner ignites. If the burner does not
light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to
and wait 60 seconds before trying
again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed
in for a few seconds 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 and repeat the operation. Keep
the knob pressed in longer.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their seats with their
respective burner caps. Make sure that the
holes 1of the flame-spreader crowns are
aligned with the thermocouples 2and
igniters 3.
Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that the
flames do not reach up the sides of the pan.
Once the contents come to the boil, turn
down the flame far enough to ensure that
the liquid does not boil over.
In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the
knob to and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.
Cookware diameters:
• AUX: 12 - 14 cm.
• SR: 16 - 24 cm.
• R: 18 - 26 cm.
• UR2: 18 - 28 cm.

Use
108
Correct position of the hob racks
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the racks are in place on the same hob.
Remember that:
• The appliance has two side racks (A)
and a centre one (B).
• The side racks (A) have a thicker edge
that should be facing the side of the
appliance.
• The reference projections (1) should be
facing the centre of the hob.
• The side racks (A) must be placed on the
hob as first elements.
• The centre rack (B) edges have the same
thickness.
• Position the centre rack (B) so that the
notches (2) are aligned with the
reference projections (1) of the side
racks (A).
3.6 Using the storage
compartment
There is a storage compartment located at
the bottom of the cooker; this can be used
to store pans or metal objects required for
its use.
• To open the storage compartment, pull
the handle towards you.
