4FINAL OPERATIONS
After replacing the nozzles, reposition the flame-spreader crowns, the burner caps and the racks.
Following adjustment to a gas other than the preset one, replace the gas adjustment label fixed to
the appliance with the one corresponding to the new gas. The label is inserted inside the pack
together with the nozzles.
4.1 Adjusting the hob burner minimum for city and natural gas
Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position . Extract the gas
tap knob and turn the adjustment screw at the side of the tap rod until the
correct minimum flame is achieved.
Refit the knob and verify that the burner flame is stable (when turning the
knob rapidly from the maximum to the minimum position the flame must
not go out). Repeat the operation on all the gas taps.
For valved models, keep the knob pressed in at the minimum level for a few seconds to keep the
flame lit and to activate the safety device.
4.2 Regulation of the hob burner minimum for liquid gas
In order to adjust the minimum setting with liquid gas, the screw at the side of the tap rod must be
tightened clockwise all the way.
The diameters of the by-passes for the individual burners are given in the paragraph “3.2/3.3 Burner
and nozzle characteristics tables”. When the adjustment is completed, restore the sealing of the by-
passes with paint or another material.
4.3 Adjustment of the oven burner minimum
The oven thermostat is equipped with a screw for regulating the minimum, which can be seen by
removing the thermostat knob.
When changing the type of supplied gas, the minimum must be adjusted as follows:
•Light the oven burner and keep it at the maximum for 10/15 minutes with the door closed and
without the shelf; after this period, move the knob to the minimum temperature, slide off the knob
and insert a straight edge screwdriver to make the adjustment.
•If using liquid gas the adjustment screw must be tightened clockwise to the very end. The
diameter of the by-pass is given in paragraph “3.2/3.3 Burner and nozzle characteristics tables”.
•If using city gas or natural gas, adjust the screw so that when the thermostat knob is turned from
the maximum to the minimum position, the flame remains steady and constant. When the
adjustment is completed, restore the seal on the screws using paint or equivalent materials.
When closing the oven door, make sure the burner remains lit at the minimum.

6USING THE HOB
6.1 Lighting the hob burners
Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with
their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with
the igniters and thermocouples.
Before lighting the burners, lift the glass lid; before closing it again, turn off all the burners and wait
for them to cool.
The optional rack B is for use with woks.
To prevent damage to the cooking hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised rack Cfor use
underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The reduction C supplied is for use with small pans as well.
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 anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until it lights. If
it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least
60 seconds before trying to light it again.
On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few
seconds to give the thermocouple time 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 keeping the knob pressed for
longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a
thermocouple.
On models with a thermocouple, if the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be
tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF
position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.
6.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable
size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph “6.3 Pan
Diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the
liquid does not boil over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles
must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. Take the
greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame accidentally
goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

long time, you must first eliminate any humidity that may have been absorbed
by the insulating coating; to dry it out, leave the plate on for 30 minutes at
position 1 on the selector knob.
For correct use remember:
Only switch on the plate after you have positioned the pan on top of it.
•Use pans with a smooth bottom and a thick base.
•Never use pans that are smaller than the plate.
•Dry the bottom of the pan before putting it down on the plate.
•After use, to keep it in good condition and make sure that the surface is
always clean and shiny, the electric plate must be treated with the
appropriate products that can be bought from shops. This necessary
operation avoids any oxidation (rust).
•When cooking food with oil or fat, which are highly flammable, never leave
the appliance unattended.
•Even after use the plates stay hot for a long time: to avoid getting burned,
do not place your hand or other objects on top of them.
•Before switching on the electric plates, lift the glass cooker lid; before
closing it again, turn off all the plates and wait for them to cool down.
•As soon as you notice a crack on the surface of the plates, immediately
disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and contact the nearest
authorised technical assistance centre.

7USING THE OVEN
In models with an electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that is on the display.
In models with an analogue clock and a timer knob, it should be set to .
7.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to their maximum temperature (260°C
for electric ovens and 275°C for gas ovens) long enough to burn away any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad smell. After an interruption in the electricity supply, the
programmer display flashes at regular intervals. To make any adjustments, refer to “8
ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER”.
The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply
with the provisions of Directive 89/109/EEC, dated 21/12/88, and of Legislative Decree 108, dated
25/01/92.

WARNING: the gas oven must be lit with the oven door open. The oven is
equipped with a safety system that blocks ignition of the burner if the
door is closed. If you make a mistake in the lighting procedure, open the
oven door and wait a few minutes before trying to light it again.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two
stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you
need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as
possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the
food.
DURING THE COOKING OF DESSERTS AND VEGETABLES, DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF
THE DOOR COULD OCCUR. THIS IS A NATURAL PHYSICAL PHENOMENON WHICH MAINL
Y
OCCURS WHEN PREHEATING HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE. TO AVOID THIS, OPEN THE DOOR A
COUPLE OF TIMES DURING COOKING, TAKING GREAT CARE.
7.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on a few minutes after the
oven is turned on. The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue
for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.
7.3 Using the gas oven
7.3.1 Electronic spark ignition
Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it anticlockwise to
the maximum temperature; the electric spark ignition is activated automatically.
When the oven is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow
the thermocouple to heat up.
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, open
the oven door completely and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute.
7.3.2 Manual ignition
Open the oven door fully and turn the thermostat knob. Bring a lighted
match close to the mouth of flame pipe Aat the centre of the oven
surface and press the thermostat knob. Once it is lit, keep the knob
pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up
and make sure that it has remained lit by looking through inspection
hole B. The cooking temperature is selected by turning the knob
clockwise to the desired setting, between 50°C and 275°C.
If the burner is extinguished accidentally, turn the knob to the off position ( ) and wait at least one
minute before trying to light it again.
