4. FINAL OPERATIONS
After changing the nozzles, put the pan stands, the burner caps and flame diffuser rings back in
place.
After adjusting for use of a gas other than the gas used for testing the appliance, replace the gas
setting label on the appliance with the label for the new gas. The label is supplied in the bag with the
nozzles.
4.1 Adjusting the hob burner minimum for town gas and natural gas
Light the burner and turn it to the minimum setting . Remove the gas
tap knob and adjust the regulator screw beside the tap rod until an even
minimum flame is obtained.
Put the knob back in place and check the stability of the burner flame
(the flame must not go out when the knob is turned quickly from the
maximum to the minimum setting). Repeat the operation on all the gas
taps.
On models equipped with valves, keep the knob pressed down on the minimum setting for a few
seconds to keep the flame alight and prime the safety device.
4.2 Adjusting the hob burner minimum for bottled gas
To adjust the minimum level when using bottled gas, the adjuster screw beside the tap rod must be
turned fully clockwise.
The diameters of the bypasses for each individual burner are stated in point "3.2/3.3 Burner and
Nozzle Data Tables". When the adjustment is complete, re-seal the bypasses with paint or another
similar material.
4.3 Adjusting the oven burner minimum
The oven thermostat has a screw for regulating the minimum setting, accessed by removing the
thermostat knob.
When the type of gas used changes, the minimum setting must be adjusted as follows:
•Light the oven burner and keep it operating at the highest setting for 10/15 minutes with the door
closed and without the hob. Now turn the knob to the minimum temperature setting, remove the
knob and use a straight-head screwdriver to adjust.
•When using bottled gas, the adjuster screw must be turned fully clockwise. The diameter of the
by-pass is stated in point “3.2/3.3 Burner and Nozzle Data Tables”.
•When using town or natural gas, adjust the screw so that when the thermostat knob is turned
from the maximum to the minimum setting, the flame always remains stable and uniform. When
the adjustment is complete, re-seal the screw with paint or equivalents. Close the oven door and
check that the burner remains on at the minimum setting.

6. USING THE HOB
6.1 Lighting the hob burners
Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are correctly in place with their
respective burner caps, making sure that the holes Ain the flame diffusers are aligned with the
plugs 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 reducer Bis for use with woks.
To prevent damage to the hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised pan stand Cfor use
underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The pan stand C supplied is for use even with small pans.
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob.
The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. On some models,
simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol
, until the burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15 seconds, turn the
knob to 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. In
models with burner ignition button, turn the knob as already described while
pressing the button. On models equipped with valves, once the burner has
ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released:
this means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down
for longer. This is not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple.
On models with 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 back to the
off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.
6.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids of suitable size for
the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan Diameters").
Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling
over. When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle plates 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.

6.5 Switching on the electric plate
6.5.1 Switching on the electric plates
Cookers are equipped with plates of different diameters. They are controlled by a switch and are
turned on by turning the knob to the required setting. The front panel carries a screen-printed
diagram above each knob indicating the plate to which it refers. A yellow pilot light indicates that the
plate is on.
6.5.2 How to use the electric plates
Rapid plates offer the advantage of extremely fast cooking. The following is a guideline table of plate
settings.
RAPID PLATES HEAT SETTING COOKING OPERATIONS POSSIBLE
0 Off -
1 Delicate For melting butter, chocolate, etc.
For heating small amounts of liquid.
2 Gentle For heating larger amounts of liquid.
3 Low For defrosting frozen foods and braising, cooking
at or just below boiling point.
4 Medium For cooking foods that have to be brought to the
boil, for roasting delicate meat and fish.
Strong For roasts, cutlets, steaks and boiling large
5 pieces of meat.
For bringing large amounts of water to the boil,
6 Fierce for frying.
ATTENTION
When the plate is switched on for the first time or has been out of use for a long
period, it should be dried by turning it on at setting 1 for 30 minutes, to eliminate
any moisture absorbed by the insulating material.
For correct use, follow these rules:
Do not switch the plate on until you have placed the pan on it.
•Use pans with thick, flat bottoms.
•Never use pans smaller than the plate.
•Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the plate.
•After use, to keep the electric plate in good condition and ensure its surface
remains clean and shining, it must be treated with the appropriate
commercial products. This necessary procedure prevents oxidation
(rusting).
•Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking easily flammable
foods containing oil and fat.

7. USING THE OVEN
In models with electronic programmer, before using the oven, check that the display is showing the
symbol.
In models with analogue clock and timer knob, locate on the symbol.
7.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum
temperature (260°C for electric oven and 275° for gas oven) for long enough to burn off any oily
residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.
After an interruption in the electricity supply, the programmer display flashes at regular intervals,
showing . For setting instructions, see point "8. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER”.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with
directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and relevant national regulations.
WARNING: the gas oven's door must be open when lit. The oven is fitted
with a safety system which cuts out burner ignition if the door is closed. If
you mistakenly attempt to light the burner with the door closed, open the
door and wait a few moments before trying again.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in
two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door
open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results.

he burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds
t
o allow the thermocouple to heat up and check that the burner has lit
properly through the inspection hole B. The cooking temperature is set
by turning the knob clockwise to the value required, between 50° and
275°C.
If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the knob to the off (
)position and wait at least one minute
before trying to relight it.
