The mechanical safety locks that prevent the
rack from being taken out accidentally have
to face downwards and towards the oven
back.
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.

corner holes of the deep tray and screw
them onto the ring nuts with a suitable
tool (such as a screwdriver).
2. Position the rotisserie supports in the
bushings as shown in the figure below.
3. Prepare the rotisserie rod with the food
using the clip forks provided. The clip
forks can be tightened using the

3.4 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.
