3.1 To save energy
• Preheat the appliance only if the recipe
requires it.
• Unless differently stated on the package,
defrost frozen food before placing it in
the cooking compartment.
• In case of multiple cooking, it is

required during cooking.
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the cooking compartment clean at
all times.
3.2 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.

Use
19
EN
Racks and trays

4 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.
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
20
3. Prepare the rotisserie rod with the food
using the clip forks provided. The clip
forks can be tightened using the
fastening screws.
4. Once you have prepared the rotisserie
rod, place it on the supports. Insert the tip
of the rod in the housing of the
mechanism on the left-hand support until
it stops.

EN
8. When cooking is complete, remove the
tray with the rotisserie.
9. Screw on the handle provided so that
you can handle the rotisserie rod more
easily.
3.3 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 housings with
their respective burner caps. Make sure that
the holes 1in the flame-spreader crowns
are aligned with the thermocouples 2and
igniters 3.
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.

Use
22
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.
3.4 Using the storage compartment
The storage compartment is at the bottom of
the cooker. To open it, pull the handle
towards you. It can be used to store
cookware or metallic objects necessary
when using the appliance.
3.5 Using the oven
Switching on the oven
To switch on the oven:
1. Select the cooking function using the
function knob.
2. Select the temperature using the
temperature knob.
Functions list
Cookware diameters:
• Auxiliary: 12 - 14 cm.
• Semi-rapid: 16 - 24 cm.
• Rapid: 18 - 26 cm.
• Ultra-rapid: 18 - 28 cm.
Ensure that the programmer clock
shows the cooking duration
symbol , otherwise it will not
be possible to turn on the oven.
Press the keys and at the
same time to reset the programmer
clock.
Static
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Traditional cooking,
also known as static cooking, is
suitable for cooking just one dish at
a time. Perfect for all types of roasts,
bread and cakes and in any case
particularly suitable for fatty meats
such as goose and duck.
