6. USE OFTHE COOKING HOB
6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners
Before lighting the cooking hob burners check that the flame cap crowns
are properly positioned with their appropriate burner caps: niche Amust
be centred with pin B.
Grid Cshould be used with Chinese woks.
Each knob corresponds to the burner indicated. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic lighting device. Just press and turn the knob
anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights.
Keep the knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat
up. If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the
thermocouple isn’t hot enough. Repeat ignition and keep the knob
pressed longer.
If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20
seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).
6.2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners
For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered
containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame
from licking the sides (see paragraph “6.3 Diameter of containers”).
When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t
overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle
plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. All
containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or
oils, be extremely careful that they don’t overheat and catch fire.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at
least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

6.4 Using the griddle plate
The griddle plate is coated with a thin film of non-stick
material (Teflon). This film is very delicate and could be
damaged or scratched by any metal cooking tool. Use only
wooden or heat resistant plastic tools.
7. USE OFTHE OVENS
7.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250-220°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad taste.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or
tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the
enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it
will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half open
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door
open as short a time as possible to prevent the
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining
the food.

Instructions for the user
7.2 Oven Light
It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.
7.3 Cooling fan
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into
operation regardless of the cooking function selected, including the
automatic cooking function.
The fan, installed in the rear of the appliance, drives the air across the top
of the oven and through the vent slits above the door.
The noise caused by the air flow will continue even after the oven is
switched off.
The cooling system ensures that the temperature on the outside of the
appliance complies with the parameters required by the European
Standard.
7.4 Storage compartment
A storage compartment, accessible by
pulling on the top edge of the door, is
located beneath the ovens.
Never store inflammable materials such as
rags, paper or the like. The compartment is
intended only for holding the metal
accessories of the range.
Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot.
The temperature inside may be very high.
