2RECYCLING INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY
Our household appliances are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable
materials. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of
collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local
organisations.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: deliver the appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household
appliances no longer in use.
Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain
gases which may damage the environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the refrigeration
circuit pipelines are not damaged until the competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as
for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also
necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.
NEVER LEAVE DISCARDED PACKAGING UNATTENDED IN THE HOME. SEPARATE THE
VARIOUS WASTE PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND CONSIGN THEM TO THE NEAREST
SELECTIVE WASTE COLLECTION CENTRE.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use
of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse,
the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life,
must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that
has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and
electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one
for one basis. Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned
product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible
negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of
which the appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application
of administrative sanctions.

7USING THE HOB
7.1 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.
7.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of 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.

8USING THE OVEN
In models with an electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that appears
on the display.
In models with an analogue clock and a timer knob, it should be set to .
8.1 General warnings and 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 unpleasant odours. After a power outage, the oven will show the display
flashing and the symbol . To adjust it, see paragraph "9 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER (ON
CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)”.
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.
The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with
the provisions of the directives in force.
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. 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.
8.2 Tangential cooling system
This system keeps the door and internal components of the oven at a lower temperature through
forced recirculation of cool air, guaranteeing increased safety and a longer life for the household
appliance.
The tangential cooling system remains active even after cooking has finished and continues working
when the oven has been switched off in order to disperse all the heat that has built up inside. This
mechanism allows all the furniture units surrounding the appliance to be protected, preventing them
from overheating.
8.3 Using the gas oven
8.3.1 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.
