8. USING THE RANGETOP
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
- Do not allow the burner flame to extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
- Turn off all controls when not using the appliance.
NOTE: Check that the burner rings, burner caps and grates are correctly positioned.
Before lighting the rangetop burners check that the burner rings are correctly in place with their
respective burner caps, making sure that the slots Ain the burner ring are aligned with the spark
electrodes and thermocouples. For the double burner, place the burner caps Gand Fon the burner ring
D, ensuring that they fit snugly. The burner head must then be placed on and fitted into the burner base
B (being careful to use the pin Cas a guide). The burner base B is supplied for use with woks. The
special wok trivet His also for use with woks.
8.1 Ignition safety device
Each burner knob has a marking corresponding to the burner it controls (the example at the left shows
the front left burner).
The appliance is equipped with a spark electrode ignition.
- Just press in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the minimum flame symbol until the burner
turns on.
- Keep the knob pressed in for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety device.
- After turning the burner on, it is recommended that the knob be left in the minimum flame position for
approximately 20 seconds before adjusting it to the desired flame intensity.
The flame may go out when the knob is released. In this case, repeat the operation but keep the knob
pressed in for a longer period of time.

User instructions
19
NOTE: If the flame goes out accidentally, the safety device will engage after about 20 seconds, shutting
off the gas flow, even if the burner gas valve is open.
REMEMBER: When the rangetop is in use, the entire range surface may become hot.
8.1.1 Power failure
In the event of a prolonged power outage, you can manually light the surface burners.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the minimum flame symbol . After the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired flame intensity.
8.2 Tips on using the burners
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of heat and ventilation around the edges of the burner grate.
For more efficient use of the burners and to lower gas consumption, use covered cookware that is
proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from extending beyond the sides (see paragraph
“5.3 Cookware diameter"). When water starts to boil, lower the flame so that it does not boil over. To
avoid burns or damage to the rangetop, all pots, pans or griddles must be placed within the perimeter of
the rangetop. All cookware must have a flat and smooth bottom. When cooking with grease or oil, be
extremely careful to avoid overheating and a potential grease fire. If the flame accidentally goes out turn
the control knob to off and wait at least 1 minute before trying to relight the burner.
NOTE: Before turning on a burner, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner with
empty cookware or without placing the cookware on the grate.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface or burner.

8.4 Cookware
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface or burner.
Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough cookware finishes may scratch the rangetop. Aluminum and copper may be used in cookware as
a core material or bottom. However, when used as a bottom, these metals can leave permanent streaks
on the rangetop or grates.
Cookware properties are a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which in turn affects
cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, a non-
stick finish on aluminum cookware will take on the properties of aluminum.
Refer to the following chart as a guide to the physical properties of cookware.
COOKWARE PROPERTIES
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly
• Suitable for all types of cooking
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly
• Good for browning and frying
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or glass-ceramic
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
• Heats slowly but unevenly
• Best results with low to medium heat settings.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly
Earthenware • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
• Use low heat settings
Porcelain enameled steel or cast
iron • See stainless steel or cast iron
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly but unevenly
• Stainless steel cookware with aluminum or copper as a core
material or bottom provides even heating.

ECO function
Using the broiler and the bottom heating element together with the
convection fan is particularly suitable for cooking small quantities of
food, as it consumes less energy.
Top and bottom heat:
With the heat coming from the top and bottom at the same time, this
option is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Conventional
cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation cooking, is suitable
for cooking just one dish at a time. This function is perfect for all types
of roasts, bread or tarts and particularly suitable for fatty fowl such as
goose and duck.
Rotisserie with broil:
The rotisserie function in combination with the broiler element is
perfect for browning food.
Convection with top and bottom heat
The operation of the convection fan combined with conventional
cooking ensures uniform cooking even when complex recipes are
involved. This function is perfect for cookies and cakes, even if
simultaneously baked on different rack positions.
Convection Broil:
The air produced by the convection fan softens the intense heat wave
generated by the broiler, perfectly broiling even the thickest food. This
function is perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. pork leg).
Convection with bottom heat:
The combination of the convection fan and the bottom heating
element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This function is
recommended for finishing off foods that are already well done on the
outside but not on the inside and therefore need a little more time in
the oven. This function can be used for any type of food.
European convection:
The combination of the convection fan and the circular heating
element (built into the rear of the oven) allows several foods to cook
simultaneously on different rack positions, provided that all the foods
require the same cooking temperatures and time. The circulation of
air ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. You can cook
cook fish, vegetables and cookies simultaneously without mixing
odors or flavors.

European convection with top and bottom heat:
The combination of European convection with conventional static
cooking allows several foods to be arranged simultaneously on
different rack positions inside the oven and to cook very quickly and
efficiently.
Perfect for large volumes of food that need intense cooking.
Defrost (default):
Defrosting is aided when the convection fan is running and the top
heating element is on, ensuring uniform distribution of low-
temperature air inside the oven.
Rising:
Rising is aided by the top heat, quickly delivering perfect results for all
types of dough in a very short time.
The choice to defrost or to rising depends on the temperature
selected. Adjust the temperature with or buttons to choose
the function: defrost (85°F) or rising (105°F).
