4FINAL OPERATIONS
After replacing the nozzles, reposition the flame-spreader crowns, the burner caps and the grids.
Following adjustment to a gas other than the preset one, replace the gas adjustment label fixed to
the appliance with the one corresponding to the new gas. This label is in the packet together with the
nozzles.
4.1 Regulation of the hob burner minimum level for natural gas
Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position . Extract the gas
tap knob and turn the adjustment screw at the side of the tap rod until the
correct minimum flame is achieved.
Replace the knob and check burner flame stability: (rapidly turning the
knob from maximum to minimum position, the flame should not go out).
Repeat the operation on all the gas taps.
For models with valves, keep the knob at minimum level for about 1 minute to keep the flame lit and
to activate the safety device.
4.2 Regulation of the hob burner minimum level for LPG
For regulating the minimum with LPG, the screw at the side of the tap rod must be turned clockwise
all the way.
The bypass diameters for each individual burner are shown in paragraph “3.2/3.3 Burner and nozzle
characteristics table”. Once the regulation has been completed, replace the seal on the by-passes
using paint or similar materials.
4.3 Regulation of the oven burner minimum level
The oven thermostat is equipped with a by-pass to regulate the minimum level, which is visible
underneath the thermostat knob.
When the gas type is changed, the by-pass should be regulated as follows:
1. Turn on the oven burner to maximum for 10/15 minutes with the door closed and without the
floor. Turn the knob to the minimum temperature, remove the knob and regulate using a flat
screwdriver.
2. For LPG turn the by-pass screw clockwise as far as it will go. The by-pass diameter is shown in
the paragraph “3.2/3.3 Burner and nozzle characteristics table”.
3. For natural gas, regulate the by-pass so that turning the thermostat knob from minimum to
maximum the flame remains stable and constant. Once the regulation has been completed,
replace the seal on the by-pass using paint or similar materials. Close the oven door and make
sure that the burner stays on minimum.
4.4 Positioning and levelling of the appliance
Having carried out the electricity and gas hook-up, level the appliance using the four adjustable legs.
For best cooking the appliance must be perfectly level.

6USE OF THE COOKING HOB
6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners
Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in the correct position and that their
burner caps are in place, making sure that the holes Ain the flame caps correspond to the spark
plugs and thermocouples.
Before lighting the burners lift the glass cover; before lowering the cover, turn off all the burners
and wait for them to cool down.
The optional grid Bis for use with “woks” (Chinese pans).
To prevent deterioration of the hob we have equipped the cooker with a raised pan stand Cto be
placed underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The supplied reduction rest Cis also used for small pans.
The drawing next to each knob shows the corresponding burner. The appliance
has an electronic lighting device. Simply press and turn the knob anticlockwise
to the minimum flame symbol , until the ring is lit. If it does not light within the
first 15 seconds, turn the knob to 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to
light the burner again. Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouples to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released:
this is because the thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the
operation holding down the knob for a little longer. This operation is not
necessary for burners without thermocouples.
For models with thermocouples, if the burner should accidentally go out, a safety device will be
activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap is open. In this case, turn the knob back to the off
position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.
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 “6.3/6.4
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.

6.5 Switching on the electric hob
6.5.1 Switching on the electric hobs
The cookers are equipped with hobs of different diameters. These are controlled by a switch and are
turned on by turning the knob to the desired position. On the front panel above each knob a small
drawing shows which hob corresponds to each knob. A yellow warning light lights up when the hob
is switched on.
6.5.2 How to use the electric hobs
The rapid hobs offer the advantage of ultra-rapid cooking. Purely as an example the regulation table
for the hobs is shown below.
RAPID HOBS HEAT INTENSITY POSSIBLE COOKING
0 Off -
1 Weak To melt butter, chocolate, etc.
To heat small amounts of liquid.
2 Soft To heat larger amounts of liquid.
3 Slow To defrost frozen food and prepare stews, cooking at
or just below boiling point.
4 Medium To cook food which has to reach boiling point, to roast
delicate meat or fish.
Strong For roasts, steaks and large boiled joints.
5

6 Very strong
WARNING
When switching on the hob for the first time, or if the hob has not been used for
a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be
dried out by placing the hob on position 1 for 30 minutes.
To use correctly remember to:
•Switch the hob only after having placed the pan on it.
•Use flat and thick bottomed pans.
•Never use pans which are smaller than the hob.
•Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hob.
•After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the
electric hob must be treated with specific cleaning products which are
available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust
formation).
•When cooking with flammable oils and fats, never leave the appliance.
•The hobs will stay hot for a long time after use: do not touch them or place
any objects on them.
•Before switching on the electric hobs, lift up the glass cover on the cooker;
before closing it, switch off the hobs and wait for them to cool down.
•If any dents appear in the hob surface, switch it off immediately and contact
the nearest authorised servicing centre.

7USE OF THE OVEN
For those models with electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that the
display shows the symbol .
For those models with analogue clock and timer, place on the symbol .
7.1 Warnings and general advice
Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C for
electric oven and 275°C for gas oven) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues
which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a power cut, the oven display will flash
intermittently and show . To adjust refer to paragraph "8 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER (ONLY
ON EQUIPPED MODELS)”.
The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which
conform to the standing directives.
WARNING: the gas oven is lit with the door open. The oven is equipped
with a safety system which stops the burners being lit when the door is
closed. If this is done wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments
before lighting once more.
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.
7.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after
the oven has been turned on.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time
even after the oven has been turned off.
7.3 Use of the electric grill
7.3.1 Using the grill in cookers with electric oven
For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is already cooked, select the
static grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature. The fan grill
function (certain models only) allows actual cooking procedures to be carried out, thanks to the fan
function which ensures that the heat penetrates into the food. For this cooking mode, select the fan
grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the ideal cooking temperature (never set at more
than 200° C).
7.3.2 Operation of the grill + rotisserie (on some models only)
Both the static and the fan grill functions can be used for cooking in combination with the rotisserie.
Fit the spit rod into the rotisserie bushing, select the or fan grill function and turn the
