GAS BURNERS (Rapid and triple ring)
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1) which
control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the symbols printed on itself point to the symbol printed on
the control panel achieves the following functions:
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of
liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the
indicator towards the position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between
the maximum aperture and positions.
N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their positions
and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

GAS BURNER (Dual)
The Dual Burner is a very flexible burner which allows different regulations and optimal
cooking.
It is composed by one inner and two outer crowns; the flame of the inner crown can be
regulated separately from the flames of the outer crowns.
The Dual Burner can be used:
- as a small burner (flame produced only by the inner crown) which can be adjusted
from the maximum ( )to the minimum ( )position. Intermediate oper-
ating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maxi-
mum and minimum opening positions, and never between the maximum opening
and position.
- as a high-power burner (all flames produced simultaneously by inner and outer
crowns) which can be adjusted from the maximum ( )to the minimum ( )
position.
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.3) which

CORRECT USE OF DUAL BURNER (Fig. 2.6a - 2.6b)
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WO you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any
faulty operation of the dual burner (Figs. 2.6a - 2.6b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 2.6b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest
for the dual burner.
Fig. 2.6a
WRONG
Fig. 2.6b
CORRECT
CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.5)
The symbols printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capac-
ity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating poten-
tial of the burners in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the burners, bringing about
a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that
boiling conditions are reached quicker.

Wok pans max 36 cm (14" 3/16)
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Make sure that the handles of
cookware do not stick out over the
edge of the range, to avoid them
being knocked over by accident.
This also makes it more difficult
for children to reach the cooking

GAS GRIDDLE
■The griddle plate, supplied with this range, is made of stainless steel. It shall
be installed before using the range.
■Never use the griddle without using the supplied griddle plate. Do not use other
griddle plates or cookware on the griddle burner.
■Never use the griddle plate in combination with the rapid, triple-ring or dual
burners. It shall be used only in combination with the griddle burner.
■Never use the supplied griddle plate in combination with other ranges / products.
■Do not use the griddle plate for baking or grilling.
■Do not use cookware on the griddle plate. Do not put aluminium foils.
■Do not remove the griddle plate immediately after use; let it to cool down. We
suggest to use always suitable protective gloves.
■Do not pour cold water on the hot griddle plate. This may warp the griddle plate,
producing an uneven cooking surface.
■ATTENTION: the griddle cooking plate is designed with a front integrated cup
to settle the cooking juices and then to drain these juices (through a hole) to
the bottom grease tray. To avoid burns or scalds take care not to spill the hot
juices.
eep special attention when handling / moving the griddle plate.
■For safety reasons the gas griddle does not operate when one oven is
setted in the self cleaning mode (never operate both ovens of the range in
self cleaning mode at the same time): a safety device disconnects the gas
flow to the griddle burner. We remark that this safety device operates when
the oven selector knob becomes turned in self cleaning mode; this means
that the griddle burner does not work also if the self cleaning mode has
not been started by mean of the digital programmer.

USING THE GRIDDLE
Before using the griddle the griddle plate cooking surface shall be seasoned.
Seasoning is an important process which keeps food from sticking during cook-
ing and avoid surface corrosion. Once the griddle plate is seasoned, it can be used
with or without additional grease or shortening. This shall also be done after every
cleaning.
Seasoning the griddle cooking surface:
1 - Clean the griddle surface thoroughly.
2 - Pour onto the center of the griddle plate a small amount of cooking oil (about one
ounce per square foot of surface).
Do not use corn oil. Spread oil over entire surface with a paper towel or coarse
cloth to create a thin film.
3- Turn the control knob to the position (minimum rate); when the oil begins to
smoke, turn the control knob to the position.
Allow griddle to cool.
Wipe off excessive oil with paper towel or cloth.
4 - Repeat the above procedure (steps 2 and 3) two to three times until the griddle
plate has a slick, mirror-like surface.
5 - When the griddle is cool, wipe it clean with a paper towel. Apply a very thin layer
of vegetable oil. The griddle cooking plate is now ready to use.
Do not place another utensil on the seasoned griddle plate to simmer or keep food
warm.
Metallic taste or discolored foods are signs of improper or inadequate seasoning
or may result from cooking acidic foods. If this occurs, wash thoroughly and sea-
son.
When using the griddle:
1 - Check that the bottom grease tray is empty, clean and correctly fitted.
2 - Check the right positioning of the griddle cooking plate. The integrated front grease
tray shall be empty and clean.
3 - Turn on the griddle burner.
4 - Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the griddle to preheat.
5 - Place the food on the griddle and cook to desired doneness.
6 - Remove food particles with a metal spatula (not supplied) during cooking to make
the clean up easier and to avoid including those particles in the cooked food. Be
sure to keep the spatula flat. The corners can scratch. Direct the flow of grease to
the center of the front integrated grease tray. Pay attention not to spill the cook-
ing juices.
7 - Do not overheat the griddle cooking plate. Turn it off when not in use, or lower heat
between cooking loads.
Do not overheat or leave empty griddle plate on burner. Do not use high heat when
cooking. High, intense or uneven heat may warp your griddle. Since steel heats
evenly, you will not need to use extremely high cooking temperatures.
It is normal for the griddle to darken with use. Variations in color are normal and
should be expected.
Remove and clean the grease trays (one integrated in the front portion of the grid-
dle plate and one positioned below the griddle plate, in the front part - see
"GREASE TRAY" chapter) after every use. Use care when cleaning the grease
trays so that the contents are not spilled.
The griddle and its parts are hot.
Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing to avoid burns or scalds. keep
children or infirm persons away. Use always suitable protective gloves.

햴
GRIDDLE CARE
After using the griddle, always pour grease from the grease trays (one integrated in the
front portion of the griddle plate and one positioned below the griddle plate, in the front
part - see "GREASE TRAY" chapter).
Use a dry cloth to wipe up any accumulation and wash in hot soapy water or with an
antibacterial cleaner. The grease trays need to be cleaned after each use of the griddle:
if grease is permitted to accumulate, a fire hazard could occur.
It takes very little time and effort to keep the griddle attractive and performing at top effi-
ciency. If grease is permitted to accumulate, it will form a gummy cake and then car-
bonize into a hard substance, which is extremely difficult to remove. To prevent this con-
dition, the following suggestions for proper cleanliness should be followed:
1 - After each use, scrape the griddle with a scraper or a flexible spatula to remove
excess fat and food. If there is an accumulation of burned on fat and food, the grid-
dle should be thoroughly scoured and re-seasoned. Use pumice or griddle stone
while the griddle is warm. Do not use steel wool because of the danger of steel sliv-
ers getting into the food.
2 - Daily, use a clean cloth and a good non-abrasive cleaner to clean the stainless steel
body of the griddle.
3 - Once a week, clean the griddle surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle
stone, screen or Scotch Bright pad on the surface. Rub with the grain of the metal
while the griddle is still warm. A detergent may be used on the plate surface to help
clean it, but be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed. After removal of the
detergent, the griddle must be reseasoned.
If the griddle usage is very high, consider going through the weekly cleaning pro-
cedures more often than once a week.
Never put the hot griddle into cold water. This may warp the griddle plate, pro-
ducing an uneven cooking surface.
After each cleaning, wipe the griddle surface with a light film of cooking oil to pro-
tect the finish. Do not use corn oil. Do not wash griddle in dishwasher.
WARNING. VERY IMPORTANT.
Before any operation of maintenance disconnect the appliance from the elec-
trical mains supply. Before cleaning the griddle, turn control knob to OFF and
al low griddle to cool.

how to use the warmer drawer
USING THE WARMING DRAWER FOR THE FIRST TIME
•Switch on the warming drawer empty at maximum power ( ) for about 2 hours to
remove traces of grease and smells from the components.
• When the warming drawer has cooled down and unplugging the range, clean the
inside of the drawer with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it per-
fectly.
WARNING: The drawer is hot during operation, use the handle.
WARNING:
The warming drawer is for keep-
ing hot food hot. Never use it to
warm or heat a room or to warm-
ing plates.
IMPORTANT:
During the self-cleaning cycle the
warming drawers do not operate.
If during self-cleaning cycle the
warming drawer control knob has
been turned ON return the knob
to the OFF position. Otherwise at
the end of the self-cleaning cycle
and after having turned the oven
selector control knob to the OFF
position, the warming drawer will
operates.
CORRECT USE OF THE WARMING DRAWER
• The warming drawer will keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
• Always start with hot food.
• DO NOT use to heat cold food other than proofing yeast dough, crisping crackers,
chips, and dry cereal, or warming dishes or plates.
• Use care when opening the drawer. Open door a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before re-moving or replacing food.
• Do not place food in unopened containers in the drawer. Pressure could build up and
cause container to burst.
• Do not put directly the food inside the warming drawer but always use suitable con-
tainers/pans.
• Do not touch the interior surface of the drawer while it is in use. The interior of the
drawer could become hot enough to cause burns.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let
potholders touch hot heating element located upper the drawer.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will
trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could dam-
age the interior finish.
• Do not store flammable materials in the drawer.
• Do not use plastic containers. Do not use no heat resistant containers.
• Do not use the warming drawer as a storage drawer.
