The different functions and uses of the oven

The various functions included in the cooker are selected by operating the control devices located on the cooker control panel.

Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob

The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:. To light

one of the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner. Press down and turn the corresponding knob

in the counter-clockwise direction to the maximum setting. Each burner can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate power. Shown on the knob are

the different symbols for off (the knob is on this setting

when the symbol lines up with the reference mark on the

control panel), for maximum and minimum .

To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with

the symbol).

Electronic Lighting of the Hob Burners

Some models are equipped with instant electronic light- ing of the gas burners located on the hob, which can be

identified by the presence of an igniter device (see detail C). This device is activated by lighting pressing on the “L

button, identified by the symbol. To turn on a burner, simply press the “L” button and then press while, at the same time, pressing in and turning the control knob for the burner in the anticlockwise direction until the burner lights. To light the burner immediately, it is recom- mended that the button be pressed first and then the knob turned.

Caution: If the burner accidentally goes out, turn off the burner using the knob and wait at least one minute before relighting.

Models with Flame Failure Device (only a few models) These models are identified by the presence of a flame detection device (see detail H).

Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 6 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple is heated.

Gas Cut Off (only a few models)

This cooker has a safety cut out feature which switches off the burners when you close the cover. This device is provided as a safety feature in case the cover is lowered
