The different functions of the cooker and how they may be used

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

Cut-off gas control (only on certain models)

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to all burners when the lid is closed. To restore the gas supply proceed as follows:

∙Lift up the lid to the vertical position.

∙Make sure that all burner knobs are in the OFF position.

∙Rotate the cut-off knob anticlockwise to the ON position: the cut-off valve will open and the knob will remain in the ON position.

Warning: the gas supply will shut off automatically when the lid is closed and the cut-off knob will return to the OFF position automatically. Don’t turn the cut-off knob to the OFF position manually, you may damage the safety device.

The oven and grill knob (5)

Check that Cut-OFF Gas Control (only on certain models) is in ON position. Use the knob to select the different oven functions and to set the cooking temperature you require from those indicated on the knob. To light the oven burner, hold a lighted match or lighter near hole “A”, at the same time press down and turn the oven knob counter clockwise up to the Max position “h”.

This temperature is reached automatically and kept constant by the knob-controlled thermostat. Before placing food inside the oven this should be heated at maximum temperature for approximately 15 minutes, and then the knob should be rotated back to desired temperature.

Caution: Check that the burner has lit, through the holes at the sides of the oven. When using the oven keep the lid of the cooker completely open so that the fumes can circulate through the vent and cut-off valve remains in ON position.

Important Notice: Cooking utensils, dishes, etc., should not be placed on the bottom floor of the oven. After placing a lit match or lighter near the grill burner, press the knob in all the way and turn it to the “Grill” setting (Fig. H), This will turn on the grill with infrared rays which is ideal for browning, as well as for cooking roasts, chops, sausage, and roast-beef. When using the grill, place a dripping-pan under the grill to catch the grease. Always make sure that the flame is lit on both sides of the burner.

Since the cooker is equipped with a safety device on oven burner, the knob must be kept pressed in for about 10 seconds to activate the flame failure device.

Turn the grill on a few minutes before placing food in the oven. When using the grill the oven door should be left in the intermediate STOP position.

Important: Before lighting the grill, the guard plate, as supplied with the cooker, should be placed in position (Fig. I).
