OVEN LIGHT SWITCH (CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

This switch allows the light inside the oven to be switched on at any moment.

This switch is also used to operate the rotisserie.

6 USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1Lighting 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 A in 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 B is for use with “woks” (Chinese pans).

To prevent deterioration of the hob we have equipped the cooker with a raised pan stand C to be placed underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.

The supplied reduction rest C is also used for small pans.

The drawing next to each knob shows the corresponding burner. The appliance has an electronic lighting device. In the models that’s not fitted with a burner ignition button, simply press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the minimum

flame symbol , until the ring is lit. In the models fitted with a burner ignition button turn the knob A as described earlier, while pressing the button B at the same time. 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.

6.2Practical 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.
