Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the flame for the relevant burner. To light one of the burners on the hob:

1.Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.

2.Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an

anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting .

3.Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level

by turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting , the maximum setting or any position in between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with an

electronic lighting device (see

figure), press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the minimum flame setting, until the burner is lit. The burner may

be extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period of time.

!If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.

If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device, press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight and to activate the device.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position 0.

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner:

￿To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.

￿For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must be used only for the auxiliary burner, when pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.

Burner	ø Cookware Diameter (cm)
Fast (R)	24 - 26
Semi Fast (S)	16 - 20
Auxiliary (A)	10 - 14
Triple Crown (TC)	24 - 26

Using the oven

￿The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

￿Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

In order to cool down the temperature of their exterior, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that comes on when the programme selector knob is turned. In this case, the fan is always on and a normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.

Note: when cooking is done, the fan stays on, even if knob is set to “0”, until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

In "Fast cooking" mode, the fan comes on automatically only when the oven is hot.

Once you have removed the food from the oven, we recommend you leave the oven door ajar for a few minutes: this will drastically reduce the duration of the cooling cycle. The process is controlled by an additional thermostat and can consist of one or more cycles.

1.Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2.Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

•Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

•Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

•Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

￿Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
