COOK-TOP USE

USING THE GAS BURNERS

The following symbols are found on the control panel next to each knob:

- Circle	gas off
- Large flame	maximum setting
- Small flame	minimum setting

The minimum position is at the end of the anti-clockwise rotation of the knob. Knob positions must be set between max. and min.; never set the knobs between max. and off.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION

To turn a burner on, press the knob corresponding to the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the max position. Keeping the knob pressed, the burner will automatically ignite.

In the event of a power failure, the burner can also be lit using a match.

SAFETY VALVE

Follow the same procedure described above to ignite the burners. In this case, however, once you have turned the knob to the open setting, hold it pressed down for 10 seconds.

If for any reason the burner flame goes out, the safety valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner in question.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

•The diameter of the pan bottom should be the same as that of the burner. The burner flame must never exceed the pan’s diameter.

•Use flat-bottomed pans only.

•Whenever possible, keep a lid on the pan while cooking. This allows you cook using less heat.

•Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with as little water as possible to reduce cooking times.

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN

The first time the oven is used, it may give off an acrid smell, caused by the first heating of insulating panels adhesive surrounding the oven

(heat the oven at the maximum temperature for about 30-40 minutes with closed door).

It is perfectly normal for the oven to smoke when first used; wait for the smoke to stop before placing food into the oven.

The oven is fitted with: a grill shelf for cooking food in oven dishes or for placing directly on the grill shelf itself, a drip-tray for cooking sweets, biscuits, pizzas, etc., or for collecting juices and fats from food cooked directly on the grill shelf.

Note: The following tables provide a guide for cooking some of the most popular dishes. The cooking times recommended in these tables are approximate. After a few attemps, we are sure that you will be able to adjust the times to get the results you want.
