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
direction to the maximum 
setting.Each burner can be oper- ated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate power. Shown

Electronic Lighting of the Hob Burners
Some models are equipped with instant electronic lighting 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 acti- vated by lighting pressing on the “L” button, identified by the
1symbol.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.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom- mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur- ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in- stalled.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.
