Teka FSFF90GGS/S 40297240 Using the Burners, Recommendations for an optimal use of the burners

USING THE BURNERS

The symbols printed on the control panel above each knob indicate which knob corresponds with which burner. The burners can be lit differently, depending on the type of appliance and its specific characteristics:

-Manual ignition (always possible even in the event of a power failure): Push down and turn the knob corresponding to the selected burner counter clockwise, to the MAXIMUM position (large flame Figure 17) and put a lit match to the burner.

-Electric ignition: Push down and turn the knob corresponding to the selected burner counter clockwise, to the MAXIMUM position (large flame Figure 17), hold the knob so it is aligned with the ignition symbol (a star) and release as soon as the burner is lit.

-Lighting burners with a safety device (thermocouple figure 18): Push down and turn the knob corresponding to the selected burner counter clockwise, to the MAXIMUM position (large flame Figure 17), push down the knob and use one of the above ignition methods. After ignition, hold the knob down for about 10 seconds, so the flame can heat the thermocouple. If the burner goes out after releasing the knob, repeat the entire operation.

N.B.: Do not try to light a burner if the flame spreader is not in the right position.

Recommendations for an optimal use of the burners:

-Use suitable pans for each burner (see table no. 4 and Figure 19).

-When a pan starts to boil, turn the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame Figure 17).

-Always use lids with pans.

TABLE NO. 4

BURNER	Recommended PAN DIAMETERS (cm)
Auxiliary	12 - 14
Semirapid	14 - 26
Rapid	18 - 26

NOTE: Use flat-bottomed pans

NOTE: after cleaning the burners, make sure the caps “A” and flame spreader heads “B” are positioned properly as shown in figure 20A and are not positioned as shown in figure 20B.

NOTE: If there is no electric power supply, the burners can be lit with matches. When cooking foods with oil and grease, which are easily inflammable, do not leave the appliance unattended.

If the appliance is fitted with a glass lid, this may shatter when heated. Turn off all burners before lowering the lid. Do not use sprays near the appliance when in use. When using the burners, make sure pan handles are positioned properly. Keep children away. If the oven has a lid, clean the oven top of any food deposits before lowering the lid.

NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Therefore, proper aeration in the room is needed while ensuring that natural ventilation openings remain unobstructed.

Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional aeration, for example by opening a window, or more efficient aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical exhauster, if installed.

USING THE GAS OVEN

All gas oven cookers are equipped with a safety thermostat to adjust the cooking temperature. To set the oven temperature, turn the knob (Figure 21) counter clockwise so the indicator is aligned with the temperature selected. The gas oven can be operated with the electric grill (figure 21).

The gas oven can also be used with the fan, operating the oven fan from the change-over switch on the control panel. The circulation of hot air ensures that heat is evenly distributed. It is not necessary to preheat the oven, however in the case of delicate baking, the oven should be preheated before putting in baking trays. The convection fan cooking system changes to some extent concepts about traditional cooking. Meat does not have to be turned during cooking and a spit does not have to be used for rotisserie roasting. The meat can be simply put on the rack.

Cooking temperatures with a gas fan oven are slightly lower, by about 10-15°C, than a traditional gas oven.

WARNING: If the burner flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before lighting the burner again.
