INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER: these contain user advice, description of the commands and the correct procedures for cleaning and maintenance of the appliance. @ Further information www. smeg. com about the products can be found at 35 Introduction 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE AND PROPER USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE AND THEREFORE MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE COOKER. WE ADVISE READING THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN BEFORE USING THE COOKER. [. . . ] 5 seconds after the last key is pressed, the display will show the current time and the cooking start and end times, which will be represented by the illuminated inside segments. The display segments will be constantly illuminated as long as the current time is not the same as the cooking start time; as soon as the current time reaches the set starting time, all the inside segments will start to flash, indicating that the oven has started cooking. At the end of the cooking time the timer will switch the oven heating elements off, the beeps will start to sound and the numbers on the dial will flash. To delete the entire set program, hold down the central key for 2 seconds; if cooking has already started, the oven will have to be switched off manually. Here we can see a programming example: the current time is 7:06 and cooking is programmed to start at 8. 00 and end at 9. 00. At 8 o'clock the inside segments between 8 and 9 will start to flash, while the hours hand will 1 remain still. Warning: for the oven to start cooking operations after the programming procedures just described, the thermostat and functions switch knob must be correctly set on the desired temperature and function. 5. 3. 5 Display brightness reduction To reduce the energy consumption in stand-by, key can be pressed to reduce the display brightness. To restore the normal brightness, press again. 50 Instructions for the user 6. USING THE COOKING HOB 6. 1 Lighting the cooking hob burners Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. The supplied rack C is for use with woks (Chinese pans). The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electric lighting device. To light the burners, press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the large flame symbol / . On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required. Always check that the control knobs are in the (off) position when you finish using the hob. If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. 51 Instructions for the user 6. 2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6. 3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. [. . . ] In the auxiliary oven, remove the side runners by lifting them at the front and extracting them from the hole at the back. · · DO NOT USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE OVEN. Clean the oven racks and side runners with hot water and nonabrasive detergents, rinse and dry. 63 Instructions for the user For easier cleaning, the storage drawer underneath the oven can be completely removed. Pull it right out and raise the front (as for an ordinary drawer). 10. 3. 1 Self-cleaning liners The main oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners. [. . . ]
