USING THE COOKING HOB 6. 1 Lighting of 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 until the burner lights. 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. 53 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. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 6. 3 Pan diameters BURNERS 1 2 3 4 5 Auxiliary Semi rapid Rapid Ultra rapid Ultra rapid Ø min.

USING THE OVENS 7. 1 General warnings and advice Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food unpleasant odours. The user has only to press the central key for 1 - 2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout. To regulate, refer to paragraph "5. 2 Electronic Analogue Clock". During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. [. . . ] Reassemble positioning the side ones first and then the central one. 65 Instructions for the user 10. 2. 2 Burner caps, flame-spreader crowns and burners The burner caps, flame-spreader crowns and burners can be removed for easier cleaning. Remove the pan stands and wash them in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all encrustations, and wait until they are completely dry. Replace the flame-spreader crowns, checking that they are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreader crowns are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. 10. 2. 3 Ignition plugs and thermocouples For best performance, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must always be kept thoroughly clean. Check them frequently and if necessary clean them with a wet cloth. [. . . ]
