INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER: these contain user advice, the description of the controls and the correct procedures for cleaning and maintenance of the appliance. 3 Presentation 1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE. THEREFORE IT MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE COOKER. WE ADVISE YOU TO READ THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE COOKER. ALSO KEEP THE SERIES OF NOZZLES PROVIDED. [. . . ] If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again. 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: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple. On models with a thermocouple, if the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. 7. 2 Practical hints for using the hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph "6. 3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles 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. 18 Instructions for the user 7. 3 Pan diameters (60 cm model) HOB min.

In models with an analogue clock and a timer knob, it should be set to . appears 8. 1 General warnings and advice Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to their maximum temperature (260°C for electric ovens and 275°C for gas ovens) long enough to burn away any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food unpleasant odours. After a power outage, the oven will show the display . To adjust it, see paragraph "9 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER (ON flashing and the symbol CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)". During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of the directives in force. WARNING: the gas oven must be lit with the oven door open. The oven is equipped with a safety system that blocks ignition of the burner if the door is closed. If you make a mistake in the lighting procedure, open the oven door and wait a few minutes before trying to light it again. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. [. . . ] The burners can be left to soak in warm water and detergent. Replace the flame spreader crowns, making sure that they are correctly in place with their respective burner caps and ensuring that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. 12. 2. 4 Igniters and thermocouples For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean (on certain models). Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle. 12. 3 Cleaning the oven For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. [. . . ]
