[. . . ] 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. 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. 6. 3 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 point “6. 4 Pan diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob. 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. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. • 40 • Instructions for the user 6. 4 Pan diameters • • Burner Auxiliary • min. Ø (cm) 12 16 18 18 • max.

The glass could crack and break with the heat. • • 41 • Instructions for the user 7. USING THE OVEN 7. 1 Before using the appliance • • • • • Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”. • Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. • 7. 2 Oven runners • • • • • • The oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see figure). • 7. 3 Storage compartment (on some models only) • • • • • • The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker. It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc. • Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high. • 7. 4 Cooling system • • • • • • The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off. 7. 5 Internal light • • • • • • The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected. 42 • Instructions for the user 7. 6 General warnings and advice for use • • • • • All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause hazards. • 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. • For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the • centre of the rack. • • To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door • in two stages: keep it half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then open it fully. [. . . ] Make the connection to the gas mains using a continuous wall flexible steel hose whose specifications comply with the applicable standard. Carefully screw the connector 3 to the appliance’s gas connector 1 (½” thread ISO 228-1), placing the seal 2 between them. 1 2 3 • 11. 5. 3Connection with a flexible steel hose with conical fitting (where present) • • • • WARNING: The following instructions are valid for all types of installation, see fig. A, B, C in chapter “11. 1 Installing in kitchen units”. Only use standards-compliant continuous wall steel hoses no longer than 2 metres. • • • • • This type of installation can be used for both built-in and free-standing appliances. Make the connection to the gas mains using a continuous wall flexible steel hose whose specifications comply with the applicable standard. [. . . ]
