[. . . ] THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC USES AND CONFORMS TO CURRENT REGULATIONS IN FORCE. THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN BUILT TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: COOKING AND HEATING-UP OF FOOD. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPROPER USE. DO NOT LEAVE THE PACKING IN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. [. . . ] The burner may go out when the knob is released: this is because the thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the operation holding down the knob for a little longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without thermocouples. For models with thermocouples, if the burner should accidentally go out, a safety device will be activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap is open. 6. 2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "6. 3/6. 4 Diameter of containers"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. All containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don't overheat and catch fire. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 15 Instruction for the user 6. 3 Diameter of containers (60 cm. (in cm. ) 12 ­ 14 16 ­ 24 18 ­ 26 6. 4 Switching on the electric hob 6. 4. 1 Switching on the electric hobs The cookers are equipped with hobs of different diameters. These are controlled by a switch and are turned on by turning the knob to the desired position. If this is done wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments before lighting once more. To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. 7. 2 Cooling system The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after the oven has been turned on. Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off. 7. 3 Use of the gas oven 7. 3. 1 Electronic spark lighting Open the oven door completely, press the thermostat knob and turn it clockwise to max. The electronic spark lighting device will be enabled automatically. Once the oven is lit, hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. This device should not be enabled for more than 15 seconds; if after this time the burner has not come on, stop, fully open the oven door and try again after one minute. 7. 3. 2 Manual lighting Open the oven door completely and turn the thermostat knob. Place a lit match to the mouth of the flame pipe A in the centre of the oven floor and press the thermostat knob. Once the oven is lit, hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and check that the oven is lit through the inspection hole B. Choose the cooking temperature by turning the knob clockwise to the desired temperature, between 50° and 275°C. If the burner is accidentally switched off, turn the knob to the off position ( before lighting again. ) and wait for one minute 17 Instruction for the user 7. 4 7. 4. 1 Use of the electric grill Using the grill in cookers with electric oven For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is already cooked, select the and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature. [. . . ] 11. 1. 2 Food stains or residues Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface. Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin. Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. [. . . ]
