Before lighting the burners, lift the glass lid; before closing it again, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool. The optional rack B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooking hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised rack C for use underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter. The reduction C supplied is for use with small pans as well. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. 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. 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. 8. 2 Tangential cooling system This system keeps the door and internal components of the oven at a lower temperature through forced recirculation of cool air, guaranteeing increased safety and a longer life for the household appliance. The tangential cooling system remains active even after cooking has finished and continues working when the oven has been switched off in order to disperse all the heat that has built up inside. This mechanism allows all the furniture units surrounding the appliance to be protected, preventing them from overheating. 8. 3 Using the gas oven 8. 3. 1 Electronic spark ignition Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum temperature; the electric spark ignition is activated automatically. When the oven is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, open the oven door completely and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute. 20 Instructions for the user 8. 3. 2 Manual ignition Open the oven door fully and turn the thermostat knob. Bring a lighted match close to the mouth of flame pipe A at the centre of the oven surface and press the thermostat knob. Once it is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and make sure that it has remained lit by looking through inspection hole B. The cooking temperature is selected by turning the knob clockwise to the desired setting, between 50°C and 275°C. If the burner goes out accidentally while in use, turn the knob to the off position ( least one minute before relighting it. [. . . ] Warning: If using cast iron racks (optional extra), at the end of cooking using pans with aluminium bases, you may find white residues on the racks. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the rack and are difficult to remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively aggressive products to clean the rack could damage its enamel surface. 27 Instructions for the user 12. 2. 3 Burner caps and flame-spreader crowns For easier cleaning, the burner caps and the flame spreader crowns can be removed; wash them with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent making sure to remove any encrustations and wait until they are perfectly dry. WARNING: never wash these parts in a dishwasher. [. . . ]
