We advise you to read this manual carefully. It contains all necessary instructions for maintaining unaltered the appearance and functional qualities of the cooker. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER: these are for the autorized persons who must carry out a suitable check of the gas system, install the appliance, set it functioning and carry out an inspection test. [. . . ] 6/7 seconds after the last time a key is pressed, the display will show the current time and the cooking start and end times, indicated by the illuminated inside segments. The segments on the display will be constantly on until the current time is the same as the cooking start time; as soon as the current time reaches the cooking start time set, all the inside segments will start to flash, indicating that the oven has started cooking. When the end of the cooking time is reached, the timer will switch off the oven heating elements, the beeps will start and the numbers on the dial will flash. To reset the entire program set, keep the central key pressed for 1 or 2 seconds: if cooking has already started the oven will have to be switched off by hand. The image on the right shows an example of programming: the current time is 7. 06 and cooking is programmed to start at 8 o'clock and finish at 9. At 8 o'clock, the inside segments between 8 and 9 will start to flash and the hour pointer will remain still. Caution: for the oven to start cooking after the programming procedure just described, the thermostat and function selector must be properly set on the temperature and function required. 5. 2. 4 "DEMO" Function Models with analogue/digital programmer feature a "DEMO" function which deactivates the heating elements while leaving the other functions unchanged. To activate it, simply press the , and keys for 3/4 seconds. A confirmation beep will inform the user that the function is active. To deactivate it, simply repeat the same procedure. 21 Instructions for the user 6. 6. 1 USE OF THE COOKING HOB Lighting of the cooking hob burners Before lighting the cooking hob burners check that the flame cap crowns are properly positioned with their appropriate burner caps: niche A must be centred with pin B. Grid B should be used with Chinese woks. Each knob corresponds to the burner indicated. The appliance is equipped with an electronic lighting device. Just press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. Keep the knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat up. If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the thermocouple isn’t hot enough. Repeat ignition and keep the knob pressed longer. If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20 seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap 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 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.

Use absorbent kitchen paper or, in case of hard to remove dirt, wash with a wet sponge and ordinary detergent. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE Ovens periodically require small maintenance interventions or replacement of parts subject to wear and tear such as gaskets, electric bulbs etc. Specific instructions for each intervention of this type appear below. Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the machine to avoid the possibility of electric shock. 11. 1 Replacement of light bulbs Remove cover A by twisting anticlockwise, replace bulb B with another similar bulb.
