INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER: these are for the qualified technician who must carry out a suitable check of the gas system, install the appliance, set it functioning and carry out an inspection test. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER: these contain user advice, description of the commands and the correct procedures for cleaning and maintenance of the appliance. 41 Introduction 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE AND PROPER USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE AND THEREFORE MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE COOKER. WE ADVISE READING THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN BEFORE USING THE COOKER. [. . . ] USE OF THE COOKING HOB 6. 1 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 C 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. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 58 Instructions for the user 6. 3 Diameter of containers BURNERS Ø min.

This film is very delicate and could be damaged or scratched by any metal cooking tool. Use only wooden or heat resistant plastic tools. 7. USE OF THE OVENS 7. 1 Warnings and general advice Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250-220°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste. 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. 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. 59 Instructions for the user 7. 2 Oven Light It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position. 7. 3 Cooling fan The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation regardless of the cooking function selected, including the automatic cooking function. The fan, installed in the rear of the appliance, drives the air across the top of the oven and through the vent slits above the door. [. . . ] 10. 2. 5 Ignition plugs and thermocouples To work well, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must always be very clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a wet rag if necessary. Any dry residue should be removed with a toothpick or a needle. 10. 3 Cleaning of ovens (without self-cleaning panels) To keep an oven in good condition it must be cleaned regularly. In the main oven, remove the shelf runners by unscrewing the ring-nut "A" and extract them from the runner "B" by pulling outward. [. . . ]
