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. [. . . ] USING THE COOKING HOB 6. 1 Lighting the cooking hob burners Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. The supplied rack C is for use with woks (Chinese pans). The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electric lighting device. To light the burners, press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. Keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for longer. If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. 61 Instructions for the user 6. 2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6. 3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 6. 3 Pan diameters BURNERS Ø min.

The nonstick film is very delicate and may be damaged if metal utensils are used. Use only utensils made from wood or plastic resistant to high temperatures. 62 Instructions for the user 7. USING THE OVENS 7. 1 General warnings and advice When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the maximum temperature (250-220°C) for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant odours. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. To access food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. If both ovens are in use at the same time, there may be problems with delicate cooking processes. 5 cm 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 as soon as a cooking function is selected. The same applies to timed cooking operations. [. . . ] Reassemble the burner caps on their crowns, ensuring that niches A are centred with burner pins B. 10. 2. 5 Ignition plugs and thermocouples For best performance, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must always be kept thoroughly clean. Check them frequently and if necessary clean them with a wet cloth. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle. 76 Instructions for the user 10. 3 Cleaning the ovens (without self-cleaning panels) To keep an oven in good condition it must be cleaned regularly.
