PRECAUTIONS FOR USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AND KEEP IT TO HAND THROUGHOUT THE HOB'S LIFE CYCLE. WE URGE YOU TO READ THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. [. . . ] Heating solid and liquid foods, keeping water on the boil, 4-5 defrosting frozen foods, 2-3 egg omelettes, fruit and vegetable dishes, various cooking operations. Braising meat, fish and vegetables, dishes containing 6 some water, making jams, etc. Roasting meat or fish, steaks, liver, browning meat and 7-8 fish, eggs, etc. Deep-fat frying potatoes etc. , bringing water to the boil 9 quickly. For efficient operation without wasting energy, only pans suitable for cooking on electric appliances must be used: 2-3 35 Instructions for the User · · · Pan bottoms must be very thick and perfectly flat, and they and the hob must be clean and dry. Never use cast iron or rough-bottomed pans since they might scratch the cooking surface. The diameter of the pan bottom must be the same as the diameter of the ring on the cooking zone; otherwise, energy will be wasted. 6. 5 Barbeque You can use the barbeque section for grilling, gratiné dishes or as a barbeque. The tank underneath the heating element can be filled with: · water (Fig. 1) to collect cooking fat and grease (do not place more than one and a half litres of water in the tank), or; 1) · a layer of lava rock which retains the heat for longer, improving cooking times and quality. In both cases, do not fill above the rim of the basin. Before pouring water or lava rock into the tank, 2) secure the heating element as shown in fig. WARNING: when raised, the movable heating element must always be locked in position with the sliding fixture provided. WARNING: before raising the heating element, make sure it is cold. Risk of burns! WARNING: when the heating element is raised, take care not to turn on the control device. Risk of burns! The barbeque heat level is regulated using the control knob, turning it to the setting required between 1 and 9. Setting is on a gradual scale, so all the intermediate positions between the numbers can be used. The light comes on to indicate that the barbeque is heating up. The larger the pieces, the longer they need to fry. It is therefore important to set a temperature that will cook the food in depth without burning it on the outside. 6. 6. 2 When you finish frying The basket containing the fried food can be left to drain before its contents are poured out. To do this, hang it on the hooks provided in the top of the heating element as shown on the right. Once the basket has been removed, the heating element can be fixed in two positions using its special retainer: 1 position 1 to drain the frying oil before it is raised completely; 2 position 2, which allows convenient removal of the tank. See point "7. 5 Cleaning the frier". 1) 2) WARNING: before removing the oil from the tank, make sure that it is cold. [. . . ] Connection with copper pipe: The connection to the gas supply mains must be made so that no stresses or strains of any kind are applied to the appliance. The connection can be made using the adapter unit D with two conical elemetns, always fitting the gasket C supplied. Connection with steel hose: Use only continuous-wall stainless steel hoses compliant with the relevant regulations, and always fit the gasket C supplied between the fitting A and the hose B. When connecting with a hose, ensure that the total length of the pipeline is not more than 1. 5 metres; also ensure that the hoses do not touch moving parts and are not crushed. 9. 1 Bottled gas connection Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the gas cylinder in accordance with the relevant regulations.
