[. . . ] USING THE COOKING HOB 6. 1 General warnings and advice Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. 6. 2 Lighting the hob burners All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic lighter. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to "0" and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for longer. If the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. 6. 3 Practical hints for using the hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph "6. 4 Cookware diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 16 Instructions for the user 8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN The ECO symbol indicates which function gives the least energy consumption. STATIC: As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. BOTTOM: The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. This symbol also includes the cleaning function, see "9. 6 VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)". SMALL GRILL: Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any types of grilled vegetable side dishes. GRILL: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present) gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. [. . . ] Make the connection to the gas mains using a continuous wall flexible steel hose whose specifications comply with the applicable standard. Carefully screw the connector 3 to the appliance's gas connector 1 (1/2" thread ISO 228-1), placing the seal 2 between them. 1 2 3 11. 4 Electrical connection Make sure the voltage and the cross-section of the power supply line match the specifications indicated on the identification plate positioned on the appliance. Do not remove this plate for any reason. A copy of the plate is attached to the instructions. [. . . ]
