Start-up and use
Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing
the strength of the flame for the relevant burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting
.
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by
turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction.
This may be the minimum setting , the maximum setting
or any position in between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with an
electronic lighting device* (see
figure), press the BURNER knob
and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the minimum
flame setting, until the burner is lit.
The burner might be extinguished
when the knob is released. If this
occurs, repeat the process, holding
the knob down for a longer period of time.
! If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner
and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*,
press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3
seconds to keep the flame alight and to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the
stop position

Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and
to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended
that only pans which have a lid and a flat base are used.
They should also be suited to the size of the burner.
Burner
Fast (R)
Semi Fast (S)
Auxiliary (A)
Triple Crown (TC)
Ø Cookware Diameter (cm)
24 - 26
16 - 22
10 - 14
24 - 26
! Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob
while it is being used.
! For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must
be used only for the auxiliary burner, when pans with a
diameter of less than 12 cm are used.
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following
in mind: All types of pans can be used on the burners. The
important thing is that the bottom should be completely even.
WARNING! The glass lid can
break in if it is heated up. Turn
off all the burners and the electric
plates before closing the lid.
Applies to the models with glass
cover only.
Using the oven
! When inserting the shelf
make sure the backstop is
at the rear of the cavity (see
image).
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for
at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated
before switching the oven off and opening the oven door.
The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused
by protective substances used during the manufacturing
process burning away.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT
knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and
the suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking Modes).
3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that
the oven is heating up to the temperature set.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0”
position.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It
switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected
temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches
off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and
is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
