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 ignition
button, marked with the
symbol
, then hold the
BURNER knob down and turn
it in an anticlockwise direction,
towards the maximum flame
setting, until the burner is lit.
Several models are equipped with an ignition device
which is built into the knob; in this case the
electronic ignition device* is present (see figure) but
the ignition button is not. Simply press the BURNER
knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that
it is pointing to the maximum flame setting, until the
burner is lit. The burner may be extinguished when
the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the
operation, 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 •.
Start-up and use
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 that
have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also
be suited to the size of the burner.
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle
specifications”.
Using the oven
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.
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
Lighting the oven
To light the oven burner, bring
a flame or gas lighter close to
opening F (see figure) and
press the OVEN control knob
while turning it in an
anticlockwise direction until it
reaches the MAX position.
If, after 15 seconds, the burner is still not alight,
release the knob, open the oven door and wait for at
least 1 minute before trying to light it again.
The oven is fitted with a safety device and it is
therefore necessary to hold the OVEN control knob
down for approximately 6 seconds.
