The various functions included in the cooker are selected by
operating the control devices located on the cooker control
panel.
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)
The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the
knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:•. To light one of
the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner.
Press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-
clockwise direction to the maximum E setting. Each burner
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off •
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the
reference mark on the control panel), for maximum E and
minimum C.
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the
knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the •
symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob
Some of the models are provided with instant electronic lighting
of the hob gas burners; these models are identified by the pres-
ence of a lighting device (see detail J). For immediate lighting,
first press the button and then turn the knob.
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go out,
turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before
trying to relight.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent
Leaks (only on certain models)
These models can be identified by the presence of the device
itself (see detail K).
Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety
device, you must hold the control knob in for about 6 seconds
after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until
the safety thermocouple has heated.
Attention: before using the oven and grill for the first time,
turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make sure
that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the door open,
and the room properly ventilated. The odor which can be
detected at times is due to the evaporation off the substances
used to protect the oven and the grill during the period
between the time of production and installation of the
appliance.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using
the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of
cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything
on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because
this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware
(dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with
the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.
The oven knobs
With these two controls you can select the different
functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu-
re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different
cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:
L - the selection knob
M - the thermostat knob
on the oven panel.
For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified
by the “0”, the oven light turns on; the knob setting marked
8 permits turning on the oven light without any heating
element being switched on. When the oven light is on, it
means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on for the
entire time the oven is being used.
“Defrosting” Mode
Position of thermostat knob “M”: any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
