The different functions and uses of the oven
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
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
setting. Each burner can be oper-
ated 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
and minimum .
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 Lighting of the Hob Burners
Some models are equipped with instant electronic lighting of the
gas burners located on the hob, which can be identified by the
presence of an igniter device (see detail C). This device is acti-
vated by lighting pressing on the “L” button, identified by the
1
symbol. To turn on a burner, simply press the “L” button and
then press while, at the same time, pressing in and turning the
control knob for the burner in the anticlockwise direction until the
burner lights. To light the burner immediately, it is recom-
mended that the button be pressed first and then the knob
turned.
Caution: If the burner accidentally goes out, turn off the
burner using the knob and wait at least one minute before
relighting.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
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.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the
symbol on the timer knob.
Using the oven
When the oven control knob (M) is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol
the fan and oven light will
come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating
further to the complete range of temperatures shown on
the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the
food you are going to cook. The temperature is reached
automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from
50°C to 240°C).
Note: Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking knob
(O) must be set with “MAX” in line with the reference mark
on the control panel.
Grill
The top heating element will come on. On this setting,
food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the
downward direction by the electric heating element. The
very high temperature and direct heat of the grill make it
possible to brown meats on the surface while locking in
the juices to keep them tender.
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be left
partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between door
and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.
D
Oven Light
The light comes on when the "M" knob is turned to the
setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains
on when any of the heating elements is turned on.
Thermostat Light (I)
This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set-
ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature
at a constant level.
Cooking Control Timer Knob (only a few models)
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control
when the oven shuts off during cooking. To use this feature,
you must wind the "P" knob one full turn in the counter-
clockwise direction
; Then, turn the knob in the clockwise
direction
, to set the time by matching up the indicator
on the control panel with the number of minutes on the
knob.
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will
sound and automatically turn off the oven.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the
symbol on the timer knob.
