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 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 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 (only a few
models)
Some models are equipped with instant electronic light-
ing 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 activated by lighting pressing on the “L”
button, identified by the 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.
Models with Flame Failure Device (only a few models)
These models are identified by the presence of a flame
detection device (see detail H).
Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a
safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob
pressed in for about 6 seconds to allow the gas to pass
until the safety thermocouple is heated.
Gas Cut Off (only a few models)
This cooker has a safety cut out feature which switches
off the burners when you close the cover. This device is
provided as a safety feature in case the cover is lowered
with the burners on. Always turn off the gas and allow the
burners to cool before closing the cover. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause the glass cover to shatter.
Keep the cover open when using the oven.
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 centre heating element will come on and the
rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. 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.
Double Grill
Both of the top heating elements turn on and the rotisserie
motor (if present) is activated.
This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in
the corners of the oven.
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.
