HOB OPERATION
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.
Each burner can be regulated with the corresonding control
knob "M" by using one of the following settings:
Off
High flame
Low flame
The symbols near the knobs show the position of the
relative burner on the hob. The burners are fitted with automatic
ignition and thermocouple safety device, which automatically
cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame
accidentally goes out during operation.
Ignite a burner
To ignite a burner, proceed as follows:
turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is
on the high-flame symbol;
press the knob down fully and activate the automatic gas
ignition by pushing at the same time the button "P"
(marked with the symbol );
keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the
flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;
release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is
not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting the
knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off
position " " .
Important:
Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than
15 consecutive seconds.
Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas
duct.
If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues
to exit for a few moments before the safety device activates.
Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt
ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas
disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
When the equipment is not in operation, check that the
knobs are in the off position " " .
Using the burners
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable
to use only pans with a diameter that is suitable for the burner
being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the
pan base (see following table).
When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame
down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.
The hob is fitted with a pan reducing
support "R" , which should only be used
on the auxiliary burner "A"
ELECTRIC OVEN (mod. 9508...)
The maxi-oven gives four combinations of heating elements;
so the most suitable type of cooking for each dish may
therefore be chosen, with convincing results.
By turning the knob of the selector switch "H" marked with
the symbol , different cooking functions are obtained,
as shown in the following table:
After having selected the heat source, put the thermostat
knob "N" (marked with the symbol ) to the temperature
required.
For normal cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in conventional
mode use the function (hot above+below).
Only put the food to be cooked into the oven when it has
reached the selected temperature and preferably use just
one shelf for cooking.
To provide heat only to the bottom or the top part of the
dishes, turn the selector to the position (hot below) or
(hot above);
Grill operation: a high heat output is used for grilling, so
that the surface of the food is immediately browned; this
is particularly indicated for meats which should remain
tender inside.
To grill, turn the selector knob "H" to the position (grill),
During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to over
200 °C and keep the oven door closed.
