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.
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).
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks
These models can be
identified by the presence of
the device itself (see detail X).
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.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we
recommend 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 during this initial use is due to the
evaporation of substances used to protect the oven
during storage and until it is installed.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when
using the grill to cook. 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.
Start-up and use
The oven knobs
With these two controls you can select the different
functions of the oven and choose the cooking
temperature suitable for the food you are preparing.
The different cooking functions are set up by operating
the two knobs:
the selection knob
the thermostat knob in the oven panel.
For any selection-knob setting different from idle,
identified by the “0”, the oven light turns on; the knob
setting marked

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.
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”.
Practical advice for burner use
In order to get the maximum yield it is important to
remember the following:
· Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so as to avoid flames overshooting the edges.
· At boiling point turn the knob to minimum.
· Use cookware with lids.
· Always use cookware with flat bottoms.
