the burner with a match and call the after-
sales service.
IMPORTANT
- Difficulty in igniting burners is normal if the
cooker has been out of use for some time.
The air accumulated in the pipes will be
expelled in a few seconds;
- Never allow too much unburnt gas to flow
from the burners. If ignition is not achieved
within a relatively short time, repeat the pro-
cedure after returning the knob to the off
position ( );
- when the oven and grill are lit for the first
time, a smell may be noticed and smoke
may come out of the oven. This is because
of the surface treatment and oily residues
on the burners.
HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS
Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner
type. The flames must not project beyond
the base of the pan. Recommended sizes:
- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8 cm
- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least 14 cm
- for rapid burners = pans of at least 22 cm.
N.B.: Never keep the knob at settings be-
tween the maximum flame symbol
and the
off position
( ).
FOR COOKERS EQUIPPED WITH ELEC-
TRIC HOTPLATES
The different heat settings are obtained as
follows:
- 1 = minimum setting for all hotplates;
- 6 = maximum setting for normal and rapid
hotplates (with red disc);
- 0 = off.
Pans must never be smaller in diameter than
the hotplates and their bottoms must be as
flat as possible (see fig. 9).
IMPORTANT:
- Never leave hotplates on without pans,
except when first used; leave for about 10
minutes to dry oil or moisture residues;
- if the hotplate is to be out of use for a long time,
apply a little grease to its painted surface;
- do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate,
requiring the use of abrasive cleaners.
HOW TO USE THE GAS OVEN
- After igniting the burner, leave the oven to
heat up for about 10 minutes;
- place the food for cooking in an ordinary oven
dish and place it on the chrome-plated shelf;
- place the food in the oven, using the shelf
on the third pair of runners whenever pos-
sible, and turn the knob pointer to the de-
sired setting;
- cooking can be observed through the win-
dow in the door with the oven light on. This
will avoid opening and closing the door fre-
quently, unless oil or fat has to be added to
the dish.

IMPORTANT: never place foods directly on
the drip tray for cooking; it is there only to
collect any drips of fat during grilling.
N.B.: For cookers without thermostat:
- with the knob on the maximum setting
=
270 degrees C
- with the knob on the minimum setting
=
150 degrees C
- All other temperatures between 150 and
270 degrees C are obtained approximately
by positioning the knob between the maxi-
mum and minimum settings.
Never leave the knob in positions between
the maximum symbol
and the off setting
(
).
HOW TO USE THE GAS OR ELECTRIC
GRILL
- fit the knob guard (see fig. 10);
- ignite the burner and wait a few minutes to
