How To Use the Hob Burners Hob burners Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas tap operated by a control knob (fig. 4.3) which has 3 positions marked on the knob, these are: – Symbol ● : tap closed (burner off) – Symbol : High (maximum) – Symbol : Low (minimum) Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the selected position. Low High Fig. 4.3 To turn the burner off, fully rotate the knob clockwise to the off position: ●.
Choice of burner The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required. Burners Pan diameter Auxiliary Semi-rapid Double-ring Wok 12 ÷ 16 cm 16 ÷ 22 cm up to 30 cm max 36 cm Fig. 4.4 Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip. Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
CORRECT USE OF DOUBLE-RING BURNER The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support. When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any faulty operation of the double-ring burner. WRONG Fig. 4.5 18 CORRECT Fig. 4.
6 - How To Use the Multi-function oven Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away. As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view. In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different programs to satisfy every cooking need.
THERMOSTAT KNOB To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set the switch knob on the desired program and the thermostat knob onto the desired temperature. To set the temperature, it is necessary to make the knob lever meet the chosen number. The elements will turn on or off automatically according to the energy need which is determined by the thermostat. The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light on the control panel. Light on equal heating.
GRILLING The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Set the thermostat knob to between 50° and 200°C. Always grill with the oven door closed. Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away. HOT AIR COOKING The circular element and the fan are on.
MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE AFTER COOKING OR SLOWLY HEATING FOODS The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most heat being produced by the upper element. The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob. RECOMMENDED USE: To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.
GRILLING AND “AU GRATIN” Set the switch to position . Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the shelf. Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on, until grilling is complete. Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect. Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

7 - Electronic programmer The electronic programmer is a device which groups together the following functions: ■ 24 hours clock with illuminated display ■ Timer (up to 23 hours and 59 minutes) ■ Program for automatic oven cooking ■ Program for semi-automatic oven cooking.
ELECTRONIC CLOCK (fig. 7.2) ELECTRONIC TIMER The programmer is equipped with an electronic clock with lighted numbers which indicates hours and minutes. Upon immediate connection of the oven or after a power cut, three zeros will flash on the programmer panel. To set the hour it is necessary to push the button and then the or button until you have set the exact hour (fig. 7.2). Another way is to simultaneously push the two buttons and at the same time push the or button.
AUTOMATIC OVEN COOKING To cook food automatically in the oven, it is necessary to: 1. Set the length of the cooking time 2. Set the end of the cooking time 3. Set the temperature and the oven cooking program. These operations are done in the following way: 1. Set the length of the cooking time by pushing the button and the button to advance, or to go back if you have passed the desired time (fig. 7.5). The AUTO and the symbol will be on. 2.
SEMI - AUTOMATIC COOKING This function is only used to set the END of the cooking time of the oven. There are two ways of setting this function. 1. Set the length of the cooking time by pushing the button and the button to advance, or to go backwards (Fig. 7.7). This sets the desired “stop” time. At the end of the cooking, the symbol will turn off, the AUTO will flash and a buzzer will sound. The buzzer can be cancelled by pressing any of the buttons.
8 - Cleaning and Maintenance GENERAL ADVICE – When the appliance is not being used, it is advisable to keep the gas tap closed. – Every now and then check to make sure that the flexible tube that connects the gas line or the gas cylinder to the appliance is in perfect condition and eventually substitute it if it shows signs of wearing or damage. – The periodical lubrification of the gas taps must be done only by specialized personnel.
CLEANING All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water or other nonabrasive products. Dry preferably with a soft cloth. Acidic substances like lemon juice, tomato sauce, vinegar etc. can damage the enamel if left too long. STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINIUM PARTS AND SILK-SCREEN PRINTED SURFACES Clean using an appropriate product. Always dry thoroughly. IMPORTANT: these parts must be cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching and abrasion.
INSIDE OF OVEN This must be cleaned regularly. Remove and refit the side runner frames as described on the next chapter. With the oven warm, wipe the inside walls with a cloth soaked in very hot soapy water or another suitable product. Side runner frames, tray and rack can be removed and washed. Fig. 8.4 USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Slide off the wire racks to the oven wall as in Fig. 8.4.
BURNERS They can be removed and washed only with soapy water. Detergents can be used but must not be abrasive or corrosive. Do not use abrasive sponges or pads. Do not put in dishwasher. After each cleaning, make sure that the burner-caps, as well as the burners, have been well wiped off and CORRECTLY POSITIONED. It is essential to check the correct position of the burner-caps as the least displacement from the housing may cause serious problems.
