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. 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. Fig. 4.4 Burners Pan diameter Auxiliary Semi-rapid Rapid Triple-ring Wok 12 ÷ 14 cm 16 ÷ 24 cm 24 ÷ 26 cm 26 ÷ 28 cm max 36 cm do not use pans with concave or convex bases 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 triple-ring burner The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support. To use the WOK you need to place the proper stand in order to avoid any faulty operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 4.5a - 4.5b). IMPORTANT: The special grille for wok pans (fig. 4.5b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the panrest for the triple-ring burner. wrong Fig. 4.5a 20 correct Fig. 4.
5 - Electronic programmer (left main oven only) 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. 5.2) 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. 5.2). 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. 5.5). 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. 5.7). 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.
6 - How To Use the Multi-function main 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 (fig. 6.1) 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 chosen number, printed on the knob, to match with the indicator on the control panel. The elements will turn on or off automatically according to the energy need which is determined by the thermostat.
Grilling The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to between 50° and 225°C for max 15 minutes, then to position 175°C. 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. For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
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 for: To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.
Grilling and “au gratin” Use of the grill 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. Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.
7 - How To Use the Conventional oven General features OPERATING PRINCIPLES As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view. The conventional oven is provided with 3 heating elements which are: Heating and cooking in the CONVENTIONAL oven are obtained in the following ways: a. by natural convection The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements. b. by radiation The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.
Function selector knob (fig. 7.1) Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions. Oven light By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W). It remains on in all the cooking modes. USE OF THE GRILL Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes. Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible. The drip pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats. Grill with the oven door closed.
