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 - The electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs (★ symbol beside flame - max. heat/max. gas flow fig. 4.3).
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 18 correct Fig. 4.
5 - Ceramic griddle The griddle reaches the working temperature very quickly and can grill any food, without fat and oil, directly on the radiant zone's glass-ceramic surface. Operation of the radiant zone is controlled by a continuous 12-position power regulator. The signal lamp (above the control knob) lights up when the griddle is ON. Using the ceramic griddle for the first time – Remove the adhesive film which protects some parts.
Tips for grilling: – Preheat the radiant zone sufficiently to obtain quick and uniform cooking. – Do not pour water on the cooking surface when it is switched on or still hot. – If cooking very fatty foods, leave the griddle switched on for a few minutes after cooking is finished, to burn off the fatty residues. Advice for the safe use of ceramic griddle – Do not lean on the cooking zone when it is switched on. – Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the cooking zone when it is hot.
6 - Multifunction electric oven (right main oven) WARNING: The door is hot, use the handle. Operating principles Heating and cooking in the MULTIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways: a. by normal convection The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements. Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away General features As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view.

To set the temperature, it is necessary to make the knob indicator meet the chosen number. 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 function selector knob to position and the thermostat knob between 50°C and 225°C maximum and with the oven door closed. For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL” Before using the grill, preheat for about five minutes. Always grill with the oven door closed and do not use the grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. 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 for: To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.
Simultaneous cooking of different foods The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on position and gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavours. This is possible since the fats and vapours are oxidized while passing through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.
7 - Fan electric oven (bottom left oven) General features With your new Fan oven it is possible to cook a variety of food using the 2 different cooking functions. The 2 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 2 heating elements.
Operating principles Heating and cooking in the FAN oven are obtained in the following ways: a. by forced convection A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven muffle, which sends it through the circular heating element and then sends it back through the muffle. Before the hot air is sucked back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously. b.
Grilling The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Use with the function selector knob to position and the thermostat knob between 50°C and the 225°C position maximum and with the oven door closed. For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL” Before using the grill, preheat for about five minutes. Always grill with the oven door closed and do not use the grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Oven cooking Use of the grill Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature. Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat. Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed.
8 - Electric convection oven (top left oven) General features The convection oven is equipped with 3 electrical heating elements: – 2 elements (upper and lower) for normal oven cooking – 1 grill element, on the top of the oven, for grilling which must be done with the oven door closed.
