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 control panel, 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 Rapid Double-ring Wok 12 ÷ 16 cm 16 ÷ 22 cm 20 ÷ 24 cm up to 30 cm max 36 cm do not use pans with concave or convex bases 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 CORRECT Fig. 4.
5 - Minute counter Minute counter The minute counter is a timed acoustic warning device which can be set for a maximum of 60 minutes. The knob (Fig. 5.1) must be rotated clockwise as far as the 60 minute position and then set to the required time by rotating it anticlockwise. 22 Fig. 5.
6 - How To Use the Gas oven Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away. General features The oven is furnished completely clean; it is advisable, however, upon first use, to turn the oven on to the maximum temperature (position ) to eliminate possible traces of grease from the oven burner. The same operation should be followed for grill burner.
Oven thermostat The oven thermostat (fig. 6.2) is marked with numbers, these correspond to the oven temperature, in addition the “OFF” position is shown by the symbol “●”. To choose the required oven temperature (check with the “Oven cooking temperatures”), turn the control knob until its line mark is level with the number required on the control panel (facia). Fig. 6.1 Fig. 6.2 A 24 Fig. 6.
Oven cooking Cooking examples 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. Temperatures and times are approximate as they vary depending on the quality and amount of food.
Ignition of the grill burner Do not grill with oven door closed. Always fit the heat shield supplied with the cooker under the front panel before commencing operations (Fig. 6.6). WARNING. The heat shield and the oven door reaches a very high temperature whilst in use. Keep children away and allow to cool before removing. The grill burner generates the infra-red rays for grilling. To light the grill burner operate as follow: 1) Open the oven door.
Notes: – The grill burner has only one setting, that is full-on – It is important that the heat shield is fitted the correct way up, as shown in the figure 6.6. Fig. 6.6 IMPORTANT WARNING For best results when using the grill, place the shelf on the second level and when using the grill pan handle avoid contact with the heat shield which will be HOT during use Oven light The cooker is equipped with a light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling the food that is cooking.
Rotisserie This is used for spit roasting under the grill and comprises: – an electric motor fitted to the rear of the oven – a stainless steel skewer provided with slide-out heatless handgrip and two sets of adjustable forks – a skewer support to be fitted in the middle runner. The rotisserie motor is operated by the knob illustrated in fig. 6.8. Fig. 6.8 Use of the rotisserie – Insert the tray into the lowest rack holder of the oven and insert the rod support into the intermediate rack holders.
7 - 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 lubrication of the gas taps must be done only by specialized personnel. – If a tap becomes stiff, do not force; contact your local Service Centre.
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 surfaces The stainless steel front panels on this cooker (facia, oven door, storage compartment) are protected by a finger-print proof lacquer.
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 cleaning or washing, check that burner-caps and burner-heads are dry before placing them in the respective housings. Special attention has to be paid in order not to exchange the housing of the small burners shown in fig. 7.1.
Fig. 7.2 Fig. 7.3 Oven door Storage compartment The internal glass panel can be easily removed for cleaning by unscrewing the 4 retaining screws (Fig. 7.2) The storage compartment is accessible through the pivoting panel (fig. 7.3). Do not store flammable material in the oven or in the storage compartment.
Assembly and dismantling of the side runner frames – Fit the side runner frames into the holes on the side walls inside the oven (Fig. 7.4). – Slide the tray and rack into the runners (Fig. 7.5). – To dismantle, operate in reverse order. Fig. 7.4 Oven floor The oven floor “F” (fig. 7.6) can be easily removed to facilitate cleaning. Remember to replace the floor correctly afterwards. Be careful not to confuse the tray “L” with the oven floor “F”. Fig. 7.5 L F Fig. 7.
Removing the oven door Fig. 7.7A The oven door can easily be removed as follows: – Open the door to the full extent (fig. 7.7A). – Attach the retaining rings to the hooks on the left and right hinges (fig. 7.7B). – Hold the door as shown in fig. 7.7. – Gently close the door and withdraw the lower hinge pins from their location (fig. 7.7C).
