INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

HOB: GENERAL NOTES ON SAFETY
When a gas cooker is being used it produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. For this reason the room must be well ventilated, keeping the natural ventilation openings free and switching on the mechanical aeration system (suction hood or electric fan, see «VENTILATION and LOCATION AND AERATION» paragraph ) If the cooker is used for a long time additional aeration may be necessary, for instance, opening a window, or a more effective aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical system if there is one.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS
Automatic electric ignition of burners Push lightly the knob corresponding to the burner you wish to use and turn counterclockwise to the “Full on” position, then depress the control knob. Automatically the ignition spark shoots. Matches can be used to light the burners in a blackout.

Optimum use of the burners
To get the maximum yield with the minimum consumption of gas it is handy to keep the following points in mind:

Once the burner has been lit, adjust the flame according to your needs.
Use an appropriately sized pan for each burner (see the table below and fig. 4).
When the content of the pan start to boil, turn the knob down to “Reduced rate position” (small flame).
Always put a lid on the pan.
After using the appliance, ensure that all the controls are in the closed or off position.

SWITCHING THE HEATING ELEMENTS
The cooking zones are clearly visible on the hob, being circular. Only the inside of the circles traced on the glass is heated. The hob has a built-in warning light that switches on when the temperature in the cooking zone exceeds 60°C. This warning light will only switch off when the temperature in the cooking zone has gone below this value and it is for this reason it is called the “residual heat warning”.

The heating elements with a single coking zone, are controlled by energy regulators with 12 positions (A) that permit to obtain a big range of different temperatures.

The heating element with a double cooking zone, are controlled by 12-position energy regulators (B). By turning the knob from 1 to 12, the powers of the first zone of cooking “1” are regulated. By turning besides the number 12, a release it is warned that signals the insertion of the second zone of cooking “2” (fig. 5). In this position, both work the zone of cooking to the maximum power. By turning the knob counterclockwise to regulate its power. Only returning on the position “0” the second zone of cooking is disconnected. A red coloured warning light signals that the heating elements are on.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING CERAMIC GLASS HOBS

Ceramic glass is a natural product and, like any other material in ceramic, can have an uneven surface. You might even see some bubbles inside the ceramic glass itself: these will not influence cooking or the lifetime of the hob.
Illumination of the single cooking zones might differ. This depends on the technical characteristics of the heating elements. This has absolutely no effect on quality or operation.
According to how you look at it, the incandescent heating might appear to go over the edge of the cooking zone.
Do not put very hot pans on the outer edge of the hob. · Do not use pans with aluminum bottom.
Do not use the hob as a work top and take care not to let hard or sharp objects fall on it. The top could be damaged.
Do not put empty enameled pans on the heat. Both the bottom of the pan and the ceramic glass could be damaged.
Do not drag pans or other objects over the glass top which could get scratched.
Clean and dry the bottom of the pan before putting it on the hob. Salt, sugar or grains of sand, for example, that could be in greens, can scratch.
Clean off immediately any spilled liquid.
Do not cook or reheat food wrapped in tin foil or plastic containers. Both the tin foil and the plastic containers would melt, sticking to the hob.
N.B.: Using the glass scraper, push immediately away from the cooking zone, any pieces of tin foil or plastic objects that could have melted or stuck; likewise sugar or sugary food spilled over during cooking.

HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY (fig.6)

To get the maximum yield with the minimum consumption of electricity it is recommended to keep the following points in mind:

Switch the hob heating element on only after you have put the pan on the cooking zone
Thoroughly dry the bottom of the pan before putting it on the cooking zone .
Do not use pans with a diameter that is less than that of the cooking zone or plate. When you are buying saucepans keep in mind that the manufacturer usually gives the largest diameter of the pan which is normally bigger than the base diameter.
Use pans with flat, thick bottoms. Bottoms that are not flat will make cooking times longer.
Always put a lid on the pan.
If cooking time is longer than 40 minutes you can switch the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking time and make use of the residual heat.
For your information only, the table gives hints on how to use the cooking zones .

Possible cooking processes
To dissolve butter, chocolate, etc. To heat small amounts of liquid. To heat greater quantities of liquid. Thawing frozen food and preparing stews, boiling or simmering. Bringing foods to boiling point. For delicate roasts and fish. For roasts, chops and steaks. For large amounts of boiled meat. Bringing large amounts of water to the boil. Frying.

OVEN: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always grip the center of the oven door when opening. Do not practice excessive pressures on the door when it is open.
Do not worry if condensation forms on the door and on the internal walls of the oven during cooking. This does not compromise its efficiency.
When opening the oven door, be very careful of scalding vapors.
Use oven gloves to insert or remove containers from the oven.
Use containers that will resist the temperatures indicated on the thermostat knob.
For good results during cooking, we strongly recommend not to cover the base of the oven or the grill with aluminum foil or other materials.
When grilling always put a little water in the grill pan. The water prevents the grease from burning and from giving off bad smells and smoke. Add more water during grilling to compensate for evaporation.
After using the appliance ensure that all the controls are in the off position.

HOW TO USE THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN RIGHT OVEN CAVITY

TRADITIONAL COOKING
Turn the commutator/thermostat knob on the temperature required. If pre-heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow warning light turns off before placing foods inside the oven. Both the bottom and top heating elements are turned on, distributing heat to the food from the top and bottom. This type of baking is ideal for all types of food (meat, fish, bread, pizza, cakes..).

GRILL COOKING
Turn the commutator/thermostat knob on the symbol. The top heating element is turned on and it distributes heat directly onto the food. Besides grilling, it can be used to obtain a golden finish onto cooked foods or to toast your bread slices. The grill function automatically activates the eventual spit (if present). When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath the spit to collect any sauce dripping, as suggested in the “COOKING TIPS ” section.

HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN RIGHT OVEN CAVITY

DEFROSTING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
Turn the selector knob to the symbol and place the food you want to defrost inside the oven. The length of time required depends on the quantity and type of food. Selecting this function will only activate the fan. Mild air circulation around frozen food will slowly defrost it. It is particularly suitable for fruit and cakes.

FAN GRILL COOKING
Turn the selector knob to the symbol and set the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Selecting this function the top central heating element turns on and heat is distributed by the fan. This procedure mitigates the direct heat on food surface and uses milder temperatures. It is therefore recommended for an even golden and crispy finish touch, ideal for whole fish and poultry. When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath it to collect any sauce dripping, as suggested in the “USEFUL COOKING TIPS ” section.

TRADITIONAL COOKING
Turn the selector knob to the symbol and adjust the thermostat knob to suit the desired temperature. If pre-heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow led turns off before placing foods inside the oven. This option turns on both bottom and top heating units, evenly distributing heat on your foods. This type of cooking is ideal for all kind of foods (meats, fish, bread, pizzas, cakes..).

COMBINED TRADITIONAL + FAN COOKING
Turn the selector knob to the symbol and adjust the thermostat knob to suit the desired temperature. If pre-heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow led turns off before placing foods inside the oven. This option turns on both bottom and top heating units, and heat is distributed by fan ventilation. This combination is suitable for rapid cooking and allows for the use of more plates positioned on the different levels of the oven.

CONVETIONAL GRILL COOKING
Turn the selector knob to the symbol and set the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Selecting this function the top central heating element turns on and heat is distributed directly on food surface. Apart from grilling, this function is ideal to add a golden roast to your recipes or to toast bread slices. The grill function automatically activates the eventual spit. When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath it to collect any sauce dripping, as suggested in the “USEFUL COOKING TIPS ” section.

HOW TO USE THE SPIT (only certain versions)

Place the chicken or piece of meat to roast firmly between the two forks on the spit and make sure it is evenly balanced to prevent straining the motor.
Fix the spit holder into its hold on the appropriate level, now place the spit onto its hold and push its end (A) into place in the engine (E).
Always use the drip pan to catch the gravy, as indicated in the paragraph “USEFUL COOKING TIPS”.
Electric grill: positioning the selector knob on the symbol and set the eventual thermostat knob to the desired temperature. When the grill turns on so will the spit motor.
Always keep the oven door closed during electric grilling.

USEFUL COOKING TIPS
Cakes and bread:

Heat the oven for at least 15 minutes before you start cooking bread or cakes.
Do not open the door during baking because the cold air would stop the yeast from rising.
When the cake is cooked turn the oven off and leave it in for about 10 minutes.
Do not use the enameled oven tray or drip pan, supplied with the oven, to cook cakes in.
How do you know when the cake is cooked? About 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, put a cake tester or skewer in the highest part of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked.
And if the cake sinks? The next time use less liquids or lower the temperature 10°C.
If the cake is too dry: Make some tiny holes with a toothpick and pour some drops of fruit juice or spirits on it. The next time, increase the temperature 10°C and set a shorter cooking time.
If the cake is too dark on top: the next time put the cake on a lower shelf, cook it at a lower temperature and longer.
If the top of the cake is burnt: cut off the burnt layer and cover with sugar or decorate it with cream, jam, confectioner’s cream, etc..
If the cake is too dark underneath: the next time place it on a higher shelf and cook it at a lower temperature.
If the cake or bread is cooked nicely outside but is still uncooked inside: the next time use less liquids, cook at a lower temperature and longer.
If the cake will not come out of the tin: slide a knife around the edges, place a damp cloth over the cake and turn the tin upside down. The next time grease the tin well and sprinkle it with flour or bread crumbs.
If the biscuits will not come away from the baking tray: put the tray back in the oven for a while and lift the biscuits up before they cool. The next time use a sheet of baking parchment to prevent this happening again.

Meat:

If, when cooking meat, the time needed is more than 40 minutes, turn the oven off 10 minutes before the end of cooking time to exploit the residual heat (energy saving).
Your roast will be juicier if cooked in a closed pan; it will be crispier if cooked without a lid.
Normally white meat, poultry and fish need medium temperatures (less than 200°C).
To cook “rare” red meats, high temperatures (over 200°C) and short cooking times are needed.
For a tasty roast, lard and spice the meat.
If your roast is tough: the next time leave the meat to ripen longer.
If your roast is too dark on top or underneath: the next time put it on a higher or lower shelf, lower the temperature and cook longer.
Your roast is underdone? Cut it in slices, arrange the slices on a baking tray with the gravy and finish cooking it.

Grilling:

Sparingly grease and flavor the food before grilling it.
Always use the grill pan to catch the juices that drip from the meat during grilling.
Always put a little water in the drip pan. The water prevents the grease from burning and from giving off bad smells and smoke. Add more water during cooking because it evaporates.
Turn the food half way through cooking.
If you are grilling fatty poultry (goose) pierce the skin so the fat can drip away.

The aluminum can be easily corroded if it comes into contact with organic acids present in the foods or added during baking (vinegar, lemon juice). Therefore it is advised not to put directly the foods on aluminum or enameled trays, but ALWAYS use the proper oven paper.

If you are cooking with a fan oven and you are using more than one shelf (placing the shelves on the 2nd and 4th position or on the 1st and and 3rd position) cooking time will be about 5 to 10 minutes longer.

GRILLING TIMETABLE

The values given in the tables (temperatures and cooking times) are approximate and may vary according to each person’s cooking habits. In particular, temperatures and times for grilling meat will greatly depend on the thickness of the meat and on personal tastes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To keep the surface of the hob and the various components in pristine condition (grill, enameled covers, burner heads and flame diffusers, it is very important to wash them in warm soapy water, rinse and dry them well after each use. Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water or the juice of lemon or tomato on enameled surfaces for any length of time.

WARNINGS

Check that the heads burners and the relative burner caps, are correctly positioned in their housings (fig. 7).
Take care not to disturb the ignition spark plugs or flame failure devices.
If you find a tap is difficult to open or close do not force it but call for technical assistance urgently.

STRUCTURE All the cooker parts (in enameled or painted metal, steel, or glass) should be cleaned frequently with warm soapy water and then rinsed and dried with a soft cloth.

CERAMIC GLASS HOB
It is very important to clean the top each time it is used and while the glass is still warm, drying it with a soft cloth. Do not use metal pads, abrasive powders or corrosive spray products for cleaning. Depending on the degree of dirt, we recommend:

For slight stains a damp sponge is enough
The scraper must be used for more stubborn dirt (fig. 8). Use it carefully because it is easy to cut yourself. To avoid any such possibility, scrape away immediately from the cooking zone any tin foil sheets or plastic objects that could have melted or stuck, likewise sugar or sugary food spilled over during cooking.
Remove any traces of spilled liquid with vinegar or lemon. Immediately remove any vinegar or lemon from the enameled outer edge otherwise it will become opaque.
Over time it is possible that colorings, metal reflections or scratches appear (fig. 9) caused by inefficient cleaning or by the incorrect movement of the pans. These scratches are difficult to eliminate but they will not prejudice how your hob works.

OVEN CAVITY
The oven cavity should be cleaned after each use to remove cooking residuals and or grease or sugar which, if burnt on when the oven is used again, will form deposits or unremovable stains as well as unpleasant smells. To maintain the shine of the enameled parts, clean them with warm soapy water, rinse and dry them thoroughly. ALWAYS wash the accessories used.

OVEN SEAL
The oven seal guarantees the correct functioning of the oven. We recommend you:

clean it, avoiding abrasive tools or products.
check its state now and then.

If the oven door seal has become hard or is damaged, contact our Service Centre and avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

OVEN SIDEWALL GRIDS (fig. 10)
To allow for a better cleaning of the side grids, you can extract them this way:

Push with a finger on the last of the slots to release the grid from its hold.
Lift it towards the top and extract the grid. To put them back into place, reverse the order of this operation.

REPLACING THE OVEN LAMP (fig. 11-12)
Ensure the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock..

IN the event one or both oven lamps need replacing, the new lamps must comply with the following requisites: 15 W – 230 V~ – 50 Hz – E 14 – and must be resistant to high temperature (300°C). The appliance can have two different types of lamp holder:

Lamp holder type 1 (fig. 11): Draw out the side guide rails as described above. Then, remove the glass protection cap (V) from the bulb socket, lifting it with a screwdriver placed between the cap and the oven wall and replace the lamp (L). Fit the accessories back in reverse order.
Lamp holder type 2 (fig. 12): Turn glass protection cap (C) counterclockwise and change the lamp. Re-fit the cap, screwing it back in a clockwise direction.

HOW TO CLEAN THE INNER OVEN DOOR GLASS
One of the features of our cookers is that the inner oven door glass can be easily removed for cleaning without the aid of specialized personnel. Just open the oven door and remove the support securing the glass (fig. 13).

ATTENTION!! This operation can be done also with the door fitted on appliance, but in this way, pay attention that when the glass is pull upwards, the force of the hinges can close the door roughly.
