6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB 
 
6.1  Lighting of the cooking hob burners 
  
  
 Before lighting the hob burners check  that the flame caps are in the 
correct position and that their burner caps are in place, making sure that 
the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the spark plugs and 
thermocouples. 
Grid  B should be used with Chinese woks.   
 
  
  Each knob corresponds to the burner 
indicated. The appliance is equipped with 
an electric lighting device. To light the 
burners, press and turn the knob 
anticlockwise to the large flame symbol 
 
/ 
 .    
  Keep the knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat
up. 
If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the
thermocouple isn’t hot enough. Repeat ignition and keep the knob
pressed longer. 
Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as
required. 
Always check that the control knobs are in the position      (off) when you
finish using the hob.  
  
 
 If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20 
seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).

6.2  Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners 
 
For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered 
containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame 
from licking the sides (see paragraph “6.3 Diameter of containers). 
When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t 
overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle 
plates must be placed within the per imeter of the cooking hob. All 
containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or 
oils, be extremely careful that they don’t overheat and catch fire.  
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at 
least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

7.  USE OF THE OVEN   
 
 Before using the oven make sure that the the analog programmer shows 
the  symbol (see paragraph 5.2.5 Manual cooking). 
In models equipped with analogue digital timer, the user has only to 
press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first 
use or after a power blackout.   
7.1  Warnings and general advice 
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum 
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily 
residues which could give the food a bad taste.  
  
  
 To prevent any steam in the oven creating 
problems, open the door in two stages: half open 
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully 
open. To access food, always leave the door 
open as short a time as possible to prevent the 
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining 
the food. 
 
7.2  Oven Light 
It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.  
7.3  Storage drawer 
The storage drawer is at the bottom of the 
cooker, underneath the oven.  For access, 
pull the bottom of the door. 
Never store inflammable materials such as 
rags, paper or the like. The compartment is 
intended only for holding the metal 
accessories of the range. 
 
 
 Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot.  The 
temperature inside may be very high.
