HOB OPERATION
The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and a
thermocouple safety device, which automatically cuts off the
gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally
goes out during operation.
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.
Each burner can be regulated with the corresonding control
knob "M" by using one of the following settings:
Off
High flame
Low flame
The symbols
near the knobs show the position of the
relative burner on the hob.
To ignite a burner, proceed as follows:
• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is
on the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully and activate the automatic gas
ignition by pushing at the same time the button "P" marked
with the symbol
;
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the
flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is
not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply putting
the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame
symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off
position " " .
Important:
• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than
15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas
duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues
to exit for a few moments before the safety device activates.
Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt
ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas
disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that the knobs
are in the off position " " . The main gas supply cut-off
cock should also be closed.
Using the burners:
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable
to only use pans with a diameter suitable for the burner being
used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the pan base
(see following table). When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable
to turn the flame down just enough to keep the liquid
simmering.
HOW TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Burner
Auxiliary A
Semi-rapid B
Rapid C
Triple ring D
The hob is fitted with reducing pan
stands (fig. 1), which should only be used
on auxiliary burner "A".
TIMER
Turn the timer knob with symbol
the marker to symbol
selector knob and set the desired temperature on the
thermostat knob. To turn the oven off, turn the timer knob
back to its initial position " " .
Operation with cooking time programming
Turn the timer knob clockwise, setting the marker to the desired
cooking time (from 10 to 120 minutes). Turn the oven on at
the selector knob and set the desired temperature on the
thermostat knob. Once the countdown is over, a buzzer will
sound, and will stop doing so after 1 minute or if you press
any button whatsoever.
Remember that the timer is deactivated when cooking starts
(be it immediate or programmed).
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the temperature of their exterior, some
models are fitted with a cooling fan that comes on when the
programme selector knob "H" is turned. In this case, the fan is
always on and a normal flow of air can be heard exiting be-
tween the oven door and the control panel.
Note: when cooking is done, the fan stays on, even if knob
"N" is set to "0", until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
In "Fast cooking" mode, the fan comes on automatically only
when the oven is hot.
Once you have removed the food from the oven, we recom-
mend you leave the oven door ajar for a few minutes: this will
drastically reduce the duration of the cooling cycle. The proc-
ess is controlled by an additional thermostat and can consist
of one or more cycles.
