Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the
flame for the relevant burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that it
is pointing to the maximum flame setting
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the BURNER
knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting , the
maximum setting
or any position in between the two.
! If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for
at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*, press and hold
the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight
and to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position
Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the
amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans which have a lid
and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

! Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob while it is being used.
! For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must be used only for
the auxiliary burner, when pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following in mind: All types
of pans can be used on the burners. The important thing is that the bottom
should be completely even.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic
lighting device* (see figure), press the
BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the minimum flame setting,
until the burner is lit. The burner might be
extinguished when the knob is released. If this
occurs, repeat the process, holding the knob
down for a longer period of time.

Using the oven
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door
closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven
door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the
enamel coating from being damaged.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT knob. See
the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking
temperatures (see Cooking Modes).

3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating
up to the temperature set.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the
enamel coating from being damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when
the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is
working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

This is switched on by selecting
lit when a cooking mode is selected.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows
a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate
until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
WARNING! The glass lid can break in if it
is heated up. Turn off all the burners and
the electric plates before closing the lid.
Applies to the models with glass cover only.
WARNING ! The oven is provided
with a stop system to extract the
racks and prevent them from coming
out of the oven (1).
As shown in the drawing, to extract
them completely, simply lift the racks,
holding them on the front part, and
pull (2).
