SMEG TRU36GGX - Using the cooktop - 1

WARNING FIRE HAZARD

- For your safety: do not allow the burner flame to extend beyond the edge of the pan.

SMEG TRU36GGX - WARNING FIRE HAZARD - 1

- Turn off all controls when the range is not in use.

All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to

OFF and wait 60 seconds before

trying again.

After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation. Keep the knob pressed in longer.

SMEG TRU36GGX - WARNING FIRE HAZARD - 2

In case of an accidental turning off, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. Return the knob to OFF and wait at least 60 seconds before lighting it again.

Correct positioning of the flame spreaders and burner caps

Before lighting the cooktop burners, make sure that the flame spreaders are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes in the flame spreaders (1) are aligned with the igniters (2) and thermocouples (3).

SMEG TRU36GGX - Correct positioning of the flame spreaders and burner caps - 1

Practical tips for using the cooktop

For better burner efficiency and to minimize gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to a boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over.

SMEG TRU36GGX - Practical tips for using the cooktop - 1

Cookware diameters:

  • Auxiliary: 12 - 14 cm.
  • Semi-rapid: 16 - 24 cm.
  • Rapid: 18 - 26 cm.
  • Ultra-rapid: 18 - 28 cm.

Cookware

Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy thickness.

Rough cookware finishes may scratch the rangetop. Aluminum and copper may be used in cookware as a core material or base. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the rangetop or grates.

Cookware properties are a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, a non-stick finish on aluminum cookware will take on the properties of aluminum.

Refer to the following chart as a guide to the physical properties of cookware.

Aluminum

• Heats quickly and evenly.
- Suitable for all types of cooking.
- Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.

Cast iron

• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
- Maintains heat for slow cooking.

Ceramic or glass-ceramic

  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
    • Heats slowly but unevenly.
  • Best results with low to medium heat settings.

Copper

• Heats very quickly and evenly.

Earthenware

  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Use low heat settings.

Porcelain enameled steel or cast iron

• See stainless steel or cast iron.

Stainless steel

• Heats quickly but unevenly.
- Stainless steel cookware with aluminum or copper as a core material or bottom provides even heating.

SMEG TRU36GGX - Oven - 1

Oven + Convection

SMEG TRU36GGX - Oven + Convection - 1

In combination with the oven, the fan distributes the heat evenly. This function is perfect for slow cooking operations using a steady temperature.

SMEG TRU36GGX - Oven + Convection - 2

Broiler

SMEG TRU36GGX - Broiler - 1

The heat coming from the broiler gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where fitted) gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

SMEG TRU36GGX - Broiler - 2

Rapid defrost

Rapid defrost is helped by the activation of a fan to ensure uniform distribution of room temperature air inside the oven. Perfect for any type of food.

2.7 Cooking advice

General advice

  • Use a convection function to achieve consistent cooking at several levels.
  • It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).

Advice for cooking meat

  • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.
  • Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

Advice for cooking with the Broiler and the Convection broil

  • Meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven or into the preheated oven if you wish to change the effect of the cooking.
  • With the Convection broil function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
    • We recommend placing the food at the center of the rack.

  • Foods should be seasoned before cooking. Foods should also be coated with oil or melted butter before cooking.

  • Use the oven tray on the first bottom shelf to collect fluids produced by grilling.
  • Grilling processes should never last more than 60 minutes.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and cookies

  • Use dark metal baking pans/sheets: they help to absorb the heat better.
  • The temperature and the cooking time depend on the quality and consistency of the dough.
  • To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
  • If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, next time reduce the set temperature by about 10° C ( 50° F), selecting a longer cooking time if necessary.
  • While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking.

Advice for defrosting and proofing

  • Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven.
  • Avoid overlapping the food.
  • To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.
  • The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminum foil.
  • For successful proofing, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.

To save energy

  • Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven.
  • Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
  • Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.

  • Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).
  • Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
  • Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.
  • Do not wash the removable components such as the hob pan stands, flame spreaders and burner caps in a dishwasher.
  • Keeping appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
  • Not obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

3.2 Cleaning the appliance

To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces. Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfiber cloth.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cooktop grates

Remove the grates and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the cooktop.

SMEG TRU36GGX - Cooktop grates - 1

Continuous contact between the grates and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

Flame spreaders and burner caps

For easier cleaning, the flame spreaders and the burner caps can be removed. Wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Carefully remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry.

Minimum adjustment

For natural Gas:

Light the burner and turn the knob to the minimum position △. Remove the gas tap knob and turn the adjustment screw at the side of the tap rod until the desired minimum flame is achieved.

Refit the knob and verify that the burner flame is stable (when turning the knob rapidly from the maximum to the minimum position the flame must not go out).

Repeat this operation on the remaining gas taps on the cooktop.

For LP Gas:

Turn off the burners and unplug the appliance from the electrical power supply. For regulating the minimum with LP, the screws at the side of the tap rod must be turned clockwise all the way. Once the regulation has been completed, replace the seal on the by-passes using paint or similar materials. Follow the instructions given in point 9 to locate the adjustment screws.

Lubricating the surface burner gas valves

Over time, the surface burner gas valves may become stiff or jam. Clean them internally and relubricate. This operation must be carried out by a qualified technician.
