4. FINAL OPERATIONS

After replacing the nozzles, reposition the flame-spreader crowns, the burner caps and the grids.

Following adjustment to a gas other than the preset one, replace the gas adjustment label fixed to the appliance with the one corresponding to the new gas. This label is in the packet together with the nozzles.

4.1 Regulation of the hob burner minimum level for natural gas

Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position. Extract the gas tap knob and turn the adjustment screw at the side of the tap rod until the correct minimum flame is achieved.

Replace the knob and check burner flame stability: (rapidly turning the knob from maximum to minimum position, the flame should not go out).

Repeat the operation on all the gas taps.

For models with valves, keep the knob at minimum level for about 1 minute to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety device.

4.2 Regulation of the hob burner minimum level for LPG

In order to adjust the minimum with LPG, the screw at the side of the tap rod must be turned clockwise all the way.

The bypass diameters for each individual burner are shown in paragraph "3.2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table". Once the regulation has been completed, restore the seal on the by-passes using paint or similar materials.

6. USE OF THE HOB

6.1 Lighting of the 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.

The optional grid B is for use with "woks" (Chinese pans).

To prevent deterioration of the hob, we have equipped the cooker with a raised pan stand C to be placed underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.

The supplied reduction rest C is used also for small pans.

The drawing next to each knob shows the corresponding burner. The appliance has an electronic lighting device. Simply press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol Δ, until the flame is lit. Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouples to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this is because the thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the operation holding down the knob a little longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without thermocouples.

For models with thermocouples, should the burner accidentally go out, a safety device will be activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap is open.

6.2 Practical advice for using the hob burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered vessels that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "6.3 Diameter of the vessels to be used on each burner"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all vessels or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the hob. All vessels must 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

For the models with electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that the display shows the symbol .

7.1 Warnings and general advice

Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food.

After a power cut, the oven display will flash intermittently and show 0:00. To adjust refer to paragraph "8. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER".

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

To prevent problems caused by steam in the oven, 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 Use of the electric grill

For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat, select the static grill function; set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob. The ventilated grill function allows actual cooking to be done, thanks to the forced ventilation which lets heat penetrate inside the food. For this type of cooking select the ventilated grill function, set the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature (never more than 200°C ) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob. Cooking time must not exceed 60 minutes.

7.2.1 Operation of the grill + rotisserie

Both the static and the fan grill functions can be used for cooking in combination with the rotisserie. Fit the spit rod into the rotisserie bushing, select the or fan grill function and set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob as shown in the figure.

Cooking procedures with grill and rotisserie must never last more than 60 minutes.

All cooking procedures with grill + rotisserie must be carried out with the door closed to prevent the knobs and front panel of the appliance from overheating.

7.2.2 Using the rotisserie in cookers with maxi oven

Fit the supporting frame onto the second runner up from the bottom so that the seat to take the rod projects outside the oven. Place the rod as shown in the diagram (1) and push the frame into the oven until the end of the rod reaches the hole in the rotisserie motor. Now push the rotisserie rod to the left until it reaches the position shown in the diagram (2). To activate this function, turn the knob to (W/X).

These operations must be carried out with the oven switched off and cold.

When cooking is over, use the tool provided to extract the rod from the hole (3) and remove the frame (4) to bring the rotisserie rod out of the oven cavity.

How to use the grill

Food should be flavoured and basted with oil or melted butter before cooking. An oven dish should be used to contain the sauces. The food should be placed on the oven shelf which is positioned on one of the guides supplied with the different ovens, following the instructions below:

FOOD	GRILLE ON THE SHELF
Flat or thin meat	3
Rolled roast joints	2-3
Poultry	2-3

WARNING

• The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which conform to the standing directives.
• During and after use the accessible parts of the oven may be very hot, and children must always be kept at a distance.

7.3 Storage compartment

A storage compartment, accessible by pulling on the top edge of the door, is located beneath the oven.

Never store inflammable materials such as rags, paper or the like. The compartment is intended only for holding the metal accessories of the range.
