3 - USE OF COOKING HOB

GAS BURNERS

Each burner is controlled by a gas tap assuring the opening and the closing of the gas supply.

Make the symbols printed on the knob to match with the indicator on the control panel or the knob indicator with the symbols printed on the control panel), to obtain:

• symbol ● = off
• symbol ★ or ⚙ = full on (nominal rate)

- symbol or = reduced rate

To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point the lever towards the small flame symbol.

The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids (simmering).

Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the lever between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and off positions.

N.B. When the cooker is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

Caution!

the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE

To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

1) Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise (fig. 3.2a - 3.2b) to the full flame position marked by the ⚙ or ⚙ symbol (Fig. 3.1a - 3.1b) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

2) Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay);

3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed ● position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

Fig. 3.2b

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near every knob, there is a diagram that indicates which burner is controlled by that knob.

The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the capacity used.

As an indication, the burners and the pots must be used in the following way:

BURNERS POT DIAMETER

Auxiliary 12 - 14 cm

Semi-rapid 16 - 24 cm

Rapid 24 - 24 cm

Triple-ring 26 - 28 cm

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste.

A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.

4 - MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRIC OVEN

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view.

In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different programs to satisfy every cooking need. The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements which are:

• Bottom element 1725 W
• Top element 1725 W
• Grill element 2500 W
  – Circular element 2500 W
• Fan motor 25 W
• Oven lamp 15 W

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven for 30 minutes in the position and for another 30 minutes at the maximum temperature (thermostat knob on position 225) in the positions and, to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating elements.

Clean the oven and accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:

a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by forced convection

A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven muffle, which sends it through the circular heating element and then sends it back through the muffle. Before the hot air is sucked back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.

c. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

d. by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

The irradiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

THERMOSTAT KNOB (Fig. 4.2a - 4.2b)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set the switch knob on the desired program and the thermostat knob onto the desired temperature.

To set the temperature, it is necessary to make the knob indicator meet the chosen number.

The elements will turn ON or OFF automatically according to the energy need which is determined by the thermostat.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (Fig. 4.1a - 4.1b)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions:

Fig. 4.1b Fig. 4.2b

OVEN LIGHT

By turning the knob onto this setting we light the oven cavity (15 W).

The oven remains alight while any of the functions is on.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50^ C and 225^ C with the thermostat knob.

It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.

Recommended for:

For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i.e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.

GRILLING

The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.

Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob to between 50^ and 225^ C for max 15 minutes, then to position 175^ C .

Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

For correct use see chapter "USE OF THE GRILL"

Recommended for:

Intense grilling action for cooking with a broiler; browning, crisping, "au gratin", toasting, etc.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the thermostat knob on “●” because the other positions have no effect. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat.

Recommended for:

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 1 kilogram requires about one hour.

The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.

HOT AIR COOKING

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50^ and 225^ C with the thermostat knob. It is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Recommended for:

For foods that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside, i. e. lasagna, lamb, roast beef, whole fish, etc.

VENTILATED GRILL COOKING

The infra-red ray grill and the fan are on. The heat is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the oven. The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 175 °C for max 30 minutes, with the thermostat knob. It is necessary to preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Use with the oven door closed.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

For correct use see chapter "GRILLING AND "AU GRATIN".

Recommended for:

For grill cooking when a fast outside browning is necessary to keep the juices in, i. e. veal steak, steak, hamburger, etc.

THAWING AND WARMING UP

The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most heat being produced by the upper element.

The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 140 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

To keep foods hot after cooking. To slowly heat already cooked foods.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan turn on.

The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.

The temperature must be regulated between 50° and 225 °C with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking; for ie: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the following way:

a. Set the switch to position ☑
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off the oven and let cool.

REGENERATION

Set the switch to position and the thermostat knob to position 150°C. Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.

ROASTING

To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:

• that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200^ .
  – that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.

SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS

The MULTI-FUNCTION oven set on position ✕ and ✗ gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and flavours.

This is possible since the fats and vapours are oxidized while passing through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.

The only precautions to follow are:

• The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with a maximum difference of 20^ - 25^ .
• The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in relation to the cooking times of each one.

The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.

OVEN COOKING

Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.

Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat.

COOKING EXAMPLES

Temperatures and times are approximate as they vary depending on the quality and amount of food.

Remember to use ovenproof dishes and to adjust the oven temperature during cooking if necessary.

GRILLING AND "AU GRATIN"

Set the switch to position ☒.

Set the thermostat to position 175 °C and after having preheated the oven, simply place the food on the shelf.

Close the door and let the oven operate with the thermostat on, until grilling is complete.

Adding a few dabs of butter before the end of the cooking time gives the golden “au gratin” effect.

Note: It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

ATTENTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

USE OF THE GRILL

Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible.

The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Grilling with the oven door closed.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.

CAUTION: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

To cook food automatically in the oven, it is necessary to:

1. Set the length of the cooking time
2. Set the end of the cooking time
3. Set the temperature and the oven cooking program.

These operations are done in the following way:

1. Set the length of time you need to cook the food by pushing the button and the button to advance, or

2. to go back if you have passed the desired time (fig. 5.5). The AUTO and the symbol will be on.

3. Set the time you need the food to stop cooking by pushing the button (the cooking time already added to the clock time will appear), and the + button (fig. 5.6); if you pass the desired time you can go back by pushing the button.

After this setting, the symbol will go off. If after this setting, the AUTO flashes on the panel and a buzzer goes off, it means there was an error in the programming, that is the the cooking cycle has been superimposed on the clock. In this case, change the end of cooking time or the cooking time itself by following the instructions above.

1. Set the temperature and the cooking program (see the relevant sections).

Once the oven is programmed it will switch on automatically at the right time to stop the cooking at the desired end time.

During cooking, the symbol remains on.

By pushing the button you can see the time that remains until the end of cooking.

The cooking program may be cancelled at any time by pushing.

At the end of the cooking time the oven will turn off automatically, the symbol will turn off, AUTO will flash and the buzzer will sound, which can be turned off by pushing any of the buttons.

Turn the switch and temperature knobs to "OFF" and put the programmer onto "manual" by pressing the button.

Attention: A powercut will make the clock go to zero and will cancel the set programs.

After a powercut, three zeros will flash on the panel.

This is used to switch the oven off automatically after the desired cooking time has elapsed.

There are two ways to set the semi-automatic cooking function:

1. Set the length of time you need to cook the food by pushing the button and the button to advance, or — to go backwards (Fig. 5.7). This sets the desired "stop" time.

or

1. Set the time you need the food to stop cooking by pushing the button and the button to advance, or to go backwards if you have passed the desired time (Fig. 5.8).
