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 appliance is fitted with an
electronic lighting device* (
see
fi gure
), press the BURNER knob
and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the minimum
flame setting, until the burner
is lit. The burner may be
extinguished when the knob is
released. If this occurs, repeat
the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period
of time.
!
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 that have a lid and
a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the
size of the burner:
!
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.
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 avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
!
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
