[. . . ] Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for longer. If the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. 6. 3 Practical hints for using the hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph “6. 4 Cookware diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. 6. 4 Cookware diameters Burner Auxiliary Semi-rapid Rapid Ultra rapid min.

USING THE OVEN 7. 1 Before using the appliance • Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”. • • Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 7. 2 Oven runners The oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see figure). 7. 3 Storage compartment (on some models only) The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker. It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc. Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high. 7. 4 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts, with the exception of the gas burner where start-up is delayed. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off. 7. 5 Internal light The light inside the oven comes on when any function is selected, except when the bottom burner is being used, in which case the timer knob must be turned to symbol . 13 Instructions for the user 7. 6 General warnings and advice for use All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. 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. For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: keep it 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. To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking. While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. [. . . ] The appliance must be connected to the power supply by a qualified technician. Before performing any operations, switch off the power supply to the appliance. The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety regulations. Where the appliance is connected to the power grid via a plug and socket, both of these must be of the same type and connected to the power cable in accordance with the applicable regulations. Should the earthing wire need replacing it must be longer than the current conduction wires so that, if the plug is torn off the power cable, it is the last to be detached. Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and risk of burns. If a fixed connection is being used, fit the power line with an omnipolar circuit breaker with a contact opening gap equal to or greater than 3 mm, in an easily accessible position close to the appliance. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by nonobservance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance.
