Start-up and use
Using the hob
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
figure), 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.
Setting the time
Press the
PROGRAMMER knob
and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction
to set the correct time.
 The clock can only be set if the oven is connected
to the electricity mains. In case of a power failure,
the PROGRAMMER will stop: the correct time will
need to be reset once the power has returned.
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.
