Instructions for use
The various features of cooker are controlled through the knobs
and buttons located on the control panel.
HOB
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)
The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the
knobs is shown by a solid ring
•
. To light one of the burners, hold
a lighted match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time,
press down and turn the corresponding knob counter clockwise
to the maximum setting . Each burner can be operated at its
maximum, minimum or intermediate power. Shown on the knob
are the different symbols for off
•
(the knob is on this setting
when the symbol corresponds with the reference mark on the
control panel), for maximum and minimum .
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter clockwise with
respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the knob
clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the
•
symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Cooktop
To light a specific burner push the corresponding knob all the
way in and turn it counter-clockwise to maximum keeping it
pressed down until the burner lights.
Warning: Should the burner flames accidentally go out, turn
off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying
to re-light.
Models with Flame Failure Device
These models are identified by the presence of a flame detec-
tion device (see detail H).
Important: since the top burners are equipped with a safety
device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for
about 3 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety ther-
mocouple is heated.
OVEN:
The
7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of traditional
convection ovens with those of the more modern fan as-
sisted models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose
easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The
various features offered by the oven are selected by means
of selector knob “L” situated on the control panel.
Warning: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and
leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it,
with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the
room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial
use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect
the oven during storage and until it is installed.
“Demo Mode” disabled
If the message “DEMO ON” appears on the display, place
the knob “L” in the 0 position and then press keys “1” to “6”
in sequence to bring the kitchen back into operating mode.
Setting the digital clock
The time can only be set on the clock when knob “L” is in
position 0.
After connecting to the electricity mains or after a power fail-
ure, update the time by holding down key “2” until the time
appears on the display again and then adjust using the keys
s
and/or

Practical advice on using the burners
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following in
mind:
• use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so
that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the
cookware;
• only flat bottom cookware should be used;
• at the boiling point, turn the knob to minimum;
• always use a lid with the cookware.
