- check that the burner has ignited, keeping
the knob pressed down;
- after about 10 seconds, release the knob
and check that the burner remains on.
Otherwise, repeat the operation.
SAFETY DEVICE
Burners equipped with this device have the
advantage that they are protected if they ac-
cidentally go out. If this occurs, the supply of
gas to the burner concerned is automatically
cut off, preventing the hazards deriving from
a leak of unburnt gas. The gas supply must
be cut off within no more than 60 seconds
for the oven and grill burners.
IMPORTANT:
- Diffi culty in igniting burners is normal if the
cooker has been out of use for some time.
The air accumulated in the pipes will be
expelled in a few seconds;
- Never allow too much unburnt gas to fl ow
from the burners. If ignition is not achieved
within a relatively short time, repeat the
procedure after returning the knob to the
off position ( );
- when the oven and grill are lit for the fi rst
time, a smell may be noticed and smoke
may come out of the oven. This is because
of the surface treatment and oily residues
on the burners.
HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS
Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner
type. The fl ames must not project beyond the
base of the pan. Recommended sizes:
- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8 cm
using the adjusting grid supplied with the
cooker
- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least 14
cm
- for rapid and double fl ame burners = pan
of at least 22 cm.
N.B.: Never keep the knob at settings be-
tween the maximum fl ame symbol and the
off position ( ).
FOR COOKERS EQUIPPED WITH ELEC-
TRIC HOTPLATES
The different heat settings are obtained as
follows:
- 1 = minimum setting for all hotplates;
- 6 = maximum setting for normal and rapid
hotplates (with red disc);
- 0 = off.
Pans must never be smaller in diameter than
the hotplates and their bottoms must be as
fl at as possible (see fi g. 11).
IMPORTANT:
- Never leave hotplates on without pans,
except when fi rst used; leave for about 10
minutes to dry oil or moisture residues;
- if the hotplate is to be out of use for a long
time, apply a little grease to its painted
surface;
- do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate,
requiring the use of abrasive cleaners.
HOW TO USE THE GAS OVEN
- After igniting the burner, leave the oven to
heat up for about 10 minutes;
- place the food for cooking in an ordinary
oven dish and place it on the chrome-plated
shelf;
- place in the oven on the highest possible
runners, and turn the knob pointer to the
setting required;
- cooking can be observed through the
window in the door with the oven light on.
This will avoid opening and closing the door
frequently, unless oil or fat has to be added
to the dish.
N.B.: For cookers without thermostat:
- with the knob on the maximum setting =
270 degrees C
- with the knob on the minimum setting =
150 degrees C
- All other temperatures between 150 and
270 degrees C are obtained approximately
by positioning the knob between the maxi-
mum and minimum settings.
Never leave the knob in positions between
the maximum symbol and the off setting
( ).
