[. . . ] USING THE COOKING HOB 6. 1 General warnings and advice • • Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. • 6. 2 Lighting the hob burners • • • All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to “0” and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. 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 suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point “6. 4 Pan 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. • 40 • Instructions for the user 6. 4 Pan diameters • • Burner Auxiliary • min.

The glass could crack and break with the heat. • • 41 • Instructions for the user 7. 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 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. 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 oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected. 42 • Instructions for the user 7. 6 General warnings and advice for use • • • • • All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. [. . . ] Carefully screw the hose connector 3 to the appliance’s gas 1 connector 1 (½” thread ISO 228-1), placing the seal 2 between them. The hose connector 4 can also be screwed to the hose 2 connector 3, depending on the diameter of the gas hose used. After having tightened the hose connector(s), push the gas 5 hose 6 onto the hose connector and secure it with the clamp 5 •6 that is compliant with the applicable standard. 3 3 4 • 11. 5. 2Connection with a flexible steel hose • • • • • • WARNING: The following instructions are valid for all types of installation, see fig.
