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 might be 

extinguished when the knob is released. If this 

occurs, repeat the process, 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 which have a lid 

and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

!

 Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob while it is being used.

!

 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.

For the best performance of your burners, keep the following in mind: All types 

of pans can be used on the burners. The important thing is that the bottom 

should be completely even.

WARNING!

 The glass lid can break in if it 

is heated up. Turn off all the burners and 

the electric plates before closing the lid. 

Applies to the models with glass cover only.

Using the oven

WARNING !

 The oven is provided 

with a stop system to extract the 

racks and prevent them from coming 

out of the oven (1).

As shown in the drawing, to extract 

them completely, simply lift the racks, 

holding them on the front part, and 

pull (2).

!

 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 prevent the 

enamel coating from being damaged. 

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT knob. See 

the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking 

temperatures (

see Cooking Modes

).

3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating 

up to the temperature set.

4. You may do the following during cooking:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

!

 Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the 

enamel coating from being damaged.

!

 Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when 

the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the 

light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is 

working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

Oven light

This is switched on by selecting 

 using the SELECTOR knob. It remains 

lit when a cooking mode is selected. 

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows 

a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door.

!

 Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate 

until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
