Hob: general notes on safety
When a gas cooker is being used it
produces heat and humidity in the room
where it is installed. For this reason
the room must be well ventilated,
keeping the natural ventilation openings
free and switching on the mechanical
aeration system (suction hood or
electric fan, see the “Ventilation” and
“Location and aeration” paragraphs.
If the cooker is used for a long time
additional aeration may be necessary,
for instance, opening a window, or a
more effective aeration by increasing
the power of the mechanical system if
there is one.
Automatic electric ignition of burner
Press and turn the knob corresponding to the
burner you wish to use counterclockwise to
the “Full on“ position.
Automatically the ignition spark shoots
Once lit, keep the knob pressed for about 1
seconds.Matches can be used to light the
burners in a blackout.
Optimum use of the burners
To get the maximum yield with the minimum
consumption of gas it is handy to keep the
following points in mind:
• Once the burner has been lit, adjust the
flame according to your needs.
• Use an appropriately sized pan for each
burner (see the table below and fig. 2).
• When the content of the pan start to boil,
turn the knob down to “Reduced rate
position” (small flame).
• Always put a lid on the pan.

Oven: general notes on safety
•
Always grip the centre of the oven door
when opening. Do not practice excessive
pressures on the door when it is open.
•
Do not worry if condensation forms on the
door and on the internal walls of the oven
during cooking. This does not compromise
its efficiency.
•
When opening the oven door, be very careful
of scalding vapours.
•
Use oven gloves to insert or remove
containers from the oven.
•
Use containers that will resist the
temperatures indicated on the thermostat
knob.
•
For good results during cooking, we strongly
recommend not to cover the base of the
oven or the grill with aluminium foil or other
materials.
•
When grilling always put a little water in the
grill pan.
•
The water prevents the grease from
burning and from giving off bad smells and
smoke. Add more water during grilling to
compensate for evaporation.
After using the appliance ensure that all the
controls are in the off position.
