USE OF THE ELECTRIC OVEN Before the first use of the oven
USING GAS BURNERS The following symbols are on the control panel next to each knob: - Black circle - Large flame - Small flame gas off maximum setting minimum setting
The minimum setting is at the end of the anticlockwise rotation of the knob. All operation positions must be selected between the positions of max. and min., never select them between max. and off. MANUAL IGNITION (during mains power failure) To ignite the burner, press the knob of the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum position then light with a match.
The first time the oven is used, it may give off smells, these are caused by residues left by the production processes and is quite normal. Ensure there is adequate ventilation in the room before performing this action. (It is necessary to heat up the oven at the maximum temperature for about 30-40 minutes in order to burn off these residues). Once this process is complete cooking can commence. The oven is fitted with: a wire trivet for cooking food contained in oven dishes or placed directly on the trivet itself, a drip-tray for cooking sweets, biscuits, pizzas, etc., or for collecting juices and fats from food cooked directly on the trivet. Note: The tables at page 6 give the main points for cooking some of the most common dishes. The cooking times recommended in these tables are approximate. After a few tries, we are sure that you will be able to adjust the times to get the results you want.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION (optional) To ignite the burner, press the knob of the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum position. Keeping the knob pressed in, the automatic ignition of the burner will operate. In case of power failure, the burner can also be lit using a match. APPLIANCES WITH THERMOCOUPLES (if fitted) Follow the same procedure described above to ignite the burners. In this case, once the burner is lit you have to hold the control knob pressed in for approximately 10 seconds until the burner flame stays on, if the flame does not stay on repeat the process. If for any reason the burner flame goes out, the safety valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner in question. ENERGY SAVING TIPS � The diameter of the pan bottom should correspond to that of the burner. The burner flame must never extend beyond the diameter of the pan. Use flat-bottomed pans only. � Whenever possible, keep a lid on the pan while cooking, this will save energy. � Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with as little water as possible to reduce cooking times.
