The Various Features of the Cooker
The various functions featured with the oven are control-
led using the knobs and buttons on the control panel.
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob
The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the
knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:
•. To light one of
the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner.
Press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-
clockwise direction to the maximum
setting. Each burner
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off
•
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the
reference mark on the control panel), for maximum
and
minimum
.
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the
knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the
•
symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob
To light a specific burner push the corresponding knob all the
way in and turn it counter-clockwise to maximum keep-
ing it pressed down until the burner lights.
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go out,
turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute be-
fore trying to relight.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks
These models can be identified by the presence of the de-
vice itself (see detail K).
Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a
safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about
3 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the
gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf
of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from drip-
ping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or
when using the rotisserie (only available on certain mod-
els). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom
shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium
foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appliance in-
serted especially along the oven guides.
Oven and Grill Control Knob (P)
This knob allows you to select the various features of the
oven and to set the most appropriate cooking tempera-
ture from among those indicated on the knob itself (be-
tween Min and Max).
To light the oven burner, hold a lighted match or lighter near
the "F" hole and, at the same time, press down and turn the
oven knob counter-clockwise to the Max setting.
F
Since the cooker is equipped with a safety device which
makes it necessary to keep the knob pressed in for about
6 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the
gas to pass through freely. (For the models equipped
with electronic lighting, see the relative paragraph).
The cooking temperature is selected by matching the de-
sired temperature with the reference mark on the panel; the
complete range of temperatures is shown below.
Min • 160 • 180 • 220 Max
150 155 170 200 250
The temperature setting is then automatically reached and
kept constant by the thermostat (which is controlled by
the knob).
Press the “P” knob all the way in and turn it to the
setting
in order to start the grill. The grill cooks by means of infrared
rays, making it possible to brown food to perfection. It is also
recommended for cooking roasts, sausages, roast beef, etc.
Important Notice: In the event the flame for the oven or the
grill accidentally goes out, turn the control knob for the burner
to the off position and do not relight the burner for at least
one minute.
Electronic Ignition of the Oven Burner
To ignite the gas oven burner, press the gas oven knob
(P) in all the way and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction
to the Max position.
Once the burner lights, release the button but keep the
knob pressed in for about 6 seconds in order to allow
the gas to pass freely.
In the event of a power outage, the oven can be lighted manu-
ally following the instructions provided in the section entitled
“The Oven and Grill Knob.” The electronic lighting device for
the oven burner must not be activated for more than 15 sec-
onds. If after 15 seconds the burner has not been lighted,
release the button, open the oven door and wait for at least
one minute before trying to light the burner again.
The Grill Operating Light (Q)
This light comes on when any of the electrical heating ele-
ments in the oven have been turned on.
