3. OPERATION
3.1Hob: 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 "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.
Lighting the burners
Automatic electric ignition of burners
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 3 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.

3.2 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
