anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the

occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down
for a longer period of time.
! Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety
device (X), you must hold the control knob in for
about 3-7 seconds after the burner has been lighted
to allow the gas to pass until the safety
thermocouple has heated.

the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before

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

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the "Burner and nozzle
specifications".
! On the models supplied with a reducer shelf,
remember that this should be used only for the
auxiliary burner when you use casserole dishes with
a diameter under 12 cm.
Using the oven
! 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 avoid the enamel coating being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
