Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a full ring showing the strength of the
flame for the relevant burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that
it is pointing to the maximum flame setting -.
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the
BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum
setting +, the maximum setting - or any position in between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device*
(see figure), press the ignition button, marked with the
symbol
, then hold the BURNER knob down and turn it
in an anticlockwise direction, towards the maximum flame
setting, until the burner is lit.The burner may be
extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs,
repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer
period of time.
If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for
at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety
device*, press and hold the BURNER knob for
approximately 3-7 seconds to keep the flame alight and
to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position •.
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:

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.
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the
appliance.
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the
enamel coating being damaged.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the
desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can
be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).
During cooking it is always possible to:
• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light

the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat
is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other
than “0”. It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting with
the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements
being activated.
Using the cooking timer*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time:
align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob
with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer sounds
and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used as a
normal timer.
