3. OPERATION
Hob: 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
Manual ignition
Press and turn counterclockwise the knob
corresponding to the burner you wish to
use, until it reaches to the "Full on" position
and placing a lighted match to the burner.
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
10 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. 4).
• 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.

Oven: general notes on safety
• Do not leave the oven unattended
during baking. Ensure that children
do not play with the appliance.
• Always keep the appliance lid
open when using the oven, in
order to prevent overheating.
• 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
inside walls of the oven during
use. This does not affect its
working order.
• Mind hot steam when opening the
oven door.
• The appliance becomes very
hot during use. Do not touch the
heating elements inside the oven.
Wear oven gloves when placing or
removing pans from the oven.
• In placing foods into or removing
them from the oven, make sure
sauces do not drip to the hot plate
of the oven (overheated oils and
fats can easily ignite).
