ENERGY SAVING TIPS · The diameter of the saucepan must be the same or slightly larger than that of the electric hotplate. Never use a pan which is smaller than the electric hotplate. · Use flat-bottomed pans only. · Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat. · Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times. APPLIANCES WITH SAFETY VALVE (optional) Follow the same procedure described above to ignite the burners. In this case, however, once you have turned the knob to the open setting, hold it pressed in for 10 seconds. If for any reason the burner flame goes out, the safety valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner in question. Fig. 4 ENERGY SAVING TIPS · The diameter of the pan bottom should be the same as that of the burner. The burner flame must never come out from the pans diameter. · Use flat-bottomed pans only. · Whenever possible, keep a lid on the pan while cooking. You will not need as much heat. · Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with as little water as possible to reduce cooking times. Fig.1 USING ELECTRIC HOTPLATES When using an electric hotplate for the first time or after a long period of disuse, turn the knob to 1 and let it heat for about 20 minutes to eliminate any possible moisture absorbed by the internal insulating material. - Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hotplate. - Turn the hotplate on only after placing the pan on it. 4 CERAMIC WORK-TOP The work-top is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power. The positions are clearly marked. The heating occurs only within the diameters marked on the work-top. For efficient cooking and energy saving, it is essential to use only suitable saucepans. Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can scratch the ceramic surface. Before use, make sure that pan bottoms are clean and dry. Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone they are used on. When cold, pan bottoms should be slightly concave, as they expand when they are hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This transfers the heat best. The best thickness for pan bottoms is 2-3 mm in case of enamelled steel and 4-6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms. There is a simple way of checking whether the pan bottom is of the right shape (when cold). Rest the middle of the bottom at an angle against the straight edge of a table and slip a few strips of typing paper between them. As a guide five to ten pieces of paper is correct for enamelled steel pans and two to five strips for stainless steel (the higher number applies to the larger sizes of pan). 3 4 USE OF THE GAS OVEN Use of the oven Before using the oven for the first time, heat it to the maximum temperature for about 30 minutes to eliminate smokes and unpleasant smells produced by internal components. Manual ignition of the burner Open the oven door and bring a light match near the central hole A placed on the oven bottom. Fig. 5 These rules are very important. If they are not followed there will be a great loss of heat and energy, and the heat not absorbed by the saucepan will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinet. Using the cooking hob. The first few times the hob is used, it may give off acrid, burning smells. These will disappear completely with repeated use. Each cooking area has a selector knob on the appliance control panel for setting different temperature levels. For normal cooking, place the saucepan on the desired area of the hob and set the knob to the maximum heat. A warning light on the control panel will inform you if the cooking area is on or off. Some of the cooking work-tops have an indicator light between the two front cooking areas, which lights up when one or more of the cooking areas goes above the temperature of 60°C. The indicator light switches off only when the temperature of the cooking areas goes below about 60°C. After a few minutes, when the contents of the saucepan are boiling, turn the knob to a lower position, depending on the quantity, so that the saucepan does not splash over and there is no waste of heat.

In this way the safety valve will be started up. If for any reason the burner flame goes out, repeat the procedure as described above. When you will be sure that the burner is on, close softly the oven door. To obtain the desired temperature, turn the knob index to the selected number.

Do not use the hob if the surface is broken or cracked; contact the assistance service immediately.
