The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.

To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the position.

Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and positions.

N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their

positions and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH FLAME FAILURE

SAFETY DEVICE

In order to light the burner, you must:

1 – Push and turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction up to the position

(maximum rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit (fig. 2.2).

The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the flame.

In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner in position, try again with the knob in position.

If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.

2 – Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go the knob (safety device activation delay).

3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed

CHOICE OF BURNER

(fig. 2.3)

The symbols printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner.

The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capacity of the container to be warmed.

It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating potential of the burners in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the burners, bringing about a waste of gas fuel.

A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that boiling conditions are reached quicker.

how  to  use  the  gas  oven



GENERAL FEATURES

The gas oven is provided with: a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower part of the oven (13000 BTU/hr).

b) Broil burner, mounted on the upper part of the oven (8500 BTU/hr).

c) Fan motor which can be used in combination with the oven burner or separately

(without heating).

It is not possible to use the fan motor in combination with the broil burner: a safety device switches off the fan motor when the gas oven/broil control knob is turned on broil position.

d) Light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling the food that is cooking.

Attention: the range becomes very hot during operation.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children away.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking are obtained in the following ways: a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the oven burner.

b.

by forced convection

The heat produced by the oven burner is distributed throughout the oven by the fan. The hot air envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking.

It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.

c.

by radiation

The heat is irradiated by the infra red broil burner.

d.

by ventilation (this is not a cooking function)

The food is defrosted by using the fan only without oven burner.

N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their

positions and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

VERY IMPORTANT

The oven/broil shall be used always with the oven door closed.

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

It is advised to follow these instructions:

– Furnish the interior of the oven by placing the wire racks as described at chapter

“Cleaning and maintenance”.

– Insert shelves and tray.

– Turn the oven on to the maximum temperature (position ) to eliminate possible traces of grease from the oven burner. The same operation should be followed for broil burner.

– Switch off the electrical supply, let the oven cool down, then clean the interior of the oven with cloth soaked in water and detergent (neutral) then dry carefully.
