- spark plug wire broken or without sheathing;
- spark discharging to earth (to other parts of the cooker);
- generator or microswitch damaged;
- air has built up in the pipes (particularly if the cooker has been out
of use for a long time);
- air-gas mixture incorrect (poor fuel setting).
THE SAFETY DEVICE
The correct gap between the end of the thermocouple sensor and
the burner is shown in figures 7a,7b.
To check that the valve is working properly, proceed as follows:
- ignite the burner and leave it to work for about 3 minutes;
- turn off the burner by returning the knob to off position (
);
- after 90 seconds for hob burners, 60 seconds for oven and grill
burners, turn the knob pointer to the "on" position;
- release the knob in this position and move a burning match towards
the burner; IT MUST NOT IGNITE.
Time needed to excite the magnet during ignition: 10 seconds ap-
prox.Automatic tripping time, after flame has been turned off: not
more than 90 seconds for hob burners; not more than 60 seconds
for oven and grill burners.
IMPORTANT:
- Before doing any work inside the cooker, disconnect the mains
plug and shut the gas tap.
- Never use matches to check the gas circuit for leaks. If a specific
control device is not available, foam or very soapy water can be
used.
- When re-closing the hob, check that the electrical wires of the spark
plugs (if present) are not close to the injectors, so that they cannot
run across them.
HOW TO USE THE COOKER
VENTILATION
All
gas cooking appliances produce heat and moisture in the rooms
where they are installed. Take care to ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated; keep the ventilation openings unobstructed or install
an extractor hood with fan.
In case of intensive or prolonged use, additional ventilation may
be required; open a window, or increase the extractor fan power.
IGNITING THE HOB BURNERS
- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
symbol on the control panel (maximum flame position);
- at the same time, move a burning match towards the burner head;
- to reduce the flame, turn the knob further in the same direction
until its pointer is against the
symbol (minimum flame position).
FOR HOB BURNERS EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICE
- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
symbol on the control panel (maximum flame position);
- move a burning match towards the burner, keeping the knob
pressed right down for about 10 seconds;
- then release the knob and check that the burner remains on.
Otherwise, repeat the operation.
IGNITING THE OVEN BURNER
- Open the oven door;
- press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame
position;
- move a burning match towards the hole in the centre of the oven
bottom and press the knob right down (see fig. 10);
- look through the two holes in the sides of the bottom to check that
the burner has ignited, keeping the knob pressed down;
- after about 10 seconds, release the knob and check that the burner
remains on. Otherwise, repeat the operation.
IGNITING THE GRILL BURNER
-
Fit the control knob guard as shown in fig. 13;
- press the oven knob and turn it to the right until it reaches the
stop;
- move a burning match towards the perforated burner pipe and
press the knob right down (see fig. 11);
- check that the burner has ignited, keeping the knob pressed down;
- after about 10 seconds, release the knob and check that the burner
remains on. Otherwise, repeat the operation.
SAFETY DEVICE
Burners equipped with this device have the advantage that they
are protected if they accidentally go out. If this occurs, the supply
of gas to the burner concerned is automatically cut off, preventing
the hazards deriving from a leak of unburnt gas. The gas supply
must be cut off within no more than 60 seconds for the oven and
grill burners or 90 seconds for the hob burners.
FOR COOKERS WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION
All the above applies, except that the match is no longer required;
a spark is obtained by pressing the button on the control panel
once or more, or by pressing the knob of the burner to be ignited.If
electronic ignition is difficult with some types of gas, set the knob
on the low (small flame) setting.
- For cookers with electric ignition of the oven and grill burners,
ensure the oven door is completely open when these burners are
ignited;
- Do not operate the ignition device for more than 10 seconds when
igniting the oven and grill burners. If the burner has not lit after
these 10 seconds, stop using the device, leave the door open and
wait one minute before trying again to ignite the burner. If the

For the user
ignition device malfunctions again, light the burner with a match
and call the after-sales service.
IMPORTANT:
- Difficulty in igniting burners is normal if the cooker has been out
of use for some time. The air accumulated in the pipes will be
expelled in a few seconds;
- Never allow too much unburnt gas to flow from the burners. If
ignition is not achieved within a relatively short time, repeat the
procedure after returning the knob to the off position ( );
- when the oven and grill are lit for the first time, a smell may be
noticed and smoke may come out of the oven. This is because
of the surface treatment and oily residues on the burners.
HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS
Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner type. The flames must
not project beyond the base of the pan. Recommended sizes:
- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8 cm using the adjusting
grid supplied with the cooker
- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least 14 cm
- for rapid and triple flame burners = pan of at least 22 cm.
N.B.: Never keep the knob at settings between the maximum flame
symbol and the off position ( ).
IMPORTANT:
- Never leave hotplates on without pans, except when first used;
leave for about 10 minutes to dry oil or moisture residues;
- if the hotplate is to be out of use for a long time, apply a little
grease to its painted surface;
- do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate, requiring the use of
abrasive cleaners.
