GAS BURNER IGNITION AND REGULATION

For models with single action automatic ignition, place a pan on the burner

grate. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT-HIGH

setting. A clicking sound will be heard and the burner will light, fig. 2. (All

surface ignitors will spark when any control knob is turned to the LIGHT-HIGH

position), keep it pushed in till burner lights. After the burner lights, turn the

knob to the desired flame size, fig.1.

For models equipped with both electronic ignition and safety device, follow

the same procedure as for models with automatic ignition described above,

but you have to keep pushing in for at less 5 seconds till thermocouple is hot

enough. Then release the knob and the burner should remain on.

During a power failure, hold a lighted match to the desired burner head. Push

in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT-HIGH setting. After the

burner lights, turn the knob to the desired flame size, fig.1.

COOKWARE

To achieve optimum surface cooking performance, select heavy gauge, flat,

smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.

Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy and cook food more

evenly.

Remember to use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped

and stay cool. To minimise burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage

due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over

adjacent surfaces burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back

of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by

small children.

NOTES FOR COOKWARE ON GAS BURNERS

We recommend the following pan size per each type of burner, fig. 3:

BURNER TYPE COOKING PAN BOTTOM SIZE

Rapid – (Large) from 200 to 250 mm Ø

Semi-rapid (Medium) from 150 to 200 mm Ø

Simmer (Small)) from 75 to 150 mm Ø

Double ring (Wok) from 250 to 280 mm Ø

Fig. 3

Burner operational Notes:

- A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds.

If using natural gas the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

- If sooting is noticed on pan bottom, contact a service technician to adjust.

- If the control knob is turned very quickly from HIGH to LOW, the flame may

go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the

OFF position, wait several seconds and relight the burner.

mode setting. It also explains which elements heat up for each specific mode.

The lower and circular elements are concealed under the floor and behind

back wall of the oven respectively. The elements will turn on and off to

maintain the oven temperature.

OVEN LIGHT ;

Use this setting to turn on Oven light, light also remains on in all other modes.

BAKE ;

Use this setting for standard baking and roasting. The bottom and top

elements heat up the air.

LOWER ROAST ;

Use this setting for bottom roasting. This intensive heat is best for roasting

less tender meats.

UPPER ROAST ;

Use this setting for top roasting. This intensive heat is best for roasting

less tender meats.

GRILL ;

Use this setting for grilling regular sized and smaller cuts of meat, poultry

and fish. The inner top element will radiate intense heat to give excellent

top browning or searing.

FAN GRILLING ;

Use this setting to combine the intense heat from the inner top element with

the circulation assisted by the convection fan. This air circulation crisps the

exterior surface and retains inner moisture in thick cuts of meat.

CONVECTION ROAST ;

Use this setting for Baking and Roasting on one rack. The bottom and top

elements heat up. For even heating and faster cooking with circulation

assisted by the convection fan. The result is a drier, crisper exterior that

seals in the interior juices. It is perfect for roasting tender meats in an

uncovered low sided pan.

CONVECTION BAKE;

Use this setting for delicate foods and for baking breads and cakes. Use also

when baking large quantities of food on more than one oven rack. Even

heating and speeding up the circulation of heated air throughout the oven

cavity is obtained by the combination of circular convention element and fan.

DEFROST ;

Use this setting to defrost frozen food by speeding up natural air cirulation.

ROTISSERIE ;

Use this setting to roast food using the rotisserie. To use the rotisserie you

must preheat the oven using the grill element. Insert spit with food in the

slotted shaft on the back oven wall, then use front support to keep in place the

rotisserie spit and apply cooking tray below the rotisserie spit as a grease

retainer. Remember to take off the rotisserie handle before closing oven

door. For grilling procedure follow Grill Use chapter.
