LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Figure 3.2
■ Check that the electricity is
switched on to allow spark igni-
tion.
■ Make sure that all controls are
turned to zero.
■ The gas flow to the burner is
controlled by taps with safety
cutout device. If the burner
flame should go out, the safety
cut-off valve will automatically
stop the gas flow. The switch for
the electric ignition is incorporat-
ed in the knobs.
■ You control the flow by turning the knob indicator to line up with the following
symbols:
– Symbol
■
: tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol
– Symbol
: High (maximum)
: Low (minimum)
■ To ignite automatically, push the required knob down and turn it to maximum,
keeping the knob down until the burner lights. When the flame is lit, wait for
about ten second with the knob down (safety cut-off activation delay).
■ You can control the temperature by the knob to “High” from “minimum”.
■ To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.
■ Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob
clockwise past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.
■ Whenever the lighting of the burners is difficult due to peculiar conditions of
the gas features or supply, it is advised to repeat the ignition with the knob on
“minimum” position.
■ If when lighting any of the burners an abnormal flame appears, switch the
burner off and relight using the minimum setting.
■ If the flame is still not correct, turn the burner off and call our Customer Service
center for your nearest Authorized Delonghi Service Agent.
■ In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
24
CHOICE OF BURNER
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy
required.
For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.

Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight
of the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which
are offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be
accidentally knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all
controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Figure 3.4
GRATE FOR SMALL PANS
■ This grate (fig. 3.4) is to be
placed on top of the (smaller)
auxiliary burner when using
small diameter pans, in order to
prevent them from tipping over.
CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER
■ The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
■ To use the WOK, you must place the wok stand in the CORRECT position as
shown in Fig. 3.5 - 3.6.
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 3.5) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the triple-ring burner.

VITROCRAMIC HOB
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direc-
tion, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at
only a few centimetres from the cooking plate.
The 2 cooking zones are shown by disks on the ceramic surface.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the element
in all settings to protect any overheating of the ceramic glass.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature
limiter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
“3 CIRCUITS” RADIANT ZONES (Fig. 3.8)
The heating element consists of 3 electrical resistances which can operate together or
separately according to the setting of the 7-position switch (fig. 3.7).
It reaches the required temperature very quickly.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The appliance also features 2 warning lights (located in the control panel above the
control knobs) which are connected to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning lights
will also light up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This light also stays on after the cooking plate has been switched off to show that the
hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched
off.
During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cook-
ing area.
Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allow ed near the
hob.
The light will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking
plate falls below 60°C.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children w ell out of reach.
Do not scratch the cooktop w ith cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the cooktop as a w ork surface.

COOKING HINTS:
■ To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when
you switch the plate on. After a short time you can set the control knob to the
position required for cooking.
■ You should only use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for
glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops). The diameter of the pan
should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most
of the energy.
■ Since the cooking surface will stays hot for a certain time after the plate has
been switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking. The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
■ To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
■ Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop.
HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE HOBS
■ Before switching on, check which knob controls the required hob. You are
advised to place the saucepan on the hob before switching on and to take it off
after switching off.
■ Use saucepans with an even flat bottom (be careful of cast iron saucepans).
Uneven bottoms can scratch the pyroceram surface. Check that the bottom is
clean and dry.
■ Check that the saucepan handle does not protrude from the top to avoid knock-
ing it over. This precaution also makes it more difficult for children to reach the
saucepan.
■ Do not use the top if the surface is broken or damaged.
■ Do not bend over the hobs when they are on.
■ Do not leave aluminium foil, greaseproof paper etc. or plastic on the hob when
it is hot.
■ Remember that the hobs stay hot for quite a long time (approx. 30 min.) after
they have been switched off.
■ Scrupulously follow the cleaning instructions.
■ Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop.
■ If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call
the After-Sales Service.
■ Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans
or containers.
30
CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make sure that the appliance is switched off.
■ Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
■ Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
■ If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
■ All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
■ Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
■ If any of these products items have melted on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid
any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.
■ Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils since these can damage the ceramic.
■ Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special scraper tool take extra care
to avoid damaging the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the FAN oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by forced convection
A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven muffle, which sends it through the circular
heating element and then sends it back through the muffle. Before the hot air is sucked
back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, pro-
voking a complete and rapid cooking.
It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.
b. by radiation
The heat is irradiated by the infra red grill element.

COOKING ADVICE
STERILIZATION
Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the fol-
lowing way:
a. Set the switch to position
.
b. Set the thermostat knob to position 185 °C and preheat the oven.
c. Fill the dripping pan with hot water.
d. Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the
door and set the thermostat knob to position 135 °C.
When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble, turn off
the oven and let cool.
37
REGENERATION
Set the switch to position
and the thermostat knob to position 150° C.
Bread becomes fragrant again if wet with a few drops of water and put into the oven for
about 10 minutes at the highest temperature.
ROASTING
To obtain classical roasting, it is necessary to remember:
– that it is advisable to maintain a temperature between 180 and 200 °C.
– that the cooking time depends on the quantity and the type of foods.
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and
introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recu-
perate the stored heat.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS
The FAN consents a simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different
foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked together without mixing the smells and
flavours together. This is possible since the fats and vapours are oxidized while passing
through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.
The only precaution to follow are:
– The cooking temperatures of the different foods must be as close to as possible, with a
maximum difference of 20° - 25 °C.
– The introduction of the different dishes in the oven must be done at different times in rela-
tion to the cooking times of each one.
The time and energy saved with this type of cooking is obvious.
USE OF THE GRILL
Leave to warm up for approximately 5 minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the rack as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to collect the cooking juices.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-
FUNCTION oven are obtained in the fol-
lowing ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
GENERAL FEATURES
As its name indicates, this is an oven that
presents particular features from an opera-
tional point of view.
The fan draws in air contained within
the oven housing at the rear of the
oven and forces it over the circular
heating element. The hot air envelops
the food in the oven giving faster and
more even cooking before it is drawn
back into the housing to repeat the
cycle. It is possible to cook several
dishes simultaneously due to the even
distribution of heat within the oven.
In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different
programs to satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions, thermostatically con-
trolled, are obtained by 4 heating ele-
ments which are:
– Bottom element
– Top element
– Grill element
1300 W
1000 W
2000 W
2200 W
c. by forced semi-convection
The heat produced by the top and
bottom heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
– Circular element
d. by radiant heat
The food is grilled by the infra red grill
element.
e. by radiant heat and ventilation
The food is grilled by the grill element
is distributed throughout the oven
NOTE:
To eliminate traces of grease in manu-
facture it is necessary to pre-heat the
oven at the maximum temperature.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan
only function without heat.

N.B. For fan ovens reduce the temperature
by 10-20°C. For any dish taking one hour or
over to cook, reduce the cooking time by 10
minutes per hour.
Shelf positions have been counted from

the top of the oven to the base.
A fan oven creates more even temperature
throughout, therefore the shelf positions are
not as critical.
