Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible
and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is
recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat
base are used. They should also be suited to the size of
the burner:

Rapid (R)
Semi-Rapid (S)
Auxilliary (A)
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams
contained in the "Burner and nozzle specifications".

! For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must
be used only for the auxiliary burner, when pans with a
diameter of less than 12 cm are used.
Using the oven
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature
for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the
oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant
odour caused by protective substances used during the
manufacturing process burning away.
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
