1) INSTALLING THE COOKER
After removing the external packaging and the internal packaging of the various
moving parts, position the cooker ensuring that the installation area is normally
ventilated without any drafts which might blow out the burners. To ensure perfect
presentation, the stainless steel parts are mounted on the appliance protected
by a plastic covering, which must be removed before using the appliance.
N.B.: The sides of adjoing kitchen units in contact with the cooker must be capable
of withstanding temperatures of approximately 90°C. It is essential that furniture
in contact with the cooker are heat resistant or protected by a similar material.
If the adjacent cabinet top is higher than the cooker hob, a 20 mm, clearance
should be kept between the furniture unless lined with a suitable fireproof material
the clearance above the cooker hot should be at least of 630 mm.
GAS APPLIANCES
This appliance is not connected to a device to vent the combustion products. It must
therefore be installed and connected in conformity with the installation standards in
force. Particular attention must be paid to the standards on ventilation of the room.
1a) VENTILATION OF ROOMS
Remember that this appliance can be installed and work in well-ventilated rooms only,
according to the standards in force, such as to allow, with openings on the external
walls or with special ducts, a correct natural or forced ventilation ensuring permanently
and sufficiently both the entry of the air needed for correct combustion and the removal
of spent air. In particular when there is only this gas appliance in the room, there must
be a hood over the appliance to ensure the natural and direct removal of spent air,
with a vertical straight duct of length equal to at least twice the diameter and a minimum
section of at least 100 cm
must be a similar 100 cm
2
. For the indispensable entry of fresh air into the room there
2
(5,16 cm2 x kW) opening directly to theoutside, situated
at a height near floor level so that it is not blocked either inside or outside the wall and
so as not to cause disturbances to correct burners combustion and to the regular
removal of spent air and with a difference of height with respect to the outlet opening
of at least 180 cm. Remember that the quantity of air necessary for combustion must
never be less than 2m
3
/h for each kW of power (see total power in kW on the appliance
data plate).
In all other cases, i.e. when there are other gas appliances in the same room, or when
43
23
natural direct ventilation is not possible and natural indirect or forced ventilation must
be installed, contact a qualified specialist who will install and make the ventilation
system, scrupulously observing the regulations contained in the standards in force.
The openings must be so positioned that there are no draughts of air which cannot
be tolerated by the occupants.
2) GAS CONNECTIONS
The installation must be in accordance with regulations set by the local gas Authority.
This appliance belongs to class "1" against fire dangers (see N.B.). Between the cooker
and gas supply line is required a gas shut off valve (easy of access) to be kept closed
when the cooker is not in use. The pressure regulators for Lpg must be in accordance
with the requirements.
2a) CONNECTION TO GAS CYLINDER
Cooker working with Lpg gas can be connected with a flexible pipe (T ø 8 mm) fixed
to inlet connector A (fig. 2). The pipe must always comply with the regulations in force
in the country where the appliance is installed. Both ends must always be secured by
means of a hose clamp F (fig. 2).
2b) COOKER SET FOR NATURAL GAS AND (TOWN GAS EXTRA E.E.C. COUNTRY)
The flexible pipe (T ø 13 mm) must comply with the rules in force in the country in
question. The pipe must be fixed to the inlet connector B (fig. 3) and to the main gas
tap. Both end be secured with hose clamp F (fig. 3).
WARNING
The flexible pipe must never reach, in any point a temperature higher than 50°C above
the ambient temperature. Do not submit it to torsion or tension efforts. It must not
present strangling or sharp bent. It is advisable to replace it periodically.
Pipe connection
Make the connection using an iron (R) or copper pipe (S) starting from attachment
3
C in (fig. 4). Remove hose attachment B using a 23 mm spanner. When making
the connection include an accessible ensure that the seal G is always placed
between the hose attachment and union C (fig. 4). When the connection is complete,
always check that there are no gas leaks from the union.
N.B. The connection between the end of the gas train and the supply can be made
on the right so that the gas pipe does not have to pass behind the cooker. In case
of connection on the left please relate to what already described in paragraph gas
connection having care to let the flexible tube pass through a holder see (fig. 5A)
in case of inflexible connection, see (fig. 5B).
3) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance belong to class "X" against fire dangers (see N.B par. 1).
Connection of the appliance to the power mains should be done by a licensed
electrician familiar with local safety regulations.
- This appliance must be earthed by law.
- Before connecting the appliance to the electrical supply, check that the
earth system in your house is working correctly.
- Check that unit voltage and power, marked on the rating plate applied on the
appliance, are correct for the supply;
- It is necessary that the feeding network is protected by a powerful switch able
to disconnect completely the network with a contacts separation of at least 3
mm.
Be sure that the earth wire green/yellow is not interrupted by the switch.
Important: The wires in the mains lead are so coloured:
- green/yellow = earth “ ”
- blue = neutral “N”
- brown = live “L”
- The supply cable must not come into contact with any component the temperature
of which exceeds the ambient temperature by 50°C;
- If a plug is used for connection, the plug to be connected to the supply cable
and the socket to which it is connected must be of the same type (conforming
to the standards).
- Easy access to the plug or the switch is ensured once the appliance is installed;
- Ensure that there is sufficient cable allowed for any subsequent removal of the
unit.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons or
things caused by failure to observe the rules indicated above.
4) CONVERSION FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
The cooker carries a label specifying the type of gas for which it has been preset.
If it is to be used with a different type of gas, convert as follows with:
— Replacement of the hose attachment as in the previous section "Gas connection"
— Replacement of the nozzles and air adjustment.
When using liquid gas this screw must be fully tightened.
After making this adjustment check that the burner remains on when switched
rapidly from full on to minimum position and viceversa.
4c) Gas grill Burner
The figure 15 represent the gas grill burner
The nozzle is replaced as described below:
— Open the oven door.
— Unscrew the screw A which fasten the grill burner to the oven ceiling
and estract the burner from the oven (fig. 15)
— Introduce in the nozzle-holder a 10 mm socket spanner and remove the nozzle G (fig. 16) replacing
it with the new one suitable for the new gas type (see Chart 1)
— Once executed such operation reset the burner and check that it remains on.
In case of problem, move the burner back or before placing it in position for
to get a correct combustion and a good regulation of the air.
— Minimum setting
Since the grill burner always operates at full flame, there is no need to regulate
the minimum setting.
— Important
Once the procedure for adapting the cooker to one type of gas or another
is complete, we strongly advise staff to check using soapy water that
there are no leaks from the unions used to make the conversion.
4d) Burners with safety valve
The procedure for regulating the minimum flame on cookers with safety valves
on the hob burners, oven and grill burners is as described in paragraphs 4a,
4b and 4c. However, in this case the minimum setting screw Tor Z is on the
left of the rod of the gas tap or the thermostat (fig. 17).
TRANSFORMATION OF ELECTRIC FEED TYPE
Some cookers, even if manufactured for working at 230V~, can be feeded with
threephases systems. For their transformation you have to disconnect current,
remove the back side of the cooker (fig. 17A) and settle the movable connectars
in terminals block (see fig. 17B)

it against the burner to be lit. Then press the relative knob and turn it
anticlockwise until the flame setting required is reached (fig. 18). Over each
knob, the fascia panel is screen-printed with a diagram indicating the relative
burner. To turn off the burner turn the knob clockwise to ( ) (fig. 18).
The minimum position is at the end anti-clockwise rotation of the knob. All
operation positions must be chosen between the positions of max. and min.,
never choose them between max. and off.
5b) Using hob burners
The hob consists of burners of different sizes.
To ensure optimum efficiency in use of gas, with minimum consumption, follow
the hints given below:
— Each burner must be used with a suitably sized pan (fig. 19) so that the
flames do not project beyond the pan bottom.
— Once the contents are boiling, turn the knob down to minimum (low flame
fig. 18).
— Always put the lid on the pan.
6) GAS OVEN

7) GAS GRILL
7a) Lighting the burner manually
To light the grill, simply open the oven door fully, turn the knob clockwise until the
pointer is against the symbol (fig. 21)
and place a lighted match against the grill burner. To switch the burner off turn
the knob anticlockwise until the pointer is vertical on “ ” (fig. 21).
7b) Using the gas grill
After ignition, wait for 5 minutes before placing the food under the grill and leave
the oven door half opened as shown in (fig. 22). To prevent the knobs and gas
taps from overheating, the guard (canopy) S (fig. 23) must be fitted.
Electrical ignition for hob burners (optional)
Follow the initial procedure as described in paragraphs 5a.
In this case no match is required; simple keep button‚ on the facia panels pressed
(fig. 24) to ignite the burner.
8) APPLIANCES WITH SAFETY VALVE
To light the burners proceed as described in the precedent paragraphs.
However, in this case, once the knobs have been turned on they must be pressed
for 10 seconds to heat the thermocouple bulb (fig. 25). If the burner flame goes
out for any reason, the safety valve will automatically intervene and cut off the gas
flow to the burner concerned.
Example of hob burner with thermocouple (T) and electric ignition (C) (
fig. 26).
9) ELECTRIC HOT-PLATES
When an electric hot-plate is used for the first time or after it has been out
of service for a long period, operate on setting 1 for about 20 minutes to
eliminate any moisture from the internal insulating material.
