competent and qualified installers according to the
regulations in force.

• Any modifications to the domestic electrical mains
which may be necessary for the installation of the
appliance should be carried out only by competent
personnel.

• It is dangerous to modify, or attempt to modify, the
characteristics of this appliance.

• Avoid installation of the cooker near inflammable

Child Safety

• This appliance has been designed for use by adults.
Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to play
with it.

• The appliance remains hot for a long time after being

During Use

• This product is intended for the cooking of food and
must not be used for other purposes.
During cooking on the grill or in the oven, the unit is kept

•
at a high temperature in relation to the plate glass door
and adjacent parts. Take care therefore, that children do
not play near it. When connecting household appliances
to a plug near the unit, ensure that they are kept away
from the flame and the oven door.

• During the first minutes of use, the thermal insulation
of the oven, and residual grease from manufacture, pro­duce smoke and disagreeable smells. On first use, we
advise heating the oven, empty, for approximately 45
minutes. Then leave to cool and clean the inside of the
oven with hot water and a mild detergent.

• Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on the
burners or plates in order to avoid accidents caused by
upsetting or boiling over.

• Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil
or fat.

• If the appliance is fitted with a cover, its function is to
protect the surface from dust when closed and to accu­mulate splashes of grease when open. Do not use for

other purposes.

• All the covers, in plate glass or enamel, are removable
to facilitate cleaning.

• Always ensure that the knobs are in the «
position when the appliance is not in use.

• Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill or
when cooking meat on the grid. Pour a little water into
the dripping pan to avoid grease burning and creating
unpleasant smells.

» (Stop)

washed before using for the first time.

• Take care when using cleaning products in spray form:
never direct the spray onto the resistance or the
thermostat bulb.

• If, when placing food in the oven, or when removing it, a
large quantity of oil, juice, etc. spills onto the bottom of
the oven, re-clean before starting to cook to avoid
unpleasant smoke and also the possibility of these
substances catching fire.

• Ensure that air can circulate around the gas appliance.
Poor ventilation can produce a lack of oxygen.

• The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and
humidity in the room in which it is installed. Ensure
good ventilation of the room keeping natural ventilation
openings clear or installing an extractor hood with a
discharge tube. In case of doubt ask installer for advice.

• Supply the appliance with the type of gas stamped on
the relevant adhesive label situated in the immediate
vicinity of the gas connection tube.

The holes on the bottom of the oven must never be
obstructed. Do not cover the sides of the oven with
aluminium foil, in particular the lower part of the
opening.

• The appliance is heavy, move it carefully.

• To facilitate ignition, light the burners before placing
pans on the grid. After having lit the burners check that

the flame is regular.

• Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing the
pan.

• Ensure that the oven grids are inserted correctly.

• Only heat-resistant plates may be placed in the drawer
situated under the oven. Do not put combustible

materials there.

During cooking, when using fats or oils, take
particular care as they can, when over­heated, self-ignite.
When using the triple-crown burner, place
the special grid on the pan support (Fig. 3-A).
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans
having a diameter equal or higher than
50mm), place the special grid on the pan
support, as shown in Fig. 3-B.

Triple-crown burner

In models provided with triple-crown burner, always

Hints and tips

Pottery

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to
cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as in Fig. 5.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.

Fig. 5

Hotplates

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:

• they should be fairly heavy duty;

• they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller;

• they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate (see Fig. 6).

This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt
onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.

In models supplied with a cover, if it is made of
glass, it should not be closed when the burners are
still hot, as it could splinter.
