Installation

INSTALLATION

The appliance must be installed by qualified
staff working in accordance with the regula­tions in force.
Before installing, ensure that the appliance
is correctly preset for the local distribution
conditions (gas type and pressure).
The presettings of this appliance are indi­cated on the nameplate shown on the cover.
This appliance is not connected to a flue gas
extractor device. It must be installed and
connected in accordance with the regulations
in force.
This appliance may only be installed and may
only operate in rooms permanently ventilated
in accordance with national regulations in
force.

VENTILATION

The rooms in which gas appliances are in­stalled must be well ventilated in order to al­low correct gas combustion and ventilation.
The air flow necessary for combustion is at
least 2 m3/h for each kW of rated power.

POSITIONING

Remove the packaging accessories, includ­ing the films covering the chrome-plated and
stainless steel parts, from the cooker.
Position the cooker in a dry, convenient and
draft-free place. Keep at an appropriate dis­tance from walls which may be damaged by
heat (wood, linoleum, paper, etc.).
Ensure that the gas cylinder cupboard (where
present) is adequately ventilated.
The cooker may be installed alone or be­tween two kitchen units; in this case, the
sides of the units must withstand a tempera­ture of 100 degrees C and they must not be
higher than the cooker hob.

CONNECTING TO THE GAS SUPPLY

Before connecting the cooker, check that it
is preset for the gas to be used. Otherwise,
make the conversion as described in the
section headed "Adapting to different gas
types". The connection is on the right; if the

pipe has to pass behind the cooker, it must
be kept low down where the temperature is
about 50 degrees C.

- Rigid connection (see fig. 2 A + D)
The connection to the mains gas supply
may be made using a rigid metal pipe or
with a metal hose. Remove the hose
connector (if already fitted) and screw the
rigid union onto the threaded connection
of the gas train (see fig. 2 D). The union for
rigid connection may already be fitted on
the gas train, or may be amongst the cooker
accessories. Otherwise, it can be obtained
from your dealer.
If national regulations permit, a metal hose
complying with the national standards can
be screwed directly onto the threaded
connection of the gas train, fitting a seal
(see fig. 2 A). However, users are strongly
recommended always to fit the rigid union.

- Connection using a rubber hose (see fig.
2 C). (For butane/propane gas only).
Connect a rubber hose carrying the
conformity mark currently in force to the hose
connector. The hose must be replaced at
the date indicated at the latest, and must

be secured at both ends using standard
hose clamps. It must be absolutely
accessible to allow its condition to be
checked along its entire length.

CAUTION:

- Use of the hose connector is only
permitted for free-standing installation.
If the appliance is installed between two
class 2 st. 2-1 unions, the rigid union is
the only form of connection permitted.

IMPORTANT :

- Use only standard rubber hoses. For LPG,
use a hose which complies with the national
regulations in force.

- Avoid sharp bends in the pipe and keep it
well away from hot surfaces.

References to the regulations covering the
gas connection to the appliance: ISO 7-1.

GAS CYLINDER CONNECTION

Installation

cylinder using an approved hose from 60 to
70 cm long, following the route shown in fig­ure 3.
The hose must not touch the side near the
oven. The maximum gas cylinder size is di­ameter 31 cm and height 60 cm, with capac­ity from 10 to 13 kg.

ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF
GAS

If the cooker is not already preset to operate
with the type of gas available, it must be con­verted. Proceed as follows:

- Replace the injectors (see table on page

28);

- regulate the primary air flow;

- regulate the minimum settings.
N.B.: every time you change the type of gas,
indicate the new type of gas on the serial
number label.

REPLACING THE HOB BURNER INJEC­TORS (fig. 4)

- Lift off the pan stands, flame caps and burn­ers

- unscrew the screws which secure the hob
(if any), lift it at the front and rest it against
the lid, fixing it with adhesive tape;

- remove the mixer pipes and replace the
injectors using a 7 mm socket wrench.

REPLACING THE OVEN BURNER INJEC­TOR (Fig. 5)

- Loose the screw securing the oven bottom;

- remove the oven bottom (push back and
raise);

- remove the oven burner, after taking out its
fixing screw;

- replace the injector, using a 7 mm socket
wrench.

REPLACING THE GRILL BURNER INJEC­TOR (Fig. 6)

- Remove the burner after taking out the two
screws which secure it;

- replace the injector using a 7 mm socket
wrench.

IMPORTANT:

- Never over-tighten the injectors;

- after replacing, check that all the injectors
are airtight.

REGULATING THE BURNER AIR

Refer to the table below for regulation of the
gap H in mm (fig. 4 for the hob and fig. 6 for
the grill):

Burner G20 20mbar G30 28-30mbar

G31 37mbar
Auxiliary 3 4
Semi-rapid 3 4
Rapid 4 6
Oven - ­ Grill 3 7

Check operation of the burner:

- Ignite the burner at maximum flame;

- the tongue of the flame must be clear and
with no yellow tip, and must adhere closely
to the burner. If too much air is supplied,
the flame detaches from the burner and
may be dangerous. If the air supply is in­sufficient, the flame has a yellow tip and
soot may form.

SETTING HOB BURNER MINIMUM LEV­ELS

If the cooker is to work on bottled gas (bu­tane/propane), the tap by-pass must be
screwed right down.
The cooker may be equipped with type A
taps, with by-pass inside (accessed by in­serting a small screwdriver into the rod) or
type B taps, with by-pass on the outside on
the right (accessed directly). See figure 7.
If the cooker is to work on natural gas, pro­ceed as follows for both types of tap:

- Ignite the burner at maximum flame;

- pull off the knob, without using a lever
against the control panel, which might be
damaged;

- access the by-pass with a small screwdriver
and back off by about 3 turns (turning the
screwdriver anti-clockwise);

30

GB

Installation

- turn the tap rod anti-clockwise again until it
stops: the burner will be at maximum flame;

- screw the by-pass slowly back in, without
pushing the screw-driver, until the flame has
apparently shrunk to 1/4 of the maximum
size, checking that it is sufficiently stable
even in quite strong draughts.

SETTING OVEN BURNER MINIMUM LEV­ELS

If the cooker is to work on bottled gas (bu­tane/propane), the thermostat by-pass must
be screwed right down.
If the cooker is to work on natural gas, pro­ceed as follows:

- Remove the oven bottom (push towards the
back and raise);

- ignite the oven burner, turning the knob
pointer to the maximum setting;

- shut the oven door;

- access the thermostat or tap by-pass (see
fig. 8);

- back off the thermostat by-pass by about 3
turns;

- after 5 or 6 minutes, turn the knob pointer
to the minimum setting;

- slowly re-tighten the by-pass, watching the
flame decrease in size through the window
in the closed oven door until the tongue of
the flame is about 4 mm long. Never keep
the flame too low. It must be stable even
when the oven door is opened or closed
quickly;

- turn off the burner and replace the oven
bottom.

turn the knob pointer to the "on" position;

- release the knob in this position and move
a burning match towards the burner; IT
MUST NOT IGNITE.

Time needed to excite the magnet during
ignition: 10 seconds approx.
Automatic tripping time, after flame has been
turned off: not more than 60 seconds for oven
and grill burners.

IMPORTANT

- Before doing any work inside the cooker,
disconnect the mains plug and shut the gas
tap.

- Never use matches to check the gas cir­cuit for leaks. If a specific control device is
not available, foam or very soapy water can
be used.

- When re-closing the hob, check that the
electrical wires of the spark plugs (if
present) are not close to the injectors, so
that they cannot run across them.

THE SAFETY DEVICE

The correct gap between the end of the ther­mocouple sensor and the burner is shown in
figures 5 and 6.
To check that the valve is working properly,
proceed as follows:

- ignite the burner and leave it to work for
about 3 minutes;

- turn off the burner by returning the knob to
off position ( );

- after 60 seconds for oven and grill burners,

HOW TO USE THE COOKER

VENTILATION

All gas cooking appliances produce heat and
moisture in the rooms where they are installed.
Take care to ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated; keep the ventilation openings unob­structed or install an extractor hood with fan.
In case of intensive or prolonged use,
additional ventilation may be required; open
a window, or increase the extractor fan power .

IGNITING THE HOB BURNERS

- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise
until it reaches the symbol on the control
panel (maximum flame position);

- at the same time, move a burning match
towards the burner head;

- to reduce the flame, turn the knob further
in the same direction until its pointer is against
the

symbol (minimum flame position).

IGNITING THE OVEN BURNER

- Open the oven door;

- press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to
the maximum flame position;

- move a burning match towards the hole in
the centre of the oven bottom and press
the knob right down (see fig. 10);

- look through the two holes in the sides of
the bottom to check that the burner has ig­nited, keeping the knob pressed down;

- after about 10 seconds, release the knob
and check that the burner remains on. Oth­erwise, repeat the operation.

IGNITING THE GRILL BURNER (GAS
GRILLS)

- Fit the control knob guard as shown in fig. 11;

- press the oven knob and turn it to the right
until it reaches the stop;

- move a burning match towards the perfo­rated burner pipe and press the knob right
down (see fig. 10);

- check that the burner has ignited, keeping
the knob pressed down;

- after about 10 seconds, release the knob and

check that the burner remains on. Otherwise,
repeat the operation.

IMPORTANT

- Difficulty in igniting burners is normal if the
cooker has been out of use for some time.
The air accumulated in the pipes will be
expelled in a few seconds;

- Never allow too much unburnt gas to flow
from the burners. If ignition is not achieved
within a relatively short time, repeat the pro­cedure after returning the knob to the off
position (

- when the oven and grill are lit for the first
time, a smell may be noticed and smoke
may come out of the oven. This is because
of the surface treatment and oily residues
on the burners.

SAFETY DEVICE

Burners equipped with this device have the
advantage that they are protected if they
accidentally go out. If this occurs, the supply
of gas to the burner concerned is automati­cally cut off, preventing the hazards deriving
from a leak of unburnt gas. The gas supply
must be cut off within no more than 60 sec­onds for the oven and grill burners.

HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS

Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner
type. The flames must not project beyond
the base of the pan. Recommended sizes:

- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8 cm

- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least
14 cm

- for rapid burners = pans of at least 22 cm.

N.B.: Never keep the knob at settings be­tween the maximum flame symbol and the
off position

HOW TO USE THE GAS OVEN

- After igniting the burner, leave the oven to
heat up for about 10 minutes;

- place the food for cooking in an ordinary oven
dish and place it on the chrome-plated shelf;

- place in the oven on the highest possible

32

For the user

runners, and turn the knob pointer to the
setting required;

- cooking can be observed through the window
in the door with the oven light on. This will
avoid opening and closing the door frequently,
unless oil or fat has to be added to the dish.

IMPORTANT: never place foods directly on
the drip tray for cooking; it is there only to
collect any drips of fat during grilling.

HOW TO USE THE GAS GRILL

- fit the knob guard (see fig. 11);

- ignite the burner and wait a few minutes to
allow it to warm up;

- place the foods on the chrome-plated shelf;

- insert on the highest runner;

- insert the drip tray on the bottom runner;

- gently close the oven door, resting it against
the knob guard;

- after a few minutes, turn the food to expose
the other side to the infrared radiation (the
cooking time depends on the type of food
and personal taste).

N.B.: the first time the grill is used smoke
will come out of the oven. Before inserting
foods for cooking, wait until any oil residues
on the burner have completely burnt away.
The grill must only be used at its full rated heat.

IMPORTANT: accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use! Keep children well
away.

The table below will serve as a guide; bear­ing in mind that cooking times and tempera­tures may vary depending on the type and
amount of foods cooked and personal taste.

If cooking temperatures are not as set, call
in an engineer to check the thermostat.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

- Always disconnect the power supply before
any work inside the oven or where live parts
may be accessed.

- Never use the warming compartment or gas
cylinder cupboard for storing inflammable
liquids or items which do not withstand heat,
such as wood, paper, aerosol cans,
matches, etc.

- Make frequent checks on the rubber con­nection hose, ensuring that it is well away
from hot surfaces, that there are no sharp
bends or kinks, and that it is in good condi­tion. The hose must be replaced at the lat­est at the indicated date and must be se­cured at both ends using a standard hose
clamp.

- If taps become stiff to operate over time,
contact the After-Sales service.

- Wash enamelled or chrome-plated parts
with soapy lukewarm water or non-abrasive
detergents. A metal brush may be used to
remove deposits from hob burners and
flame caps. Dry thoroughly.

- Never use abrasives to clean enamelled or
chrome-plated parts.

- Do not use too much water when washing
the hob. Take care that no water or other
substances enter the burner housing holes,
as this may be dangerous.

- The spark plugs for electric ignition must
be kept clean and dry; always check after
use, particularly if there have been drips or
overflows from pans.

- Never close glass lids until the hob burn­ers or hotplates have cooled completely; it
might shatter or crack.

- Never knock enamelled parts or ignition
spark plugs (where present).

- The main or wall gas tap should be turned
off when the cooker is not in use.

No liability is accepted for injury or damage
