Instructions for Installation

For a situation where the appliance is between two cupboards and the anti
tilt chain cannot be fitted we suggest securing by screwing through the both
sides of the cupboards into the sides of the cooker. The screws should be
fitted as follows. Position the oven between the cupboards in it's final
position, then mark the location of the pilot hole inside the cupboard. Refer
to the diagram below for the location of the pilot hole. Use 3.5mm diameter
drill bit to drill the pilot hole through the cupboard and both sides of the
cooker. Before drilling, check your measurements to ensure the pilot holes
are located within the range specified in the diagram. A drilled hole in the
side of the cooker which is outside the range specified may void the
warrantee. Inspect cupboards thoroughly before drilling to avoid damage to
electrical wires or gas lines. Fix two 12 gauge x 40mm long self tapping
screws through the pilot holes inside both cupboards and into the side of the
cooker.

Note! Screw length is based on cupboard thickness of 20mm, gap between
cupboard and oven of 10mm. Screw length could vary depending on
cupboard material thickness and gap between oven and cupboards.

Note! The screws must be accessible for removal if the cooker requires
service. Cupboards must not be built over these screws.

Instructions for Installation

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The appliance is fitted with an Australian approved 15 Amp flexible cord and plug
which must be connected to a correctly earthed socket outlet.
The manufacturer is not liable for any direct or indirect damage caused by faulty
installation or connection. It is therefore necessary that all installation and connec­tion operations are carried out by qualified personnel complying with the local and
general regulations in force.

CONNECTION OF THE FEEDING CABLE TO THE MAINS

Connect the feeding cable to a plug suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate
of the product. In case of a direct connection to the mains (cable without plug), it is
necessary to insert a suitable omnipolar switch before the appliance, with minimum
opening between contacts of 3 mm (the grounding wire should not be interrupted by
the switch).

Before connecting to the mains, make sure that:

• the electrical counter, the safety valve, the feeding line and the socket are ade-

quate towithstand the maximum load required (see rating plate).

• the supply system is regularly grounded, according to the regulations in force.

• the socket or the omnipolar switch can easily be reached

after the installation of the oven

• after carrying out the connection to the mains, check that the

supplying cable does not come into contact with parts
subject to heating.

• never use reductions, shunts, adaptors which can cause

overheating or burning.

The manufacturer is not liable for any direct or indirect
damage caused by faulty installation or connection. It is therefore necessary
that all installation and connection operations are carried out by qualified per­sonnel complying with the local and general regulations in force.

Instructions for Installation

This appliance shall be installed only by authorised persons and in accordance with
the manufacturer's installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal
building codes, electrical wiring regulations, local water supply regulations, AS
5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations and any other statutory regulations.

Ventilation

V entilation must be in accordance with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In gene­ral, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas,
proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate surroundings within safe
limits.

Combustible Surfaces

Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob burner
must be a suitable non-combustible material for a height of 150mm for the entire
length of the hob. Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at least
600mm above the top of the burner and no construction shall be within 450mm
above the top of the burner. Zero clearance is permitted on side and rear adjoining
surfaces below the hob.

Gas connection

The appliance must be connected to the gas supply or the cylinder according to the
specifications of the standards and after checking that it is adjusted for the type of
gas available.

The gas connection is male 1/2” BSP and is situated 55mm from the right and
565mm from the floor. There are two ways to carry out the connection to the main
gas line:

A. The Cooker can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1.
B. The cooker can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS

1869 (AGAApproved), 10mm ID, class B or D, between 1 - 1.2m long and in accor­dance with AS5601 for a high level connection. The hose should not be subjected to
abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected
along its entire length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and
connections tested for gas leaks. The fixed consumer piping outlet should be at
approximately the same height as the cooker connection point, pointing downwards
and approximately 150mm to the side of the cooker . The hose should be clear of the
floor when the cooker is in the installed position. Fix one end of the chain on the
screw next to the gas inlet connection and the other end should be anchored to the
floor/wall so that the chain prevents strain on the hose connections when he cooker
is pulled forward.

The appliance is factory set for Natural gas. The test point pressure should be adju­sted to 1.00kPa with the Wok burner operating at maximum.

11

Instructions for Installation

The appliance is set up to operate with the gas specified on the gas type label pla­ced on the back of the appliance.

When the type of gas available does not correspond to that for which the appliance
is set up, replace the corresponding injectors (provided), being careful to put on the
new data label (provided) and remove the old one.

To perform these operations the qualified installer will follow the indications given in
the "Adaptation to the various types of gas" section. For safer operation make sure
that the supply pressure respects the values given in the "Table of burner and injec­tor characteristics".
If installing for use with propane gas, ensure an AGA Approved gas regulator suita­ble for a supply pressure of 2.75kPa is part of the gas tank supply and the test point
pressure is adjusted to 2.75kPa.

Once the appliance has been installed, make sure that the gas pipe is neither squa­shed or damaged by moving parts.

Before Leaving - Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water . DO NOT
use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and sepa­rately to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps
to low flame position and observe stability of the flame for each burner individually
and separately. When satisfied with the operation of the cooker, please instruct the
user on the correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate cor­rectly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider
in your area.

Adaptation to different types of gas

To adapt the appliance to a gas different from that for which

it was set up (see gas type label inside the warming
compartment door) proceed as follows:

• remove the grids

• remove the burners caps and burner heads

• with a 7 mm socket spanner unscrew and remove the injec­tors.

• replace the injectors with those supplied corresponding to the
gas available (see burner and injector characteristics Table)

• replace the various parts proceeding in reverse.

When converting from Natural Gas to Propane ensure that the
NG regulator is removed and replaced with the Test Point

12

Instructions for Installation

Assembly. Agas regulator suitable for a supply pressure of 2.75kPa should be part
of the gas tank supply and the test point pressure should be adjusted to 2.75kPa.

Replace the old data plate with one that is suitable for the type of gas for which the
appliance has been converted.

Setting the minimum flame

The flame on the small output is regulated in the factory. When the injectors have
been replaced or there are special mains pressure conditions, it may be necessary
to regulate the minimum again. The operations necessary to perform this operation
are the following:

• light the burner

• turn the knob to the minimum position

• take out the knob (and gasket if there is one)

• using a suitably sized screwdriver turn the regulation
screw inside or by the side (for safety valve version)
of the tap shaft until a small regular flame is obtai­ned

• put the knob back on and turn it quickly from the
maximum position to the minimum position,
checking that the flame does not go out

• for burners with safety valve make sure that the
regulation obtained is sufficient to maintain heating of the thermocouple. If it is not,
increase the minimum.

THE BURNERS REQUIRE NO REGULATION OF THE PRIMARY AIR.

ABNORMAL OPERATION

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ABNORMALOPE­RATION AND MAY REQUIRE SERVICING:

• Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

• Sooting up of cooking utensils.

• Burners not igniting properly.

• Burners failing to remain alight.

• Burners extinguished by oven door.

• Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.

IN CASE THE APPLIANCE F AILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, CONTACT
THE AUTHORISED SERVICE PROVIDER IN YOUR AREA.

The control panel houses the knobs for operation of the gas burner.

IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS

In order to ignite a burner, it is necessary to depress the knob while rotating it anti­clockwise, till the index is aligned with the position corresponding to the maximum
gas delivery (i.e. the large flame symbol). As far as the

models equipped with a safety valve are concerned, once
the flame is lit hold the knob depressed for about 3-4
seconds till the device keeps the burner automatically lit.

If the burner fails to ignite wait one minute for the gas to
dissipate before attempting to reignite. At this moment it is

possible to adjust the flame intensity by rotating the knob
anticlockwise from such maximum position to the minimum

one (i.e. the small flame symbol).
In order to turn the burner off, rotate the knob clockwise bringing the index back to
the position corresponding to the closure symbol ( ).

RECOMMENDATIONS

In case of electric power failure, it is necessary to carry out the above-described ope­rations by putting a gas lighter or a flame near the burner (in such an event, pay the
utmost attention not to burn yourself).
The safety valve (for models where such item is provided) intervenes in case of acci­dental flame failure, blocking the gas delivery (e.g.: air draughts, spillage of liquids,
etc.).
In any case, the ignition device must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds.
Should the ignition manoeuvre fail, or should the burner be accidentally turned off,
immediately close the actuation knob and repeat the ignition after one minute at
least.
Once the ignition has taken place, adjust the flame according to your needs.

Advice on the use of gas burners

For lower gas consumption and a better yield, use saucepans with diameter suita­ble for the burners, avoiding the flame coming up round the side of the saucepan
(see the Container Table). Use only flat-bottomed pans.
As soon as a liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to maintain
boiling.
During cooking, when using fats and oils, be very careful because if they overheat
they could catch fire.

21

Instructions for Cooking

OVEN COOKINGS

For a perfect cooking it is necessary
to pre-heat the oven to the preset
cooking temperature. Only very fat
meat can be placed into a cold oven.
To minimse food splashes into the
oven (which can sometimes produce
smoke) deep baking dishes are
recommended.Use instead high­edged containers, preferably terra­cotta containers, put on the grate at
about half the height of the oven. The
table shows some examples of how to set the thermostat and the cooking time. The
cooking times vary according to the type of food, its homogeneity and volume. We
are sure that, after a few endeavours, the experience will suggest possible variations
to the values shown on the table.

Practical hints to save energy

The oven can be switched off some minutes before cooking end; the residual tem­perature is enough to complete cooking. Open the oven door only when it is abso­lutely necessary; to check the cooking phase, look through the glass (the oven lamp
is always on).

General Advice

The oven offers various kinds of heating:

• the traditional heating for the cooking of special roasts

• the fan forced heating for the cooking of cakes, biscuits and similar.

If thefan forced cooking is chosen, it is recommended to take advantage of it for
cooking of roasts on more shelves or for the preparation of complete menus, with
time and energy economy.

Fan Assisted

A continuous circulation of warm air is created, which allows food to be placed and
cooked on different shelves at the same time. The oven will reach the preset tem­perature in a very short time.

Traditional cooking

It is especially suitable for the cooking of meats/poultry that requires long, slow
cooking as well as for the cooking of bread and sponge cakes.
It is advisable to insert the food to be cooked into the oven when this is reached the
cooking temperature, that is to say when the pilot light of the termostat estinguishes.

22

Instructions for Cooking

GRILL COOKINGS

Delete, pre-heat the oven for about 5 minutes. During grill operation the heat comes
from above; it is based on the infrared radiation and is fit for low thickness meat and
for toasts. The meat and the fish to be grilled are to be slightly oiled and always pla­ced on the grate; this is to be arranged on the nearest or on the farthest guide from
the grill element, according to the thickness of the meat to be cooked. The table
shows some examples of cooking times and food positions. The cooking times vary
according to the type of food, its homogeneity and volume.

COOKING PASTRY

The air circulation of the oven assures an instantaneous and uniform heat distribu­tion. The pre-warmed of the oven is no longer necessary. However for specially deli­cate pastry the oven can be pre-warmed. More trays can be inserted into the oven
together with the pastries, taking care not to use the first grid starting from above.

GRATINATING

By this term is meant the surface alteration of food, often pre-cooked, when, after
being introduced into the oven, it takes a golden-brown and crisp aspect. “Gnocchi
alla romana”, polenta pasticciata”, rice, lasagnas, noodles and vegetables dressed
with bechamel are typical preparation for this type of cooking.

COOKING TIMES

The table shows some examples for the adjustment of the thermostat and of the
cooking time. The cooking times can vary according to the type of food, and volu­me. We are sure that, after a few endeavours, the experience will suggest possible
variations to the values shown on the table.

REMARK:

• The times indicated in the table refer to the cooking of one portion only; for

more than one portion, the cooking times should be increased by 5 - 10
minutes.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Do not use jet of steam for cleaning.

Before any operation disconnect the appliance electrically. Wash the enamelled
parts with lukewarm water and detergent. Do not use abrasive products.
Wash the burner spreader frequently with boiling water and detergent being sure to
remove any deposits which could block the flame outlet. Rinse the stainless steel
parts well with water and dry them with a soft cloth.
To clean the hob use slightly damp sponges and wiping cloths: if too much water is
used it could penetrate the internal parts and damage electrical parts.
The grids of the hob can be washed in the dishwasher.
For persistent stains use normal non-abrasive detergents, specific products com­monly available on the market or a little hot vinegar. Clean the glass parts with hot
water, avoiding the use of rough cloths.
Do not use stainless steel pads or acids for cleaning.
To prevent lighting difficulties, carefully clean the ligh­ting spark plugs regularly (ceramic and electrode).
Periodically , or if the knobs become dif ficult to turn, con­tact a qualified engineer to lubricate the taps.
Contact a qualified engineer to deal with any other pro­blems which may arise during use.

To keep the characteristics of brightness of the enamelled parts for a long time it is
necessary to clean the oven after each cooking. Once the oven is cold, you will be
able to easily remove the fat deposits by means of a sponge or a cloth damp with
warm soapy water and eventually a detergent to be found on the market. Never use
abrasive cloths or sponges, that could irreparably damage the enamel. On white
ovens even the parts of the dash board such as handgrip and knob have to be clea­ned each time because they may become yellow due to the emissions of fat
vapours.

ALWAYS CLEAN THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANY FOOD SPILLAGE.
TO MAINTAIN SAFE OPERATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PRODUCT

BE INSPECTED EVERY FIVE YEARS BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE PERSON.

Ovens with facility to lower grill for cleaning purposes

1 Warning: ensure that all controls are in the “OFF”

position and wait for the grill element cooling.

2 Support the front of the grill element while you

remove the knurled screw retaining the element.

3 Lower the front of the element carefully to the rest

position.

4 When cleaning the oven take care to not apply

any forces to the grill element

5 When the cleaning is complete, carefully remove

any cleaning chemicals and water from the grill element.

6 Carefully raise the front of the element into position and secure with the knur-

led screw.

NEVER USE THE OVEN WITH THE GRILL ELEMENT HANGING DOWN!

Important. In case of burners removal for cleaning purposes, we recom-

mend to make sure that all parts are correctly positioned before igniting the
burners again.

THE GRIDS OF THE COOKING PLANE ARE EQUIPPED WITH SUITABLE
RUBBER PADS, WHOSE PURPOSE IS BOTH PROVIDING BETTER STABI­LITY AND AVOIDING SCRATCHES ON THE PLANE SURFACES DURING
USAGE.

AFTER A POSSIBLE GRID REMOVAL FOR CLEANING AND/OR MAINTE­NANCE NEEDS, WE RECOMMEND TO VERIFYTHE PRESENCE OF SUCH
RUBBER PADS AND TO PUT THE GRIDS BACK IN THEIR STABLE AND
CENTRED CORRECT POSITION.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the oven door

Unhooking the doors.

1. Set the oven's door wide open.

2. Lift the hinge jumpers by your thumb and index fingers, then turn them fully
outwards to the end of stroke (Fig.A).

3. Turn the door towards the closure position and lay it on the jumpers: in this
way the hinge's spring results as blocked. By fully closing the door the hin­ges are unhooked from the connection slits which are integral with the oven's
muffle (sequence 1,2,3 of fig.B).

Hooking the doors

1. Insert the door by hooking the hinges to the connection slits set on the muffle

front.

2. Fully open the door when inserted, then push and turn the cross connections

which fasten the springs full scale in the oven direction.

3. Close the door and check its correct operation.

Replacing the oven bulb

Once the oven has been electrically disconnected, unscrew
the glass protection cap and the bulb, replacing it with another
one suitable for high temperatures (300°C / E14). Reassemble
the glass cap and reconnect the oven.
