Introduction

Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.

To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.

The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,

this will cease after a period of use.

When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Installation of the cooker

For a correct installation of the cooker the following precautions must be followed:

The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm - 930mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the product into position.

NOTE: This appliance must not be fitted on a platform.

The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in a corner setting. It can also be used free-standing. Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm. (Fig.A)

a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or

shower room.

b) The hoods must be installed according to the requirements in the hood handbook. c) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must be of flameproof material. d) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be attached to a hook, secured to the wall behind the

appliance. Note: some models can have their gas connection inverted. It is important to make sure the safety chain is always situated on the side which corresponds to the hose holder (Fig. B).

Gas connection

The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.

HOT PARTS

600 mm

Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection

must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas inlet for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.

Connecting the gas supply

To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:

• the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;

• the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;

• the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow

curves or bottlenecks;

• the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;

• the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.

Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.

Important: Before using the oven, position the oven burner deflector "A" (provided with the appliance) in the correct place by inserting the lower tab into the support slot (see figure).

Disposing of the appliance

When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described above.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:

a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

b) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:

• remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;

• unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of

gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

• replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.

c) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:

•

turn the tap to minimum;

• remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw, which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady. N.B.: in the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be screwed in to the bottom.

• check that the flame does not turn off when you turn the tap quickly from high to low.

d) Regulating the primary air of the burners: The primary air of the burners requires no regulation.

Adapting to different types of gas

In order to adapt the oven to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was manufactured (indicated on the label), follow these simple steps: a) Replacing the oven burner nozzle

• open the oven door fully

• pull out the sliding oven bottom

• unscrew the burner fastening screws

• remove screw “V” and then the oven burner;

• Unscrew the oven burner nozzle using the socket spanner for the nozzles “Z”, or a 7 mm socket spanner,

and replace it with a nozzle suited to the new type of gas (see Table 1).

Take particular care handling the spark plug wires and the thermocouple pipes.

• Replace all the parts, following the steps described above in the reverse order.

b) Minimum regulation of the gas oven burner with thermostat:

• light the burner as described in the paragraph “the oven knob” of the instruction booklet.

• turn the knob to Max for about 10 minutes and then turn the knob to the Min setting;

• remove the knob;

• regulate the screw positioned outside the thermostat pin until the flame is small but steady.

N.B.: in the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be screwed in to the bottom.

• check that the burner does not turn off when you turn the knob from Max to Min and and when you open

and close the oven door quickly.

Adapting the gas grill to different types of gas

Replacing the nozzle of the grill burner:

• remove the screw and then slide out the grill burner “V” (see Fig. E);

• unscrew the grill burner nozzle using the special socket spanner for the nozzles (see Fig. F) or better still

a 7 mm socket spanner; replace the nozzle with a nozzle for the new type of gas (see table 1).
