HOB OPERATION

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame
down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and a
thermocouple safety device, which automatically cuts off
the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame
accidentally goes out during operation.
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being
used. Each burner can be regulated with the corresonding
control knob "M" by using one of the following settings:

Off
High flame
Low flame

The symbols near the knobs show the position of the
relative burner on the hob.

To ignite a burner, proceed as follows:

• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer
is on the high-flame symbol;

• press the knob down fully and activate the automatic
gas ignition by pushing at the same time the button "P"

marked with the symbol ;

• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with
the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;

• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it
is not, repeat the operation.

For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply
putting the knob anywhere between the high and the low
flame symbol. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise
to the off position " " .

Important:

• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more
than 15 consecutive seconds.

• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the
gas duct.

• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues
to exit for a few moments before the safety device
activates. Turn the control knob to the of f position and do
not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby
letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a
danger.

• When the appliance is not in operation, check that the
knobs are in the off position " " . The main gas supply
cut-off cock should also be closed.

The hob is fitted with a pan reducing support (fig.1), which
should only be used on the auxiliary burner "A"

fig.1

MULTI-FUNCTION OVEN

The oven offers nine combinations of heating elements; so
the most suitable combination may therefore be chosen
for each dish, with convincing results.

By turning the selector knob “G” marked with the symbol

, different cooking modes are obtained, as shown in

the following table:

Using the burners

To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is
advisable to only use pans with a diameter suitable for the
burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond
the pan base (see following table).

renruB .mcninapehtforetemaiD

AyrailixuA41ot6morf

Bdipar-imeS02ot51morf

CdipaR03ot12morf

DgnirelpirT03ot42morf

• For traditional cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in

conventional mode use the mode (hot above +

below).
Only put the food to be cooked into the oven when it has
reached the selected temperature and preferably use just
one shelf for cooking.
To provide heat only to the bottom or the top part of the

dishes, turn the selector to the position (hot below)
or (hot below + fan) or (hot above);

3

• With this (fan assisted)mode heat is transmitted to
the food through pre-heated air made to circulate inside

the oven by a fan. The oven heats up very quickly so the
food to be cooked may be put into the oven as soon as it
is switched on. Cooking is also possible simultaneously
on two shelves.

• The “fast defrosting“ function uses no heating
elements, just the oven light and the fan.

• Grill operation: a high heat output is used for grilling, so
that the surface of the food is immediately browned; this
is particularly indicated for meats which should remain
tender on the inside. To grill, turn the selector knob "G" to

one of these positions: (grill), (maxigrill),
(maxigrill + fan)

During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to above
200 °C and keep the oven door closed.

Oven light

The oven light comes on automatically when the selector
knob is turned to any of its positions.

Minute minder "T"

This is a buzzer timer situated on the control panel and is
suitable for timing up to a max. of 60 minutes.

Indicator light "S"

(figure a on page 2) It indicates that the oven is heating up.
When the light goes out, the required temperature has been
reached inside the oven.
When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means
that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven
temperature.

Spit - Rotisserie

Insert the meat to be cooked along the length of the spit
rod, securing it with the special adjustable forks (fig. 2).
Introduce the supports “A” and “B” (fig. 3) into the holes in
the drip tray “E”, rest the rod groove on the seat “C” and
insert the oven rack into the lowest guide of the oven; now
insert the spit rod into the relative hole, moving the groove
forward into seat “D” . Start the rotisserie by turning the

selector knob to one of the following positions:

Turn the knob with the symbol until the pointer is aligned
with the required time. When the set time has elapsed, a

buzzer sounds (it does not turn the oven off).
It is advisable to turn the knob to 60 and then back to the
time required, even if this is less than 60 minutes.
See pages 5-6 for the cooking times and temperatures
required for different foods.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Important: The appliance should be disconnected from
the mains supply before starting cleaning operations.

To ensure a long life cycle for the appliance, it is essential
to carry out a thorough general clean frequently, while
observing the following instructions:

Inside the oven door:

Clean the surface with a cloth moistened with hot water
and non abrasive liquid detergent, then rinse and dry
thoroughly.

Inside the oven:

• The inside of your oven is coated with a special self­cleaning microporous enamel glaze which, at a normal
cooking temperature of between 200 and 300°C, oxidises
and completely eliminates all grease spots or other
substances that inevitably attack the inner walls of the
oven. This way , cleaning is kept right down to a minimum:
as a matter of fact, you just need to rub the surfaces of
the oven with a wet cloth regularly, after cooking, to
remove the thin layer of ash that may have been deposited
during cooking, in order to maintain the self-cleaning
property of the oven intact.

fig.2

• After cooking where liquid has overflowed or when the
dirt has not been eliminated completely (for example when
grilling food, and the temperatures reached are not high
enough for the full self-cleaning action of the enamel to
be performed), we recommend you leave the oven on at
maximum temperature so that all grease residue and
the like are eliminated.

• If, after long-term use, you find evident grease stains
deposited on the self-cleaning oven walls, probably due
to your failing to follow the above maintenance advice,
clean the surfaces thoroughly with hot water and a soft
cloth (do not use any detergents), then rinse and dry
thoroughly.

• Do not remove any dry caked-on grease using sharp
objects, as these could etch the self-cleaning coating.

• If the self-cleaning surfaces inside the oven are damaged
or worn, due to incorrect or poor maintenance or after
many years of use, you can request a kit of self-cleaning
panels to line the inside of the oven. To order these, just
contact an authorised Service Centre.

fig.3

4

FIG. 3

Oven exterior:

• Only clean the appliance when the oven is cold.

• The steel parts and especially the areas with the screen­printed symbols should not be cleaned with solvents or
abrasive detergents. It is advisable to use only a damp
cloth with lukewarm water and washing up liquid.
Stainless steel may remain stained if in long-term contact
with very calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containing phosphorus).
It is therefore always necessary to rinse and dry all
surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.

Important: cleaning operations must be made
horizontally, in the direction of the steel glazing.

• After cleaning, any treatments to polish the surfaces may
be performed: only use specific products for stainless
steel.

Important: do not use abrasive powders, aggressive
detergents or acidic substances for cleaning.

Hob:

• The removable parts of the burners on the hob should be
washed frequently with warm water and soap, making
sure to remove any caked-on substances. Check that
the gas outlet slits are not clogged. Dry the burners
carefully before using them again.

FIG. 4

Removing/remounting the door

The oven door is removable for easier access to oven for
cleaning. Proceed as follows (fig.3-4):

• fully open the door;

• push the door downwards and simultaneously keep the
levers “B” of the 2 hinges lightly pressed down, as shown
in figure 3;

• with the 2 levers “B” always pressed down, start closing
the door until the levers are released internally from the
2 arms “C”. Keeping the 2 lower arms “A” raised, now
pull out the door as shown in figure 4.

To remount the door:

• with the door in a vertical position, insert the 2 upper
arms “B” into the upper slits, then lower the door and
insert the 2 lower arms “A” into the lower slits.

• make sure that the housing “D” is perfectly connected
with the edge of the slit (move the door slightly back
and forth);

• push the door downwards as far as it will go, then close.

Greasing the taps

As time passes, a tap may lock or become difficult to turn.
In this case it will be necessary to clean inside and replace
the grease. This procedure must be performed by a

technician authorized by the manufacturer.
Changing the oven lightbulb

Make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the
electricity supply.
Unscrew the glass protective cover from inside the oven,
unscrew the lightbulb and replace it with an identical one
suitable for high temperatures (300°C) and with the following
characteristics:

- Voltage 230 V

- Wattage 15 W

- Type E 14.

• Clean the end part of the automatic glow plug ignitors of
the hob and gas oven frequently.

INSTALLATION

fig.5

fig.4

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers
so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and
technical maintenance operations correctly and in
compliance with current regulations and standards.

Important: the appliance should be disconnected from
the mains electricity supply before any adjustment,
maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should

be used should it be necessary to keep the appliance
connected to the electricity supply. The cookers have the
following technical specifications:

Category: II 2H3+ Class: 1

The dimensions of the appliance are given in the figure on
page 2. For trouble-free operation of appliances installed in
housing units, the minimum distances shown in fig.4 should
be observed. Adjacent surfaces and the wall at the rear
should also be able to withstand an overheating temperature
of 65 °C. Prior to installing the cooker, 95 ÷ 155 mm high
supporting feet (provided) should be fitted into the holes to
be found in the bottom of the cooker (fig.5). These feet are
screw-adjustable and whenever necessary should be used
to make sure the cooker stands level.

Positioning

This appliance may only be installed and operated in
permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current
standards. The following requirements must be observed:

• The appliance must discharge combustion products into
a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney,
flue pipe or directly to the outside (fig.6).

• If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan
is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external
wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the
appliance.

fig.6

In a chimney stack or branched flue Directly to the outside
(exclusively for cooking appliances)

Kitchen ventilation

The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed
must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular
combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room.
Air must be taken in naturally through permanent apertures
made in the outside walls of the room or through single or
branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with
current standards and regulations. The air must be taken
directly from the outside, from an area far from sources of
pollution. The ventilation aperture must have the following
characteristics (fig.7A):

• total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm² for
every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with
a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated
on the rating plate);

• it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on
the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;

• it must be protected, e.g. with grates, wire mesh, etc. in
such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not
reduced;

• it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

Detail A Adjacent Room to be

room ventilated

A

Examples of ventilation holes Enlarging the ventilation slot

for comburant air between window and floor

fig. 7A fig. 7B

The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room,
provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there
is a risk of fire, such as warehouses, garages, fuel stores,
etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the current
standards and regulations. Air from the adjoining room to
the one to be ventilated may be made to pass freely through
permanent apertures with a cross section at least equal to
that indicated above. These apertures may also be obtained
by increasing the gap between the door and the floor
(fig.7B). If an electric fan is used for extracting the
combustion products, the ventilation aperture must be
increased in relation to its maximum performance. The
electric fan should have a sufficient capacity to guarantee
an hourly exchange of air equal to 3 ÷ 5 times the volume
of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance
may require extra ventilation, e.g. an open window or a
more efficient ventilation system by increasing the
extraction power of the electric fan if installed. Liquid
petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is heavier
than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms containing
LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level, in order to
allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not store LPG
cylinders (even when empty) in basements or rooms below
ground level; it is advisable to keep only the cylinder in use
in the room at any one time and connected far from heat
sources which could raise its temperature to above 50 °C.

Gas supply connection

• Check that the appliance is set for the type of gas available
and then connect it to the mains gas piping or the gas
cylinder in compliance with current regulations and
standards.

• This appliance is designed and set to work with the gas
indicated on the label situated on the actual hob. If the
gas supply is other than the type for which the appliance
has been set, proceed with replacing the corresponding
nozzles (provided), following instructions given in the
paragraph “Adaptation to different types of gas”.

• For trouble-free operation, suitable use of energy and
longer life of the appliance, make sure that the supply
pressure complies with the values indicated in the table 1
"burners and nozzles specifications, otherwise install a
special pressure regulator on the supply pipe in
compliance with current standards and regulations.

• Connect in such a way that the appliance is subjected to
no strain whatsoever.

Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the
standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple
union (threaded ½"G male fitting) situated at the rear of the
appliance to the right (fig.8), or flexible steel pipe in
compliance with the standards in force, which must not
exceed 2000 mm in length. Should it be necessary to turn
the fitting, the gasket (supplied with the appliance) must be
replaced. Upon completion of installation, check the gas
circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using
a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the
connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts
which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural
gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance
when all the burners are lit
Important: A pressure regulator, in compliance with the
standards in force, must be inserted when connecting to a
liquid gas supply (in a cylinder).

fig.8

Adaptation to a different type of gas

If the appliance is to be converted for use with a type of
gas other than that for which it was set in the factory
(indicated on the label to be found on the hob), the burner
nozzles should be replaced as follows:

• remove the grids and the burners.

• Unscrew the nozzles "A" (fig.9), using a 7 mm socket
wrench and replace them, according to the table 1
"burners and nozzles specifications", with ones suitable
for the new type of gas.

• On completing the operation, replace the old rating label
with the one showing the new type of gas; the sticker is
available from our Service Centres.

• Re-assemble all the components.

fig.9

fig.10

Adjusting the low flame

• Put the tap to the low flame position (the burner should
be lit);

• Remove the tap knob and turn the adjusting screw,
situated to the side of the tap stem (fig.10) until you obtain
a regular small flame, using a screwdriver (loosening
the screw increases the height of the flame, tightening
decreases it).

N.B. : the adjusting screw must be fully screwed down for

liquid gas.

• Having obtained the low flame setting required and with
the burner lit, abruptly change the position of the knob
several times from minimum to maximum and vice versa
and check that the flame does not go out.

• Refit the tap knobs

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The appliance is designed to work with alternating current
at the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating
plate (situated on the rear part of the appliance and on the
last page of the instruction booklet) or at the end of the
instruction booklet. Make sure that the local supply voltage
corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate.

ATTENTION: This appliance has a maximum power
exeeding 3kW; it is therefore necessary for it to be
connected to a socket able to support a rated current
higher than 13A (the appliance rated current is 15A).
Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity
supply A 13. A plug in compliance whit BS 1362 is not
suitable.

all. Before calling customer services for assistance, let's
see what can be done.
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in
the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the
gas valves for the mains are open.

The burner does not light or the flame is not uniform
around the burner.

Check to make sure that:

• The gas holes on the burner are not clogged.

• All the movable parts that make up the burner are
mounted correctly.

• There are no draughts around the appliance.

• Do not use steam cleaners to clean your oven

The flame does not stay lit.

Check to make sure that:
