Installation
GB
Before operating your new appliance please read
this instruction booklet carefully. It contains
important information concerning the safe installation
and operation of the appliance.
Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept
with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
The appliance must be installed by a qualified
professional according to the instructions provided.
Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected
from the electricity supply.
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanentlyventilated rooms, according to current national
legislation. The room in which the appliance is
installed must be ventilated adequately so as to
provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas
combustion process (the flow of air must not be
lower than 2 m
3
/h per kW of installed power).
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a
duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm
2
and should be positioned so that they are not liable
to even partial obstruction (see figure A).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a
minimum of 200 cm
2
- whenever the surface of the
hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety
device. When the flow of air is provided in an
indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B),
provided that these are not communal parts of a
building, areas with increased fire hazards or
bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a
ventilation duct leading outside as described above.
Adjacent room
A
B
Room requiring
ventilation
Disposing of combustion fumes
The disposal of combustion fumes should be
guaranteed using a hood connected to a safe and
efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric
fan that begins to operate automatically every time
the appliance is switched on (see figure).
Fumes channelled
straight outside
Fumes channelled through
a chimney or a branched
flue system (reserved for
cooking appliances)
The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air
and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms
containing LPG cylinders must have openings
leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape
easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or
completely full, must not be installed or stored in
rooms or storage areas that are below ground level
(cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should
be stored in the room; this should also be kept well
away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys,
stoves) that may cause the temperature of the
cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
It is possible to install the appliance alongside
cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the
hob surface.
Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of
the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heatresistant material (T 90°C).
A
Ventilation opening for
comburent air
Increase in the gap
between the door and
the flooring
After prolonged use of the appliance, it is
advisable to open a window or increase the speed of
any fans used.
To install the appliance correctly:
Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bed-
sit (not in the bathroom).
If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards,
the appliance must be installed at least 200 mm
away from them.
If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet,
there must be a minimum distance of 420 mm
between this cabinet and the top of the hob.
This distance should be increased to 700 mm if the
wall cabinets are flammable (see figure).

by authorised technicians only.
The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.
GB
Levelling
If it is necessary to level the
appliance, screw the
adjustable feet into the places
provided on each corner of the
base of the cooker (see
figure).
The legs* fit into the slots on
the underside of the base of
the cooker.
Electrical connections
Install a standardised plug corresponding to the
load indicated on the appliance data plate (see
Technical data table).
The appliance must be directly connected to the
mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a
minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between
the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker
must be suitable for the charge indicated and must
comply with NFC 15-100 regulations (the earthing
wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker).
The supply cable must be positioned so that it does
not come into contact with temperatures higher than
50°C at any point.
Before connecting the appliance to the power
supply, make sure that:
The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
The socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated by the data plate.
The voltage is in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate.
The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it.
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
* Only available in certain models.
Gas connection
Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder
may be carried out using a flexible rubber or steel
hose, in accordance with current national legislation
and after making sure that the appliance is suited to
the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see
the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case
see below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder,
install a pressure regulator which complies with
current national regulations. To make connection
easier, the gas supply may be turned sideways*:
reverse the position of the hose holder with that of
the cap and replace the gasket that is supplied with
the appliance.
Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in the Table of burner and
nozzle specifications (see below). This will ensure the
safe operation and durability of your appliance while
maintaining efficient energy consumption.
Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose
Make sure that the hose complies with current
national legislation. The internal diameter of the hose
must measure: 8 mm for liquid gas supply; 13 mm
for methane gas supply.
Once the connection has been performed, make
sure that the hose:
Does not come into contact with any parts that
reach temperatures of over 50°C.
Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and
that it is not kinked or bent.
Does not come into contact with blades, sharp
corners or moving parts and that it is not
compressed.
Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that
its condition may be checked.
Is shorter than 1500 mm.
Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be
fixed using clamps that comply with current
regulations.
4
GB
If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or
if the cooker must be installed according to the
conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances
(installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel
hose must be used instead (see below).
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel
pipe to a threaded attachment
Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with
current national legislation.
To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on
the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance
is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).
In the case of natural gas, the adjustment screw
must be unscrewed by turning it anti-clockwise.
3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position
of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa
several times, checking that the flame is not
extinguished.
Perform the connection in such a way that the hose
length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres,
making sure that the hose is not compressed and
does not come into contact with moving parts.
Checking the connection for leaks
When the installation process is complete, check
the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution.
Never use a flame.
Adapting to different types of gas
It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas
other than the default type (this is indicated on the
rating label on the cover).
Adapting the hob
Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off
their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using
a 7 mm socket spanner (see
figure), and replace them with
nozzles suited to the new type
of gas (see Burner and nozzle
specifications table).
3. Replace all the components
by following the above instructions in reverse.
The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
After adjusting the appliance so it may be used
with a different type of gas, replace the old rating
label with a new one that corresponds to the new
type of gas (these labels are available from
Authorised Technical Assistance Centres).
Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary
slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable
pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet hose in
accordance with current national regulations relating
to regulators for channelled gas.
Adjusting the hob burners minimum setting:
1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory
screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap
pin, until the flame is small but steady.

Cooking modes
A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the
GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power
level is recommended.
STATIC OVEN mode
=
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is
best to use one cooking rack only. if more than one
rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
OVEN BOTTOM mode
O
The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of
dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on
the surface but require further cooking in the centre,
or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which
only require moderate colouring on the surface. It
should be noted that this function does not allow the
maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven
(250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that
foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you
are baking cakes (which should be baked at a
temperature of 180°C or lower).
GRILL mode
?
The top heating element is activated. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender.
@
DOUBLE GRILL mode
The top heating element is activated. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high
surface temperature: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
fillets, hamburgers etc...
The GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must
be performed with the oven door shut.
Timer*
To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction "
for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction
# to set the desired length of time.
Lower compartment*
There is a compartment
underneath the oven
that may be used to
store oven accessories
or deep dishes. To open
the door pull it
downwards (see
figure).
Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
compartment.
The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.
Practical advice on using the electric
hotplates
To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use
pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less
than that of the hotplate itself.

Before using the hotplates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans
on them. During this initial stage, their protective
coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
Practical cooking advice
In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease).
GRILL
Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
We recommend that the power level is set to
maximum. The top heating element is regulated
by a thermostat and may not always operate
constantly.
PIZZA
Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as
it prevents the crust from forming by extending
the total cooking time.
If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.

Precautions and tips
GB
! The appliance was designed and manufactured in
compliance with international safety standards.
The following warnings are provided for safety
reasons and must be read carefully.
General safety
These instructions are only valid for the countries
whose symbols appear in the manual and on the
serial number plate.
The appliance was designed for domestic use
inside the home and is not intended for
commercial or industrial use.
The appliance must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous
to leave the appliance exposed to rain and
storms.
Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with
wet or damp hands and feet.
The appliance must be used by adults only for the
preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions provided in this booklet (the
instructions apply to all countries listed at the
beginning of the booklet).
The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1
(insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed
between 2 cupboards) appliance.
Keep children away from the oven.
Make sure that the power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact
with the hot parts of the oven.
The openings used for the ventilation and
dispersion of heat must never be covered.
Do not close the glass hob cover (selected
models only) when the burners are alight or when
they are still hot.
Always use oven gloves when placing cookware
in the oven or when removing it.
Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol,
etc...) near the appliance while it is in use.
Do not place flammable material in the lower
storage compartment or in the oven itself. If the
appliance is switched on accidentally, it could
catch fire.
Always make sure the knobs are in the position
and that the gas tap is closed when the appliance
is not in use.
When unplugging the appliance, always pull the
plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the
cable.
Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having disconnected the appliance from
the electricity mains.
If the appliance breaks down, under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the
appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or further
malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact
Assistance.
Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
Disposal
When disposing of packaging material: observe
local legislation so that the packaging may be
reused.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) states that household appliances should
not be disposed of using the normal solid urban
waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be
collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the
machine, while preventing potential damage to
the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the
public waste collection service, taken to suitable
collection areas in the area or, if permitted by
current national legislation, they may be returned
to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a
new equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of
systems for the collection and disposal of old and
disused appliances.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
You can help to reduce the peak load of the
electricity supply network companies by using the
oven in the hours between late afternoon and the
early hours of the morning.
Always keep the oven door closed when using the
GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL modes. This will
achieve better results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).
Check the door seals regularly and wipe them
clean to ensure they are free of debris so that
they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding
heat dispersion.
