Installation

Before operating your new appliance please read GB 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 m3/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 cm2 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 cm2 - 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	Room requiring
		ventilation

Ventilation opening for	Increase in the gap
comburent air	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.

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

Fumes channelled through

straight outside

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).

To install the appliance correctly:

•Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bedsit (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).

•Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200 mm away from its sides.

•Any hoods must be installed according to the instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.

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.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power

supply cable and the electrical socket must be GB easily accessible.

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.

The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

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

If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or GB 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).

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.

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.

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.

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”.

Start-up and use

Using the hob

Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the flame for the relevant burner.

To light one of the burners on the hob:

1.Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.

2.Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting -.

3.Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting +, the maximum setting - or any position in between the two.

		If the appliance is fitted with
	X	an electronic lighting device*
		( D )	, press the ignition
		button, marked with the
		symbol	, then hold the

DBURNER knob down and turn it in an anticlockwise direction,

towards the maximum flame setting, until the burner is lit. The burner may be extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period of time.

If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.

If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*(X), press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight and to activate the device.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position •.

Electric hotplates

The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise and set to any of the six different positions:

Setting	Normal or Fast Plate
0	Off
1	Low
2 - 5	Medium
6	High

When the selector knob is in any position other than the off position, the ‘on’ light is illuminated.

Practical advice on using the burners

GB

For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

Burner	ø Cookware diameter (cm)
Fast (R)	24 - 26
Semi Fast (S)	16 - 20
Auxiliary (A)	10 - 14

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.

Using the oven

The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.

1.Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2.Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

•Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

•Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

•Set the total cooking time and the cooking end time (see below).

•Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

* Only available in certain models.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

GB

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting & with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.

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.

OOVEN BOTTOM mode

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.

	Setting	Normal or Fast Plate
	0	Off
	1	Cooking vegetables, fish
	2	Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups,
		chickpeas, beans.
	3	Continuing the cooking of large quantities
		of food, minestrone
	4	For roasting (average)
	5	For roasting (above average)
	6	For browning and reaching a boil in a
		short time.

9

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

GB

•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.

!When inserting the shelf make sure the backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see image)

Precautions and tips

! The appliance was designed and manufactured in GB 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.
