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 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.

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, 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).

•Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than

4

HOOD

	Min. 600mm.	min. 650 mm. with hood min. 700 mm. without hood
Min. 420mm.	Min. 420mm.

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 connection

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 circuitbreaker). 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.

*Only available in certain models

	• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
		GB
	appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
	plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do
	not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be 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
	GB
				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.
			! 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).
			! 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:

closing the lid. *Applies to the models with glass cover only.

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	ř 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.

!Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit.

Lighting the oven

To light the oven burner, bring a flame or gas lighter close to opening F (see figure) and press the OVEN control knob while turning it in an anticlockwise direction until it reaches the MAX position.

If, after 15 seconds, the burner

is still not alight, release the

		before carrying out any work on it.
		Cleaning the appliance
		! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as
		stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents
		or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch
		the surface beyond repair.
		! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
		the appliance.
		•	It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
			damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
		•	The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts
			and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
			sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
			and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
			removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse well
			and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
			corrosive substances.
		•	The hob grids, burner caps, flame spreader rings
			and the hob burners can be removed
			to make cleaning easier; wash them in hot water and
			non-abrasive detergent, making sure all burnt-on
			residue is removed before drying them thoroughly.
		•	For hobs with electronic ignition, the terminal part of
			the electronic lighting devices should be cleaned
			frequently and the gas outlet holes should be
			checked for blockages.
		•	The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned
			after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
			water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a
			soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
		•	Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
			sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then
			dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
			abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these
			could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
			crack.
		•	The accessories can be washed like everyday
			crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
		•	Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
			has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
			aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
			After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any

remaining drops of water should also be dried.

The cover

If the cooker is fitted with a glass cover, this cover should be cleaned using

lukewarm water. Do not

use abrasive products.

It is possible to remove

the cover in order to make cleaning the area behind the hob easier. Open

the cover fully and pull it

upwards (see figure).

! Do not close the cover when the burners are alight or when they are still hot.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest Authorised After-sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult to turn. If this occurs, the tap must be replaced.

! This procedure must be performed by a qualified technician who has been authorised by the manufacturer.

Replacing the oven light bulb

1. After disconnecting the

oven from the electricity mains, remove the glass lid covering

the lamp socket (see figure).

2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.

3. Replace the lid and reconnect the oven to the electricity supply.
