Installation

All instruction on the following pages must be carried out
by a competent person (corgi registered) in compliance
with gas safety (installation and use) regulation 1984.

Important: disconnect the cooker from the electrycity
and gas supply when any adjustment, etc.

Positioning your appliance

Y our cook er is designed with a degree of protection against
overheating in class X; the appliance can therefore be
installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. The wall touching the bac k panel of
the cooker should be non-inflammable. Remember that
during use, the back panel of the cooker ma y reach a tem­perature up to 50°C above that of the room temperature .
Important: this appliance may be installed and used only
in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current
directives. The following precautions should be taken:

a) The room must be provided with an external exhaust

system obtained with a hood or with an electric
ventilator that goes on automatically each time the unit
is switched on.

d) The liquefied petroleum gases, which are heavier than

air, stagnate tow ards the ground. Theref ore, the rooms
containing LPG cans must have openings tow ards the
outside in order to allow the venting from the ground of
eventual gas leak. Thus, the LPG cans must not be
installed or settled in rooms that are below the ground
level, (cellar, etc.) whether the cans are empty or
partially full. It is advisable to keep in the room only the
can which is being used, and it must be placed away
from direct heat sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc.) that could make the can reach temperatures
higher than 50°C.

Levelling your appliance (only on a fe w models)
Y our cook er is supplied with feet for le velling the appliance.
If necessary , these feet can be screwed into the housings
in the corners of the cooker base.

In the case of chimneys or flues Directly to the

with branches (for cookers) exterior

b) The room must be provided with a system for air inflow

which is necessary for a regular combustion. The air
flow necessary for the combustion should be at least 2
m3/h for kW of installed power. The system may be
realized by drawing the air directly from outside the
building through a pipe that has at least a 100 cm
useable section and which must not be accidently
obstructed (Fig. A). And further it may be realized
indirectly from other adjacent rooms which are provided
with a ventilation pipe for the e xpulsion of the fumes to
the outside of the building as foresaid, and which must
not be part of the building in common use or rooms
with risk of fire, or bedrooms (Fig. B).

Connecting the gas

The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a
gas cylinder in compliance with current directives. Bef ore
making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated
for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the
instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas”. 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 replace the gasket
(supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from
a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with
current directive.
Important: check that the supply pressure complies with
the values indicated in table 1 “Characteristics of the
burners and nozzles” since this will ensure saf e operation,
correct consumption and ensure a longer life to your
appliance.

Connection with hose

Make the connection using a gas hose complying with
the the characteristics provided in current directive. The
internal diameter of the pipe used is as follows:

- 8mm for liquid gas;

- 13mm for methane gas.
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:

• No part of the hose should touch parts whose tempe-

rature exceeds 50°C;

• The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;

• The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,

and should not have bends or kinks.

• The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,

any moving parts, and it should not be crushed;

• The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in

order to check its condition;
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends
and fix it with clamps complying to current directive.If any
of the above recommendations can not be adopted, fle xible
metal pipes should be used.
Should the cooker be installed according to the conditions
of Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which
is in compliance with current safety standards should be
used to make the connection to the gas mains.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to
a threaded attachment

Remove the hose holder fitted on the appliance. The gas
supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male
attachment. Only pipes and gaskets complying with current
directives. The full length of the pipe must not exceed 2000
mm.

Tight control
Important: when installation has been completed, check

the pipe fitting for leaks with a soapy solution. Ne ver use a
flame. Once the connection has been made, ensure that
the flexible metal tube does not touch any moving parts
and is not crushed.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load
indicated on the data plate. When connecting the cable
directly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker
with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the
appliance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker
should be sized according to the load and should comply
with current regulations (the earth wire should not be
interrupted by the circuit breaker).
The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not
reach a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to
the room temperature, along its length. Before making the
connection, check that:

• the limiter valve and the home system can support the
appliance load (see data plate);

• the mains is properly earthed in compliance with
current directives and regulations;

• there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit
breaker , once the hob has been installed.

N.B: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they
can cause heating or burning.

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”.

Important: the hose holder f or liquid gas is marked 8, the
hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Alwa ys fit the
sealing gasket.
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.

The different functions and uses of the oven

The various functions included in the cooker are selected
by operating the control devices located on the cooker
control panel.

Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)
The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of

the knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:•. To light

one of the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near
the burner. Press down and turn the corresponding knob

in the counter-clockwise direction to the maximum E
setting. Each burner can be operated at its maximum,

minimum or intermediate power. Shown on the knob are

the different symbols for off • (the knob is on this setting

when the symbol lines up with the reference mark on the
control panel), for maximum E and minimum C.

To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn
the knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with

the • symbol).

Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob (only on certain
models)
Some of the models are provided with instant electronic
lighting of the hob gas burners; these models are identi­fied by the presence of a lighting device (see detail H).
This device operates when a slight pressure is applied to

the “L” button marked with 1 symbol. To light a specific
burner just press the button labelled “L” while pushing the

corresponding knob all the way in and turning it counter­clockwise until it lights. For immediate lighting, first

press the button and then turn the knob.
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go
out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute
before trying to relight.

Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks (only on certain models)

These models can be identified by the presence of the
device itself (see detail C).
Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a
safety device , you must hold the control knob in f or about
6 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the
gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.

Notice: The first time y ou use your appliance, we recom­mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the ov en on f or about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur­ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in­stalled.

Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when
using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other
types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel. Always
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium f oil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.

and cooker accessories. Moreover, during oven oper ation, it may
be used to keep food warm.To open the storage is necessary
turn it downwards.
Caution: this storage recess must not be used to store
inflammable materials.

Oven Light Button (O)

This button is marked by the 8 symbol and switches on
the light inside the oven so that you can monitor the cook-

ing process without opening the door.

Attention

Cooking advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
you to cook any type of food in the best possib le wa y . With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guideline which may be varied according to your o wn per­sonal experience.

Baking cakes

The oven should alwa ys be warm before putting in cak es
wait till the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cake­baking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C.
Do not open the oven door during the baking process as
this could cause the cake to sink.In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the tem peratur e by 10°C and r educ e the
cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the t emperat ure b y 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside

Use less liquid, lower t he tem perat ure, and incr ease

the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan w ell and s prink le it wit h a d ustin g of
flour.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time should
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill­tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.
