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).

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.

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

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 - setting. Each burner
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate

power . Sho wn 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 - and

minimum +.

To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. T o turn off the burner, turn the

knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the •

symbol).

Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob

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

symbol. To light a specific burner just press the button la-



belled “L” while pushing the corresponding knob all the way in

and turning it counter-clockwise until it lights. For immediate
lighting, first press the b utton and then turn the knob.
Some models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated
into the control knob. If this is the case, the ignitor (H) is present,

but not the “L” button (the  symbol is located near each knob).
To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the

way in and then turn it anti-clockwise to the “High” - setting,
keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.

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 you 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.

9

Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using

the rotisserie to cook (where present). F or all other types of
cooking, never use the bottom shelf and ne ver 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 foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with
the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.

Oven and Grill Control Knob (M)
This knob allows you to select the v arious features of the ov en
and to set the most appropriate cooking temperature from among
those indicated on the knob itself (between Min and Max).
T o light the o ven burner , hold a lighted match or lighter near the
“F” hole and, at the same time, press down and turn the oven
knob counter-clockwise to the Max setting.

Oven Light Button (O)

This button is marked by the 1 symbol and switches on
the light inside the oven so that you can monitor the cook-

ing process without opening the door.

To operate the rotisserie, proceed as follows:

a) place the dripping-pan on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special rotisserie suppor t on the 4th rack

and position the spit by inserting it through the special
hole into the rotisserie at the back of the oven;

c) to start the spit, press the button “O”.

F

Since the cooker is equipped with a safety device which
makes it necessary to keep the knob pressed in for about 6
seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas
to pass through freely .

The cooking temperature is selected by matching the desired
temperature with the reference mark on the panel; the complete
range of temperatures is shown below .
The temperature setting is then automatically reached and kept
constant by the thermostat (which is controlled by the knob).

Min • 150 • 180 • 220 Max

To use the grill, turn the knob clockwise till to setting ,

after holding a lighted match or a lighter close to the grill burner.

In the grill burner equipped with a safety device, the knob
must be held pressed in for about 6 seconds in order to
activate the flame failure device. In this way the infrared ray

comes on for browning the food or cooking roast, chops,
sausages, roast-beef, etc.; for grill cooking, place a drip-pan under
the grill to catch the grease.
Important Notice: In the event the flame f or the oven acciden­tally goes out, turn the control knob for the burner to the off
position and do not relight the burner for at least one minute.
Important: when using the grill, the ov en door must be left partly
open by positioning the deflector “D” between door and panel to
prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.

Cooking Control Timer Knob (only a fe w models)
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control when
the oven shuts off during cooking. T o use this f eature, you m ust
wind the “P” knob one full turn in the counter-clockwise direction

#; Then, turn the knob in the clockwise direction ", to set the

time by matching up the indicator on the control panel with the
number of minutes on the knob.

Caution

Keep children away from the oven door when in use be­cause it becomes very hot.

Storage recess below the oven (only a few models)
Below the oven a recess can be used to contain cooking
pans and cooker accessories. Moreover, during oven
operation, it may be used to keep f ood w arm.To open the
storage is necessary turn it downwards.
Caution: this storage recess must not be used to store
inflammable materials.

Practical advice for burner use

In order to get the maximum yield it is important to
remember the following:

• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table)

so as to avoid flames overshooting the edges.

• At boiling point turn the knob to minimum.

• Use cookware with lids.

• Always use cookware with flat bottoms.

Cooking advice

Burner ø Cookware diameter (cm)

Fast (R) 24 - 26
Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20

Auxiliary (A) 10 - 1 4

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 own 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 perat ure by 10°C and reduce the

cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the t emper atur e by 10 °C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower r ack, lowe r the tempe rature , and
increase the c ooking time.

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.

Cooked well on the in side but st icky on the
outside

Use less liquid, lower t he t emperat ure, and inc rease

the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan w ell and s prink le it wit h a dus ting of
flour.
