Installation

 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

/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

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

- 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.

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.

Ventilation opening for comburent air

 After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open a window or increase the speed of any fans used.

 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.

 Any hoods must be installed according to the

instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.

 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.

 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.

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 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 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.

 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 tightness of the connection

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.  If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.

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.

Using the hob

Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a full 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 E.

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 C, the maximum setting E or any position in

between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device* (see figure), press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction,

towards the minimum 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.

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:

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.

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

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

Cooking modes

BAKING mode

Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max. The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc..

CONVECTION mode Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max. On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when

preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.

FAN ASSISTED mode Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max. The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: Cooking On More Than One Rack. This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The fan assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.

TOP OVEN mode

Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max. The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

GRILL mode

Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max. The top heating element and the turnspit come on. 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. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking, except when using the turnspit. Some grilling examples are included in the Practical Cooking Advice paragraph..

FAN ASSISTED GRILL mode

Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and 200°C. The top central heating element and the fan come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

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.

 The TOP OVEN, GRILL and FAN ASSISTED GRILL cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.

 When using the TOP OVEN and GRILL cooking modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/ or grease). When using the FAN ASSISTED GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues.
