moving containers in or out of hot ovens and care should be
be taken to av oid contact with hot surfaces by e xposed skin
on wrists or arms.
15 One of the commonest types of accident involving cooking
appliances is burns to babies and young children. These
can occur by:
a) T ouching hot parts
b) Being splashed with hot liquids
c) By pulling projecting pan handles and tipping hot liquids
over themselv es
16 Please remember that a small child’s skin is f ar more sensitive
and therefore easily burnt. Y ou are , therefore, strongly advised
to keep babies and young children well clear of this appliance
during use and whilst it is cooling down after use.
17 Unstable or out of shape pans should not be used on the
hob in case they cause spillage of hot liquids by tipping ov er.
18 Pans must only be placed in the centre of the b urners. Placing
pans off centre may cause cooking irregularites.
19 Special care should be taken when using chip pans etc. in
order to avoid splashing or spillage of hot oil. They should not
be used unattended since overheated oil ma y boil over and
could also ignite.
20 Parts of this appliance, cooking surfaces, retain heat for
considerable periods after switching off. Care should,
therefore, be tak en when touching these areas before the y
have completely cooled do wn.
21 Remember to keep children away from the appliance
when you use the grill or oven, since these parts become
very hot.
22 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline,
etc. near the appliance when it is in use.
23 Wear oven gloves when placing coockw are in the oven or
removing it.

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
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. 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 and minimum .
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 Lighting of the Hob Burners
Some models are equipped with instant electronic lighting of the gas burners located on the hob, which can be
identified by the presence of an igniter device (see detail
C). This de vice is activated b y lighting pressing on the “ L”
button, identified by the symbol. To tur n on a burner,
simply press the “L” button and then press while, at the
same time, pressing in and turning the control knob for
the burner in the anticlockwise direction until the burner
lights. To light the burner immediately, it is recom-
mended that the button be pressed first and then the
knob turned.
Caution: If the burner accidentally goes out, turn off
the burner using the knob and wait at least one minute
before relighting.
Models with Flame Failure Device (only a f e w models)
These models are identified by the presence of a flame
detection device (see detail H).
Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a
safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob
pressed in for about 6 seconds to allow the gas to pass
until the safety thermocouple is heated.
Gas Cut Off (only a few models)
This cooker has a safety cut out feature which switches
off the burners when you close the cover. This device is
provided as a safety feature in case the co ver is lowered
8
Page 9
with the burners on. Alw ays turn off the gas and allow the
D
burners to cool before closing the cov er. Failure to f ollow
these instructions may cause the glass cover to shatter.
Keep the cov er open when using the o v en.
Attention: bef ore using the oven and grill f or the first time,
turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make
sure that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the
door open, and the room properly ventilated. The odor
which can be detected at times is due to the evaporation
off the substances used to protect the oven and the grill
during the period between the time of production and
installation of the appliance.
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.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the symbol on the timer knob .
Using the oven
When the oven control knob (M) is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol the fan and oven light will
come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating
further to the complete range of temperatures shown on
the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the
food you are going to cook. The temperature is reached
automatically and controlled by the ov en thermostat (from
50°C to 240°C).
Note: Whilst using tag o ven for con ventional cooking knob
(O) must be set with “MAX” in line with the ref erence mark
on the control panel.
Grill
The top centre heating element will come on and the
rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. On this
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off
in the downward direction by the electric heating element.
The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill
make it possible to brown meats on the surface while
locking in the juices to keep them tender.
Double Grill
Both of the top heating elements turn on and the rotisserie
motor (if present) is activated.
This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in
the corners of the oven.
Important: when using the gr ill, the oven door must be
left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between
door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from
overheating.
Oven Light
The light comes on when the "M" knob is turned to the
setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains
on when any of the heating elements is turned on.
Thermostat Light (I)
This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature
at a constant level.
Cooking Control Timer Knob
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control
when the oven shuts off during cooking. To use this feature,
you must 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.
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will
sound and automatically turn off the oven.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the symbol on the timer knob .
When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can
be used like a normal timer.
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 ov ershooting the edges .
· At boiling point turn the knob to minimum.
· Use cookware with lids.
· Always use cookware with flat bottoms.
Burner ø Cookware diameter (cm)
Fast (R) 24 - 26
Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20
Auxiliary (A) 10 - 14
N.B. On the models supplied with a reducer shelf,
remember that this should be used only for the auxiliary
burner when you use casserole dishes with a diameter
under 12 cm.

Page 10
Cooking advice
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan should be
used at a time. The rack or pan should be inserted into
the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food
needs more heat from the top or bottom.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required
for leavened foods), we recommend using the
"conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to
reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After
the oven has been preheated, the red indicator light (I)
will turn off. At this point, y ou can select the most suitable
setting to cook the dish.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from
drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use
low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat
that should be well done on the outside while tender and
juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high
temperature setting (200°C-220°C) f or a short time, then
turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the
roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat
on the centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it
to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
Cooking Pastries
Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not
open the door in order to prev ent the pastry from dropping.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the
cooking time is not excessive . In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, l ower the temperature, and increas e the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkl e it wit h a dusting of
flour.
I used more than one level and they are not all at
the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Using the Grill
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected
by turning the oven control knob (M) in a clockwise
direction to align the symbols ( for the centre,
for the complete area) with the mark on the control panel.
The variable temperature control (O ) is positioned to right
of the oven knob. This knob will provide varying grill
temperatures when rotated from “max” to “min” and ma y
be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the
grilling operation.
T o operate the grill
1. Turn the oven control knob (M) clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the
control panel. The element is now “on”.
2. The variable grill control (O) can now be operated to
select the required heat.
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower le v els
(see cooking table). To catch g rease or fat and prevent
smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom rack lev el.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too da rk on t op
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking t ime.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from
the electricity .To assure the long life of the cooker , it must
be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
· the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
· the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any
scale;
· in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the
terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes
of the flame spreaders should be checked to make
sure they are free of any obstructions;
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
• On models with glass covers, the covers should be
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or
abrasives is to be av oided.
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners are
still warm.
Important: per iodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended
changing it every year .
Replacing the oven lamp
· Unplug the oven from the mains;
· Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
· Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following

- V oltage 230V
- Wattage 25W

· Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains.
Greasing the taps

replaced.
