not been earthed.
6 Before connecting the appliance to the mains, check that the
specifications indicated on the rating plate correspond to those
of the electrical mains system of your home.
7 The cooker must be connected to the mains electrical supply
via a earthed 13 or 15 amp. soc ket outlet, meeting the electrical
current requirements detailed under “electrical Connection” in
the installation section later in this book.
8 The openings and slots used for ventilation and dispersion of
heat on the rear and below the control panel must never be
covered.
9 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was
expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) is
considered to be improper and consequently dangerous. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting
from improper and irresponsible use.
10 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using
electrical appliances. The follo wing are of particular importance:
• do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet
• do not use the appliance barefooted
• never allow the Mains Cable to be stretched, pulled or
damaged if the Cooker is moved for cleaning etc. Do not
use the cooker if the Mains Cable is damaged, consult a
qualified electrician.
• do not allow the cooker to be used unsupervised by children
or persons unfamiliar with it.
11 Always s witch off the electrical supply to the cooker and allow it
to cool down before carrying out any cleaning operations etc.
12 In the case of faults and/or faulty operation, switch off the
electricity supply to the cooker and do not tamper with it. For

request the use of original spare parts only. Failure to comply
with the above may compromise the saf ety of the appliance .
13 Remember if you are discarding any domestic appliance with
which children etc. may play , make it saf e by removing the Mains
Cable from it, after first disconnecting the electricity supply.
Remove glass parts where possible, and consider sharp edges
etc. which ma y no w be exposed.
14 Oven glov es or similar protection should be used when moving
containers in or out of hot ovens and care should be be tak en to
avoid contact with hot surfaces by exposed 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) Touching hot parts
b) Being splashed with hot liquids
c) By pulling projecting pan handles and tipping hot liquids
over themselves
16 Please remember that a small child’s skin is f ar more sensitive
and therefore easily burnt. You 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 o ver .
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. The y should not be used
unattended since overheated oil may 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 taken when touching these areas before they ha ve completely
cooled down.
21 Remember to keep c hildren 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 coockware in the oven or
removing it.
24 Never use the o v en as place to store flammable material.
25 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep the
supply cord awa y from the hot parts.
26 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”O” position when the appliance
is not in use.
27 Warning: open the door with care since if you are not careful
you may hurt yourself in the hinge area.
28 Gas units need a regular air replacement for a correct
functioning. Make sure that the requirements requested in
the “Positioning” paragraph are all observed in the owner’ s
manual.

inlet for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.
Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used
corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:
• the hose must never be at an y point in its lenght in contact with
the “hot” parts of the cooker;
• the hose must nev er be longer than 1,5 metre;
• the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress
and it must not have any excessively narrow curves or
bottlenecks;
• the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check
its condition;
• the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to

The different functions and uses of the oven
D
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 (only a f ew
models)
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.
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.
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 ov en for conv entional 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 .
Models with Flame Failure Device (only a few 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 f eature in case the cover is lowered
with the burners on. Alw ays turn off the gas and allow the
burners to cool before closing the cov er. Failure to f ollow
these instructions may cause the glass cover to shatter.
Keep the cover open when using the oven.
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
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 ne w 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.
10
Page 11
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 ov en 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 (only a few models)
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 cookw are with flat bottoms.
Burner ø Cookware Diameter (cm)
Fast (R) 24 - 26
Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20
Auxiliary (A) 10 - 14
Triple Crown ( TC) 24 - 26
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.
11
Page 12
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
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the tem per ature , and inc rea se
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and s prinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
I used more than one level and they are not all at
the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature s etting. It is not n ecessary to
remove the food fro m all t he rack s at th e same tim e.
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

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:
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
· 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. Remove any liquid from the lid before
opening it.
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 cov er of the lamp-holder;
· Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following
characteristics::
- V oltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- T ype E14
· Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains.
Greasing the Taps
The taps may jam in time or they ma y become difficult to
turn. If so , the tap itself m ust be replaced.
