Levelling Y our Appliance (only on certain models)
4 support feet which are adjusted using screws are located
in the lower part of the cooker. These level off the oven
when necessary . It is essential that the cook er be standing
level.
Installation of the cooker
The cooker is prepared with protection degree against
excessive heating of type X, the appliance can therefore
be installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. If the cooker is placed touching
walls or sides of neighbouring cabinets, these must be
capable of withstanding a temperature rise of 50°C above
room temperature. For a correct installation of the cook er
the following precautions must be f ollowed:
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/
diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or
shower room.
b) The fur niture units next to the cooker, that is higher
than the working boards, must be placed at least
600mm from the edge of the board. Curtains must not
be fitted immediately behind the cooker or within 600
mm. of the sides of the cooker.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the
requirements in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the
base units, providing that the lower edge of the wall
cabinet is a minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop.
The minimum distance combustible material kitchen
units can be fitted directly above the worktop is 700
mm (Fig. A).
e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must
be of flameproof material.
f) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be

removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the
gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to
the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is
ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph headed “Adaptation to diff erent gas types”. 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 the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In
the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure
regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas
supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be
sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the
cooker touching hot parts.
HOT PARTS
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with
the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the
burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed
between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection must
be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet
fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas 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 nev er be at any point in its lenght in contact
with the “hot” parts of the cooker;
• the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;
• the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional
stress and it must not have an y 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, ne ver attempt
to repair.
Important: the installation must comply with gas safety
(installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, b y low , a qualified, corgi approv ed engineer must be
called for installation.

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:•. T o 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 by lighting pressing on the “L” button, identified by the
symbol. T o turn on a burner, simply press the “L” button and
1
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.
Notice: The first time y ou use your appliance, we recom-
mend 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.
F
The models equipped with a safety device on oven b urner,
the knob must be kept pressed in for about 6 seconds to
activate the flame failure device. (For the models pr ovided
with electronic lighting see the relative paragraph).
The cooking temperature is selected by matching the desired
temperature with the permanent reference on the panel; the
complete range of temperatures is shown belo w:
Min • 160 • 180 • 220 Max
150 155 170 200 250
The selected temperature is reached automatically and it is kept
constant by the knob-controlled thermostat.
T o 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 (for the model provided
with electronic lighting see the relative paragraph). In this
way the infrared r ay comes on for bro wning 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: when using the grill, the oven door must be left
partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between door
and panel to prevent the cook er knobs from ov erheating.
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.
The oven and grill knob (M)
This knob is used to select the different functions of the oven
and choose the right cooking temperature for the food to be
prepared in the oven among the temperatures shown on the
knob (from Min to Max).
T o light the oven b urner, hold a lighted match or lighter near hole
“F” and turn the oven knob counter anti cloc kwise up to the Max
position.
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.

In case of lack of electricity light the oven or g rill manuall, following
the instruction of “the ov en knob paragraph”.
Oven light button (O)
This is marked by the symbol 8 and switchs on the light inside
the oven so that y ou can control the cooking without opening the
door.
Timer Knob (P)
In order to use the timer, it must be wound b y turning the
"P" knob almost one complete turn in the clockwise direc-
tion . Then, turning it back , set the desired time by
lining up the number for the minutes with the mark on the
control panel.
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic
guidelines should be followed:
• Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see
table) in order to prevent the flame from spreading beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Only use cookware with flat bottoms.
• As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to
the lowest setting.
• Always use lids with pots and pans.
Bruciatore ø Diametro recipienti (cm)
Rapido (R) 24 – 26
Semi Rapido (S) 16 – 20
Ausiliario (A) 10 – 14
N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid
should only be used with the auxiliary burner when
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.
Using the grill pan kit
Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into the
small recess (fig. 1), tilt it upw ards and slide it towards the
centre (fig. 2).
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best
results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the
uppermost shelves. P ouring a little water into the g rill pan
will make the collection of grease particles more efficient
and prevent the f ormation of smoke.

Cooking advice
The oven off ers 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 15 min.). Cake-baking
temperatures are normally around 160°C. Do not open
the oven door during the baking process as this could
cause the cake to sink.
Beaten cake mixtures should not be too soft as this could
considerably lengthen cooking times. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the tem pera ture b y 10°C a nd redu ce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lo wer the tempe rature by 1 0°C.
Cooking fish and meat
Meat must weigh at least one Kg. to stop it becoming too
dry. 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. For tastier roasts,
wrap the meat with bacon rashers or dot the meat with
lard and place it in the upper part of the oven. When some
types of food are cooked in the ventilated oven (duck,
rabbit, large fowl) they become too dry; in these cases,
better results are obtained using the combined oven.

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 b y 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;
Important: periodically 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
characteristics::
- V oltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
· Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains.
Gas tap maintenance
The taps may jam in time or they ma y become difficult to
turn. If so , the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.: This operation m ust be performed by a technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
