Installation

The following instructions should be read by a qualified technician
to ensure that the appliance is installed, regulated and technically
serviced correctly in compliance with current regulations.

Important: remember to unplug the appliance from the
mains before regulating the appliance or carrying out any
maintenance work.

Positioning
Important: This unit may be installed and used only in perma-

nently ventilated rooms in accordance with current National
Regulations. The following requirements must be observed:
a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system that

vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may consist of
a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time
the appliance is turned on.

partially or completely full. It is a good idea to keep only the
cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not
subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fire­places, stoves, etc. ) which are able to increase the tempera­ture of the cylinder above 50°C.

Levelling Your 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 cooker be standing
level.

Mounting the legs (only on certain models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your
cooker.

A Flue or Branched Flue System Directly to the outside

(only for cooking appliances)

b)

The room must also have a system to permit proper air circula­tion, needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air
needed for combustion must not be less than 2 m3/h per kW of
installed power. The air circulation system may take air directly
from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section
of at least 100 cm2; the opening must not be able to be acciden­tally blocked. For those appliances not equipped with a safety
device for accidental flame loss, the ventilation apertures must
be increased by 100%, with the minimum being 200cm2 (Fig. A).
The system can also provide the air needed for combustion by
indirect means, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circula­tion tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not
be common rooms or bedrooms. (Fig. B).

c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may result in

the need for supplemental air circulation, e.g. opening win­dows or increasing mechanical venting (if present).

d) Liquified petroleum gas is heavier than the air and, therefore,

settles downwards. Thus, rooms containing LPG cylinders
must also be equipped with apertures to the outside for ven­tilation of gas in the case of leaks. LPG cylinders must not,
therefore, be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas
that are below ground level (cellars, etc.) whether they are

Installation of the cooker

The appliance can 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 cooker the following
precautions must be followed:
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 furniture units next to the cooker, that is higher than the

working boards, must be placed at least 600 mm from the
edge of the board. Curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the cooker or within 110 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

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 temperature

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, flexible 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.

Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load indicated on
the data plate. When connecting the cable directly to the mains,
install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact
opening of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains. The
omnipolar circuit breaker should be sized according to the load
and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should
not be interrupted by the circuit breaker).
The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach
a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to the room tem­perature, along its length. Before making the connection, check
that:

• the limiter valve and the home system can support the
appliance load (see data plate);

• the mains is properly earthed in compliance with current
directives and regulations;

• there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit
breaker, once the hob has been installed.

N.B: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they can
cause heating or burning.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect
to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on the label
attached to the lid), follow these steps:
a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that

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 on a few
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 device is acti-
vated by lighting pressing on the “L” button, identified by the

symbol. To turn 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 Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks (only on a few models)

These models can be identified by the presence of the device
itself (see detail J).
Important: Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety
device, you must hold the control knob in for about 3 seconds
after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until
the safety thermocouple has heated.

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).
To light the oven burner, hold a lighted match or lighter near hole
“F” and turn the oven knob counter anti clockwise up to the Max
position.

F

The models equipped with a safety device on oven burner,
the knob must be kept pressed in for about 6 seconds to
activate the flame failure device.

The cooking temperature is selected by matching the desired
temperature with the permanent reference on the panel; the
complete range of temperatures is shown below:

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.

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: when using the grill, the oven door must be left
partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between door
and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.

Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom­mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for 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.

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 foil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.

Important Notice: In the event the flame for 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.

Oven light button (O)

This is marked by the symbol 1 and switchs on the light inside
the oven so that you can control the cooking without opening the

door.

9

Timer Knob (P) (only on a few models)

)

In order to use the timer, it must be wound by 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.

The rotisserie

To start the rotisserie, proceed as follows:

a) place the dripping pan on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 3rd rack

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

c) start the rotisserie using button “O” 1.

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.

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 avoided.

N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners
are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before
opening it.
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::

- Voltage 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 may become difficult to
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.

N.B.: This operation must be performed by a technician
authorised by the manufacturer.

11

Cooking advice

The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. 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 always be warm before putting in cakes
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 temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase

the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of

flour.

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.

parties chaudes de l'appareil.

23 Contrôlez toujours que les manettes soient bien dans la position “•”/

“o” quand l’appareil n'est pas utilisé.

24 Lorsque le grill ou le four sont allumés, les parties accessibles peuvent

devenir très chaudes. Gardez les enfants à bonne distance.

25 Les appareils à gaz ont besoin d’un apport d’air régulier pour

un fonctionnement correct. Il est important de vérifier lors de
leur installation, que tous les points indiqués dans le paragraphe
relatif à leur “Positionnement” soient respectés.

26 Si la cuisinière est installée sur un socle, prenez les précautions qui

s'imposent pour que l'appareil ne tombe pas de ce socle.

27 Attention: ne placez jamais de récipients bouillants, de mets chauds

ou du matériel inflammable à l'intérieur du tiroir chauffe-plats.

28 Le couvercle en verrre (qui n’existe que sur certains modèles) peut

se briser en surchauffant; il faut donc toujours vérifier si les plaques
et les brûleurs sont bien éteints avant de fermer le couvercle.

Instructions pour l’installation

Les instructions suivantes sont destinées à l’installateur
qualifié afin d’effectuer les opérations d’installation, de
réglage et d’entretien technique de la manière la plus
correcte et conformément aux normes en vigueur.

Important: n’importe quelle opération de réglage,
d’entretien, etc..., doit être effectuée après avoir
débranché la prise de la cuisinière.

Conditions réglementaires d’installation

Le raccordement gaz devra être fait par un professionnel
qualifié qui assurera la bonne alimentation en gaz et le
meilleur réglage de la combustion des brûleurs. Ces
opérations d’installation, quoique simples, sont délicates
et primordiales pour que votre cuisinière vous rende le
meilleur service. L’installation doit être effectuée
conformément aux textes réglementaires et règles de l’art
en vigueur, notamment:

• Arrêté du 2 août 1977. Règles techniques et de sécurité
applicables aux installations de gaz combustibles et
d’hydro-carbures liquéfiés situées à l’intérieur des
bâtiments d’habitation et de leur dépendances.

• Norme DTU P45-204. Installations de gaz
(anciennement DTU n° 61-1-installations de gaz - Avril
1982 + additif n°1 Juillet 1984).

• Règlement sanitaire départemental.

Positionnement

Pour garantir le fonctionnement correct de l’appareil, il faut
que la pièce dans laquelle se trouve l’appareil comporte
une ventilation haute et basse, ainsi qu’une fenêtre. Il faut
respecter les conditions suivantes:
a) La pièce doit prévoir un système d’évacuation vers

l’extérieur des fumées de combustion, réalisé au moyen
d’une hotte ou par ventilateur électrique qui entre
automatiquement en fonction dès que l’on allume
l’appareil.

à coucher (Fig. B).

Exemples d'ouverture de ventilation Agrandissement de la fissure

pour l'air comburant entre la porte et le sol

Fig. A Fig. B

c) En cas d’utilisation intensive et prolongée de l’appareil,

une aération supplémentaire pourrait être nécessaire;
dans ce cas, ouvrez une fenêtre ou augmentez la
puissance de l’aspiration mécanique si vous disposez
d’une hotte.

d) Les gaz de pétrole liquéfiés, plus lourds que l’air, se

déposent et stagnent vers le bas. Les locaux qui
contiennent donc des bouteilles de G.P.L doivent
prévoir des ouvertures vers l’extérieur afin de permettre
l’évacuation par le bas, des fuites éventuelles de gaz.
Les bouteilles de GPL, qu’elles soient vides ou
partiellement pleines, ne devront donc pas être
installées ou déposées dans des locaux qui se trouvent
au dessous du niveau du sol (caves etc.). Il est
opportun de tenir dans le local, uniquement la bouteille
que vous êtes en train d’utiliser, placée de façon à ne
pas être sujette à l’action directe de sources de chaleur
(fours, feux de bois, poêles etc.) qui peuvent atteindre
des températures supérieures à 50°C.

Nivellement (Il n’est présent que sur certains modèles)
Dans la partie inférieure de la cuisinière se trouvent 4
pieds réglables au moyen de vis qui permettent la mise à
niveau de l’appareil, en cas de besoin. Il est indispensable
de positionner l’appareil à l’horizontale.

En cas de cheminée ou Directement à l'extérieur

conduit de fumée ramifié

(réservé aux appareils de cuisson)

b) La pièce doit prévoir un système qui consent l’afflux

d’air nécessaire à une régulière combustion. Le flux
d’air nécessaire à la combustion ne doit pas être
inférieur à 2 m3/h par kW de puissance installée. Le
système peut être réalisé en prélevant l’air directement
de l'extérieur du bâtiment au moyen d’un conduit d’au
moins 100 cm2 de section adaptée de manière à ce
qu’il ne puisse être accidentellement bouché (Fig.A).
Ou, de manière indirecte depuis des milieux adjacents
et équipés d’un conduit de ventilation avec l'extérieur
comme susmentionné; les susdits milieux ne doivent
pas être des parties communes du bâtiment, ni
présenter des danger d’incendie, ni être des chambres

Montage pieds (Il n’est présent que sur certains modèles)
La cuisinière est fournie de pieds à monter par encastrement
sous la base.
