Take care when using cleaning products in spray form:

This appliance has been designed for use by adults. Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to play with it. The work of installation must be carried out by competent and qualified installers according to the regulations in force. Any modifications to the domestic electrical mains which may be necessary for the installation of the appliance should be carried out only by competent personnel. In case of repairs contact an authorized Technical Assistance Centre and insist on original spareparts. It is dangerous to modify, or attempt to modify, the characteristics of this appliance. Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on the burners or plates in order to avoid accidents caused by upsetting or boiling over. Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil or fat. The appliance remains hot for a long time after being switched off. Supervise children at all times when in use paying attention that they do not touch surfaces or remain in the vicinity of the appliance when in use or when not completely cooled. If the appliance is fitted with a cover, its function is to protect the surface from dust when closed and to accumulate splashes of grease when open. Do not use for other purposes. Always clean the cover before closing. Leave the burners and/or plates to cool before closing. All the covers, in plate glass or enamel, are removable to facilitate cleaning. Let the burners and/or plates cool before closing. Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill or when cooking meat on the grill. Pour a little water into the dripping pan to avoid grease burning and creating unpleasant smells. Always use oven gloves to remove dishes from the oven. During the first minutes of use, the thermal insulation of the oven, and residual grease from manufacture, produce smoke and disagreeable smells. On first use, we advise heating the oven, empty, for approximately 45 minutes. Then leave to cool and clean the inside of the oven with hot water and a mild detergent. The accessories (grill and dripping pan) should be washed before using for the first time.

never direct the spray onto the resistance or the thermostat bulb. If, when placing food in the oven, or when removing it, a large quantity of oil, juice, etc. spills onto the bottom of the oven, re-clean before starting to cook to avoid unpleasant smoke and also the possibility of these substances catching fire. Ensure that air can circulate around the gas appliance. Poor ventilation can produce a lack of oxygen. WARNING: The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room in which it is installed. Ensure good ventilation of the room keeping natural ventilation openings clear or installing an extractor hood with a discharge tube. In case of doubt ask installer for advice. For reasons of hygiene and safety this appliance must always be kept clean. A build up of grease or other food can cause fires. This product is intended for the cooking of food and must not be used for other purposes. Avoid installation of the cooker near inflammable material (e.g. curtains, tea towels, etc.). Supply the appliance with the type of gas stamped on the relevant adhesive label situated in the immediate vicinity of the gas connection tube. The gas oven becomes hot with the movement of air. The holes on the bottom of the oven must never be obstructed. Do not cover the sides of the oven with aluminium foil, in particular the lower part of the opening. The appliance is heavy, move it carefully. Before maintenance and cleaning disconnect the appliance and allow to cool.

To facilitate ignition, light the burners before placing pans on the grill.

After having lit the burners check that the flame is regular. Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing the pan. Ensure that the oven grills are inserted correctly (see instructions). If there are self-cleaning panels they should only be cleaned with soap and water (see cleaning instructions). Only heat-resistant plates may be placed in the drawer situated under the oven. Do not put combustible materials there. In case of repairs, do not attempt to correct yourself. Repairs carried out by unqualified persons can cause damage.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

INSTALLATION

It is important that all operations are carried out by qualified personnel, in the normal manner. The specific instructions are describred in the chapter on installation. Before using the unit, take off the special protective layer which protects the stainless steel and anodyne tin parts. The thermic insulation and the residue of oil from work, can produce unpleasant smells during the first minut of use. We suggest that the oven is warmed for 45 minutes at maximum temperature on its first use.

USE

Control knobs on the cooke

The knobs for using the gas cooker are found on the control panel. The regulation knobs hould be turned in anti-clockwise direction until the small flame symbol, and vice-versa for the larger symbol.

l No gas supply

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check that the baffle and its cap are correctly positioned. To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a clockwise direction to the position " ". In case the burner flame accidentally goes out, close the command knob and try to ignite again after at least 1 minute.

During cooking, when using fats or oils, take particular care as they can, when over-heated, selfignite.

Maximum gas supply

Minimum gas supply

This appliance is equipped with a safety-valve. In case of extinction of the flame, this device will operate, stopping gas supply (ex. overflowing, draughts).

IGNITION OF HOB BURNERS

To ignite a burner, before positioning the saucepan, approach with a flame (in models with electric ignition, use the appropriate switch marked by a small start), push the corresponding knob in completely and turn in an anticlockwise direction to the maximum position, keep the knob pressed for approximately 5 seconds until the security valve automatically maintains the flame alight; upon ignition regulate the flame as required.

POTTERY

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster cooking than a narrow one. Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook. Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small for liquids, since these could easily overflow. Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the bottom and burn easily. It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak through, falling on the bottom of the oven and consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray, making cleaning difficult. Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they are not heat-proof. You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing gas consumption as in Fig. 1. It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame enough to keep the boiling point.

HOTPLATES

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should have several characteristics:

BARBECUE IN LAVIC ROCK

To grill meat, fish, sausages, etc. some models are supplied with an electric barbecue. A 12 position switch regulates the temperature of the heating element permitting optimization of cooking. The packet of lavic rock supplied serves to absorb fats from food melted by heat. To put the lavic rock in the container proceed as follows:

- remove the grill above the container as illustrated in figure 2;

- lift the electrical resistance upwards as illustrated in figure 2;

- open the packet of lavic rock and fill the bottom of the container evenly.

The lavic rock must be replaced when it becomes black. It is important to replace it fairly regularly and with good quality material, otherwise it could produce smoke and smells. Lavic rock is easily obtainable in hardware or household equipment stores, etc. Lavic rock can, however, be regenerated and thus re-used by exposing it to a lighted flame. To remove the lavic rock from the container it is sufficient simply to pull the central handle of the container upwards and then remove from the opening.

They should be fairly heavy duty. They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger

for efficient use, NEVER smaller. They should have a flat base to ensure good contact with

the plate. This is particularly important when using pans for high

temperature frying or pressure cooking. Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being spilt

onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with

an empty pan on them.

To obtain the best results, regarding kitchens equipped with hotplates and central grill, remember to remove the grill situated above the hotplate; sothat damagings and overheatings will be avoided.

In models supplied with a cover, if the cover is in glass it should not be closed when the burners are still hot as it could splinter.

GAS OVEN

Ignition: open the oven door and hold a flame to the right-hand side hole as shown in fig. 3; press the oven knob and turn anti-clockwise until the maximum temperature position is reached; press in the oven knob for approximately 5 seconds until the safety valve automatically keeps the oven burner lit. If the burner does not light first time, repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed in slightly longer. Once the oven has been lit, adjust the flame as required.

For automatic ignition: Open the oven door and push and turn the appropriate switch in an anti-clockwise direction to the maximum temperature position (fig. 6); at the same time push the relevant button marked with a small spark. Upon ignition keep the switch pushed in for approximately 5 seconds.

Ignition of the oven burner must be carried out with the oven door open.

When cooking with the oven or grill, the cover must be kept open to avoid over-heating.

In kitchens equipped with thermometer after a few minutes control the indication of thermometer and operate on the oven knob (Fig. 5) to choose the temperature desired. In kitchens equipped with thermostat (Fig. 6), to adjust automatically the flame, after a few minutes turn the knob to the position corresponding to the temperature desired. The oven is equipped with an enamelled dripping-pan which serves to collect the juices which drip from the meat on the grill or on the spit, and a grill for the cooking of foods on the grill or in a pan. In models provided with oven grills with a position catch (fig. 4) and when cooking on the grill or on the spit, you are advised to fit the dripping-pan (A-fig. 4) in the guides beneath the grill (B-fig. 4) to avoid dirtying the oven. When you have to position the dripping-pan above the oven grill during cooking, position it as shown in fig. 4.
