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.

No gas supply

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;
upon ignition regulate the flame as required.
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 " ".

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

POTTERY

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.

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.

PROGRAMMING OF COOKING

End of cooking digital programmer (Fig. 15)

In some models it has the function of switching off the
oven at the end of pre-selected cooking time.
The programmer has an electric clock which indicates
the time of day and a timer with an acoustic signal.
Fig. 15 illustrates the programmer’s commands;
switches A and B carry out the necessary regulations
foreseen, as follows:

Switch A

Turned in a clockwise direction permits the time shown
on the digital clock to be corrected (at the time of
installation, electricity cuts, to advance or turn back,
etc.).

Switch B

Turned in a clockwise direction sets:
the length of cooking time (max. 210 minutes);

interruption of the acoustic signal (position );
manual operation (position ).
The above signals appear on face C.

Manual operation

The oven can be used normally, i.e. without any
programme. In such case switch B of the programmer
should be turned in a clockwise direction until symbol

SUGGESTIONS FOR GAS BURNERS

Start cooking with a big flame by turning theknob to .
Then adjust the flame as necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside
(nucleus). Accordingly the top of the flame should lick
the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames mean a waste
of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not
require flat-bottomed pans.
The flames lick the bottom and spread the heat all over
the surface.
No special pans are required for gas burners.
However, thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the food
more quickly than thick-walled ones.

Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's bottom,
the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it
is advisable to stir the food many times.
A thick pan bottom prevents partial overheating as it
allows sufficient thermic compensation.
Avoid very small pans. Wide and shallow pans are
more suitable than narrow and deep ones as they allow
a faster heating. Cooking is not quickened by placing
narrow pans on wide burners. The result is just a waste
of gas. For a proper usage, place small pans on small
burners and large pans on large burners.
Remember to cover pans to reduce gas consumption.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPERATING OF OVEN

Traditional cooking

Heat derives from the top and the bottom, it is therefore
preferable to use the central guides. If cooking
requires more heat from the bottom or the top, use the
upper or lower guides.

Convection cooking

Heat is transmitted to food through pre-heated air and
is forcibly circulated inside the oven by a fan positioned
on the back of the oven itself. In this way heat quickly
and uniformly reaches all parts of the oven thus
cooking various foods placed on more than one shelf.
With this type of cooking the elimination of humidity
from the air and a drier environment prevent the
transmission and mixture of smells and tastes.
The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf
consents many various dishes to be prepared at the
same time and up to three trays of biscuits or mini­pizzas to be consumed immediately or to be frozen.
The oven can, however, be used for cooking on only
one shelf. In such case use the lower guides in order
to observe cooking better.
Furthermore, this oven is especially convenient for
quick defreezing, sterilizing preserves, homemade fruit
in syrup and finally to dry mushrooms or fruit.

Cooking with the multi-function oven

With this type of oven it is possible to carry out cooking
traditionally, by convection, by jets of heat and by grill;
it therefore allows cooking to be optimized.

ADVICE FOR USE OF THE TRADITIONAL
OVEN (GAS OR ELECTRIC)

For the cooking of cakes

Pre-heat the oven , unless indicated differently, for at
least 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven
door when cooking dishes which must raise (e.g.

raised pastries and soufflés); the jet of cold air would
block the raising process. To check if cakes are
cooked, insert a toothpick into the mixture; if it comes
out clean the cake is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of
the cooking time has passed before doing this check.
As a general rule remember that:
a dish which is well-cooked on the outside but not
sufficiently cooked inside would have required a lower
temperature and longer cooking time. On the contrary,
a “dry” texture would have required a shorter time and
higher cooking temperature.

For the cooking of meat:

Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1
kilo to avoid its becoming too dry. If you want roasts
with a good colour, use very little oil. If the piece is
lean, use oil or butter or a little of both. Butter or oil are
on the other hand unnecessary if the piece has a strip
of fat. If the piece has a strip of fat on one side only,
put it in the oven with this side upwards; when melting
the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently.
Red meat should be removed from the fridge one hour
before cooking otherwise the sudden change of tem­perature could cause it to become tough. A roast,
especially if of red meat, must not be salted at the
beginning of cooking as salt causes juices and blood
to seep out of the òmeat, thus preventing the formation
of a well-browned crust.
It is advisable to salt the outside of the meat after just
over half the cooking time.
Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim;
a deep dish shields heat.
Meat can be placed on an ovenproof dish or directly
on the grill, under which the dripping pan will be
inserted to collect juice. Ingredients for gravy should
only be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is
brief, otherwise they should be added during the last
half hour.

41

Begin cooking rare meat at a high temperature,
reducing the temperature to finish cooking the inside.
The cooking temperature for white meat can be mode­rate throughout.
The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing the
meat with a fork; if it does not give the meat is cooked.
At the end of cooking it is advisable to wait at least 15
minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices
are not lost.
Before serving plates can be kept warm in the oven at
minimum temperature.

should be positioned in the guides nearest or furthest
from the grill element according to the thickness of the
meat, in order to avoid burning the surface and
cooking the inside insufficiently.
The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and
fat can be avoided by pouring l or 2 glasses of water
into the dripping pan.
The grill can also be used to brown, toast bread and
grill certain types of fruit, such as bananas, halved
grapefruit, slices of pineapple, apples, etc. Fruit
should not be placed too near the source of heat.

For the cooking of fish:

Cook small fish from start to finish at a high tempera­ture. Cook medium-sized fish initially at a high tempe­rature and then gradually lower the temperature.
Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start
to finish.
Check that baked fish is cooked by gently lifting one
side of the gut; the meat must be white and opaque
throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout or
similar.

Grilling

The following types of meat are suitable for grilling.
Mostly meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of various
sizes, but not usually very thick, poultry cut in half and
flattened, fish, some vegetables (e.g. courgettes,
aubergines, tomatoes, etc.), skewers of meat or fish
and seafood.
Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed
with oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be
salted upon completion of cooking; whereas fish
should be salted on the inside before cooking. The grill

Cooking times

Cooking times can vary according to the type of food,
its consistency and its volume. It is advisable to watch
when cooking for the first time and check results since
when preparing the same dishes, in the same
conditions, similar results are obtained.

The “TABLE OF COOKING TIMES” relating to
cooking in the oven and by grill is provided as a gui-

de.
Experience will show possible variations to the values
set out in the table.

Nevertheless carefully follow the indications given
in the receipe you intend to follow.

Attention: do not place any utensils such as dripping

pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex dishes, aluminium
foil or other on the base of the oven when the oven is
in use. A stagnation of heat would result which would
compromise the results of cooking and could damage
the oven enamel.

TIPS ON COOKING WITH CONVENCTION OR MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRIC OVEN

Traditional cooking

Heat is conveyed both from the top and bottom of the
oven; thus, it is advisable to put the pot in the central
shelves position. When a higher heat is required either
from the top or bottom, put the pot in an upper or lower
position.

Suggestions for traditional baking
How to bake cakes

Cooking of cakes require a moderate temperature
(usually ranging between 150/200°C) and a 10-minute
pre-heating of the oven. The door should not be
opened during the first 3/4 of the whole baking time.
Beaten up dough should be firm enough to avoid a
longer baking time. When cakes and canapees are
arranged simultaneously on 3 shelves, a runner
should be skipped between the 2 lower shelves.

How to cook meat and fish

Meat should weigh at least 1 kg to avoid excessive
drying. Very soft red meats, to be left rare or only well­done on the outside while keeping their juices, require
a short but high temperature (200-250°C).
White meat, fowl and fish require a low temperature
(150-170°C).
Ingredients for the gravy should be added to the baking
pan only in the last half hour, unless cooking time is
very short.
The baking point of meat can be checked by pressing

a spoon against the meat. If it feels firm it is properly
cooked, Roastbeef and sirloin require a short cooking
time, as thier insides must keep their redness.
Meat can either be placed an a suitable baking pan or
directly on the grid under which the plate is to be
inserted to collect the juices. When baking time is over
it is advisable to wait at least 15 minutes before slicing
the meat to avoid any spilling of juices.
Dishes can be kept warm in the oven at the lowest tem­perature, before being served.

Grilling

Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable for
thin meat, toast.

Tips on grill cooking

Almost all kind of meat can be cooked with grill, except
for some game lean meat and meat loaves.
Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed
with oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be
salted upon completion of cooking; whereas fish
should be salted on the inside before cooking. The grill
should be positioned in the guides nearest or furthest
from the grill element according to the thickness of the
meat, in order to avoid burning the surface and cooking
the inside insufficiently.
The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and
fat can be avoided by pouring l or 2 glasses of water
into the dripping pan.

MAINTENANCE

Before each operation, disconnect the unit.

Cleaning the cooker

Drops of sauce, fruit juice etc., should be removed as
soon as possible with a soft cloth soaked in warm
detergent water. Do not use steel wool or knives to take
off layers of crust. Remove stubborn marks with a well
wetted soap impregnated pad, but care must be taken
not to scratch the enamel. Wash the enamelled grids
with water and detergent; these can also be washed a
dishwasher.
Take off the burner covers and the grids and wash
them carefully with warm water and detergent. Dry
them well before putting them back in position.
Moreover, make sure that these are properly re-placed.
The burner can be rubbed with steel wool or a slightly
abrasive cloth.
Clean the oven door and crystal cover, in models
equipped with these items, only with warm water, and
avoid the use of rough cloths or abrasive substances;
in cookers with an automatic ignition the sparkling bulb
should be cleaned periodically and accurately to avoid
difficulties in lighting; furthermore check that the burner
holes are not obstructed.

inside the holder itself; otherwise there is the chance
to install inside the holder, instead of the cylinder, (on
request) a set of grills and containers, converting the
cylinder holder into a comfortable closet.

Oven lamp replacement (Fig. 17)

Disconnect the appliance. Unscrew the lamp and
substitute it with another fitting for a higher tempera-
ture (300°C) with the folowing characteristics:
Tension: 230 V (50Hz)
Power: 15W
Convection: E14

Cleaning the oven

Clean carefully the oven cavity after use when it is still
warm. In fact, at this moment it is easy to take off
deposits of fat or other substances such as fruit juice,
sugar particles or fat. You can use warm detergent
water or one of the appropriate spray oven cleaners.
Do not direct the spray at the mat steel parts as this
could damage them and always follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Clean the oven acces­sories (grate, grid-plate etc.) with warm water and
detergent.
Remove possible incrustations with a slightly abrasive
powder.

Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
It would result in an accumulation of heat which
might damage the cooking results and also
damage the enamel.

Controls - Sundries

Periodically check the condition of the flexible pipe of
gas connection and make it replaced by skilled
technicians as soon as it shows abnormalities. Annual
replacement is recommended.
Have the cocks periodically lubricated by skilled
technicians. In case of unusual working have the range
checked by skilled technicians.
In ranges with cylinder holder, do not use this space to
leave a non-connected or an empty cylinder.

rules UNI - CIG 7129 - 7131.
The manufacturing company release the unit, once
tested, adjusted for the kind of gas stated on the rating
plate located on the back of the range, next to
connection pipe. Be sure that you are going to connect
the unit to the same kind of gas written on the plate.
Otherwise, follow all the instructions of the paragraph
"REGULATION TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF GAS".
For best efficiency and lowest consumption, be sure
that manifold gas pressure respects the values in the
table of "Burners characteristics".
If gas pressure is different (or variable) from the proper
one, a suitable pressure regulator should be installed
on feeding pipe.
The use of pressure regulators for liquid gas (LPG) is
allowed provided they are modelled in conformity with
the regulations UNI-CIG 7432.

CONNECTION USING A RIGID PIPE OR A
FLEXIBLE METAL PIPE

To ensure higher safety, it is recommended to carry out
the connection to the gas system using rigid pipes (ex.
copper) or using flexible stainless steel pipes (UNI ­CIG 9891), not to cause any stress to the unit.
Gas feeding pipe fitting is Gc 1/2.

IMPORTANT

Once installation is complete, check the perfect seal of
every pipe fitting, using a soapy solution, never a flame.

For this type of installation, connection to the gas
supply should be carried out using only and exclusively
flexible metallic tubes in conformity with UNI 9891/
class 2 sub-class 1.

CONNECTION USING FLEXIBLE,
NON METAL PIPES

When the connection can be easily inspected in its full
extent, there is the chance to use a flexible pipe
according to the rules UNI-CIG 7140.
The flexible pipe must be tightly fixed using clamps
according to the rule UNI-CIG 7141.
The flexible pipe should be made ready for use in such
a way that:

- nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other than
room temperature, higher than 30°C; if the flexible
pipe, to reach the cock, must run behind the range,
it must be installed as shown in Fig. 25;

- it is no longer than 1500 mm;

- it shows no throttles;

- it is not subject to traction or torsion;

- it doesn't get in touch with cutting edges or corners;

- it can be easily inspected in order to check its
condition.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The unit is preset to work with a voltage of single phase
230 V.
Before making the connection make sure that: the
energy power available in the user's house is sufficient
for the normal supply of this appliance (see rating
plate). The unit is correctly connected to earth through
a suitable plug and according to the installation country
Laws.
The socket or the omnipolar switch used for the
connection must be easilv reached with the installed
appliance. The appliance is supplied without electric
cord: consequently, you have to install a plug fit for the
load shown in the serial number plate. The plug has to
be connected to an adequate socket.
If you wish to directly connect to the mains, you have
to interpose an omnipolar switch with a minimum
opening between contacts of 3 mm, between the unit
and the mains, complying with the existing regulations.
The brown live wire (originating from the clamp of the
cooker junction box) must always be connected to the
phase of the mains supply. In any case, the supply cord
must be positioned in such a way as it doesn't reach in
any point a temperature higher by 50°C than the room
temperature.
Should the supply cord need to be replaced, it is
necessary that the yellow/green earth wire is about

2cm longer than the live and neutral ones (Fig. 35).
After the connection, test the heating elements for
about 3 minutes to ensure that they are working
correctly.

The manufacturer refuses any responsability in
cases where normal safety measures are not
observed.

WHAT TO DO IF THE APPLIANCE DOESN'T WORK

If the appliance doesn't work properly check the
following points before asking for service:

The flow of gas seems abnormal

Make sure that:
— the flame speader holes are not obstructed;
— the pressure regulator is working;
— the bottle valve is completely open.

Gas smelle in the room

Make sure that:
— the gas valve is not open;
— the gas supply tube is well positioned and in good

condition; remember to replace it at least once a
year.

Never look for an escape of gas with a match;
instead use soap and water.

The oven doesn't heat

Make sure that the oven knobs are in the correct
worrking positions.

Cooking time is too long

Check that the temperature is correct for the type of
food to be cooked.

The cooker smokes

We advise you to clean the oven after use. Splashes
of fat can occur during the cooking of meat and, if the
oven isn't cleaned properly, these produce smoke and
bad smell. (see paragraph concerning cleaning).

The oven lamp doesn't work

The lamp has burnt out. To replace it follow the
instructions given in the relative paragraph.

If, after following all the above checks the appliance still
doesn't work, call your nearest Service Centre givin
them all the necessary information, such as model and
serial number of the appliance.

MAINTENANCE - TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

The gas cocks must be periodically lubricated to
ensure good working and safety.
Maintenance should be performed as follows:
Remove the knob and panel after having taken out
fastening screws.
Loosen the two screws located at the sides of the cock
bar.
Remove the cone and clean it carefully.
Then, apply a thin layer of grease non soluble in water,
suitable for gas cocks. Take care not to obstruct the
gas flow holes by an excess of grease. Reassemble
the whole with utmost care performing the operations
described above inversely.
