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.

 Ensure that air can circulate around the gas

appliance. Poor ventilation can produce a lack of oxygen.

 Avoid installation of the cooker near inflammable

material (e.g. curtains, tea towels, etc.).

Child Safety

 This appliance has been designed for use by adults.

Take care, therefore, that children do not attempt to play with it.

 The appliance remains hot for a long time after being

switched off. Supervise children at all times, paying attention that they do not touch surfaces or remain in the vicinity of the appliance when in use or when not completely cooled.

During Operation

 This product is intended for the cooking of food and

must not be used for other purposes.

 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.

 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.

 Always ensure that the knobs are in the « »

(Stop) position when the appliance is not in use.

 Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill

or when cooking meat on the grid. 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.

 The accessories (grid and dripping pan) should be

washed before using for the first time.

 Take care when using cleaning products in spray

form: 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.

 For reasons of hygiene and safety this appliance

must always be kept clean. A build up of grease or other food can cause fires.

 The 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.  Ensure that the oven grids 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.

Service

 In case of repairs, do not attempt to correct yourself.

Repairs carried out by unqualified persons can cau-

se damage. Contact an authorized Technical

Assistance Centre and insist an original spareparts.

OVEN DOOR PROTECTION DEVICE

All our appliances comply with the European Safety Standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid little children to be exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special protection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code (35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating plate. Fitting instructions are provided with the kit package.

Hints and Tips

Environmental information

This appliance complies with the following

Directive);  93/68 (General Directives); and subsequent modifications.

Using the hob

Electric hotplates

The control panel incorporates knobs (fig. 1) to operate the four hot plates. There are two different types of plates.

Normal

This is a 7 position control knob: 0 = off and 1-6 indicate the levels of power uo to the mawimum.

Rapid hot Plate

This type is indicated by a red circle in the middle of the plate. The red circle is painted on and so will deteriorate and may come off completely over a period of time. A rapid plate will heat up much more quickly than a normal plate.

Hints and tips

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

- they should be 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 (Fig. 2).

This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking. Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them.

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care must be taken as these can self-ignite when over-heated.

Normal and rapid plates: For best results we advise you to initially regulate the switch to rapid to accelerate the heating of the plate and then turn the switch to the position most suitable for the food to be cooked.

First use

When using the hob for the first time, it is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few minutes.

Pots and pans

Remember that a large recipient offers a larger surface to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow recipient. Always use recipients of a size suitable for the food to be cooked. In particular, take care that recipients are not too small for liquid preparations which could easily spill over or that they are not too big for food which must be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are easily burnt by fats and juice. For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not open. A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar which, when spilling onto the bottom of the oven, caramelize and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic handles in the oven as they may not support the heat.

Electric oven

To select the temperature turn the switch in a clockwise direction and place sign in front of the symbol corresponding to the temperature required, included between 50° C and max. The temperature will be maintained constant by the thermostat. If a different type of heating is required, for example more heat on the bottom or the top, you should turn the switch

to the symbols (heat from below) or (heat from above).

In these conditions the temperature will never exceed 220°C for and 180°C for and will not be regulated by the thermostat.

When grilling, it is sufficient to turn the switch so that the sign is in front of the symbol .

When the grill is in use the oven door must be left ajar and the switch protection shield inserted (Fig. 4 and 5).

When cooking in the oven or grill, in order to avoid over-heating, always leave the appliances cover open.

Dripping pan and oven grill

The oven is supplied with an enamelled dripping pan for the collection of cooking juices from grilled meat or kebabs, and a grill for cooking grilled food, which can also be placed in a dish. In models equipped with an oven grill with stopper (fig. 6) and when grilling, to avoid dirtying the oven excessively, we advise you to insert the dripping pan (A-fig. 6) in the specific grids, situated under the grill (B-fig.6). If you need to cook with the dripping pan on the oven grill, place as shown in Fig. 6.

Switches off when the oven reaches the selected temperatue and re-lights each time the thermostat intervenes to maintain the temperature.

Defrosting

Turn the switch to the position . In this function, the electric ventilator fans cold air inside

the oven, which begins to defreeze food. When the cooking selector switch (Fig. 2) is placed in

position regulate the thermostat (Fig. 3) to position l.

First use of 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.
