Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

 Any installation work must be undertaken

by a qualified electrician or competent person.

 Installation and initial adjustment of your

oven MUST be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with current regulations. Specific installation instructions for the installer are given in this booklet.

During use

 This appliance has been designed for

cooking edible foodstuffs only, and must not be used for any other purposes.

 Always stand back from the oven when

opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

 It is dangerous to alter the specifications

or modify the product in any way.

 Appliances become very hot with use, and

retain their heat for a long period after use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

 Always ensure that the control knobs are

in the “off” position when not in use.



The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).



Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example

increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present

 For hygiene and safety reasons, this

appliance should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a fire.

 Never line any part of the oven with

aluminium foil.

 Never use steam or steam machines to

clean the appliance.

 Before any maintenance or cleaning work

is carried out on the appliance, always turn off the isolator switch at the cooker point, and allow to cool.

 Ensure that the shelves are put in place in

the correct way.

 This oven (even if it is linked to an electrical

cooking table) is made to function at 230 V monophase with neutral.

Child safety

 This appliance is designed to be operated

by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

 Children should be supervised at all times

and should not be allowed to touch the hot surfaces or be in the vicinity when in use or until the appliance has cooled after use.

 During oven cooking and grilling, the

appliance door and the surrounding parts are warmed up to a very high temperature. Be careful and keep children away from the appliance while you are using it. When you connect other appliances to a plug near the oven, check carefully that the wire does not touch warm parts of the oven and does not get taken in the oven door.

Technical assistance

 This appliance should be serviced by an

authorized Network Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

 Under no circumstances should you

attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

When the oven is first installed

Once the oven has been installed:



a) set the thermostat knob to “MAX”; b) switch the oven function control knob to

conventional cooking ( );

c) allow the oven to run empty for

approximately 45 minutes; d) open a window for ventilation. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of manufacturing. Repeat this operation for the grill and fan cooking function. Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water.

To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the oven accessories.

Gas Hob

Hob Burner Control Knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the front panel (Fig. 1). The symbols on the knobs mean that :

 there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the Burners



 For easier lighting, proceed before



putting a pan on the pan support.

Push in the relevant knob and turn it



anticlockwise to "maximum position". After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2, lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

Then, check the flame is regular and



adjust it as required. If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and "crown" (Fig. 2, lett. A-B) is in the correct position. To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol "".



 Always turn the flame down or put it



out before taking the pans off the

burner.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see table).

It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff

can result in a fire, if over-heated.

Oven Function (Fig. 3) and Thermostat (Fig. 4) control knobs

They enable to select the most appropriate type of heating for the different cooking requirements by appropriately connecting the heating elements and adjusting temperature to the required level.

0 OFF position

Conventional cooking - The heat comes from both the top and bottom

element, ensuring even heating inside the oven.

Grill - The grill element will be on. Bottom heating element - The heat

comes from the bottom of the oven only.

Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simoultaneously

using any shelf, without flavour transference.

Operating control light

It indicates that one or more of the heating elements are turned on.

Oven thermostat control light

This light goes off when the oven heats up to the temperature set and comes on again every time the thermostat cuts in to stabilize temperature.

Safety thermostat

In order to avoid excessive overheating due to incorrect use of the appliance or else to a faulty component, the oven is equipped with a safety thermostat which cuts off the power supply if necessary. Operation is restored automatically when the oven temperature decreases to normal values. Therefore, if the thermostat cuts in because you have not been using the appliance correctly, the oven can be used again simply by waiting for the appliance to cool down. If, instead, the thermostat cuts in because of a faulty component, you should call the Service Department.

Hints and tips for using the oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely normal.

However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

Conventional cooking

Heat comes from the top and from the bottom, therefore it is preferable to use the central runners. If cooking requires more heat from the top or from the bottom use the top or the bottom runners.

The possibility of cooking on several shelf heights means that you can cook several different dishes at the same time and up to three tins of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten immediately or subsequently deep frozen. Naturally the oven can also be used for cooking on just one shelf. In this case you should use the lowest set of runners so that you can keep an eye on progress more easily. In addition, the oven is particularly recommended for sterilizing preserves, cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for drying mushrooms or fruit.

Grilling

When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level depends on the thinckness of the food. Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells.

Fan cooking

The food is cooked by means of preheated air force blown evenly round the inside of the oven by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven itself. Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly and fast and this means that you can simultaneously cook different types of foods positioned on the various oven shelves (Fig. 5). Fan cooking ensures rapid elimination of moisture and the dryer oven environment stops the different aromas and flavours from being transmitted from one food to another.
