The appliance may only be installed in permanently-ventilated rooms, in accordance with current national legislation. The room in which the appliance is installed must be ventilated adequately so as to provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas combustion process (the flow of air must not be lower than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power). The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm2 and should be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial obstruction (see figure A). These inlets should be enlarged by 100% – with a minimum of 200 cm2 – whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety device. When the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided that these are not communal parts of a building, areas with increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a ventilation duct leading outside, as described above.

• After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open a window or increase the speed of any fans used.
• The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing LPG cylinders must have openings leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape easily.

LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should be stored in the room; this should also be kept well away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) that may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.

Positioning and levelling

• It is possible to install the appliance alongside cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the hob surface.
• Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-resistant material (T 90°C).

To install the appliance correctly:

• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bed-sit (not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the appliance must be installed at least 600 mm away from them.
• If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet, there must be a minimum distance of 420 mm between this cabinet and the top of the hob.

This distance should be increased to 700 mm if the wall cabinets are flammable (see figure).

The following minimum clearances to combustible materials must be observed:

• Minimum clearance from edge of burner to side wall must be 200 mm.
• Minimum clearance from edge of burner to rear wall must be 200 mm.
• Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200 mm away from its sides.

Range hoods

• Range hoods and overhead exhaust fans must be installed according to manufacturers’ instructions but in no case shall clearance from hob burners be less than 600 mm for range hoods and 750 mm for overhead exhaust fans.
• If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface of the hob.

Levelling

• If it is necessary to level the appliance, screw the adjustable feet into the places provided on each corner of the base of the cooker (see figure).
• The legs* fit into the slots on the underside of the base of the cooker.

The appliance must not be install ed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating

• Pull open the cover of the terminal board.

To install the cable, proceed as follows:

• Remove the wire clamp screw and the three contact screws L-N-
• Fasten the wires beneath the heads of the screws using the following color scheme : Blue (N) Brown (L) Yellow-Green
• Fasten the supply cable in place with the clamp and close the cover of the terminal board.

Electrical connection
Ovens with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternated current at the supply frequency and voltage indicated on the data plate (at the bottom of the oven dashboard). The earthing conductor of the cable is the yellow-green conductor.

Connecting the power supply cable to the mains.
Fit a normalized plug to the cable, which corresponds to the load indicated on the data plate; if the cooker is connected directly to the mains, an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum opening of 3 mm between the contacts, suitable for the load indicated and complying with current directives, must be installed between the appliance and the mains (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The power supply cable must be positioned so that it does not exceed room temperature by 50°C at any point of its length. Before making the connection check that:

• the limiter valve and the home system can support appliance load (see data plate);
• the power supply system has an efficient earthing connection which complies with the provisions of current regulations and the law;
• there is easy access to the socket or the omnipolar circuit-breaker once the cooker has been installed.
• Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts as these could cause heating or burning.

How to connect an alternative plug

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE “NEUTRAL” (N) BROWN “LIVE” (L) GREEN AND YELLOW “EARTH” (E)

• Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
• The cable must not be bent or compressed.
• The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.

Disconnecting the cable
Ensure that the means for disconnection of the power cable is incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance with local wiring rules. (New Zealand statutory warning): The cooker must be connected to the electricity supply by a cable fitted with an appropriately rated plug that is compatible with the socket-outlet fitted to the final subcircuit in the fixed wiring that is intended to supply this cooker.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose
Make the connection using a gas hose that complies with requirements set forth by the current National Regulations. The appliance is factory set for connection to a natural gas supply. A fitting “R” with a conical thread ISO7-1 (1/2 gas) and a seal “G” is fitted at the end “L” of the pipe to be connected to the gas mains. This fitting should not be removed. When the connection pipe (flexible or rigid) is dismounted, the fitting “R” should be locked in place using a spanner before unscrewing the metal pipe bolt. This is to prevent the fitting “R” from slipping and so as not to cause any leaks from sleeve “L”. If the appliance is designed for left and right gas connection, the cap should be inverted and the seal supplied with the appliance should be replaced when changing the connection.

If a flexible hose is used, it should be as short as possible with a maximum length of 1.5 metres;

• the flexible connection must be approved to class B or D of AS/NZS1869 as a minimum.
• it should not be bent, kinked or compressed;
• it should not be in contact with the rear wall of the appliance or in any case with parts which may reach a temperature of 50°C;
• it should not come into contact with pointed parts or sharp corners;
• it should not be subject to any pulling or twisting forces;
• it should be easy to inspect along its entire length in order to be able to check its condition.
• The supply connection point must be accessible with the appliance installed.
• The inner diameters of the pipe are as follows: 8 mm for LPG; 13 mm for Natural Gas.

Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment
Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with current national legislation.

To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

• Perform the connection in such a way that the hose length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres, making sure that the hose is not compressed and does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the tightness of the connection
Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit.

Duplicate Data Plate
Where the data plate is obscured by cabinetry when the cooker is in the installed position, place a duplicate data plate on a surface of the cabinetry adjacent to the cooker.

Adapting to different types of gas
It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label on the cover).

Start-up and use

Using the hob

Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the flame for the relevant burner. To light one of the burners on the hob:

1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting .
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting , the maximum setting or any position in between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device* (see figure), press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the maximum flame setting, until the burner is lit. The burner may be extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period of time.

• If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
• If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*, press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately3-7 seconds to keep the flame alight and to activate the device.
• Check that the gas has been lit. If the burner fails to ignite try again. If the burner fails to ignite after 3 attempts, wait a few minutes for the gas to disperse before making any further attempts.
• If the burner still fails to ignite, a match or lighting device can be used, but care must be taken. If the problem persists, contact place of purchase or their appointed agent for service.
• If the flame has excessive yellowing, or appears to lift off the burner ports, or makes a loud noise, turn the burner off and call your service agent.
• To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position •.

Flame adjustment according to levels
The burner flame intensity can be adjusted with the knob according to 6 power levels, from maximum to minimum with 4 intermediate positions: a click will indicate the change from one level to another when turning the knob. The system guarantees a more precise adjustment, allows to replicate the flame intensity and to identify easily the preferred level for different cooking operations.

NOTE:
Failure to follow these lighting and shut down procedures might lead to a hazardous condition

Lighting the burners for the first time

• If the appliance is being used for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, it may be necessary to purge the gas lines of excess air before you can successfully light the burners.
• To do this, turn each burner to High for 10-15 seconds and press the ignition button several times. If the burner does not light, repeat this procedure twice more. Wait 1-2 minutes for any gas build up to disperse before allowing any fur-ther gas flow.

Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner:

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the “Technical specifications”.

• For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must be used only for the auxiliary burner, when pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.

Always use cookware with a flat base. Do not use pans which are unstable or which have a warped or damaged base. Ensure the pot sits securely on the trivet and is centred above the burner.

Using

Using the oven

• The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.
• Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.
  • Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is All If maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

OPERATION indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.

Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.

Installing the shelves
When inserting the shelves onto the guide rails, ensure the raised section is towards the rear of the oven. This prevents food from falling off the back of the tray.

Using the cooking timer

1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used as a normal timer.
   • To use the oven manually, in other words when you do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the symbol.

Cooking modes

• A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.

BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.

FAST COOKING mode

• The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven.
• Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.

MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

PIZZA mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.

GRATIN mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.

• The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.

DEFROSTING mode
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° – 100°C.

BOTTOM VENTILATED mode
The bottom heating element and the fan is activated, which allows for the heat distribution within the whole cavity of the oven. This combination is useful for light cooking of vegetables and fish.

BOTTOM mode
The lower heating element is activated. This position is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on the surface but require further cooking in the centre, or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only require moderate colouring on the surface. It should be noted that this function does not allow the maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of 180°C or lower).

• In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

GRILL

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

WARNING!
The oven is provided with a stop system to extract the racks and prevent them from coming out of the oven.(1) As shown in the drawing, to extract them completely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).

Steam-Assisted Oven Cleaning

• This method of cleaning is recommended especially after cooking very fatty (roasted)meats.
• This cleaning process allows to facilitate the removal of dirt of the walls of the oven by the generation of steam that is created inside the oven cavity for easier cleaning.

Important! Before you start steam -cleaning:

• Remove any food residue and grease from the bottom of the oven.
• Remove any oven accessories (grids and drip pans).

Perform the above operations according to the following procedure:

1. pour 300ml of water into the baking tray in the oven, placing it in the bottom shelf. In the models where the drip pan is not present, use a baking sheet and place it on the grill at the bottom shelf;
2. select the function of the oven BOTTOM and set the temperature to 100 ° C;
3. keep it in the oven for 15min;
4. turn off the oven;
5. Once cooled the oven, you can open the door to complete the cleaning with water and a damp cloth;
6. eliminate any residual water from the cavity after finishing cleaning

When the steam –cleaning is done, after cooking especially fatty foods, or when grease is difficult to remove, you may need to complete the cleaning with the traditional method, described in the previous paragraph.

Perform cleaning only in the cold oven!
