Read the manual carefully to familiarise yourself with the functions of the appliance so that you know how to use it successfully and safely. The information below contains rules that are necessary for positioning it correctly and for any service work that may need to be done. All information should be read without fail, especially by the technician who will position the appliance.
PLEASE CONTACT AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TO INSTALL THE COOKER FOR YOU
POSITIONING YOUR APPLIANCE
- Your cooker must be positioned and used in a place where it will always have ventilation.
- There has to be enough natural ventilation to allow the gas to be used in your kitchen.
- The airflow must come directly from air holes/vents that are open to the outside air and let air flow in and out.
- The ventilation must have an area of at least 100cm² to allow enough air circulation to be effective (One or more air holes/vents can be opened).
- The air holes/vents must be opened so that it doesn’t prevent air from getting in.
- Ideally, they must be placed close to the bottom of the cooker and on the opposite side tow here burned gas is being expelled.
- If it’s not possible to place air vents in the same place as the position of the appliance, the required ventilation can come from an adjacent room, providing that this place isn’t a bedroom or a dangerous area.
- Expelling burned gases from the cooking environment Gas fuelled appliances remove the leftover burned gas from cooking either directly outside or through a cooker hood that’s connected to a chimney that opens directly to the outside.
- If it is impossible to install a cooker hood near the cooker, you must set an electric fan on the nearest window or wall that has access to fresh air.
This electric fan must have the capacity to change the air of the kitchen environment 4-5 times of its own volume of air per hour.
Installing your cooker
There are several factors to consider when choosing a place for your cooker.
Follow our advice below in order to prevent any problems and dangerous
situations from
happening.
- Furniture can be placed in the surrounding area of the cooker, providing that the furniture’s height does not exceed the height of the cooker panel.
- When choosing a place for your cooker, do not place it near a refrigerator and make sure there are no flammable or combustible materials in the surrounding area that could catch fire with a cooker nearby, such as curtains, oil, cloth etc.
- Make sure there is at least a 2cm gap between the back cover of the cooker and the wall to help the air circulate.
- Any furniture near the cooker must be made of materials that are resistant to heat up to 100°C.
- Any kitchen furniture higher than the cooker top must be at least 10cm away from the cooker’s side.
- The minimum height between the cooker top and any existing wall cupboards and extractor fans with furniture fascias are shown above. Extractor fans inside a kitchen cabinet must be at a minimum height of 650mm from the cooker top. For exposed extractor fans, this height must not be less than 700mm.

Remember that this appliance is prepared to be connected to the gas supply in the country for which it has been produced. The main country of destination is marked on the rear cover of the appliance. If you need to use it in another country, any of the connections in the figure below can be required. In such a case, learn the appropriate connection parts and obtain those parts to perform a safe connection.
You must call a qualified and certified registered gas fitter to connect the gas to the appliance for you so that it’s done safely, appropriately and in compliance with safety standards.
WARNING: Do not use any match or lighter to control a gas leak.
Electrical connection and safety measures
When it comes to connecting your appliance, please follow the instructions
below carefully:
- The earthing cable (the green and yellow wire) must be connected to the earth terminal. Make sure the insulated cable is connected to a power source during the connection of the cable.
- If there is not any appropriate earthed electrical outlet that conforms to regulations then call an authorised service immediately.
- The earthed electrical outlet must be near to the appliance – never use an extension cord.
- Make sure the supply cable doesn’t touch the product surface, because the appliance surface gets hot during use.
- In case of any damage to the supply cable, you must call and arrange a certified and qualified electrician to replace the cable for you.
- You may damage the appliance if it’s wired incorrectly. Any damage due to incorrect wiring will not be covered under the warranty.
- This appliance is designed to connect to a 230 V 50Hz of electricity. If your electricity supply is different than the value above, then call a qualified and authorised service immediately.
- The electric cable must not touch hot parts of the appliance or the back of the appliance, otherwise the cable may get damaged and cause the appliance to short-circuit.
- The manufacturer declares that it has no responsibility against any kind of damages or losses that are caused by improper connections that are performed by unauthorized people.
CONVERTING THE GAS
Caution: The following procedures must be undertaken by authorized
service personnel.
You appliance can be adjusted to operate with LPG or Natural Gas. The burners
can be altered to work with different types of gas by switching their
injectors and adjusting the minimum flame length suitable to the gas in use.
To change the injectors, these steps must be followed:
Changing injectors:
Hob Burners:
- Turn off the gas and electric supply that’s going to the appliance.
- Remove the hob cap and the adaptor.
- Unscrew the injectors using a 7mm spanner.
- Replace the injectors with the ones from the spare set, and use the information chart that’s provided with the spare set to fit the injectors on with the correct diameters suited to
the gas fuel that is going to be used.
Changing the Oven/Grill injectors:
The oven and grill injectors are assembled by a single screw that is on the
tip of the burner. For grill burners, this screw is already visible. Remove
the screw and pull the grill burner
towards you and you will see the injector revealed on the rear surface of the
oven cavity. For oven burners, open the drawer compartment and you will see
the assembly screw below the burner. Remove the screw, move the burner
diagonally and the injector will be revealed on the rear side of the burner
box.
Remove the injectors with a 7mm spanner and replace the injector with the ones
from the spare set, with corresponding diameters suitable to the type of gas
that is going to be used, according to the information chart (which is also
supplied in the spare set).
Adjusting the minimum flame position:
First of all, make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the electric
current and the gas feed is open. The minimum flame position is adjusted with
a flat screw located on the valve. For valves with a flame failure safety
device, the screw is located on the side of the valve spindle and for valves
without a flame failure safety device, the screw is located inside the valve
spindle. To make this easier, we recommend to remove the control panel (and
the micro switch if your model has one) during the alteration. It you want to
go from natural gas to LPG the screw must be tightened and from LPG to natural
gas, the screw must be loosened.
Determining the minimum flame position
To determine the min. position, ignite the burners and leave them on in the
minimum position. Remove the knobs because the screws are accessible only when
the knobs are removed. With the help of a small screwdriver fasten or loosen
the bypass screw around 90 degrees. When the flame has a length of at least
4mm, the gas is well distributed. Make sure that the flame does not die out
when passing from the maximum position to the minimum position. Create an
artificial wind with your hand toward the flame to see if the flames are
stable. For the oven burner, operate the oven burner at the min. position for
5 minutes, then open and close the oven door 2-3 times to check the flame
stability of the burner.
Changing the gas inlet:
For some countries, the gas inlet type can be different for NG/LPG gases. In
such a case, remove the current connection components and nuts (if any) and
connect the new gas supply accordingly. In all conditions, all components used
in gas connections should be approved by local and/or international
authorities. In all gas connections, refer to the “ASSEMBLY OF GAS SUPPLY AND
LEAKAGE CHECK” clause explained before.
PART 4: USING THE PRODUCT
Using the gas burners
Ignition of the burners
To determine which knob controls which burner, check the position symbol above
the knob.
Manual ignition of the gas burners
If your appliance does not come with an automatic ignition or in the event
there is a power cut and the automatic ignition is not working, follow the
steps below to ignite the burner:
- For hob burners: To ignite one of the burners, press and turn one of the knobs counterclockwise so that the knob is in the maximum position. Then get a match, candle or other manual lighter to light the gas and move it away once it ignites.
- For Oven burners: To ignite the oven burner, press and turn one of the knobs counter-clockwise so that the knob is in the maximum position. Then get a match, candle or other manual lighter and hold it up to the ignition hole that is located on the front left corner of the burner and move the light source away once you see a stable flame.
- For Grill burners: To ignite the grill burner, press and turn one of the knobs counter-clockwise so that the knob is on the grill symbol. Then get a match, candle or other manual lighter and hold it up to the ignition holes that are located on the burner and move the light source away once you see a stable flame.
Electrical Ignition
Electrical ignition of gas burners can be done in two ways; depending on the
configuration of your appliance. Ignition by Spark Button: Press the valve of
the burner you want to operate and turn the valve in the counter-clockwise
direction so that the knob is in the max. position and with your other hand,
press the ignition button at the same time. Press the ignition button
immediately, because if you wait, a build up of gas may cause the flame to
spread. Continue pressing the ignition button until you see a stable flame on
the burner.
Flame safety device:
Hob Burners
Hob burners that come with a flame failure safety device will give your
kitchen extra security should a gas flame on the hob extinguish during use. If
a flame does extinguish, the device will cut off the gas supply immediately to
prevent unburned gas from leaking into the room. Wait 90 seconds before re-
igniting an extinguished gas burner.
Oven / Grill Burners
Regardless of the model of your appliance, all oven burners are equipped with
a gas safety device. For this reason, during ignition, keep the oven knob
pressed until you see stable flames. If the flames are cut out after you
release the knob, repeat the procedure again. If the oven burner does not
ignite after you keep the burner knob pressed for 30 seconds, open the oven
door and do not attempt re-ignition for at least 90 seconds. When oven flames
go out accidentally, repeat the same procedure.
Controlling the hob burners
The knob has 3 positions: Off (0), max (big flame symbol) and min (small flame
symbol). After you ignite the burner in max. position; you can adjust the
flame length between max. and min. positions. Do not operate the burners when
the knob position is between max. and off positions.
After the ignition, check the flames visually. If you see yellow tip, lifted
or unstable flames; turn the gas flow off, and check the assembly of burner
caps and crowns. Also, make sure that no liquid has flown into the burner
cups. If the burner flames go out accidentally, turn the burners off,
ventilate the kitchen with fresh air, and do not attempt re-ignition for 90
sec.
When turning the hob off, turn the knob in the clockwise direction so that the
knob shows “0” position or the marker on the knob points upwards.
Your hob has different sized burners. The most economical way of using the gas
is to make sure you use a pan that is the correct size for the gas burner, and
then bringing the flame to a minimum position once the boiling point has been
reached. We recommend you always
use a pan with a lid.
To get the best performance possible from your burners, use pots and pans with
the diameters listed below. These are the dimensions for the flat base of the
cookware. Using smaller pots than the minimum dimensions below will cause
flames to escape around the pan, causing energy loss.
- Rapid Burner: 22-26cm
- Medium Burner: 14-22cm
- Auxiliary Burner: 12-18cm
Make sure that the burner flames do not go around the edge of the pan, as then may melt or damage the plastic accessories around the pan, such as the handles.
When the burners are not in use for prolonged periods, always turn the main gas control valve off.
WARNING:
- Use only flat pans with a sufficiently thick base.
- Ensure that the base of the pan is dry before placing it on the burners.
- The temperature of accessible parts may be high when the appliance is operating. So it is imperative to keep children and animals out of the reach of the burners during and after cooking.
- After use, the hob remains very hot for a prolonged period of time, do not touch it and do not place any object on top of the hob.
- Never place knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob as they will get hot and could cause serious burns.
Controlling the oven burner
After you ignite the oven burner as explained before, you can adjust the
temperature inside the oven as you require, using the numbers around the
control knob: Bigger numbers mean higher temperatures, while smaller numbers
mean lower temperatures. If your oven is equipped with an oven thermostat;
refer to the temperature table below for the temperature references of those
numbers. Do not operate the appliance between “Off” position and first
temperature marker in the counter-clockwise direction. Always use the oven
between max. and min. numbers. When turning the oven off, turn the knob in the
clockwise direction so that the knob shows “0” position.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 10 minutes. For
recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés
etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
Cooking:
- Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for the heat to circulate evenly around the whole dish.
- Place dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf so that no food overflows onto the base of the oven to help reduce cleaning.
- The material and finish of a tray will affect how well the base of a dish browns. Enamel, dark, heavy or non-stick cookware increase base browning whereas shiny aluminium or polished steel trays will reflect the heat away and reduce base browning.
- When cooking more than one dish in the oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results.
- If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays during cooking or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
- Do not place baking trays directly into the base of the oven as it will obstruct the air circulation and can lead to burnt food. Use the lowest shelf position instead.
These temperature settings may change slightly when both top and main ovens are operated together.
Controlling the grill burner
The grill can be operated with the oven door open in two positions, depending
on your cooking preference:
- Completely open.
- Partially open at a 30° angle.
Cooking:
- The grill burner can be modulated between max. and min. positions as indicated on the symbols surrounding the control knob. To turn the grill burner off, turn the knob to the “0” position.
- Place the chrome grid on the topmost shelf, but make sure that your food does not touch the grill burner.
- Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimize splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.
- Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for the heat to circulate evenly around the whole dish.
- Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.
- If your appliance has a grill pan and handle set as an accessory, refer to the accessories section for its usage.
WARNING : Make sure that the grill is turned off before closing the door.
Oven accessories
You can use glass containers, cake cutters and other oven safe trays found in
retailers but they must be heat and flame resistant. If you aren’t sure about
the use of a certain cookware, follow the information given by the
manufacturer concerning this issue.
Small cookware
If you want to use small sized containers for cooking, place it on the inner
grill wire in the centre.
Enamel cookware
You might notice your tray deforming during cooking on a high temperature.
This is perfectly normal, and happens when heat is transferred to the tray.
This can happen if:
- The food does not completely cover the oven tray
- The food is taken out of the freezer
- The tray is being used to collect the dripping juices of food being grilled.
Glass cookware
If you have just cooked with a glass tray or container, do not leave or place
the hot glassware on cold or wet surfaces. This will cause the glass to crack.
Make sure they can cool off slowly by placing them on a dry piece of cloth,
like a tea towel.
Grilling cookware
When grilling, we recommend you use the grill pan set that’s included with
your cooker. The pan will capture splattering and dripping oils, preventing
the oven from
getting dirty.
If you are going to use the large wire grill, insert a tray into one of the
lower racks in the oven to avoid a build-up of oil. To make cleaning easier,
add some water into it as
well. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop foods sticking.
As explained before, never use the gas grill burner without the heat shield.
If your oven has a gas fuelled grill but the heat shield is missing or cannot
be used, request a spare one from the manufacturer.
Oven Accessories
This instruction manual has been written with our other cookers in mind, as
well as your model, therefore some of the accessories of your cooker may be
different to the accessories listed below.
PART 5: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
