ENERGY LABELLING/ECODESIGN

  • Commission delegated regulation (EU) No 65/2014 (supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council).
  • Commission regulation (EU) No 66/2014 (implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council). Reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to establish compliance with the above requirements:
  • Standard EN 15181 (gas ovens).
  • Standard EN30-2-1 (hobs: gas fired burners).

USE OF THE APPLIANCE, ENERGY SAVING TIPS OVEN

  • Check the oven door always closes properly and the door gasket is clean and in order. During use, open the oven door only when strictly necessary to avoid heat losses (for some functions it may be necessary to use the oven with the door half-closed, check the oven operating instructions).
  • Turn off the oven 5-10 minutes before the end of the theoretical cooking time to recuperate the stored heat.
  • We recommend using oven proof dishes and adjusting the oven temperature during cooking if necessary.

HOB
GAS FIRED BURNERS

  • It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the size of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste. A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.
  • Avoid keeping a burner on without something on it (without pot).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EC.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

The cooling fan may even run on after the appliance has been switched off.
The duration of this time is dependent on several factors, including previous cooking temperature, duration and ambient temperature. Times in excess of 30 minutes are not uncommon.

USE OF THE HOB BURNERS

GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in figs. 3.1) which control the safety valves.
Make the symbol of the knob match with the indicator on the control panel (or vice versa) to obtain:

– symbol closed valve
– symbol maximum aperture or flow
– symbol minimum aperture or flow

√ The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
√ To reduce the gas flow to minimum rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
√ Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and closed positions.
Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.
N.B. When the cooker is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.
NOTES:
The knobs and symbols may vary. The symbols may be printed on the knob itself.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

  1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise (fig. 3.2) to the full flame position marked by the symbol (fig. 3.1); hold the knob in until the flame has been lit. In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
  2. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).
  3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed “ ” position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off the control knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob there is a diagram that indicates which burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the capacity used.
The burners and pans must be used in accordance with the following instructions:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS

BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxiliary (with ‘closed’ prongs of pan support) 6 cm 14 cm
Auxiliary (with ‘open’ prongs of pan support) 12 (*) cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Double-ring compact 26 cm 28 cm
Wok (**) Max 36 cm

do not use pans with concave or convex bases
(*) with grill for small cookware: minimum diameter 6 cm.
() only for models with Double-ring compact burner and with wok pan adapter supplied.
It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot. Too large a pot can cause damage to the burner and surrounding  hob area.
CAUTION:** Make sure the pans are central to the burner for maximum stability and greater efficiency.
Make sure the pans are not in contact with the control knobs, otherwise the flame could overheat the knobs and permanently damage them.

SMALL PAN ADAPTER (Some models only) (Type A) (fig. 3.4)
This adapter is to be placed on top of the (smaller) auxiliary burner when using small diameter pans, in order to prevent them from tipping over.

SMALL PAN ADAPTER (Some models only) (Type B)
This adapter is to be placed:

  •  on top of the (smaller) auxiliary burner when using small diameter pans, in order to prevent them from tipping over;
    IMPORTANT: To avoid any burner malfunction, this adapter MUST be placed correctly (figs. 3.5, 3.6).

De Longhi DSC G Gas Range Style Cooker - Fig15

WOK STAND (Some models only) (figs. 3.7a – 3.7b – 3.7c – 3.7d)
Only flat bottom pans of the correct size are to be placed on the pan support above the double-ring compact burner.
When using a WOK, the supplied wok stand must be placed onto the pan stand to avoid any faulty operation of the double-ring compact burner (fig. 3.7a). The wok should not be placed directly onto the pan support without the use of the supplied wok stand (fig. 3.7b).
IMPORTANT:
When using the wok stand it MUST ONLY BE PLACED over the pan support for the double-ring compact burner (fig. 3.7a). Under no circumstances should the wok stand be placed under the pan supports (figs. 3.7c – 3.7d). Incorrect placement of the wok stand in this manner may impinge the flame resulting in incomplete combustion and give rise to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO).
The pan stand and wok stand shown is for illustrative purposes only and may differ slightly in shape to the one supplied with your product.

HOW TO USE THE OVEN

ATTENTION:
The oven door becomes very hot during operation and very hot steam goes out from the area below the control panel. Keep children away.
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.
Do not line the oven walls or floor with aluminium foil. Do not place any trays on the base of the oven chamber.
RISK OF IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE ENAMEL.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The oven is furnished completely clean.
It is advisable however, upon first use, to turn the oven on to the maximum temperature to eliminate possible traces of grease from the oven burner.
The same operation shall be done with the gas grill.
Smells and fumes produced during this burn off process are not a cause of alarm.
Adequate ventilation should however be provided in the room where the appliance is installed, e.g. by opening a window.
This oven is fitted with:

  • One gas oven burner, located at the bottom, providing self-ignition and safety device.
  • One gas grill burner placed on the top, providing self-ignition and safety device.
  • Only for the “fan assisted” models (models having also the position or ) – A fan motor, positioned on the back panel of the oven cavity, which can be used in combination with the oven gas burner or alone, without heating.

IMPORTANT NOTE – It is not possible to use the fan motor in combination with the gas grill: a safety device switches off the fan motor when the gas oven/grill control knob is turned on grill position.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the gas oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by normal convection The heat is produced by the oven gas burner.
b. by forced convection (only for the “fan assisted” models – models having also the position or  ) The heat produced by the oven burner is distributed throughout the oven by the fan. (In the position also the rotisserie motor is operating).
c. by radiation The heat is radiated by the gas grill.
d. by ventilation (only for the “fan assisted” models – models having also the position or )
The food is defrosted by using the fan only without oven burner (this is not a cooking function).
COOLING FAN MOTOR
This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan motor to achieve optimum efficiency of the controls, ensure lower surface temperatures are maintained and cool the internal components.
The cooling fan motor turns on automatically when igniting the oven or grill burner.
It may run on (for various minutes) even after the oven or grill burner has been turned off.
IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Do not use the appliance in case of power failure or if the cooling fan motor is damaged. The appliance may overheat and get damaged due to the non-operation of the cooling fan motor.
  • When the cooling fan motor is operating correctly there is an air flow in the top area of the appliance.

THERMOSTAT
The numbers printed on the control panel or on the knob (fig. 4.2) indicate the increasing oven temperature value (see table below).
To regulate the temperature, set the knob to the chosen number. The “FAN ASSISTED GAS OVEN” column refers to the oven burner used in combination with the fan motor (forced convection cooking: only for the “fan assisted” models – models having also the position or ), while the “GAS OVEN” column refers to the oven burner used in the normal convection mode (without fan motor). The symbol close to the maximum position indicates that the electric ignition is incorporated into the knob (activated by the knob itself).

OVEN BURNER
The gas flow to the burner is regulated by a thermostat which allow to maintain the oven temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is assured by a thermostatic probe positioned inside the oven.
The probe must be always kept in its housing, in a clean condition, as an incorrect position or entrustment may cause an alteration in the control of the temperature.
Moreover, the thermostat is fitted with a safety valve which automatically shuts off the gas supply when the flame goes out.

Important: The manufacturer declines all liability for possible damage caused by the use of unsuitable products to clean the appliance.
Attention! The appliance gets very hot, mainly around the cooking areas. It is very important that children are not left alone in the kitchen when you are cooking. Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make it unsafe.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass or the glass lid (models with glass lid only) since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

  • Door, glass & painted surfaces:
    Clean very carefully with water and neutral soap; the cloth used must be rinsed well and must be free of any cleaning chemicals.

  • Pan stands & burner caps: Clean with a sponge and soapy water or proprietary cream cleaner. Alway dry throughly. DO NOT PUT IN THE DISHWASHER.

  • Burner bodies (aluminium alloy): They should be cleaned with soapy water and a clean cloth. For stubborn stains a proprietary cream or stainless steel cleaner may be used; however to maintain an uniform finish we would recommend the whole area is
    cleaned. NOTE: Please ensure the slots/castellation’s are kept free of any material/cleaner.
    DO NOT PUT BURNER BODIES INTO A DISHWASHER AS THIS MAY TURN THEM BLACK.

  • Inside of oven: The oven should always be cleaned after use when it has cooled down. The cavity should be cleaned using a mild detergent solution and warm water. Suitable proprietary chemical cleaners may be used only on enamel after first consulting the instructions supplied with the oven cleaner and testing a small sample on the oven cavity. Abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads/cloths should not be used on the cavity surface.
    NOTE: The manufacturers of this appliance will accept no responsibility for damage caused by chemical or abrasive cleaning.
    Let the oven cool down and pay special attention not to touch the hot heating elements inside the oven cavity.

ENAMELLED PARTS
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water or other non-abrasive products.
Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.
Acidic substances like lemon juice, tomato sauce, vinegar etc. can damage the enamel if left too long.
STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINIUM PARTS, PAINTED AND SILK-SCREEN PRINTED SURFACES
Clean using an appropriate product.
Always dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: these parts must be cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching and abrasion. You are advised to use a soft cloth and neutral soap.
Note: Continuous use may cause a change in the glaze around the burners, corresponding to the areas exposed to the heat.
ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER DISPLAY CLEANING (some models only)
Clean the programmer display using a soft cloth, warm water and neutral soap, or a soft cloth with a liquid detergent (non-abrasive).
When cleaning, be careful to move the cloth in one direction only.
Then wipe the display with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use chlorine based or acid-based cleaning products, abrasive products or nonneutral detergents as they may cause irreparable damage to the surface.
DO NOT spray cleaning liquids directly on the programmer display.
GLASS CONTROL PANEL (some models only)
Clean using an appropriate product. Always dry thoroughly.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the control panel since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
BURNERS AND PAN SUPPORTS
These parts must be cleaned using a sponge and soapy water or other suitable nonabrasive products. Dry with a soft cloth.
Warning! Not dishwasher safe.
After cleaning, the burners and their flame spreaders must be well dried and correctly replaced.
It is very important to check that the burner flame spreader and the cap have been correctly positioned. Failure to do so can cause serious problems.
Check that the electrode “S” (figs. 7.2, 7.4) is always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.
Check that the probe “T” (figs. 7.2, 7.4) next to each burner is always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves.
Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are not in place.
Note: Continuous use may cause a change in the glaze around the burners and grids, corresponding to the areas exposed to the heat. This is a natural phenomenon and does not prevent the parts from working properly.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE AUXILIARY, SEMI-RAPID AND RAPID BURNERS
It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor “F” and the cap “C” has been correctly positioned (see figs. 7.2, 7.3) – failure to do so can cause serious problems.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE DOUBLE-RING COMPACT BURNER
The Double-ring compact burner must be correctly positioned (see figs. 7.4); the burner rib must be enter in their lodgment as shown by the arrow.
The burner correctly positioned must not rotate (fig. 7.5).
