Gas connection
Assembly of gas supply and leakage check
Connect the appliance in accordance with applicable local and international standards and regulations. First, check what type of gas is installed on the cooker. This information is available on a sticker on the back of the cooker. You can find the information related to appropriate gas types and appropriate gas injectors in the technical data table. Check that the feeding gas pressure matches the values on the technical data table, to be able to get the most efficient use and to ensure the minimum gas consumption. If the pressure of used gas is different than the values stated or is not stable in your area, it may be necessary to assemble an available pressure regulator on the gas inlet. You should contact an authorised service centre to make these adjustments.

Points that must be checked during flexible hose assembly

• If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose fixed onto the gas inlet of the hob, it must be fixed on by a pipe collar.
• Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is as close as possible to the gas source.
• The permitted maximum length of the hose is 1.5 m.
• The hose that supplies the appliance with gas must be changed once a year for your safety.
• The hose must be kept clear of areas that may heat up to temperatures of more than 90°C.
• The hose must not be cracked, torn, bent or folded.
• Keep the hose clear of sharp corners and objects that could move.
• Before you assemble the connection, you must make sure the hose is not damaged. Use bubbly water or leakage fluids to perform the check. Do not use a naked flame to check for gas leakage.
• All metal items that are used during gas connection must be free from rust. Check the expiry date of any components used for connection.

Points that must be checked during fixed gas connection assembly

The method used to assemble a fixed gas connection (gas connection made by threads, e.g. a nut varies according to the country you are in. The most common parts for your country will be supplied with your appliance. Any other parts required can be supplied as spare parts.
During connection, always keep the nut on the gas manifold fixed while rotating the counter-part. Use appropriately-sized spanners for a safe connection. For surfaces between different components always use the seals provided in the gas conversion kit.
The seals used during connection should also be approved to be used in gas connections. Do not use plumbing seals for gas connections.
Remember that this appliance is ready 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 may be required. In such a case, contact local authorities to learn the correct gas connection.

Bringing it all together

WARNING: The Cooker must be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified gas registered technician in accordance with current safety legislation.
WARNING: Do not use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.

Gas conversion
Your appliance is designed to be operated with LPG/ NG gas. The gas burners can be adapted to different types of gas, by replacing the corresponding injectors and adjusting the minimum flame length suitable to the gas in use. For this purpose, the following steps should be performed:

Changing injectors
Hob burners

• Cut off the main gas supply and unplug the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
• Remove the burner caps and the adapters.
• Use a 7 mm spanner to unscrew the injectors.
• Replace the injector with the ones from the gas conversion kit, with the correct diameters for the type of gas that is going to be used, according to the gas injector table.

Oven/Grill (if available) Injectors
Removal of the Cathedral Burner: The burner protection sheet is fixed with two screws. As shown in figure 8, use a screwdriver to remove it. As shown in figure 9, press the spring clip in the direction of the arrow to remove the burner from the slot. As shown in figure 10, remove the injector in the bearing with a socket wrench. In order to re-place the burner,apply the removal process reversely.

WARNING: This appliance must be installed by an authorised service person or qualified technician.
Remove the injectors using a 7mm spanner and replace the injector with the ones from the spare set. Make sure you use 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 gas conversion kit).

Adjusting the minimum flame position
First of all, make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the mains electrical supply and that the gas feed is open. The minimum flame position is adjusted with a flat screw located on the valve. As shown in the figures below; 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 adjusting the flame position easier, we recommend that you remove the control panel (and the micro switch if your model has one) during the alteration. The bypass screw must be loosened for conversion from LPG to natural gas. For conversion from natural gas to LPG, the bypass screw must be tightened.

Determining the minimum flame position
To determine the minimum position, ignite the burners and leave them on in the minimum position. Remove the knobs to gain access to the screws. With the help of a small screwdriver, fasten or loosen the bypass screw by 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 towards the flame to see if the flames are stable.

For the oven burner, operate the oven burner at the minimum 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 this 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 above.

Functions

Simple everyday use

Use of gas burners
Ignition of the burners
The position symbol above each control knob indicates the burner that the knob controls.

Ignition by igniter button: Push in the knob of the burner you wish to ignite and keep it pressed while turning it anti-clockwise until the knob is in Maximum position, now press the Igniter button which will create sparks at the burner – Do not continuously operate the igniter for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite – Wait for 60 seconds before trying again.

Manual ignition of the gas burners
If the igniter fails for any reason, follow the procedures listed below.

For hob burners: Push in the knob of the burner you wish to ignite and keep it pressed while turning it anti-clockwise until the knob is in the ‘maximum’ position. Continue pressing the knob and hold a lit match, taper or other manual aid to the upper circumference of the burner. Move the ignition source away from the burner as soon as you see a stable flame.

For oven burner: Push in and turn the oven control knob anti-clockwise until the knob is in the ‘maximum’ position. Hold a lit match, taper or other manual aid to the ignition hole that is located on the front left corner of the burner. Move the ignition source away as soon as you see a stable flame.

For grill burner: Push in and turn the grill control knob clockwise until the marker on the knob points at the grill sign. Continue pressing the knob and hold a lit match, taper or other manual aid to the holes on the burner. Move the ignition source away from the burner as soon as you see a stable flame.

Electrical ignition by spark button
Push in the knob of the burner you wish to ignite and keep it pressed while turning it anti-clockwise until the knob is in the ‘maximum’ position. While keeping the knob pressed in, push the ignition button. Make sure that you press the ignition button  immediately as a delay could cause a build up of gas which may result in the flame spreading. Continue pressing the ignition button until you see a stable flame on the burner.

Flame safety device
Hob burners
Hobs equipped with a flame failure device provide security in case of an accidentally extinguished flame. If such a case occurs, the device will block the burners gas lines and will avoid any accumulation of unburned gas. Wait 90 seconds before re-igniting an extinguished gas burner.

Oven / Grill Burners
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 ignition procedure. 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. If the oven flames go out accidentally, repeat the same procedure.

1.2. Hob Controls
Hob burner
The knob has 3 positions: off (0), maximum (big flame symbol) and minimum (small flame symbol). Ignite the burner with the knob in the ‘maximum’ position; you can then adjust the flame length between the ‘maximum’ and ‘minimum’ positions. Do not  operate the burners when the knob is between the ‘maximum’ and ‘off’ positions.

After ignition, visually check the flames. If you see a yellow tip, lifted or unstable flame, switch the gas flow off, then check the assembly of burner caps and crowns once they have cooled. Make sure there is no liquid in the burner caps. If the burner flames go out accidentally, switch the burners off, ventilate the kitchen with fresh air and wait at least 90 seconds before attempting re-ignition.

To switch the hob burners off, turn the hob burner knob clockwise to the ‘0’ position or so that the marker on the hob burner knob points upwards.
Your hob has burners of different diameters. You will find that the most economical way of using gas is to choose the correct size gas burner for your cooking pan size and to bring the flame to the ‘minimum’ position once boiling point is reached. We recommend that you always cover your cooking pan to avoid heat loss.
To obtain maximum performance from the main burners, we suggest you use pots with the following flat bottom diameters. Using pots smaller than the minimum dimensions shown below will cause energy loss.

Pan Sizes

Wok Burner – Offers a double ring flame system which delivers high temperatures that are idea for hot / fast cooking.

Make sure that the tips of the flames do not spread out from the outer circumference of the pan, as this may harm plastic accessories, such as handles.
Switch the main gas control valve off when the burners are not in use for prolonged periods of time.

WARNING:

• Only use flat-bottomed pans with thick bases.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the burner.
• The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. It is imperative that children and animals are kept well away from 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 it.
• Never place knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob as they will get hot and could cause serious burns.
• Do not allow pan handles or any other cooking utensils to project over the edge of the cooker top.

Oven Burner Controls
After you ignite the oven burner, you can adjust the temperature inside the oven, as required, using the temperatures on the control panel.

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 that there is sufficient room around the baking tray / dish to allow for maximum circulation.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce the amount of cleaning required.
• The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamel, dark, heavy or nonstick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and reduce base browning.
• When cooking more than one dish in the oven, place the 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 remove the top tray when the food on it is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning. Use the lower shelf position.

Grill Burner Controls
