Installation environment

WARNING

This unit can be installed and can work only in constantly ventilated rooms, according to the national rules in force. In order for the gas cooker to work properly, it is necessary that sufficient air for gas combustion can flow naturally into the room. The air flow into the room must come directly through openings of external walls. These openings must have a free passage of at least 100cm²(one or more openings can be made). These openings (or opening) should be realized in such a way not to be obstructed both from inside and outside and preferably positioned near the floor, opposite the combustion products discharge. In case these systems can’t be realized in the room where the unit is installed, the necessary air can come from a room nearby, provided that this room is not a bedroom or a dangerous environment and it is ventilated as requested, from national rule in force.

Combustion Products Discharge
Gas cooking units must discharge combustion products through hoods directly connected to flues or outside. In case the hood can’t be installed, it is recommended to use an electric fan applied to the external wall or to the window of the room, with condition that openings to let air flow in the room are realized. This electric fan must be powerful enough to ensure in a kitchen an air replacement of 3 to 5 times its volume per hour.

WARNING: If the oven touches the side of other pieces of the kitchen furniture, ensure they can withstand a temperature of 75℃.

Electrical connection
Before you connect the gas cooker, please check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate to ensure that it corresponds to the mains power supply available. Appliance must be connected with mains supply outlet. The ground wires are easily recognized by its green and yellow colour. Make sure that the “line” and “neutral” wires are installed into their correct terminals. The installation must be carried out by an authorized electrician only. Before connecting to the electric supply, make sure that:

1. The protection fuse and the domestic wiring are suitable to carry the total electric load of the cooker.
2. The electricity supply network (mains) has an efficient earth connecting according to the established rules and existing regulations.
3. The cooker wire is long enough to reach the socket from where your cooker is situated.

THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENT CAUSED BY NON OBSERVANCE OF SAFETY INSTRUCTION.

Gas hose connection

First connect one end of the rubber hose to the gas regulator and tighten it with a hose clamp. The other end should be pushed tightly into the gas hose connector. Tighten it with a hose clamp, make sure that both ends are tighten otherwise gas might leak and this could be dangerous. Make sure all the control knobs are in the “off” position before connecting the gas supply. Connect the gas regulator to the LPG tank and your units ready for use.
Whenever connecting the hose to the cooker please ensure:

1. The hose does not exceed a length of 1 meter.
2. The hose must not be very tight or twisted and must not show any sharp bends or kinks. If there is a leak don’t repair but replace it.
3. 3. The hose must not touch the back of the cooker.

Upon completing the installation, check and make sure that all pipes and hoses are connected correctly. Always use soapy water to check gas leaking. For safety reasons we would advise you to inspect and change the rubber hose for the gas connection yearly.

TIPS FOR OVEN COOKING

For baking cakes:

• Pre-heat the oven for at least 10minutes before use.
• Do not open the oven door when baking. The jet of cold air will block the raising process of some cakes, pastries and soufflés.
• To check if your cake is baked, insert a toothpick into the mixture; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has passed before doing this check.

As a general rule remember that:

• A dish which is well – cooked on the outside but not sufficiently cooked inside would have required a lower temperature and longer cooking time.
• On the contrary, a “dry” texture would have required a shorter time and higher cooking temperature.

For cooking meat:

• Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kilogram to avoid becoming too dry. If you want to roasts with a good colour, use very little oil.
• If the piece of meat is lean, use oil or butter or a little of both.
• Butter or oil on the other hand unnecessary if the piece as a strip of fat. If the piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in the oven with this side upwards: When melting the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently.
• Red meat should be removed from the fridge one hour before cooking otherwise the sudden change of temperature could cause it to become tough. A roast, especially for red meat, must not be salted at the beginning of cooking as salt causes juices and blood to seep out of the meat, thus preventing the formation of a well – browned crust. If is advisable to salt the outside of the meat after just over half the cooking time.
• Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim; a deep dish shields heat.
• Meat can be placed on an oven proof dish or directly on the grill, under which the dripping pan will be inserted to collect juice. Ingredients for gravy should only be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they should be added during the last half hour. Begin cooking raw meat at a high temperature, reducing the temperature to finish cooking the inside. The cooking temperature for white meat can be mode-rate throughout.
• The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing the meat with a fork, if it penetrates easily then it is cooked. At the end of cooking it is advisable to wait at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices are not lost. Before serving, plates can be kept warm in the oven at minimum temperature.

For cooking fish:

• Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperature. Cook medium-sized fish initially at a high temperature and then gradually lower the temperature.
• Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start to finish.
• To check that baked fish is cooked by gently lifting one side of the gut; the meat must be white and opaque throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout or similar.

For Grilling:

• The following types of meat are suitable for grilling. Mostly meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of various sizes, but not very thick, poultry cut in half and flattened, fish, some vegetables (e.g Courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes,etc.), skewers of meat or fish and seafood. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly brushed with oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be salted upon completion of cooking; whereas fish should be salted into before cooking. The grill should be positioned in the guides nearest or furthest from the grill element according to the thickness of the meat, In order to avoid burning the surface and having the inside insufficiently cooked.
• The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and fat can be avoided by pouring 1or2 glasses of water into the dripping pan.
• The grill can also be used to brown, toast bread and grill certain types of fruit, such as bananas, halved grapefruit , slices of pineapple, apple, etc. Fruit should not be placed too near the source of heat.

The “TIPS FOR OVEN COOKING” relating to cooking in the oven and by grill is provided as a guide. Experience will show possible variations to the values set out in the table.

NOTE –If in doubt, always carefully follow the indications given in the in the recipes you intend to follow.

• Do not place any utensils such as dripping pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex dishes, aluminium foil or others on the base of the oven when the oven is in use. Accumulation of heat might affect the cooking results and also damage the oven enamel.
