must be observed:
a) The cooker should not be installed in a bed sitting room
with a volume of less than 20m3.If it is installed in a room
of volume less than 5m3 an air vent of effective area of
110cm2 is required, if it is installed in a room of volume
between 5m3 and 10m3 a supplementary airvent area of
50cm2 is required, if the volume exceeds 11m3 no airvent
is required.However, if the room has a door or a window
which opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
even when the volume is between 5m3 and 11m3.
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may consider
it necessary to open a window to the outside to improve
ventilation.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the
requirements in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the
base units, providing that the lower edge of the wall
cabinet is a minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop.

re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please
ensure that either:
HOT PARTS
•
the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug
bearing the BSI mark of approval.
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with
the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the
burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed
between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection must
be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet
fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas inlet for the
cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.
or:
•
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet,
controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which
is accessible without moving the appliance.
Please note: for appliances with a rating greater than 13
amp (eg:electric hob, double ovens and freestanding electric
cookers etc.) the mains cable must be wired into a cooker
output point with a rating of 45 amp. In this case the cable is
not supplied.
Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used
corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:
•
the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact
with the “hot” parts of the cooker;
the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;
the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional
stress and it must not have any excessively narrow curves
or bottlenecks;
the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length
to check its condition;
the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt
to repair.
Disposing of the plug:

Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be left
partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between door
and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air.The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.

Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when
using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other
types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel.Always
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.
Important Notice: In the event the flame for the oven acciden-
tally goes out, turn the control knob for the burner to the off
position and do not relight the burner for at least one minute.

yond the bottom of the cookware.
• Only use cookware with flat bottoms.
• As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to
the lowest setting.

N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid
should only be used with the auxiliary burner when
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.
Using the grill pan kit
Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into the
small recess (fig. 1), tilt it upwards and slide it towards the
centre (fig. 2).
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best
results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the
uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan
will make the collection of grease particles more efficient
and prevent the formation of smoke.

Cooking advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
Cooking fish and meat
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-
sonal experience.
Meat must weigh at least one Kg. to stop it becoming too
dry. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low
temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the
temperature and the longer the cooking time should
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf. For tastier roasts,
wrap the meat with bacon rashers or dot the meat with
lard and place it in the upper part of the oven.When some
types of food are cooked in the ventilated oven (duck,
rabbit, large fowl) they become too dry; in these cases,
better results are obtained using the combined oven.
Baking cakes
The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes
wait till the end of preheating (about 15 min.).Cake-baking
temperatures are normally around 160°C. Do not open
the oven door during the baking process as this could
cause the cake to sink.
Beaten cake mixtures should not be too soft as this could
considerably lengthen cooking times. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from
Replacing the oven lamp
the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must
be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
·
·
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following
characteristics::
·
Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
·
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
- Type E14
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains.
· the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any
scale;
· in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the
terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes
of the flame spreaders should be checked to make
sure they are free of any obstructions;
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time.After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose
and substitute it if there are any defects;we recommended
changing it every year.
Gas tap maintenance
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.:This operation must be performed by a technician
authorised by the manufacturer.
