Frequently Asked Questions - VE29650FEMBUR Fratelli

How do I ignite the hob burners?

Press the knob for the desired burner and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum position. Keep it pressed to activate the automatic electric ignition. If no electricity, use a match. For burners with a safety device, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds after ignition.

What should I do if the oven does not light?

Ensure the oven door is fully open. Press the oven knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum position. Keep it pressed to ignite. If the burner fails to ignite after 15 seconds, leave the door open for at least 1 minute before trying again. Check gas supply and power.

Can I convert the cooker from natural gas to LPG?

Yes, conversion to U-LPG must be performed by an authorized technician. The conversion kit (injectors and regulator adjustment) should be obtained from the place of purchase. Follow the instructions in the manual for replacing injectors and adjusting minimum flow.

How do I clean the hob burners?

Remove the burner heads and caps, soak them in hot soapy water for about 10 minutes, then wash and dry thoroughly. Ensure burner holes are not clogged. Pan supports can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher (remove rubber feet first). Do not use abrasive cleaners.

How do I remove the oven door for cleaning?

Open the door fully. Flip the hinge hooks outward. Slowly close the door until the hooks lock into the slots. Using both hands, push the door inward to release the hinges from their slots, then pull the door toward you. Reassemble in reverse order.

What does the red and yellow warning lights indicate?

The red light indicates that the grill is on. The yellow light stays on until the set temperature is reached, then it will flash intermittently to indicate the temperature is maintained.

How do I set the timer?

For the analog timer, turn the knob clockwise to set the desired time (1-60 minutes). An alarm sounds when time is up. For the electronic timer (if fitted), press the left button to set time, use +/- buttons to adjust, and set the countdown with +/- (max 99 minutes). The alarm sounds for 7 minutes unless reset.

Why is there smoke coming from the oven when I use it for the first time?

This is normal. The protective oils and glue from manufacturing burn off during first use. Heat the oven at maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed. After that, the smoke should stop. If it persists, it may be due to food residue.

How do I check and adjust the oven burner flame?

The oven burner has an air adjuster (metal ring at the burner end). Loosen screw (A) and rotate the ring to increase or decrease air intake. The correct flame should be blue, not lifting, lighting back, or yellow. For Natural Gas (Australia) set to 8 mm fully open; for New Zealand and U-LPG, set fully open.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Open windows immediately. Do not operate any electrical switches. Extinguish naked flames. Close the gas isolation valve. Contact your local gas authority or emergency services. Do not use the appliance until it has been checked by a qualified technician.

INSTALLATION

PROVISION FOR VENTILATION

The room where the Cooker is installed should have permanent ventilation as follows:

"Ventilation must be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 - Gas Installations. In general, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits."

Do not install in a bed-sitting room, a bathroom or shower room. If there is another fuel burning appliance in the same room, a higher level of ventilation will be required, you should consults "the safety requirements".

In addition to the above, during prolonged use, opening a window in the same room is recommended. This will avoid the build up of excessive moisture and condensation.

POSITIONING

Important: Fix the chain located next to the gas connection on both sides of the cooker to the wall to prevent the cooker from tilting. Both chains must be securely fixed.

Make sure that the wall surface behind the Cooker is non-combustable (will not catch fire).

Where a painted surface is adjacent, a fire retardant paint surface is recommended. Wallpaper, wood, or fabric should not be used behind or next to the cooker.

Clearances to combustible materials

"Any adjoining wall surface (side or rear) situated within 200mm of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible material from the edge for a height of 150mm for the entire length of the cooker.

Any combustible construction above the cooker must be at least 650mm above the maintop." Ensure that a power and gas supply are nearby. The Cooker should be located carefully so that the heat produced by it has plenty of space to escape. The diagram below shows an ideal configuration.

No part of any adjoining wall surface can be made of combustible materials. The protection of combustible materials

required by Clause 5.12.1.1 of AS/NZS 5601 is the fixing of 5 mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface or attaching fire resistant material to the surface and covering with sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm.

Clearances to non- combustible materials

"If the cooker is being fitted next to cupboards or adjoining wall surfaces, which are within 200mm from the edge of the hob burner and of a suitable non-combustible material as specified in AS/NZS 5601, then ensure that a distance of at least 6cm is left between the edge of the cooker and the non-combustible material. This gap is to allow plenty of space for the heat produced by the cooker to escape on each side of the cooker.

Note:

The cooker is fitted with 4 legs for an eventual alignment in height with the furniture (fig. 1 A).

Gas and Electricity on

Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the appliance is plugged in and switched on. The ignitor needs electricity. In case there is no electric current, the burner can also be lighted using a match.

It is recommended that pans suitable to the size of the burner should be used as follows:

BURNERS PANS
	fl min. fl max
AUXILIARY 80 mm 160 mmSEMI-RAPID 120 mm 200 mmRAPIDE 200 mm 230 mmTRIPLE CROWN 230 mm 260 mm

Always use pans with a flat base diameter, which are well balanced and stable in use, a pan which overhangs the hotplate should not be used. Avoid using old, misshapen pans, or pans which are unstable when placed on a flat surface. Do not use "split pans" as they are inherently unstable.

To save gas, always position pans centrally over the burners and adjust the flames so that they do not lick up the sides of the pan and only the base is heated. Always put lids on saucepans and boil only the amount of liquid you use. When the liquid has boiled adjust the setting to maintain a simmer. Do not light the burner until the pan is in position and turn off the burner before removing the pan. In hard water areas, descale kettles regularly. For safety, keep saucepan handles turned to a safe position so they are out of reach of small children and cannot be accidentally knocked.

To tunr the burner OFF, turn the control knob clockwise to the OFF setting (marked with a dot ●)

CLEANING

Before cleaning the appliance, close the gas stopcock and unplug appliance or disconnect power at the main circuit breaker of the electrical system.

Do not clean the appliance surfaces when still hot.

Always clean off spillage as quickly as possible to prevent burning on which will make removal more difficult. Wash with a clean cloth soaked in hot soapy water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVES. CAUSTIC PASTES OR SPRAYS. COARSE CLEANING PADS OR POWDERS. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE WATER WHEN CLEANING YOUR OVEN IN ORDER TO AVOID WATER PRESSING THROUGH CLEFTS INTO THE BACK OF CONTROLS PANEL OR OF THE UNIT.

NOTE: A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning this appliance.

Pan supports and burners

The burner heads can be removed for cleaning.

NB Do not drop hot burner caps in cold water.

Because of the rapid cooling they might get damaged.

Lift off and soak for about 10 minutes in hot water with a little detergent. After having cleaned and washed them, dry them carefully.

Make sure that no burner holes are clogged.

Clean the burners once a week or more frequently if necessary.

Make sure you have reassembled the burners correctly.

Pan supports can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.

Remember to remove rubber feet (if fitted) prior to washing.

Refit them afterwards.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

For a triple crown burner, make sure head "C" and covers "A" and "B" are properly placed on their seats as figure N and not off-centered as in figure P.

Daily

Regular wiping down directly after use prevents dirt from burning on. Clean the appliance with water and a detergent or all purpose cleaner.

Avoid using too much water to prevent it entering the burner or ventilation openings.

Interior: the oven shelf carriers can be removed for easier cleaning. To do this, remove all the shelves and spring off the side carriers (Fig. Q - R). Replace in a similar manner.

Oven accessories (shelves, trays etc) should be washed in mild detergent solution and should not be treated with abrasives. The oven interior panels should be cleaned with mild detergent solution, mild cream cleaners or a moist soap pad.

Install shelves by locating them in the horizontal guide rails on the oven walls.

The raised portion of the shelf is to be facing the rear wall of the oven.

IMPORTANT

Do not use excessive water when cleaning the oven and avoid water passing through the fan grill or ducts in the oven back. Avoid letting grease deposit collect around the upper heating element: it will cause smoking and may start a fire.

Clean the cone and its slot by means of a cloth soaked with solvent. Slightly grease the cone with the relevant grease, put it in its slot, and turn it some times. Remove the cone again, remove the excess grease making sure the gas entries are not obstructed by grease residue. Assemble everything carefully in the opposite direction check the connection seal by means of soapy water.

SOME SAFETY POINT

Do not use the appliance as a space heater.

If you smell gas

Open a window. Do not use any electrical switches. Immediately extinguish naked flames. Isolate appliance from gas mains supplies via the isolation stopcock. Contact local gas authority or emergency services as appropriate. In the event of food fire. Isolate appliance from electric / gas mains supplies if safe to do so. Try to extinguish flames with the appropriate equipment (fire blanket or extinguishing foam). Do not use water on cooking fat / oil fires.

If in difficulty call emergency services.

• Do not store or use flammable products or aerosol containers near the hotplate or burners.
• Never flambe, under an extractor - even if the ventilator is switched off.

The high flames can cause fire.

For your safety and that of your children

• Do not store items that are attractive to children above or near the appliance.
• Keep children well away from the appliance: do not forget that some parts of the appliance or of the pans become very hot and dangerous during use, and will take time to cool down.
• When cooking, do not use clothes that could catch fire and cause serious injury.
• Some “Wok” cooking pots are unstable. Check with the manufacturer before purchasing.
• Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans which may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is 125mm (5"). Smaller pans will be unstable.

Very large pans may cause walls or knobs to overheat. Using pans which are too big may deform the control knobs or discolour the walls. This is not covered by the guarantee.

• Carefully place all pans centrally over the burners.
  • Always position pan handles safely away from the front of the hotplate and out of danger, particularly from small children.
• Never leave a chip pan unattended.
• Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should not be used.
• Simmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.
• Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this hotplate.

PROBLEM SOLVER

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:

Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

Sooting up of cooking utensils.

Burners not igniting properly.

Burners failing to remain alight.

Burners extinguished by oven door.

Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.

Your Installer should be contacted if you have any problems with the installation.

Before you call a service engineer please check if the problem is something you could fix yourself. The cause of the problem is often a simple one.

THINGS TO TRY BEFORE CALLING FOR AN ENGINEER

Burner does not burn well

Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner. Appliance not suitable for your gas type? Check the identification plate on the hotplate base.

Burner does not ignite

Do the burners spark when you press the ignition button? If not is the power on? See 'Checking the power supply' section further on. If the power supply is OK then there is probably something wrong with the ignition system.

Are the electrode or burner slots blocked by debris?

Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner. Is the burner trim correctly located?

Are the burner caps correctly located?

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.

Pan supports

Aluminium pans may cause a metallic marking on the pan supports which does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal cleaner such as 'Brasso'.

Checking the power supply

First check if the main house fuse or circuit breaker has activated.

If it's OK, test the power socket with another appliance. If the other appliance works, then unplug the cooker and contact the service agent

Power Failure

In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the hotplate burners may be lit using a match.

Ventilation

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. For more detail see the Installation Instructions.

OVEN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL

First, when the oven is equipped with timer, check appliance is not programmed to turn on later. If it is, turn to manual setting (i.e. hand symbol). If the button or scale on the timer remains in the automatic position after use, the power supply to the oven will be interrupted. Also, check your appliance is switched on at the mains. Next check for an unexpected power strike by switching on adjacent lights etc. Finally, check fuses and plug wiring. If all these prove satisfactory, call engineer.

LIGHT BULB DOESN'T COME ON

Check bulb for looseness or burned out bulb.

Note: bulb replacement is not covered by your guarantee.

SMOKE COMING FROM OVEN

If oven is still relatively new, this problem is invariably due to protective oil on elements. Otherwise, the answer may be oil or fat which has become deposited on the elements during cooking. In either event, continued use should burn away the residues. On future occasions, try to shield food with foil or keep it further away from element, particularly when grilling.

CLOCK/TIMER DOES NOT WORK

Check to be sure range cord is plugged into outlet completely. Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Check for power outage. Check step by step operating Instructions on previous pages.

If, after checking through this section, you cannot resolve your problem please call the number on the warranty page in this manual for service and spare parts.

When ordering please quote the appliance name, the colour variant and serial number.

This information can be found on the data plate sealed inside the front appliance drawer.

Maintenance schedule:

To ensure the appliance continues to operate at peak performance, we recommend a routine service call every 2 years for the life of the appliance.
