! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information concerning the safe installation and operation of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided.
! Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be performed after the cooker has been disconnected from the electricity supply.

Room ventilation

The appliance may only be installed in permanentlyventilated rooms, in accordance with current national legislation. The room in which the appliance is installed must be ventilated adequately so as to provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas combustion process (the flow of air must not be lower than 2m^3 /h per kW of installed power).

The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct with an inner cross section of at least 100cm^2 and should be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial obstruction (see figure A).

These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a minimum of 200~cm^2 - whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety device. When the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided that these are not communal parts of a building, areas with increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

! After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open a window or increase the speed of any fans used.

Disposing of combustion fumes

The disposal of combustion fumes should be guaranteed using a hood connected to a safe and efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric fan that begins to operate automatically every time the appliance is switched on (see figure).

Fumes channelled straight outside

Fumes channelled through a chimney or a branched flue system (reserved for cooking appliances)

! The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing LPG cylinders must have openings leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape easily. LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should be stored in the room; this should also be kept well away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) that may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50^ .

Positioning and levelling

! It is possible to install the appliance alongside cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the hob surface.
! Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-resistant material (T 90^ ).

To install the appliance correctly:

• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bed-sit (not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the appliance must be installed at least 600 ~mm away from them.

are flammable (see figure).

• If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet, there must be a minimum distance of 420~mm between this cabinet and the top of the hob. This distance should be increased to 700 mm if the wall cabinets

• Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200mm away from its sides.

• Any hoods must be installed according to the instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.

Levelling

If it is necessary to level the appliance, screw the adjustable feet into the places provided on each corner of the base of the cooker (see figure).

The legs* fit into the slots on the underside of the base of the cooker.

Electrical connection

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the appliance data plate (see Technical data table).

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must be positioned so that it does not come into contact with temperatures higher than 50^ at any point.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated by the data plate.

• The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection

Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder may be carried out using a flexible rubber or steel hose, in accordance with current national legislation and after making sure that the appliance is suited to the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case see below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current national regulations. To make connection easier, the gas supply may be turned sideways*: reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket that is supplied with the appliance.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in the Table of burner and nozzle specifications (see below). This will ensure the safe operation and durability of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose

Make sure that the hose complies with current national legislation. The internal diameter of the hose must measure: 8mm for liquid gas supply; 13mm for methane gas supply.

Once the connection has been performed, make sure that the hose:

• Does not come into contact with any parts that reach temperatures of over 50^ C .

• Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and that it is not kinked or bent.

• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp corners or moving parts and that it is not compressed.

• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that its condition may be checked.
• Is shorter than 1500 mm .
• Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be fixed using clamps that comply with current regulations.

If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or if the cooker must be installed according to the conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances (installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel hose must be used instead (see below).

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with current national legislation.

To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

! Perform the connection in such a way that the hose length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres, making sure that the hose is not compressed and does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the tightness of the connection

When the installation process is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label on the cover).

Adapting the hob

Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.

1. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner (see figure), and replace them with nozzles suited to the new type of gas (see Burner and nozzle specifications table).
2. Replace all the components by following the above

instructions in reverse.

Adjusting the hob burners' minimum setting:

1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady.
   ! If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as tightly as possible:

1. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several times, checking that the flame is not extinguished.
   ! The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
   ! After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a different type of gas, replace the old rating label with a new one that corresponds to the new type of gas (these labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance Centres).
   ! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet hose in accordance with current national regulations relating to "regulators for channelled gas".

Using the hob

Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the flame for the relevant burner. To light one of the burners on the hob:

1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting .
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting ±b , the maximum setting ±b or any position in between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device* (see figure), press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the minimum flame setting, until the burner is lit. The burner may be

extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period of time.

! If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.

If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*, press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight and to activate the device.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position.

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner:

Burner	Ø Cookware Diameter (cm)
Fast (R)	24 - 26
Semi Fast (S)	16 - 20
Auxiliary (A)	10 - 14
Triple Crown (TC)	24 - 26

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the "Burner and nozzle specifications".

! For models equipped with a reducer grid, the latter must be used only for the auxiliary burner, when pans with a diameter of less than 12 cm are used.

Using the oven

The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

OPERATION indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than "0". It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.

* Only available in certain models.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60^ and Max, except for the following modes
- GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
- GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200^ ).

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.

FAST COOKING mode

The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven.

Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking prepacked food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.

MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

PIZZA mode

The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

GRILL mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.

! The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.

Timer*

To activate the Timer proceed as follows:

1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction to set the desired length of time.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

MULTILEVEL

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on the rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

GRILL

• When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). When using the GRATIN cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA MODE

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as

it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
