INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

HOB OPERATION

The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and a thermocouple safety device, which automatically cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally goes out during operation.

The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.

Each burner can be regulated with the corresponding control knob "M" by using one of the following settings:

Off
High flame
Low flame

The symbols near the knobs show the position of the relative burner on the hob.

Toignite a burner, proceed as follows:

• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is on the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully and activate the automatic gas ignition marked with the symbol ☆
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is not, repeat the operation.

For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply putting the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.

To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off position "●".

Important:

• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues to exit for a few moments before the safety device activates. Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that the knobs are in the off position "●". The main gas supply cut-off cock should also be closed.

Using the burners

To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable to only use pans with a diameter suitable for the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the pan base (see following table). When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

The hob is fitted with two pan reducing supports, which should only be used on the auxiliary burner "A"(fig.1a) and on the Double Flame "D" (DC-DR internal)(fig.1b).

Burner ø Pan Diameter (cm)
A.Auxillary	6 – 14
B.Semi-rapid	15 – 20
C.Rapid	21 – 26
I.Double ring DC-DR (inner)	10 - 14
I.Double ring DC-DR (outer)	24 - 26

fig.1b

The "separate double flame" burner

This burner consists of two concentric burners which can operate either together or separately.

Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a very high power which reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners.

Moreover the double flame crown provides a more uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners on minimum.

Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of only the internal burner.

There is a separate control knob for each of the "separate double flame" burners.

The knob marked by the symbol □ operates the external burner;

The knob marked by the symbol □ operates the internal burner.

To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to its full potential, never set the inside ring to minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the same time.

To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting △. The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the knob is pressed in.

Since the burner is equipped with a safety device "F", after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 6 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up.

To obtain the best results with the cooktop, several fundamental rules should be followed while cooking or preparing food. Use cookware with a flat bottom to make certain that the pot sets properly on the cooking area.

THE "MAXIOVEN"

MULTI-FUNCTION OVEN

The oven offers nine combinations of heating elements; so the most suitable combination may therefore be chosen for each dish, with convincing results.

By turning the selector knob "G" marked with the symbol different cooking modes are obtained, as shown in the following table:

Symbol	Function Power
0	0) Off	-
	1) Top + Bottom heating elements	2350 W
[OASD]	2) Bottom heating element	1300 W
[BACS]	3) Top heating element	1050 W
	4) Grill heating element	2000 W
[W6AS]	5) Maxigrill (Top + Grill heating elements)	3050 W
	6) Maxigrill (Top + Grill heating elements) + fan	3100 W
	7) Bottom heating element + Fan	1350W
[ZY28]	8) Rear round heating element + Fan	2850 W
[DDHS]	9) Fast defrosting	50 W

After having selected the heat source, put the thermostat knob "H" (marked with the symbol 4) onto the temperature required.

- For traditional cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in conventional mode use the mode (hot above + below).

Only put the food to be cooked into the oven when it has reached the selected temperature and preferably use just one shelf for cooking.

To provide heat only to the bottom or the top part of the dishes, turn the selector to the position (hot below) or

hot below + fan) or (hot above);

- With this (fan assisted) mode heat is transmitted to the food through pre-heated air made to circulate inside the oven by a fan. The oven heats up very quickly so the food to be cooked may be put into the oven as soon as it is switched on. Cooking is also possible simultaneously on two shelves.

- The "fast defrosting" function ✿ uses no heating elements, just the oven light and the fan.

- Grill operation: a high heat output is used for grilling, so that the surface of the food is immediately browned; this is particularly indicated for meats which should remain tender on the inside.

To grill, turn the selector knob "H" to one of these positions:

(grill),

axigrill),

axigrill + fan)

During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to above 200°C and keep the oven door closed.

Oven light

The oven light comes on automatically when the selector knob is turned to any of its positions.

Indicator light "S"

It indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light goes out, the required temperature has been reached inside the oven.

When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven temperature.

Spit - Rotisserie

Insert the meat to be cooked along the length of the spit rod, securing it with the special adjustable forks (fig. 2a). Introduce the supports "A" and "B" (fig. 2b) into the holes in the drip tray "E", rest the rod groove on the seat "C" and insert the oven rack into the lowest guide of the oven; now insert the spit rod into the relative hole, moving the groove forward into seat "D". Start the rotisserie by turning the selector knob to one of the following positions: (grill),

(maxigrill) o

axigrill with fan).

HOW TO KEEP YOUR OVEN IN SHAPE

Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply.

To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

- The self-cleaning panels (if present) and the enameled parts should be washed with warm water - abrasive powders and corrosive substances should be avoided;

- The inside of the oven should be cleaned immediately after use with warm water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly;

- Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or water with a high lime content. We recommend that you rinse these parts thoroughly and dry them well after cleaning. It is also a good idea to dry any water spills;

- Never line the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil because the buildup of heat will not only impede the cooking process, but could also damage the enamel.

Replacing the Lamp in the Oven

- Cutoff the supply of power to the oven by turning off the omni-polar switch connecting it to the mains, or by removing the plug if it is accessible;

- Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder;

- Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high-temperature lamp (300°C) with the following characteristics:

- Voltage: 230/240 V

- Wattage: 15W

- Socket: E14

- Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance to the power supply.

Disassembling/assembling the oven door

To make it easier to clean the inside of your oven, the oven door can be removed, by proceeding as follows (fig. 3-4):

- Open the door completely and lift the 2 levers "B" (fig. 3);

- Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling out the hooks "A" as shown in figure 4.

To reassemble the door:

- With the door in a vertical position, insert the two hooks "A" into the slots;

- Ensure that seat "D" is hooked perfectly onto the edge of the slot (move the oven door backwards and forward slightly);

- Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers "B" downwards and then shut the door again.

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (generally this is the case when cooking leavened foods) the ☒ “ventilation” mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.

Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.

Using the Grill

Use the “grill” it allows you to grill small portions like toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc., to perfection.

Position the food under the center of the grill because only the central part of the top heating element is turned on. Food placed in the corners will not cook properly.

The “Ventilated Grill” is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.

This mode can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process.

Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you both to attain excellent results and to save energy (10% circa).

For the best results when cooking on the grill, it is recommended to use the highest setting of the thermostat (200°C), which utilizes infrared rays. The grill should be placed on the higher racks (see the cooking chart). To catch fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping pan beneath the rack used for grilling.

When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.

Baking Pastries

When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has been preheated. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red "S" light will turn off). Do not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from dropping.

Batters must not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged 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.

I used more than one level and they are not all at the same cooking point

Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking Pizza

For best results when cooking pizza use the "ventilation

mode"

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the broiler supplied with the oven. If the dripping-pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be placed on top halfway through the cooking process;

Cooking Fish and Meat

Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low temperature settings ( 150° C- 200° C). For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting ( 200° C- 220° C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the rack and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

COOKING TIPS

Cooking times may change according to the nature of the foods, their homogeneity and their volume. When cooking a certain food for the first time, it is advisable to choose the lowest values in the cooking time range given in the table and then increase them if necessary.

INSTALLATION

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and technical maintenance operations correctly and in compliance with current regulations and standards.

Important: the appliance should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any adjustment, maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should be used should it be necessary to keep the appliance connected to the electricity supply.

The cookers have the following technical specifications:

Category: II 2H3+ Class: 1

The dimensions of the appliance are given in the figure on page 2. For trouble-free operation of appliances installed in housing units, the minimum distances shown in fig.5 should be observed. Adjacent surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able to withstand an overheating temperature of 65 °C.

Prior to installing the cooker, 95 ÷ 155 mm high supporting feet (provided) should be fitted into the holes to be found in the bottom of the cooker (fig.6). These feet are screw-adjustable and whenever necessary should be used to make sure the cooker stands level.

Positioning

This appliance may only be installed and operated in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current standards. The following requirements must be observed:

• The appliance must discharge combustion products into a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or directly to the outside (fig.7).
• If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the appliance.

fig.7

In a chimney stack or branched flue Directly to the outside (exclusively for cooking appliances)

Kitchen ventilation

The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room. Air must be taken in naturally through permanent apertures made in the outside walls of the room or through single or branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with current standards and regulations. The air must be taken directly from the outside, from an area far from sources of pollution. The ventilation aperture must have the following characteristics (fig.8A):

• total free cross section of passage of at least 6cm² for every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with a minimum of 100cm² (the heating capacity is indicated on the rating plate);
• it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;
• it must be protected, e.g. with grates, wire mesh, etc. in such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not reduced;
• it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

Detail A Adjacent Room to be

room ventilated

Examples of ventilation holes Enlarging the ventilation slot for comburant air between window and floor

fig. 8A fig. 8B

The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room, provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there is a risk of fire, such as warehouses, garages, fuel stores, etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the current standards and regulations. Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may be made to pass freely through permanent apertures with a cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap between the door and the floor (fig.8B). If an electric fan is used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3 ÷ 5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, e.g. an open window or a more efficient ventilation system by increasing the extraction power of the electric fan if installed. Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is heavier than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms containing LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level, in order to allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not store LPG cylinders (even when empty) in basements or rooms below ground level; it is advisable to keep only the cylinder in use in the room at any one time and connected far from heat sources which could raise its temperature to above 50° C.

Gas supply connection

• Check that the appliance is set for the type of gas available and then connect it to the mains gas piping or the gas cylinder in compliance with current regulations and standards.
• This appliance is designed and set to work with the gas indicated on the label situated on the actual hob. If the gas supply is other than the type for which the appliance has been set, proceed with replacing the corresponding nozzles (provided), following instructions given in the paragraph “Adaptation to different types of gas”.
• For trouble-free operation, suitable use of energy and longer life of the appliance, make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications, otherwise install a special pressure regulator on the supply pipe in compliance with current standards and regulations.
• Connect in such a way that the appliance is subjected to no strain whatsoever.

Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple union (threaded 1/2 "G male fitting) situated at the rear of the appliance to the right (fig.9), or flexible steel pipe in compliance with the standards in force, which must not exceed 2000 mm in length.

Should it be necessary to turn the fitting, the gasket (supplied with the appliance) must be replaced.

fig.9

Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame).

Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit.

Important: A pressure regulator, in compliance with the standards in force, must be inserted when connecting to a liquid gas supply (in a cylinder).

Adaptation to a different type of gas

If the hob is to be converted for use with a type of gas other than that for which it was set in the factory (indicated on the label to be found on the hob), the burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:

• Remove the pan supports and the burners.
• Unscrew the nozzles "A" (fig.10) using a 7 mm socket wrench and replace them with the ones which have a diameter suitable for the type of gas to be used, according to the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications).
• Reassemble the parts following the instructions in reverse order.
• On completing the operation, replace the old rating label with the one showing the new type of gas; the sticker is available from our Service Centres.

fig.10 fig.11

Replacing the nozzles on separate "double flame" burners:

• remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings. The burner consists of 2 separate parts (Fig. C and fig. D);
• unscrew the burers with a 7 mm wrench spanner. The internal burner has a nozzle, the external burner has two (of the same size). Replace the nozzle with models suited to the new type of gas (see table 1).
• replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.

Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner

The burners do not need a primary air regulator.

Minimum Regulation

- Turn the gas valve to minimum. - Remove the tap knob and turn the adjusting screw, situated inside of the tap stem (fig.11), using a screwdriver (loosening the screw increases the height of the flame, tightening decreases it).

N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be fully screwed in (clockwise).

• Make sure that, when the knob is turned rapidly high to low, the flame does not go out.
• In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the security device (thermocouple) when the gas supply is set at minimum, increase the minimum supply levels using the regulator screw.

Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing wax, or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the by-pass. THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The hob is designed to work with alternating current at the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

(situated under the hob or at the end of the instruction booklet). Make sure that the local supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity supply

For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug, suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto the cable and connect to a suitable socket. To connect directly to the mains supply, a double-pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm suitable for the load and complying with current standards and regulations, must be fitted between the appliance and the mains supply outlet. The yellow-green earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch. The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50 °C above room temperature. For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the oven must be connected separately to the electricity supply both for safety reasons and for easy removal of the oven if necessary. Do not use adapters or shunts as they could cause heating or burning. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• the limiter valve and the domestic system can withstand the load from the appliance (see rating plate);
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according to standards and laws in force;

- the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible when the appliance is installed.

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked "E" or

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked "L" or coloured Red. Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked "N" or coloured Black. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.

Replacing the cable

Use a rubber cable of the type H05VV-F with a suitable cross section 3 x 1.5 mm². The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer than the other wires.
