Frequently Asked Questions - DEGHSL90 DELONGHI

How do I light the oven on my DeLonghi DEGHSL90?

To light the oven, turn the oven knob to the maximum temperature and press the ignition button simultaneously. If it does not light, wait a few seconds and try again. Always keep the oven door open during lighting to prevent gas buildup.

Can I use the DEGHSL90 with LPG instead of natural gas?

Yes, the cooker is convertible. You must replace the burner injectors with LPG-specific ones and adjust the gas pressure regulator. This operation should be performed by a qualified technician.

What should I do if the oven is not heating up?

Check that the gas supply is turned on and that the flame safety thermocouple is clean. Ensure the oven knob is pressed fully during ignition. If the problem persists, the thermostat may need replacement.

How should I clean the hob burners?

Remove the pan supports, burner caps, and crowns. Wash them in warm soapy water, then dry completely. Clean the burner holes with a needle to remove any blocked gas ports. Never clean them in a dishwasher if the manufacturer advises against it.

Is there a safety device to prevent gas leaks?

Yes, each burner is equipped with a flame failure device (thermocouple). If the flame goes out, the device automatically cuts off the gas supply to that burner, preventing gas leakage.

Can I replace the oven door glass myself?

Yes, the inner glass panels can be replaced. Remove the oven door, lay it flat, and unscrew the retaining clips. Replace the glass with the correct part number from DeLonghi spare parts. Ensure the glass is properly sealed before reassembly.

How do I clean the oven interior?

The oven interior has an enamel coating that is easy to clean. Wipe spills with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. For heavy grease, use a specialized oven cleaner and avoid scraping with sharp tools. Remove the oven door for deeper cleaning.

Why does the ignition spark but the burner does not light?

This is often caused by a blocked gas jet or a misaligned electrode. Clean the burner cap and holes, and ensure the spark electrode is positioned correctly and free of debris. If necessary, check the gas supply pressure.

Where can I find spare parts for the DEGHSL90?

Genuine spare parts are available through DeLonghi authorized service centers and online parts retailers. Common parts like knobs, burner crowns, thermostats, and oven seals are widely stocked. Always quote your model number when ordering.

What is the recommended installation clearance for this cooker?

For safe installation, maintain at least 750 mm between the cooker and any range hood, and 400 mm from side walls unless they are heat-resistant. The cooker should be placed on a level, stable floor and connected to gas and electricity by a certified installer.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

THIS APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SPACE HEATER, ESPECIALLY IF INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR CARAVANS.

The installation shall comply with the dimensions in figs. 2a, 2b bearing in mind that:

■ A 40mm ventilation gap must be provided between the bottom of the appliance and any cabinetry, draw unit, thermal protection barrier or appliance.
If the cooktop is installed directly above an oven (which does not have a cooling fan motor) or if its base is accessible through a cupboard or drawer space after installation, a thermal protection barrier must be installed below the base of the cooktop as indicated in fig. 2c.
■ If the oven installed below the cooktop has a cooling fan motor, the thermal protection barrier is not required.
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the two appliances shall be connected to the gas and/or electrical supply with independent connections.
■ Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob and a range hood be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan 750 mm. Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking surface area in accordance with local regulations in force. However, in no case shall this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.

Standards requirement

Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards (AS/NZS5601) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65° C above ambient.

This is typically achieved by:

■ having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see figures 2a, 2b);

AND

■ protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (minimum height of non-combustible material when used on adjacent walls) with non-combustible surface materials such as:

• 5 mm-thick ceramic tiles (these alone are adequate);
• tempered glass or sheetmetal, minimum thickness 0.4 mm (acceptable when used in front of a fire resistant material).

FASTENING THE COOKTOP

Each cooktop is provided with an installation kit including brackets and screws for fastening the cooktop to benches from 30 to 40mm thick.

Models DEGHSL60, DEGHSL75 (fig. 3a): The kit includes two "F" type brackets (for the front of the cooktop), two "R" type brackets (for the rear of the cooktop) and four self-threading screws "S".

Model DEGHSL90 (fig. 3b): The kit includes four "F" type brackets (for the front of the cooktop), three "R" type brackets (for the rear of the cooktop) and seven self-threading screws "S".

• Cut the unit according to the dimensions in fig. 2a.
• Stretch gasket "G" over the edge of the hole made, being careful to overlay the junction edges.
• Fasten the brackets "F" and "R" to the appropriate socket holes, without tightening the screws "S" for the moment. Make sure that the tabs are mounted correctly, as shown (figs. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d). Rotate the tabs so that the cooktop can be put into the cutout.

- Put the cooktop into the cutout and position it correctly.

• Put the brackets "F" and "R" into place; tooth "A" of the brackets should go into the hole (figs. 3c, 3d).
• Tighten screws "S" until the cooktop is completely secured to the bench.

- Using a sharp cutter or trimmer knife, trim the excess sealing material around the edge of the cooktop.

Take care not to damage the workbench.

GAS SUPPLY

■ This appliance is suitable for use with Natural Gas or ULPG (Check the "gas type" sticker attached to the appliance).

■ Affix to the appliance the warning label stating that the cooktop has been converted for use with Natural gas/ULPG (supplied with the Natural gas/ULPG conversion kit). A second Natural gas/ULPG conversion label should also be affixed to an adjacent surface along with the duplicate data plate.

IMPORTANT

If the cooktop is suitable for use with Natural gas and must be converted for use with Universal LPG, before connecting to gas main remove the appliance gas regulator

and replace with test point adaptor (see figs. 4a, 4b).

■ If the cooktop is suitable for use with Universal LPG and must be converted for use with Natural gas, before connecting to the gas main remove the appliance test point adaptor and replace with gas regulator (see figs. 4a, 4b).

NOTE:

Gas regulator and test point adaptor are supplied with the appliance (packed with conversion kit).

The burners are designed so that regulation of primary air is not required.

MINIMUM BURNER SETTING ADJUSTMENT

Check whether the flame spreads to all burner ports when the burner is lit with the gas tap set to the minimum position. If some ports do not light, increase the minimum gas rate setting.

Check whether the burner remains lit even when the gas tap is turned quickly from the maximum to the minimum position. If the burner does not remain lit, increase the minimum gas rate setting.

The procedure for adjusting the minimum gas rate setting is described below.

■ Using a screwdriver turn screw "A" until the flame setting is correct (fig. 6).
■ Dual burner, model DEGHSL90 only: For the dual burner set the minimum (as indicated above) for both the gas valves (one for the inner and one for the outer crown). The operations must be carried out one gas valve at a time.

Normally for ULPG fully tighten the adjustment screw.

■ To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.
■ Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob clockwise past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.

■ Whenever lighting any of the burners produces an abnormal flame, switch that burner off and relight using the minimum setting.

■ If after relighting the burner, the flame is still abnormal, turn the burner off and contact our Customer Service Centre to obtain the nearest authorized Delonghi Service Agent.

In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
■ Note: When the cooker top is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH FLAME FAILURE SAFETY DEVICE

In order to light the burner, you must:

1. Turn the knob (figs. 8a - 8b) in anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture (symbol “▲”), push in and hold the knob; this will light the gas.

If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.

1. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).
2. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

Important

■ If the burner flame should go out, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow
■ To re-light the burner, return the knob to closed “●” position (burner off), wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

■ N.B. If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

DUAL BURNER - MODELS DEGHSL90 ONLY

The Dual Burner is a very flexible burner which allows different regulations and optimal cooking.

It is composed by one inner and one outer crown: the inner and outer crown can be used together or separately.

The Dual burner is controlled by two separate knobs (fig. 9):

■ one knob for the inner crown only (“●” symbol identifying the control knob);

■ one knob for the outer crown only ("○" symbol identifying the control knob).

The Dual burner can be used:

■ as a small burner (flame produced only by the inner crown);
■ as a Ultra-rapid burner (flame produced only by the outer crown);
■ as a high-power burner (all flames produced simultaneously by inner and outer crown).

IMPORTANT: After using the dual burner check both the control knobs are in the closed “●” position.

IMPORTANT: After using the dual burner check both the control knobs are in the closed “●” position.

Figure 9

COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS

■ The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.
■ The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest for stews and sauces.
■ Always ensure that you use the correct size of saucepan.

■ For fast boiling, make sure the flame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer to boil.
■ For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.

■ Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
■ Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally knocked.

■ When deep fat frying:

– Fill the pan only one third full of oil.

- DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

– In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.

- Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.

- DO NOT use water on the fire.

- Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE

During use cooking vessels become hot. Pay special attention not to touch the hot vessels positioned on the cooking hob especially when operating the control knobs.

GENERAL ADVICE

■ Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the electrical power supply.
■ Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when handling or cleaning of this appliance.
■ Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or maintenance except by suitable qualified personnel.
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
■ Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance.
■ Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
■ Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
■ Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make it unsafe.

WARNING: When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

ENAMELLED PARTS

■ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.
■ Dry preferably with a soft cloth.
If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

■ Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.
■ For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

PAINTED PARTS AND SILKSCREEN PRINTED SURFACES

■ Clean using an appropriate product. Always dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: these parts must be cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching and abrasion. You are advised to use a soft cloth and neutral soap.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive substances or non-neutral detergents as these will irreparably damage the surface.

GAS TAPS

■ Periodic lubrication of the gas taps must be carried out by specialist personnel only.
In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department.

BURNERS

■ These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.
■ After cleaning, the burners and their flame spreaders must be well dried and correctly replaced.
- Check that the electrode/s "S" (figs. 15a, 15c, 15d, 15e) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.
- Check that the probe/s "T" (figs. 15a, 15c, 15d, 15e) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves.
■ Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
■ Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are not in place.

CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE AUXILIARY, SEMI-RAPID AND RAPID BURNER (the rapid burner is available for the models DEGHSL75, DEGHSL90 only)

It is very important to check that the burner flame spreader "F" and the cap "C" have been correctly positioned (see figs. 15a and 15b). Failure to do so can cause serious problems.
