CAUTION: the use of inappropriate hob

guards can cause accidents.

! When you place the rack inside, make

sure that the stop is directed upwards

and in the back of the cavity .

! In order to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance,

for example by a child climbing onto the oven door, the

supplied safety chain MUST be installed!

The cooker is fitted with a safety chain to be fixed by means

of a screw (not supplied with the cooker) to the wall behind

the appliance, at the same height as the chain is attached

Choose the screw and the screw anchor according to the

type of material of the wall behind the appliance. If the head

of the screw has a diameter smaller than 9mm, a washer

should be used. Concrete wall requires the screw of at least

8mm of diameter, and 60mm of length.

Ensure that the chain is fi xed to the rear wall of the

cooker and to the wall, as shown in fi gure, so that after

installation it is tensioned and parallel to the ground

! Before operating your new appliance please read

this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important

information concerning the safe installation and operation

! 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.

The appliance may only be installed in permanently-

ventilated rooms, according to 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 2 m

/h per kW of installed

The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct

with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm

be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial

obstruction (see figure A).

These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a

- 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).

! 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°C.

Positioning and levelling

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

! 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: 8 mm for liquid gas supply; 13 mm for methane

Once the connection has been performed, make sure

• 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.18

! 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 connection for leaks

When the installation process is complete, check the

hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use

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 Cookware diameter (cm)Rapid (R) 24 - 26Semi-Rapid (S) 16 - 20Auxilliary (A) 10 - 14 To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams

contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.

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

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 , the maximum setting  or

any position in between the two.

If the appliance is fitted with

an electronic lighting device*

(X), press the ignition button,

marked with the symbol

, then hold the BURNER

knob down and turn it in an

anticlockwise direction, towards

the maximum 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

If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety

device*(C), 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 •.

! 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.

! 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.

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film

from the sides of the appliance.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this

will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL

programme, for which only the MAX power level is

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.

The lower heating element is activated. This position is

recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes (in

baking trays) which are already cooked on the surface

but require further cooking in the centre, or for desserts

with a covering of fruit or jam, which only require moderate

colouring on the surface. It should be noted that this

function does not allow the maximum temperature to

be reached inside the oven (250°C) and it is therefore

not recommended that foods are cooked using only this

setting, unless you are baking cakes (which should be

baked at a temperature of 180°C or lower).

The top heating element is activated. The extremely high

and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to

brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in

the juices to keep them tender.

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit will be

activated. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes

that require a high surface temperature: beef steaks, veal,

rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...

! The GRILL and OVEN TOP cooking modes must be

performed with the oven door shut

There is a compartment underneath the oven that may

be used to store oven accessories or deep dishes

! The internal surfaces of the compartment (where

present) may become hot.

! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
