pressure). The presettings of this appliance

are indicated on the nameplate shown on

This appliance is not connected to a fl ue gas

extractor device. It must be installed and con-

nected in accordance with the regulations in

force. This appliance may only be installed

and may only operate in rooms permanently

ventilated in accordance with national regula-

VENTILATION The rooms in which gas appliances are in-

stalled must be well ventilated in order to al-

low correct gas combustion and ventilation.

The air fl ow necessary for combustion is at

/h for each kW of rated power.

POSITIONING Remove the packaging accessories, includ-

ing the fi lms covering the chrome-plated and

stainless steel parts, from the cooker.

Position the cooker in a dry, convenient and

draft-free place. Keep at an appropriate dis-

tance from walls which may be damaged by

heat (wood, linoleum, paper, etc.).

tween two kitchen units; in this case, the

sides of the units must withstand a tempera-

ture of 100 degrees C and they must not be

higher than the cooker hob.

FITTING THE FEET (LEVELLING)

Cookers are equipped with adjustable feet to

be screwed into their front and rear corners

respectively. The feet allow the height of the

appliance to be adjusted, in order to set it fl u-

sh with the adjoining unit, to level it with other

worktops and to ensure even distribution of

the liquids in pans. See fi g. 3.

BALANCING THE LID Models equipped with plate glass lids are

fi tted with special balanced springs. These

are fi tted into the hinge to provide smooth,

the electrical wires of the spark plugs (if

present) are not close to the injectors, so

that they cannot run across them.

HOW TO USE THE COOKER VENTILATION All gas cooking appliances produce heat

and moisture in the rooms where they are

installed. Take care to ensure that the kitchen

is well ventilated; keep the ventilation open-

ings unobstructed or install an extractor hood

with fan.In case of intensive or prolonged

use, additional ventilation may be required;

open a window, or increase the extractor

Otherwise, repeat the operation.

SAFETY DEVICE Burners equipped with this device have the

advantage that they are protected if they ac-

cidentally go out. If this occurs, the supply of

gas to the burner concerned is automatically

cut off, preventing the hazards deriving from

a leak of unburnt gas. The gas supply must

be cut off within no more than 60 seconds

for the oven and grill burners or 90 seconds

for the hob burners.

FOR COOKERS WITH ELECTRIC IGNI-

TION All the above applies, except that the match

is no longer required; a spark is obtained by

pressing the button on the control panel once

or more, or by pressing the knob of the burner

- Do not operate the ignition device for more

than 10 seconds when igniting the oven and

grill burners. If the burner has not lit after

these 10 seconds, stop using the device,

leave the door open and wait one minute

before trying again to ignite the burner. If

the ignition device malfunctions again, light

the burner with a match and call the after-

- Diffi culty in igniting burners is normal if the

cooker has been out of use for some time.

The air accumulated in the pipes will be

expelled in a few seconds;

OVENS WITH THERMOSTAT If cooking temperatures are not as set, call in

an engineer to check the thermostat.

FOR COOKERS WITH SELF-CLEANING OVEN The two side walls and the back are coated

with a catalytic self-cleaning enamel. Every

10-15 times it is used, leave the oven empty

at full heat. The time required for cleaning

depends on the condition of the oven. Some

splashes tend to set hard and may clog the

pores of the special coating, preventing

oxidation and eliminating its self-cleaning

properties. In this case, as soon as the oven

has completely cooled apply very hot water

to soften the deposits and use a soft brush,

without detergent, to remove them. Then

switch the oven back on at maximum heat

(Important: never use metal brushes or abra-

FOR COOKERS WITH MECHANICAL SPRING CLOCK ( fi g.16 )

time of one hour by turning the regulator

knob clockwise to the time required. After

the pre-set time, a buzzer sounds and will

stop automatically. When the buzzer sounds,

the spring clock does not cut out operation

- Always disconnect the power supply before

any work inside the oven or where live parts

- Never use the warming compartment for

storing infl ammable liquids or items which

do not withstand heat, such as wood, paper,

aerosol cans, matches, etc.

- Make frequent checks on the rubber connec-

tion hose, ensuring that it is well away from

hot surfaces, that there are no sharp bends

or kinks, and that it is in good condition. The

hose must be replaced at the latest at the

indicated date and must be secured at both

ends using a standard hose clamp.

- If taps become stiff to operate over time,

contact the After-Sales service.

- Wash enamelled or chrome-plated parts

with soapy lukewarm water or non-abrasive

detergents. A metal brush may be used to

remove deposits from hob burners and fl ame

caps. Dry thoroughly.

- Never use abrasives to clean enamelled or

chrome-plated parts.

- Do not use too much water when washing

the hob. Take care that no water or other

substances enter the burner housing holes,

as this may be dangerous.

- The spark plugs for electric ignition must be

kept clean and dry; always check after use,

particularly if there have been drips or over-

- Any overheating of the outside walls of the

oven will trip the safety device, which will cut

off the power supply. The power supply will

be restored automatically once the outside

temperature of the oven has dropped back

within acceptable limits. However, remember

that if this device is tripped repeatedly, there

is a malfunction (e.g. breakage of the thermo-

stat which regulates the temperature inside

the oven). Call in your service engineer.

- When the oven and grill are switched on for

the fi rst time there may be a typical smell

and smoke may come out of the oven. This

is because of the treatment applied to the

surfaces. Operate the oven empty before

placing foods inside.

No liability is accepted for injury or damage

caused by poor installation or improper use
