USER MANUAL I6TG1G(X)GHEX INDESIT

! 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 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

per kW of installed power). The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm

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

- 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. Adjacent room Room requiring ventilation 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). Installation

A B ! After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open a window or increase the speed of any fans used. ! 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 ! 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°C). To install the appliance correctly:

• Place it in the kitchen, 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.

• 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 are flammable (see figure). Ventilation opening for comburent air Increase in the gap between the door and the flooring Fumes channelled straight outside Fumes channelled through a chimney or a branched flue system (reserved for cooking appliances)GB

• Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200 mm 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 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current national legislation (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°C 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. HOOD

IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED*

The exible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not less than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be tted with a fuse which is approved to B.S. 1362. Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live The power supply cable must be type H05VV-F Green & Yellow to Earth Brown to Live Blue to Neutral Cord Clamp 3 Amp Fuse 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 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.

ALL LIABILITY.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: 8 mm for liquid gas supply; 13 mm 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.

IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED

In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied an ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 must be tted. NOTE: The fuse cover must be retted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and tted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug. Make sure that the cable does not become trapped when pushing the cooker into position. Replacing the cable Use a rubber cable of the type H05VV-F with a cross section of 3 x 1.5 mm². The yellow-green earth wire must be 2 ÷ 3 cm longer than the other wires.

• 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.

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 , the maximum setting or any position in between the two.If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device* (D ), 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 to relight it.If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure safety device*(X), 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 burnersFor 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.To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”. Start-up and use ! On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember that this should be used only for the auxiliary burner when you use casserole dishes with a diameter under 12 cm.0 Flame adjustment according to levels the burner flame intensity can be adjusted with the knob according to 6 power levels, from maximum to minimum with 4 intermediate positions: a click will indicate the change from one level to another when turning the knob. The system guarantees a more precise adjustment, allows to replicate the flame intensity and to identify easily the preferred level for different cooking operations WARNING! The glass lid can break in if it is heated up. Turn off all the burners and the electric plates before closing the lid. Electric hotplates*The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise and set to six different positions:When the selector knob is in any position other than the off position, the ‘on’ light comes on. 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. ! We recommend cleaning the oven before using it for the first time, following the instructions provided in the „Care and maintenance” section. ! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit. Lighting the oven To light the oven burner, bring a flame or gas lighter close to opening F (see figure) and press the OVEN control knob while turning it in an anticlockwise direction until it reaches the MAX position. If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device* (see figure), press the ignition button, marked with the symbol

, then hold the OVEN control knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the MAX position, until the burner is lit. If, after 15 seconds, the burner is still not alight, release the knob, open the oven door and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light it again. If there is no electricity the burner may be lit using a flame or a lighter, as described above. ! The oven is fitted with a safety device and it is therefore necessary to hold the OVEN control knob down for approximately 6 seconds. ! If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight the oven. Adjusting the temperature To set the desired cooking temperature, turn the OVEN control knob in an anticlockwise direction. Temperatures are displayed on the control panel and may vary between MIN (150°C) and MAX (250°C). Once the set temperature has been reached, the oven will keep it constant by using its thermostat. Grill To light the grill, bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner and press the OVEN control knob while turning it in a clockwise direction until it reaches the position. The grill enables the surface of food to be browned evenly and is particularly suitable for roast dishes, schnitzel and sausages. Place the rack in position 4 or 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect fat and prevent the formation of smoke. ! The grill is fitted with a safety device and it is therefore necessary to hold the OVEN control knob down for approximately 6 seconds. ! If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight the grill. ! When using the grill, leave the oven door ajar, positioning the deflector D between the door and the control panel (see figure) in order to prevent the knobs from overheating. Turnspit* To operate the rotisserie (see diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2. Place the rotisserie support in position 4 and insert

the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Acitvate the function by pressing the TURNSPIT

button. Oven light The light may be switched on at any moment by pressing the OVEN LIGHT button. 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 advice on using the electric hotplates* To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less than that of the hotplate itself. ! Before using the hotplates for the first time, you should heat them at maximum temperature for approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans on them. During this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and reaches its maximum resistance.13
