TECHNICAL DATA In order to improve the quality of the products, ROSIERES may carry out modifications linked to technical improvements. Appliance meeting with the standard 89/336/CEE, 73/23/CEE and 90/396/CEE.

USE : each burner is fitted with a thermocouple fast safety. It is a device allowing the automatic cut-out of the gas supplying on the burner, in case the flame dies out accidentally.

• Turn on the gas tap,
• A symbol next to each control knob indicates which burner is lit.
• Press and turn the knob to position keeping it pressed to produce sparks which in turn ignite he burner. Keep the pressure on the control knob a few seconds to permit the releasing of the safety device.
• Set the flame according to your cooking requirements. Intermediate positions are available between the two positions settings on the control knob.
• To turn the flame out, turn the control knob back to stop position. Please note : if there is a power cut, the burner can be ignited by pressing and turning the knob to position and holding a naked flame to the burner. SOME TIPS ....
• Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
• Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact, it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.
• To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.
• Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan. Caution : when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be turned off. The various burners : the hob has burners of different dimensions. You should be aware of the differences in power of each burner.
• use the powerful burner to bring to boil, to fry meat, and in general for any food that should be cooked quickly.
• use the semi-rapid for slow cooking or for sauces.
• use the small burner for small pans and also for slow cooking. For a proper use of the burners, choose pans which match the dimensions given below: ultra-rapid Ø22 cm, semi-rapid Ø12 cm, rapid Ø16 cm, auxiliary mijorose Ø10 cm.

A 7 positions commutator controls the standard hot plate. Each position corresponds to a permanent and progressive temperature according to the marks 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. The self-protecting hot plate, with a red dot in the centre, is also controlled by a 7 positions commutator. An internal thermostat cuts off of the power supply if there is any abnormal heating, if for example, a hot plate is working without a pan on it. Before using the electrical hot plate for the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes, without a pan, at maximum temperature to allow the protective coating to harden. HOW TO USE :

• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat "6" and then turn back to an intermediate temperature taking into account the type and volume of the food.
• An indicator light comes on to show that the hot plate is operating. Different temperature settings : below are a few examples which are given as guidelines. When you become more familiar with the appliance, you will be able to choose settings to suit your own personal tastes and requirements. Positions

Steamed apples, fresh vegetables, pasta, crepes, fi sh... More i ntense cooki ng, omelettes, steaks.... Steaks, chops, fryi ng... To obtain the best results from your appliance it is important to observe the following :

• Use thick, flat-based cooking vessel: a completely flat base prevents overheating to certain parts which causes food to stick. Thick metal allows for good heat distribution.
• Make sure that the base of the pan is dry: this will prevent sticking to the hot plate caused by moisture.
• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the hot plate, otherwise energy will be wasted and any spillages will cause the hot plate to become stained and will become difficult to maintain (rust, etc...)
• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it as it can be damaged, which would reduce its efficiency.
• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made of plastic or aluminium foil.

Caution: the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating, so make sure that small children are kept well away from the hob.

THE VITROCERAMIC ZONE

ADVICES As for the hot plate, the use of high quality utensils is important to obtain good cooking results :

• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit. CHOOSING UTENSILS The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance. On the label, check the mark that shows if the pan is compatible with the vitroceramic. Stainless Steel: highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution). Aluminium: heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used. Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob. Porcelain/enamel: Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth, flat base. THE ZONES

• hilight zone : a metallic conductor strip is spread uniformly over the whole surface unit. It is effective within 3 seconds and is suitable for steady, homogeneous and also sustained cooking. The glass-ceramic hob benefits from greater heat output which is generated by the hilight cooking zones thereby accelerating the cooking process. Modifications to the design of the hob have not affected the capacity of the glass to withstand high temperatures, but they have improved controllability. With the "Coup de feu" facility, reduced cooking times of up to 15% can be achieved, depending upon the method of cooking and the type of saucepans being used.

• Locate the sign corresponding to the cooking zone that you need.
• It is recommended that heat setting is at its highest until it has properly warmed up and then lower to the desired cooking setting.
• The power-on indicator light comes on to show that the heat zone is operating.
• Each zone is linked to a residual heat indicator located on the hob. It lights up when the heat zone temperature reaches 60°C and above. It will stay on, even if the unit is switched off, until the surface has cooled down.
• To switch off an heat zone, turn the corresponding control knob until the position "0".
• Positions : the examples below are intended as a guide. When you become familiar with using your hob you will be able to work out the settings that suit you best.

More i ntense cooki ng, omelettes, steaks.... Steaks, chops, fryi ng... Recommendations :
• Never cook food directly on the glass ceramic hob. Always use the appropriate cookware.
• Always place the pan in the centre of the unit that you are cooking on.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
• Do not slide cookware across the hob.
• Do not store heavy items above the hob. If they drop onto the hob, they may cause damage.
• Do not store heavy items above the hob. If they drop onto the hob, they may cause damage.
• Do not use the hob as a working surface.
• Aluminium foil and plastic pans must not be placed on heating zones. It is strongly recommended to keep children away from the cooking zones while they are in operation or when they are switched off, so long as the residual heat indicator is on, in order to prevent the risks of serious burns.

OVEN EQUIPMENT It is necessary to do an initial cleaning of the equipment before the first use of each of them. Wash them with a sponge. Rinse and dry off.

• THE SHELF : it is for holding dishes, plates, and meat joints when cooking with the grill. It is fitted with rails which enables the drip tray to be slid into. Thanks to its special shape, the shelf always remains horizontal, even when pulled to its fullest extent towards the front of the oven, thus avoiding the risk of dishes sliding off or tipping over.
• THE DRIP TRAY : collects meat and grilling juices during roasting or grilling. It can be put on the shelf, or slid under it. Unless used with the grill, the drip tray must not be stored in the oven while in use. Never use the drip tray as a roasting tray. This would cause smoke to be produced, fat to be splashed and the oven would become rapidly stained.
• THE ROTISSERIE is equipped with a skewer and a handle, two forks and a skewer support. When the oven is in use, any unused accessories should be removed.

• THE CIRCUIT-BREAKER TIMER It takes charge of the functioning of the oven, for between 1 and 120 minutes, with immediate start and automatic stop. When the time is up, the timer automatically cuts off the power supply to the oven. However, the oven could be used without programming. In this case, turn the control knob to the Hand position

Nota : to set a time, turn the control knob clockwise up to the 120 minutes mark and then turn it back to the required time. THE OVEN "Use" VERY IMPORTANT : the oven and the dishwaher cannot be used at the same time. To use the oven, you have to close the dishwasher. IMPORTANT : always keep small children away from the Triple while it is in use. If the Triple is fitted with a lid, lift it up before use.

• Conventional cooking : the top and bottom heating elements are used together. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking, for sealing red meats, roast beef, leg of lamb, bread, flaky pastry. Preheat the oven for about ten minutes and place the cooking meat in the mid shelf position.
• Grill : using the top-heating element. Success is guaranteed for mixed grills, kebabs and "gratin dishes". Five minutes preheating is required to get the element hot.
• Rotisserie : using the top-heating element in conjunction with the rotisserie providing the real flavour of a traditional roast. . Remove all accessories from the oven. . Place the drip tray on the oven bottom. . Skewer the food to be cooked and centre it between the two forks. . Fit the skewer into the bracket and slide the bracket and skewer on to the second level. The end of the skewer will then be facing the slot in the drive mechanism. . Fit the skewer into the drive mechanism.
• Rotisserie and conventional cooking : using in the same time the rotisserie and the conventional cooking. It allows to save time when cooking. However, you have to take care of placing the shelf with rails up side down, with rails towards the top and place the drip tray on it. USE :
• Turn the control knob on the requesting cooking method and set a temperature : Conventional cooking Temperature from 65°C to 230°C Grill Temperature 230°C Rotisserie Temperature 230°C Rotisserie + Conventional cooking Temperature 230°C

• Turn the control knob of the circuit-breaker timer to the Hand position or on a programming duration.
• The regulator indicator light indicates that the thermostat is working. It goes on and off regularly during the cooking time.

COOKING ADVICES MEAT : It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the meat to splatter fat. This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke. Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven cold. The cooking time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks through to the centre better as the heat has more time to penetrate the joint. CORRECT PRE-HEATING IS THE BASIS OF SUCCESSFUL RED MEAT COOKERY. CAKE - PASTRIES AND BISCUITS : Avoid using shiny moulds because they reflect heat and can spoil your cakes. If your cakes brown too quickly, cover them with greaseproof paper or aluminium foil. Caution : the correct way to use foil is with the shiny side in towards. If not the heat is reflected by the shiny surface and does not penetrate the cake. Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of cooking : sponge cake, soufflés, brioche, etc., will tend to fall. You can check if cakes are done, by pricking the centre with a knife blade or metal knitting needle. If the blade comes out nice and dry, your cake is ready, and you can stop the cooking. If the blade comes out moist or with bits of cake attached, continue baking but slightly lower the thermostat so that it finished off without burning. The following instructions are for guidance only. You may wish to alter them according to your own experience or your personal taste. Pre-heating times : . 20 minutes between 210 and 230°C . 15 minutes between 140 and 190°C . 10 minutes between 65 and 115°C

activated to advise that the cycle is not yet completed. End of programme The end of the programme is indicated by an audible signal. When the door is opened the programme selection indicator lights start flashing. Release the On/off button. Deactivating the audible signal The audible function can be deactivated in the following way: - press the On / Off button - wait till the programme LEDs blink - within 2 minutes, press and keep pressed for at least 30 seconds the Programme Selection button (the programme LEDs will still blink and an intermittent audible signal is heard). - Once the first two LEDs on the left are illuminated without blinking and the audible signal is off, release the button (the audible signal function is active). - Press again the Programme Selection button, the first two LEDs on the left will go off and the other two LEDs will turn on (the audible signal function is deactivated) - An audible signal will confirm that the setting is completed - To set again the audible signal function repeat the whole procedure. Attention - The dishwasher is equipped with an anti-overflow safety device which in the event of anomaly intervenes by evacuating water in excess. Fault Signals If malfunctions or faults occur when a program is running, the LED that corresponds to the selected cycle (2 LEDS for COLD RINSE programme) will blink rapidly and an audible signal will be activated. In this case, turn the dishwasher off by pressing the On / Off button. After checking to make sure the water inlet hose tap is open, that the drain hose is not bent and that the siphon or filters are not clogged, re-start the selected program. If the anomaly persists, contact Customer Service. Important ! To ensure the correct operation of the anti-overflow safety device, it is recommended not to move or to tilt the dishwasher during operation. If it is necessary to move or to tilt the dishwaher, first make sure the washing cyle is finished and that no water is left in the tank.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS AND CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT The filtering system is composed of : - a central filter cup which traps the largest food particles. - a flat filter which continuously filters the washing water. - the micro filter, situated under the flat filter, which traps the smallest food particles ensuring a perfect rinse. For best results, the filter unit should be checked and cleaned after each wash. To remove the filter unit, simply grip the handle and lift the whole unit out. The central cup is just resting on top for easy cleaning. The dishwasher is fitted with a self cleaning micro filter, which only requires checking about once every 15 days. However, it is advisable to check after every wash, that the central cup and the flat filter are not clogged. NB : After cleaning the filters, make sure that they are correctly reassembled, one inside the other, and that the flat filter is properly positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher. A poor seating of the filter unit could have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance. Important : Never use the dishwasher without filter. LOADING DISHES The basket has been carefully designed to make loading easy. For good wash performance, remove any debris from the dishes (bones, tooth picks, the remains of meat and vegetables) to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzle and, as a result, reducing washing efficiency. Warning ! to avoid any injury from cutlery with blades or sharp points, they can be placed with the handles upwards. LOADING A 6 PLACES SETTING (EN 50242) A- 6 glasses F - 6 flat plates B- 6 dessert plates G- 6 deep plates C- 6 saucers H - Medium bowl D- Small bowl I - Serving dish E- 6 tea or coffee cups L - Cutlery

LOADING 4 PLACE SETTINGS PLUS CASSEROLES

Casseroles, salad bowls, soup pans, lids etc., can be loaded on the basket. It is advisable to arrange the cutlery in the basket provided for that purpose. If there is any cutlery with narrow handles, it should be placed with handles upwards, to avoid falling through the bottom of the basket and blocking the washing arm. Do not put wooden handled lids in the basket, or any whose lids are bonded with resin.

LOADING THE DETERGENT

It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers either in powder, liquid or tablet form. Unsuitable detergents, (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients for use in a dishwasher and impede the efficient functioning. Normal wash The detergent dispenser is inside the door. The dispenser lid should be closed before every wash.To open it, simply press the catch. At the end of each wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for the next time the dishwasher is used. The amount of detergent to be used varies according to how dirty the dishes are and the type of wash. A 15g dose is normally recommended. If the water is hard or the dishes are exceptionally dirty, 25g of detergent should be loaded. After pooring the detergent into the dispenser, close the lid, since not all detergents are the same and the instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the dishes properly whilst too much detergent not only does not produce better results but is also a waste. Do not use an excessive amout of detergent and help limit damage to the environment at the same time. Intensive washing When using the intensive wash programme, add a second dose of detergent of about 15g (1 soup spoonful). This extra dose should be put in the curved part of the dispenser when it is closed (see diagram).

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser "B" is to the right of the detergent dispenser and has a capacity of about 130 ml. Open the lid and pour in enough liquid, which will last several washes. Try to avoid overloading. Close the lid. This additive, which is automatically released during the last rinse cycle, helps the dishes to dry quickly and prevents spots and stains forming. It is always advisable to use rinse aid. Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye "A" which is situated in the centre of the dispensers. FULL - Dark

EMPTY - Bright REGULATING THE RINSE AID (from 1 to 6). The regulator control "B" is below the indicator and can be turned with the finger, the recommended position is "3". The hardness of the water can be judged by incrustation or by the level of dryness. It is therefore important that the correct dosage of Rinse Aid is regulated to give the best results. After the wash, . if streaks occur on the dishes, decrease the amount by one position. . if whitish spots occur, increase the amount by one position.

The dishwasher is fitted with a softener that clears the water of lime which could cause scale and damage the dishwasher. On the bottom of the diswasher there is a salt dispenser for regenerating the softener. The filter element of the softener unit should be recharged with a salt specially produced for dishwashers. This salt can be bought either as tablets or as granules. To add salt, unscrew the cap of the salt dispenser on the bottom and refill the dispenser. During this operation a little water will overflow but keep adding salt until the dispenser is fill, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the cap. If the dishwasher is not required straightaway, set the programme Cold rinse ("Eco+Rapid, 2 Leds") so that the salt solution which has overflowed is discharged from the washing tank. The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 kg for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit. NB: it is necessary to add water until the dispenser overflows. Only install the dishwasher completely filling the salt dispenser.

HOW TO GET GOOD WASH RESULTS

1) Place the dishes face downwards.

2) Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are

loaded properly you will get better results.

3) Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher remove any remaining food (bones,

shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash etc. that could clog up the outflow and the washing arm jets.

4) After loading the dishes, check that the washing arm can rotate freely.

5) Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of

burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.

6) To wash silver properly:

a) - rinse the silver immediately after use especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc. b) - do not sprinkle detergent onto it. c) - keep it seperate from other metals. WHAT TO DO IF ... You want to stop the dishwasher to put in more dishes whilst it is in the middle of a wash. Open the door, put in the dishes, and close the door, the machine will start up again automatically. WHAT NOT TO WASH ... It should also be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise again using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded glass unless otherwise stated. Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade. It is also a good idea not to put silver cultery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them. NB : when buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. AFTER USE - After each wash, close the tap which supplies the water to the dishwasher and press the On/Off button to the Off position. If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, the following precautions are advisable:

1 - carry out a wash programme, but with no dishes, to degrease the machine,

2 - pull the plug out,

3 - turn off the water supply tap,

4 - fill the rinse aid dispenser,

5 - leave the door slightly ajar,

6 - leave the inside of the machine clean,

7 - if the machine is to be left in a place where the temperature is below 0°C, the water left

in the dispenser could freeze. Therefore, it is advisable to raise the temperature above 0°C, approximately 24 hours before using the machine again.

WATER CONNECTION : The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right. The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60°C. Water pressure mut be between 0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa. If the pressure is below the minimum consult the service department for advice. The inlet hose must be connected to a tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use (fig.1). The dishwasher inlet hose is fitted with a 3/4" threaded connector (fig.2). The inlet hose "A" should be tightly connected to a 3/4" tap "B". The water connection of the dishwasher must be done exclusively with the pipe supplied. Do not use an old pipe. If lime scale deposits or sand are present in the water, it is advisable to obtain the appropriate filter, art. 9226085, from the Service Centre (fig.3). The filter "D" must be inserted between the tap "B" and the inlet hose "A", remembering to fit the washer "C". If the machine is connected to new pipes or to pipes which have not been in use for long time, run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter. WATER DRAINAGE : Take care not to bend or kink the drain hose when connecting it to the machine so that the water can drain freely from it (fig.4y). The drain hose must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have an internal diameter af at least 4 cm. It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig.4x). If necessary, the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,6 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. For this, contact Customer Service.

The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink (it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being siphoned back to the machine when this is in operation) Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses. To extend, if necessary the intlet hose, contact the Customer Service.

REMEMBER! the oven and the dishwasher cannot be used in the same time. Should the dishwasher fail to operate, before contacting the Service Centre, make the following checks: FAULT

• Before carrying out any cleaning, you must :
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and wait for all the hot parts to cool.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, wire wool or sharp objects to clean the appliance.
• THE ENAMELLED PARTS : never use abrasives, scouring pads or sharp objects, as this will cause irreparable damage to the enamel. Once the appliance has cooled down, simply clean with soapy water and dry with a clean cloth.

• GAS BURNERS: for cleaning, it is recommended to remove all greasy or burnt deposits with ammonia based products or usual cleaning products. Do not immerse the burner caps in cold water immediately after use, to avoid cracking the enamel from the thermal shock. If the holes become clogged, brush them with soapy water and dry with a cloth When re-assembling the burners, make sure that the burner caps and the burners themselves are dry and after, seat them correctly.
• Caution : Be careful not to let any water get into the burners.
• LID : once the appliance has cooled down, simply clean with soapy water and dry with a clean cloth. Before lifting the lid, make sure that anything that might spill over has been removed.
• ELECTRIC HOT PLATE : do not use harsh abrasives. Wipe the protective coating regularly with a cloth after use. The hot plate should always be dry, or slightly greasy, if it is not to be used for some time. Remove any rust using emery paper followed by a suitable commercially available product.
• THE VITROCERAMIC HOB Do not use a sponge that is too wet. It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products. Maintenance : . place a few drops of a specialist cleaning product on the hob surface. . rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper. . wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.

Stubborn stains : . place a few drops of a specialist cleaning product 30˚ on the hob surface. Maxi. . scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30° to the hob, until the stains disappear. . wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean. . repeat the operation if necessary. A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at an angle of 30°. Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within reach of children. A few hints : Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential for preventing scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialist cleaning fluid. The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them when moving.
