The manufacturer declines all liability for damage resulting from a system which has not been earthed. 8 Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that the specifications indicated on the data plate (on the appliance and/or packaging) correspond with those of the electrical and gas systems in your home. 9 Check that the electrical capacity of the system and sockets will support the maximum power of the appliance, as indicated on the data plate. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified technician. 10 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3 mm or more is required for installation. 11 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified technician, who should also check that the cross-section of the socket cable is sufficient for the power absorbed by the appliance. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extensions is not recommended. If their use cannot be avoided, remember to use only single or multiple adapters and extensions which comply with current safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the maximum current capacity indicated on the individual adaptor or extension and the maximum power indicated on the multiple adapter. 12 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use. Switch off the main switch and gas supply when you are not using the appliance. 13 The openings and slots used for ventilation and heat dispersion must never be covered. 14 The user must not replace the supply cable of this appliance. Always contact an after-sales service centre which has been authorised by the manufacturer if the cable has been damaged or needs replacement.
15 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) is considered to be improper and consequently dangerous. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage resulting from improper and irresponsible use. 16 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The following are of particular importance:
- Do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet.
- Do not use the appliance barefooted.
- Do not use extensions, but if they are necessary, caution must be exercised.
- Never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to unplug the appliance plug from the mains.
- Never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun etc.)
- Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with the appliance to use it, without supervision.
17 Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the main switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance. 18 In the case of problems and/or faulty operation, switch off the appliance, close the gas cock and do not tamper with the appliance. For repairs, contact only authorised after-sales service centres and request the use of original spare parts only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety of the appliance. 19 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, remember to make it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from the mains and cutting the supply cable. Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who could play with the appliance. 20 To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with uneven or deformed bottoms on the burners or on the electric plates. Turn the handles of pots and pans inwards to avoid knocking them over accidentally. 21 Some parts of the appliance, in particular the hot plates, remain heated for a long time after use. Make sure not to touch them. 22 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline, etc. near the appliance when it is in use. 23 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep the supply cord away from the hot parts. 24 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”i” position when the appliance is not in use. 25 When the appliance is in use, the heating elements and some parts of the oven door become extremely hot. Make sure you don't touch them and keep children well away. 26 Gas appliances require regular air exchange to ensure trouble-free performance. When installing the cooker, follow the instructions provided in the paragraph on "Positioning" the appliance. 27 The glass top (only on certain models) can shatter if it is overheated. Therefore, all of the burners or hot plates must be turned off before the top is closed. 28 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the pedestal itself.
The following instructions should be read by a qualified technician to ensure that the appliance is installed, regulated and technically serviced correctly in compliance with current regulations.
Important: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before performing any maintenance or regulating the appliance.
Positioning
Important: This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with current National Regulations. The following requirements must be observed:
a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system that vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time the appliance is turned on.
A flue or branched flue system directly to the outside (only for cooking appliances)
b) The room must also have a system to permit proper air circulation, needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air needed for combustion must not be less than 2 m³/h per kW of installed power. The air circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm²; the opening must not be able to be accidentally blocked. For those appliances not equipped with a safety device for accidental flame loss, the ventilation apertures must be increased by 100%, with the minimum being 200 cm² (Fig. A). The system can also provide the air needed for combustion by indirect means, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be common rooms or bedrooms. (Fig. B).
Detail A: Adjacent room to be ventilated
Examples of ventilation: increased opening between openings, combustion air, door and floor
Fig. A Fig. B
c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may result in the need for supplemental air circulation, e.g. opening windows or increasing mechanical venting (if present).
d) Liquified petroleum gas is heavier than air and, therefore, settles downwards. Thus, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with apertures to the outside for ventilation of gas in the case of leaks. LPG cylinders must not, therefore, be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.) whether they are partially or completely full. It is a good idea to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.) which are able to increase the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
Levelling Your Appliance (only on certain models)
4 support feet which are adjusted using screws are located in the lower part of the cooker. These level off the oven when necessary. It is essential that the cooker be standing level.
Mounting the legs (only on certain models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your cooker.
Installation of the cooker
The appliance can be installed next to cabinets, provided they are not taller than the hob. If the cooker is placed in contact with walls or the sides of adjacent cabinets, they must be capable of withstanding a rise in temperature of 50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are higher than the top of the hob, must be at least 600 mm from the edge of the hob itself. b) Hoods must be installed according to the requirements in the installation manual for the hood and, in any case, at a minimum height of 650 mm. c) If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface of the hob. Cabinets installed adjacent to the hood must be at least 420 mm above the hob, as shown in Figures C and D.
Fig. C Fig. D
Connecting the Gas
The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current National Regulations. Before making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph "Adapting to different types of gas." On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with the current National Regulations.
Important: Check that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in table 1 “Burner and Nozzle Characteristics” since this will ensure safe operation, correct consumption and ensure a longer life for your appliance.
Connection with a Hose
Make the connection using a gas hose that complies with requirements set forth by the current National Regulations. When installing the hose, remember to take the following precautions:
- No part of the hose should touch parts whose temperature exceeds 50°C;
- The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;
- The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling, and should not have bends or kinks.
- The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges, moving parts, and it should not be crushed;
- The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in order to check its condition.
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends and fix it with clamps complying with current National Regulations. If any of the above recommendations cannot be followed, flexible metal pipes should be used. If the cooker is installed in compliance with the requirements for class 2, subclass 1, it is highly recommended that the gas connection be made with a flexible metal pipe in compliance with current safety standards.
Connecting a Flexible, Jointless, Stainless Steel Pipe to a Threaded Attachment
The hose holder is fitted on the appliance. The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas conic male attachment. Only use pipes and gaskets complying with current National Regulations. The full length of the pipe must not exceed 2000 mm. Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.
Checking that the Connection is Tight
Important: When installation has been completed, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.
Connecting the Power Supply Cord to the Mains
Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate. When connecting the cable directly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker should be sized according to the load and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the circuit breaker). The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to the room temperature, along its length. Before making the connection, check that:
- The limiter valve and the home system can support the appliance load (see data plate);
- The mains are properly earthed in compliance with current standards and regulations;
- There is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit breaker, once the hob has been installed.
N.B.: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they can cause heating or burning.
Converting the Cooker for Use with Different Types of Gas
In order to convert the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was manufactured (indicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:
a) Replace the burner nozzles on the hob:
- Remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;
- Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 "Burner and nozzle characteristics").
- Replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.
Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner
The burners do not need a primary air regulator.
b) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:
• Turn the tap to minimum; - Remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw, which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady.
N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be screwed in all the way.
- Check that the flame does not go out when you turn the tap quickly from high to low.
c) Regulating the primary air of the burners: the primary air of the burners does not need to be regulated.
Important
On completion of this operation, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. This sticker is available from our Service Centres.
Note
Should the pressure of the gas used be different (or vary) from the recommended pressure, it is necessary to fit a suitable pressure regulator onto the inlet pipe in compliance with current standards regarding “regulators for channelled gas.”

The various features of the cooker are controlled through the knobs and buttons located on the control panel.
Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N)
The position of the gas burner controlled by each knob is shown by a solid ring. To light one of the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob counterclockwise to the maximum setting. Each burner can be operated at its maximum, minimum, or intermediate power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off (the knob is on this setting when the symbol corresponds with the reference mark on the control panel), for maximum
and minimum
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counterclockwise with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the symbol).
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob
To light a specific burner, push the corresponding knob all the way in and turn it counterclockwise to maximum, keeping it pressed down until the burner lights.
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to relight.
Models with Flame Failure Device
These models are identified by the presence of a flame detection device (see detail H).
Important: Since the top burners are equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 3 seconds to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple is heated.
The 7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of the more modern fan-assisted models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob "L" and thermostat "M" situated on the control panel.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when using the rotisserie (only available on certain models). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control panel with the ⏻ symbol on the timer knob.
The oven light
Set knob "L" to the 🔍 symbol to turn it on. It lights the oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in the oven come on.
Traditional
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max. On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in Traditional, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.
Baking
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max. The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc....
"Fast cooking" Mode
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max. The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few "home-made" dishes.
The best results when cooking using the "Fast cooking" mode are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second from the bottom), please see the table entitled "Practical Cooking Advice".
Multi-cooking Mode
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max. The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: "Cooking On More Than One Rack". This Multi-cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc... Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance.
Desserts: the Multi-cooking mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60 °C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0 °C.
Pizza Mode
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and Max. The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance, which results in the production of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one dripping pan or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway through the cooking process.
Grill |
Position of thermostat knob "M": Max.
The top central heating element comes on.
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 grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.
Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cooking Advice" paragraph.
Gratin
Position of thermostat knob "M": between 60°C and 200°C. The top central heating element and the fan come on.
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.

This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish, etc.
This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.

At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will sound and automatically turn off the oven.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control panel with the ⏻ symbol on the timer knob.
When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can be used like a normal timer.
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
In order to obtain the best performance, keep in mind the following:
- Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware;
- Only flat bottom cookware should be used;
- At the boiling point, turn the knob to minimum;
•Always use a lid with the cookware.
| Burner ø Cook | ware Diameter (cm) |
| Fast (R) 24 - 26 | |
| Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20 | |
| Auxiliary (A) 10 - 14 | |
| Triple Crown (TC) 24 - 26 |
N.B. 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.
Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods), the “Pizza Mode” can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Cooking on More Than One Rack
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either the "baking" mode or the "Multi-cooking" mode, as these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use the "baking" mode, which allows you to cook on 3 racks at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom). Some examples are included in the "Practical Cooking Advice" table.
When cooking other food on several racks, use the "Multi-cooking" mode, keeping the following suggestions in mind:
- The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.
- As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
- When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere between the two temperatures required, place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
- Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper.
Using the "Fast Cooking" Mode
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use pre-packed products (such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) along with other food items. You will find useful suggestions in the "Practical Cooking Advice" table.
Using the Grill
The "7 Cuochi" oven offers you several different grilling modes.
Use the "grill" mode, with the oven door shut, placing the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack from the bottom) because only the central part of the top heating element is turned on.
To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the rack, place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. Lower temperatures can also be set, simply by setting the thermostat knob to the temperature required.
Setting "Gratin", only with the oven door shut, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
Important: always cook in “Gratin” mode with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red light "P" will turn off). Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping. In general:
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
| Pastry is too dark on top |
| Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. |
| I used more than one level (in the function "ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same cooking point |
| Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time. |
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use setting
"Pizza Mode":
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes. Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the rack supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust. Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking. If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process. If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise you to use the Multi-cooking Mode as the Pizza Mode would heat the bottom rack more than the others.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electrical supply. To ensure that the appliance lasts a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
- Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
- The enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are washed with warm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them. The inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm, using warm water and detergent followed by careful rinsing and drying.
- The flame spreaders should be washed frequently with hot water and detergent, taking care to eliminate any scale.
- In cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes on the flame spreaders should be checked to make sure they are free of any obstructions. Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended that drops of water be dried.
- Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
- On models with glass covers, the covers should be cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or abrasives is to be avoided.
N.B.: Avoid closing the cover while the gas burners are still warm. Remove any liquid from the lid before opening it.
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose and substitute it if there are any defects; we recommended changing it every year.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance to the electrical mains; or disconnect the plug if it is accessible.
- Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.
- Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics:
- Voltage 230V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
Replace the glass cover and connect the oven to the mains.
Gas tap maintenance
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.: This operation must be performed by a technician authorised by the manufacturer.
