VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
For rooms with a volume of less than 5 m^3 -permanent ventilation of 100 cm^2 is required see figure 1 and 2 for an example.
For rooms with a volume of between 5 m^3 and 10 m^3 a permanent ventilation of 50 cm^2 will be required unless the room has a door which opens directly to the outside, in which case no permanent ventilation is required.
For rooms with a volume greater than 10 m^3 - no permanent ventilation is required.
Attention: Regardless of room size, all rooms containing the appliance must have direct access to the outside air via an openable window or equivalent. The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with BS 5440: Part 2.
Environment where your appliance will be installed
Your cooker must be set up and used in a place where it will always have ventilation
While operating, this appliance needs 2m3/h air per kw input.
There must be enough natural ventilation to provide the gas to be used in the environment. The average air flow must directly come in through ventilation from the outside.
Emptying of the Burned Gases from Environment
For cooking appliances that operate with gas, burned gas wastes are exhausted directly to the outside or through cooker hoods that are connected to a chimney that opens directly to the outside. If it is not possible to install a cooker hood, it is required to set an electric fan on the window or wall that has access to fresh air. This electric fan must have the capacity to change the volume of air in the kitchen environment 4-5 times per hour

Fixing to the wall
Before using the appliance fix it securely to the wall using the chains on the back of the cooker. This will prevent the cooker from toppling forward if excess weight is placed on the oven door. Since the chains must be attached to wall fixings suitable for your wall type, the wall fixings are not supplied with the cooker (Figure 4).
Please refer to the 'Guide to Wall Mounting and Fixings' on page 16.

Electrical connection

IMPORTANT: Electrical connections must be carried out by a suitably qualified person and in accordance with all relevant local building and installation regulations.
- See the rating label at the rear of the product for the appliance's load rating.
-
The cooker must be connected to a dedicated circuit suitably rated for the load of the appliance (see rating label at rear of appliance) as shown in the wiring diagrams below. It must be connected via a suitably rated cable to a double pole isolator cooker switch also suitably rated for the appliance.
-
The electrical cable should not touch the hot parts of the appliance.
The electrical cable (not supplied) should not be routed through any area that may be affected by heat from the oven, especially the area directly behind the oven.

Using the Hob
Ignition Button
Press the knob of the burner you want to operate and turn the knob in the counterclockwise direction so that the knob is in max. position and with your other hand, press the ignition button at the same time. Press the ignition button immediately.
Manual Ignition of the Gas Burners
In the case of electricity failure resulting in loss of electronic ignition follow this procedure.
To ignite one of the burners, press and turn its knob counter-clockwise so that the knob is in max. position, ignite with a match, taper or another manual aid to its upper circumference. Move the ignition source away as soon as you see a stable flame.
Flame failure device:
This cooker is equipped with a flame failure device
In order for these to work correctly and to prevent the flame going out when you first ignite your burners, keep the knob pressed and hold or 10 seconds after the burner has ignited
Hob Burner Control
Right back burner Right front burner

Large flame Small flame
Control of the hob burners
The knob has 3 positions: Off (0), max (big flame symbol) and min (small flame symbol). After you ignite the burner in max. position you can adjust the flame length between max. and min. positions.
Do not operate the burners when the knob position is between max. and off positions. After the ignition, check the flames visually. If you see yellow tips, lifted or unstable flames; turn the gas flow off, and check the assembly of burner caps and crowns. Also, make sure that no liquid has spilled into the burner caps.
If the burner flames go out accidentally, turn the burners off, ventilate the kitchen with fresh air, and do not attempt re-ignition for 90 sec.
Using the Hob
When turning the hob off, turn the knob in the clockwise direction so that the knob shows "0" position or the marker on the knob points upwards.
Your hob has burners of different diameters. The most economic way of using gas is to choose the correct size gas burners for your cooking pan size and to bring the flame to the minimum position once the boiling point is reached. It is recommended to always cover your cooking pan.
Cookware Selection
In order to obtain maximum performance from the main burners, use pots with the following flat bottom diameters. Using smaller pots than the minimum dimensions stated below will cause energy loss.
Rapid Burner: 22-26cm
Medium Burner: 14-22cm
Auxiliary Burner: 12-18cm
Make sure that the tips of the flames do not spread out of the outer circumference of the pan, as this may also harm the accessories around the pan (handles etc.) When the burners are not in use for prolonged periods, always turn the main gas control valve off.
WARNING:
Use only flat bottomed pans and with a sufficiently thick base.
Ensure that the base of the pan is dry before placing it on the burners.
The temperature of accessible parts may be high when the appliance is operating.
So it is important to keep children and animals out of the reach of the burners during and after cooking (until the cooker has cooled down).

Two identical cooking pots with crossed handles, one heating on a stove and the other on a gas stove (no text or symbols)After use the hob remains very hot for a prolonged period of time, do not touch it and do not place any object on top of the hob.
Never place cutlery or lids on the hob as they will get hot and could cause serious burns.
SAFETY ADVICE IN THE CASE OF A COOKING PAN FIRE
- Turn off the burner.
- Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth. This will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
- Leave the pan to cool for at least an hour before attempting to move it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE
as the force of the extinguisher could tip the pan over.
Never use water to extinguish oil or fat pan fires.
