operation manual.
DO NOT LIFT COOKER BY THE FRONT DOOR AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE OVEN
Ventilation opening must not be covered or obstructed in any way.
VENTILATION
The room containing this cooker should have an air supply in accordance with local regulations.
-All rooms require an open window, or equivalent and some rooms will require a
permanent vent as well.
-For room areas up to 5 m2an air vent of 100 cm2is required.
-For room areas between 5 m2and 100 cm2an air vent of 50 cm2is required.
-If the room is greater than 5 m2and has a door that opens directly to the outside, then no
air vent is required.
-If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room local regulations should be
consulted to determine the air vent requirements.
DISCHARGE OF FUEL GASES
Cooking appliances must always discharge the flue
gases into special hoods (fig.1-C), which must be
connected to chimneys, flue pipes or have direct
access to the outside. If it is not possible to connect
a hood, an electric fan can be fitted to a window or
a wall (fig.1-E), which must be turned on when the
cooker is on, as long as ventilation standards are
strictly adhered to.
Fig.1

RECOMMENDED VENTILATION HEIGHT
-for ceramic cooktop model min. 24” above range
-for gas cooktop model min. 30” above range
When ranges are installed in close proximity to vinyl finish cabinets,
those materials should be able to withstand temperature up to 75°C centigrade.
Alternatively, heat insulating barriers should be installed to avoid any
deterioration to the finish.
The equipment must not be installed near inflammable materials, such as curtains, cloths etc.
Pay particular attention to the position of the electric cable and gas pipe: they must
not touch any hot parts of the oven
The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for damages to cabinetry where
manufacturer installation guidelines were not adhered to.
CONVERTING THE GAS-SUPPLY TO THE HOB BURNERS
Burners: auxiliary, semi-rapid, rapid, triple crown, griddle burner.
These burners are all fitted with injectors designed to create a primary input of air gauged for
each type of gas. This means that the air regulator does not have to be regulated. Proceed as
follows in order to convert from one type of gas to another: remove the grids, covers, holed flame
diffuser and the burner supports (fig. 7); replace the holed injectors as indicated in 7/C according
to the type of gas used (see table 1); put the burner supports, flame diffusers, covers and grids
back in position; regulate the minimum output following the instructions in paragraph 1.7.
REGULATING THE MINIMUM OUTPUT OF THE HOB BURNERS
Normal/valve taps:
Ignite the burners and turn the knob to the maximum position. Remove the knob and insert a
small flat-head screwdriver into the rod or through the holes on the side of the control panel, in
accordance with the type (fig. 8 A/B). Loosen the by-pass screw by two turns in an anti-clockwise
direction and rotate the rod to the minimum position. Adjust the previously loosened screws until
the flame is lowered but stable, evenwhen rapid changes are made from the maximum to the
minimum position with the burner cold. If safety taps are fitted, let the burner run on minimum for
a few minutes to ensure that the device does not cut in. If it does, increase the minimum.
N.B. For liquid gas settings, the burner minimum must be set by fully tightening the tap
by-passes

Fig.8
WARNINGS:
-If the burner flames accidentally go out, turn off the KNOB and wait for at least one minute
before igniting.
-Using a gas cooker produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Ensure the
room is well ventilated by keeping all the natural air vents open or by installing an extraction
hood with flue pipe.
-Intensive or extensive use of the cooker may require supplementary ventilation e.g. opening
a window, or more efficient ventilation e.g. increasing the capacity of the mechanic
ventilation, if installed.
N.B. When the burners are alight, there must not be any draughts inside the room in
that they may affect the flame or even blow it out.
The operations indicated below must be followed by qualified personnel, in conformity with the
regulations in force.
The supplier refuses all responsibility for damages to person or property, resulting from
the failure to comply with such provisions.
The appliance is designed to be used near heat resistant pieces of furniture or kitchen cabinetry
only.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (FIG.7)
Before carrying out electrical connection, be sure that the characteristics of the electrical system
meet the specifications located at the bottom of the cooktop and the electrical system is provided
with effective ground in compliance with the regulations and provision of the law in your country.
The ground is required in all circumstances.
If you wish a direct connection to the line, it is necessary to use a single pole switch, with a
minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm. suitable for the purpose and in conformity with
the rules in your country (the yellow/green ground cable should not be interrupted by the switch).

Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position and press the knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep theknob pressed for about 6 seconds.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without wasting gas, it is important that the diameter of
the pot is suitable for the burner potential (see the following table and fig.1). This is to avoid the
flame extremities being larger than the base of the pot. All of the operating positions must be
chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and
the closing point.
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing position.
NOTE:
If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches, setting the knob to the
startup
point (large flame, fig. 1).

CONVENTIONAL OVEN
In this traditional mode, oven heat is provided from elements located at the top and under the
oven compartment and is most suitable when cooking on a single shelf. For best results, arrange
the shelves so the top of the food is near the centre of the oven.
If cooking on more than one shelf, always preheat the oven and position the pans to allow as
much free circulation of heat as possible.
Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray position during cooking.
1-Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2-Select Conventional Oven mode.
3-Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4-When cooking is complete turn the oven off.
HINT:
If water is used in your cooking (such as water placed in a baking dish) the water will evaporate in
the oven in the form of steam. The level of condensation will be reduced when cooking in fan
oven mode where excess moisture is circulated and evaporates during the cooking cycle.
NOTE:
Stand clear of the oven when opening the oven door as steam may escape rapid
FAN ASSIST
This style of cooking provides traditional cooking heating from top and bottom elements with the
assistance of a circulation fan to ensure fast even results. This mode is most suitable for delicate
cooking such as cakes, pastries, gateaux, biscuits and yeast dough. Best results when
thermostat is set to 150-180 degrees –depending on recipe.
This function is also excellent as the fastest oven pre heat, engaging maximum power to heat the
oven to a selected temperature before selecting an appropriate function and temperature for a
task.
