SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not open the cooker knobs before already having a lighted match or a gas lighter in
your hand.
 Do not put out a burner ame by blowing.
 A glass cover may crack when heated. Switch o󰀨 all the burners before lowering the cover.
(Cookers with a glass cover).
 Do not make your own alterations to the cooker in order to adapt it to a di󰀨erent type
of gas, move the cooker to another place or make changes to the power supply. These
operations may only be carried out by an authorised electrician or tter.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can
scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking.
Keep young children and people not acquainted with the instruction manual away from
the cooker.
 IN CASE OF ANY SUSPICION OF GAS LEAKAGE YOU MUST NOT:
light matches, smoke cigarettes, switch electrical receivers (door bell or light switch) on
and o󰀨, or use other electric and mechanical devices that create electrical or percussive
sparks. In such a case, immediately close the cylinder valve or tap cutting o󰀨 gas supply,
air the room, and then call a person authorised to repair the source of the leakage.
In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power (applying
the above rule) and report the fault to the service centre to be repaired.
Do not attach any antenna cords (e.g. radio) to the gas supply.
 In a case of gas escaping from leaky piping and catching re, close gas supply immediately
using a cutting-o󰀨 valve.
 In a case of gas escaping from a leaky cylinder and catching re: throw a wet blanket over
the cylinder to cool it down and turn o󰀨 the cylinder valve. After it has cooled down, take
the cylinder out to an open space. Do not use the damaged cylinder.
When the cooker is not to be used for several days, close the main valve on the gas pip-
ing; when using a gas cylinder, close it after each use.
Using the appliance for cooking and baking results in the emission of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Make sure that kitchen is well ventilated. Natural ventila-
tion openings or forced mechanical ventilation (exhaust hood) should be available.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example,
opening a window or a more e󰀨ective ventilation, such as increasing e󰀩ciency of mechani-
cal ventilation, if applicable.
The appliance has been designed only for cooking. Any other use (for example for heat-
ing) does not comply with its operating prole and may cause danger.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
VENTILATION
The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventila-
tion holes open or install a mechanical ven-
tilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may cali for additional ventilation, for exam-
ple, opening of a window, or more e󰀨ectiye
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
GAS & ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Please refer to installation instructions for the
Gas & Electrical Safety Regulations and the
Ventilation Requirements.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is
the law that all gaś appliances be installed by
competent persons, who will ensure that the
installation is in accordance with „The Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1994”,
& the „The Gas Safety (Installation & Use)
(Amendment) Regulations 1996”. Failure to
comply with these Regulations is a criminal
offence. GAS SAFE registered installers
undertake to work to satisfactory standards.
Disconnection of gas and electric appliances
should always be carried out by competent
persons.
Warmng: This appliance must be earthed.
MOVING THE COOKER
Do not attempt to move the cooker by pulling
on the doors or handles. Open the door and
grasp the frame of the cooker, taking care that
the door does not shut on your ngers.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
burner crown.
Always remember to cover and pans.
Ensure burners, the grate the hob are
clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt-on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
In particular, ensure that ame openings in
the rings under caps, and openings of burner
nozzles are clean.
Do not uncover the pan too often (a
watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker burner.
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
it is recommended to switch o󰀨 the oven 10
minutes before the end time.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

Surface burners applied do not require adjust-
ment of primary air. A correct ame has dis-
tinct internal cones of blue and green colour.
A short, humming ame or long, yellow and
smoking one, without clearly outlined cones,
shows improper quality of gas in the house-
hold piping or a damaged or soiled burner.
In order to check a ame, heat a burner for
around 10 minutes with a full ame, and next
turn the valve knob to the economical ame
position. The ame should not go out or jump
onto the nozzles.
INSTALLATION
Knobs should be adjusted with the burner
switched on and set to the economical ame
position, using an adjustment screwdriver of
the 2.5 mm size.
In order to perform adjusting operations, take
o󰀨 the knobs.

OPERATION
BEFORE FIRST USE
Important!
To clean the oven, only use a cloth
well rang out with warm water to
which a little washing-up liquid has
been added.
First start – preliminary cleaning
To remove residues of fat and oil accumulated
during the manufacturing process and dust
accumulated during storage and transport,
the preliminary cleaning of the equipment
should be carried out. This way our health
is protected and tasty cakes and roasts are
provided.
Caustic agents and abrasive powders
should be avoided as they can damage
the surface.
Preliminary heating
1. Remove packaging elements from the
oven chamber.
2. Turn on ventilation in the room or open a
window.
3. Start the oven at the temperature of 2500C.
4. Heat the oven for around 30 minutes.
The smell that is emitted during the rst
heating of the oven is connected with
vapouring of residues of fat and oil used to
protect the oven for the time of storing.

How to use surface burners
Choice of cookware
Mind that the diameter of a pan base is always
larger than the burner ame crown, and that
the pan itself is covered. The recommended
pan diameter is around 2.5 to 3 times larger
than the burner diameter, that is, for:
an auxiliary burner – a pan with a diameter
of 90 to 150 mm,
a medium burner – a pan with a diameter
of 160 to 220 mm,
a large burner – a pan with a diameter of
200 to 240 mm, and the pan height should
not be greater than its diameter.
Ignition without an ignitor
light a match,
press in the knob to the end and turn it
left to the “large ame” position
ignite gas with a match,
set required ame size (e.g. “economical”
),
switch off the burner after finishing
cooking, turning the knob right (to the o󰀨
position).
Gas burner control knobs
Knob ignition
press in the knob to the end and turn it left
to the “large ame” position ,
hold until gas is lit,
after the ame is lighted release the pres-
sure on the knob and set a required ame
size.
Incorrect
Correct
Caution!
The cooker is equipped with a surface
burner safety valve, hold the knob
pressed down to the end when ignit-
ing for 10 seconds at the “large ame”
position to activate the safety device.
Operation of the burner protection valve
Automatic system cuts o󰀨 gas supply to a
burner when the ame has disappeared.
This system protects the cooker against gas
leakage when the ame on a burner goes out
e.g. in case of spillage.
The user’s intervention is needed to re-ignite
the burner.

20
Selection of the appropriate ame
A correctly adjusted burner has a light blue
ame with a clearly visible internal cone. Se-
lection of ame size depends on the position
of the burner knob which has been set:
large ame
small ame (“economical ame”)
 burner switched o󰀨 (gas supply is cut o󰀨)
Depending on requirements, ame size can
be set in a continuous manner.
