!Before operating your new appliance please read
this instruction booklet carefully. It contains
important information concerning the safe installation
and operation of the appliance.
!Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept
with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
!The appliance must be installed by a qualified
professional according to the instructions provided.
!Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected
from the electricity supply.
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently-
ventilated rooms, in accordance with current national
legislation. The room in which the appliance is installed
must be ventilated adequately so as to provide as
much air as is needed by the normal gas combustion
process (the flow of air must not be lower than 2 m3/h
per kW of installed power).
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct
with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm2and
should be positioned so that they are not liable to even
partial obstruction (
see figure A ).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a
minimum of 200 cm2- whenever the surface of the hob
is not equipped with a flame failure safety device. When
the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner from
adjacent rooms (
see figure B ), provided that these are
not communal parts of a building, areas with increased
fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with
a ventilation duct leading outside as described above.
!After prolonged use of the appliance, it is
advisable to open a window or increase the speed of
any fans used.
Disposing of combustion fumes
The disposal of combustion fumes should be
guaranteed using a hood connected to a safe and
efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric
fan that begins to operate automatically every time
the appliance is switched on (
see figure ).
!The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air
and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms
containing LPG cylinders must have openings
leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape
easily. LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or
completely full, must not be installed or stored in
rooms or storage areas that are below ground level
(cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should
be stored in the room; this should also be kept well
away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys,
stoves) that may cause the temperature of the
cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
!It is possible to install the appliance alongside
cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the
hob surface.
!Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of
the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-
resistant material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bed-
sit (not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards,
the appliance must be installed at least 200 mm
away from them.

Electrical connection
Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load
indicated on the appliance data plate (
see Technical
data table
). The appliance must be directly connected
to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a
minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between
the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must
be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply
with NFC 15-100 regulations (the earthing wire must not
be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable
must be positioned so that it does not come into
contact with temperatures higher than 50°C at any point.
Before connecting the appliance to the power
supply, make sure that:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated by the data plate.
Levelling If it is necessary to level the
appliance, screw the
adjustable feet into the places
provided on each corner of the
base of the cooker (
see
figure
).
The legs* fit into the slots on
the underside of the base of
the cooker.
• If the cooker is
installed underneath a
wall cabinet, there must
be a minimum distance
of 420 mm between
this cabinet and the top
of the hob. This
distance should be
increased to 700 mm if
the wall cabinets are
flammable (
see figure ).
• Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less
than 200 mm away from its sides.
• Any hoods must be installed according to the
instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.
• The voltage is in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it.
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
!Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be
easily accessible.
!The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced
by authorised technicians only.
!The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.
Gas connection
Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder
may be carried out using a flexible rubber or steel
hose, in accordance with current national legislation
and after making sure that the appliance is suited to
the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see the
rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case
see
below
). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a
pressure regulator which complies with current national
regulations. To make connection easier, the gas
supply may be turned sideways*: reverse the position
of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the
gasket that is supplied with the appliance.
!Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in the Table of burner and
nozzle specifications (
see below ). This will ensure the
safe operation and durability of your appliance while
maintaining efficient energy consumption.
Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose
Make sure that the hose complies with current
national legislation.
Once the connection has been performed, make
sure that the hose:
• Does not come into contact with any parts that
reach temperatures of over 50°C.
• Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and
that it is not kinked or bent.
• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp
corners or moving parts and that it is not
compressed.
• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that
its condition may be checked.

GB
Adapting to different types of gas
It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas
other than the default type (this is indicated on the
rating label on the cover).
Adapting the hob
Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off
their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using
a 7 mm socket spanner (
see
figure
), and replace them with
nozzles suited to the new type
of gas (
see Burner and nozzle
specifications table
).
3. Replace all the components
by following the above instructions in reverse.
Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:
1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory
screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap
pin, until the flame is small but steady.
!If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas
supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as
tightly as possible.
3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position
of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa
several times, checking that the flame is not
extinguished.
!The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
!After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a
different type of gas, replace the old rating label with a
new one that corresponds to the new type of gas (these
labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance
Centres).
!Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary
slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable
pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet hose in
accordance with current national regulations relating to
“regulators for channelled gas”.
• Is shorter than 1500 mm.
• Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be
fixed using clamps that comply with current
regulations.
!If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or
if the cooker must be installed according to the
conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances
(installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel
hose must be used instead (
see below ).
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel
pipe to a threaded attachment
Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with
current national legislation.
To prepare the hose for use, connect it to the gas
inlet pipe fitting of the appliance. (The pipe fitting is
a threaded ½ gas conical male attachment).
!Perform the connection in such a way that the hose
length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres,
making sure that the hose is not compressed and
does not come into contact with moving parts.
Checking the connection for leaks
When the installation process is complete, check the
hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never
use a flame.

Start-up and use
Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring
showing the strength of the flame for the relevant
burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the
maximum flame setting.
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired
level by turning the BURNER knob in an
anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum
setting, the maximum setting or any position in
between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with
an electronic lighting device*
(
see figure ), press the ignition
button, marked with the
symbol , then hold the
BURNER knob down and turn
it in an anticlockwise direction,
towards the maximum flame
setting, until the burner is lit. The burner may be
extinguished when the knob is released. If this
occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down
for a longer period of time.
!If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off
the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before
attempting to relight it.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it
reaches the stop position •.
Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way
possible and to save on the amount of gas
consumed, it is recommended that only pans that
have a lid and a flat base are used. They should
also be suited to the size of the burner.
Using the oven
!The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.
!Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning
the THERMOSTAT knob.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested
cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant
table (
see Oven cooking advice table ).
During cooking it is always possible to:
• Change the cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to
the “0” position.
!Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating
heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven
reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately,
indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long
as the oven is operating. By selecting 88

Cooking modes
OVEN DEFROST mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-
temperature air around the food. This programme is
suitable for defrosting any type of food, especially
delicate items that should not be heated, for
example: ice-cream cakes or cakes made with
custard, cream or fruit. The defrosting time will be
approximately halved. When defrosting meat, fish or
bread, the process may be accelerated by using the
“multi-cooking” mode and setting a temperature
between 80°C and 100°C.

STATIC OVEN mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and

it is best to use only one rack at a time, otherwise
the heat will not be distributed evenly.

GRILLGRILL
GRILLGRILL
GRILL mode
Temperature: Max.
The central part of the top heating element is
switched on. The high and direct temperature of the
grill is recommended for food that requires a high
surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet
steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a
limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling
small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the
rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed
in the corners.
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and
200°C. The top heating element and the fan will
begin to operate. 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
prevents the food from burning on top by enabling
heat to penetrate into the food more effectively; it is
therefore an ideal way of cooking food quickly under
the grill or for grilling large pieces of meat.
!The TOP OVEN, GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED GRILL
cooking modes must be performed with the oven
door shut.
!When using the TOP OVEN and GRILL cooking
modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or
grease). When using the FAN-ASSISTED GRILL
cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the
dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues.
Lower oven compartment
There is a compartment underneath the oven that may
be used to store oven accessories or deep dishes. To
open the door pull it downwards (
see figure ).
!Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
compartment.
Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN-
ASSISTED OVEN cooking mode , as this is the
only cooking mode suited to this type of cooking.
We also recommend that:
• Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because
excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive
foods.
• Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that requires
more heat is placed on the rack in position 2.
• When cooking foods that require different cooking
times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
halfway between the two recommended temperatures
(
see Oven cooking advice table ) and place the more
delicate food on the rack in position 4. Remove the
food that requires a shorter cooking time first.
• When cooking pizzas on several racks with the
temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated for 15
minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on the rack in
position 4 takes longer: we recommend that the pizza
cooked on the lowest rack position is removed first,
followed by the pizza cooked in position 4 a few
minutes later.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on
top.

Analogue timer
Setting the clock and timer
The oven must be connected to the electricity
supply.
Pull the knob and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction to set the correct time.
!The clock operates electrically, therefore if the
electricity supply is interrupted it will stop.
Once the electricity supply has been restored it will
be necessary to repeat the procedure described
above for setting the time.
Timer feature
The timer feature allows you to enter a specific
amount of time and counts down from this time to
zero. This feature does not switch the oven on or off;
it merely sounds when the set time has elapsed.
• Turn the knob in an anticlockwise direction until
the marker corresponds with the desired time
(internal scale), which can be seen through the
“window”. The timer begins counting down
immediately. To stop the buzzer, or to use the
timer function on its own, turn the marker to the
symbol.
