AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION (optional)
To ignite the burner, press the knob of the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the minimum position. Keeping the knob
pressed in, the automatic ignition of the burner will operate.
In case of power failure, the burner can also be lit using a match.
APPLIANCES WITH SAFETY VALVE (optional)
Follow the same procedure described above to ignite the burners.
In this case, once the burner is lit you have to hold the control
knob pressed in for approximately 10 seconds until the burner
flame stays on, if the flame does not stay on repeat the process.
If for any reason the burner flame goes out, the safety valve
automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner in question.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•The diameter of the pan bottom should correspond to that of
the burner.The burner flame must never extend beyond the
diameter of the pan. Use flat-bottomed pans only.
•Whenever possible, keep a lid on the pan while cooking, this
will save energy.
•Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc.with as little water as possible
to reduce cooking times.
USING ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
When using an electric hotplate for the first time or after a long
period of disuse, turn the knob to 1 and let it heat for about 20
minutes to eliminate any possible moisture absorbed by the internal
insulating material.
- Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hotplate.
- Turn the hotplate on only after placing the pan on it.
The hotplate is controlled by a commutator. Turn the knob until
position 1 to turn the hotlplate on (Fig.1). Awarning light on the
control panel will inform you if the plate is on or off.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•The diameter of the saucepan must be the same or slightly larger
than that of the electric hotplate. Never use a pan which is
smaller than the electric hotplate.
• Use flat-bottomed pans only.
•Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
• Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
reduce cooking times.

IMPORTANT
This cooker is supplied for use (see label on the bach near the
inlet connection of the gas) and cannot be used for any other gas
without modification.
Conversion for other gases must only be undertaken by a qualified
person. For information for use on other gases contact your local
Service Centre.
The cooker must be installed by a qualified person in accordance
with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) (Amendment) Regulations
1990 and the relevant building/I.E.E.Regulations.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any
manufacturers warranty and lead to prosecution under the above
quoted regulations.
In the UK, CORGI registered installers are authorised to undertake
the installation and service work in compliance with the above
regulations.All Baumatic engineers are CORGI registered.
Provision forVentilation
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 2:The room must have an opening
windows or equivalent;some rooms may also require a permanent
vent.If the room has a volume between 5 and 10m3, it will require
an air vent of 50cm2 effective area unless it has a door which opens
directly to the outside.If the room has a volume of less than 5m3,
it will require an air vent of 100cm2 effective area.If there are other
fuel burning appliances in the same room, BS 5440: Part 2: 1989
should be consulted to determine air vent requirements. Ensure
that the room containing the cooker is well ventilated, keep natural
ventilation holes or install a mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical cooker hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window,
or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present. This cooker is not fitted with
a device for discharging the products of combustion. Ensure that
the ventilation rules and regulations are followed. Excess steam
from the oven, vents out at the top back edge of the cooker, so
make sure that the walls behind and near the cooker are resistant
to heat, steam and condensation. Your cooker must stand on a
flat surface so that when it is in position the hob is level. When in
position check that the cooker is level by using a spirit level and
adjust the 2 feet at the rear and the 2 feet at the front if necessary.
It is important that the cooker is stable and level for the overall
cooking performance.
Remember that the quantity of air necessary for combustion must
never be less than 2m3/h for each kW of power (see total power
in kW on the appliance data plate).
