GAS SUPPLY:
■The connection must be executed by an authorised person according to the rele-
vant standards.
■Before connecting the appliance to the gas main, mount the brass conical adaptor
onto the gas inlet pipe, upon which the gasket has been placed (figures 1.10 -
1.11).
Conical adaptor and gasket are supplied with the appliance (packed with conver-
sion kit for use with Natural gas or Propane gas).
■This appliance is suitable for use with Natural Gas or Propane gas. (Check the “gas
type” sticker attached to the appliance).
■For Natural Gas models the gas supply is connected to the pressure regulator
which is supplied with the appliance (fig. 1.11). Adjust the regulator to obtain a
test point pressure of 1 kPa with the two semi-rapid (SR) burners operating at the
maximum.
■For Propane gas models the gas supply is connected to the test point adaptor
which is supplied with the appliance (fig. 1.10) and ensure that the supply pres-
sure is regulated to 2.75 kPa.
■The connection must be made at the rear of appliance. If the connection pipe
cross the cooker, it must be positioned under the cooker rear protection (fig. 1.12).
■IMPORTANT: Use two spanners to tighten or loosen the connecting pipe (fig. 1.13)

1. After connecting the gas supply, check the piping and connections for leaks using
a soap and water solution. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak, tighten or
replace connections as appropriate.
Warning: Do not use any naked flame to check for leaks.
2. Adjust the test point pressure or supply pressure to the value which is appropriate
for the gas type.
3. The operation of the appliance must be tested when installation is completed.
4. Turn on the appliance gas controls and light each burner individually and in combi-
nation. Check for a well defined blue flame without any yellow tipping. If any
abnormality is evident then check that the burner cap is located properly and the
injector nipple is aligned correctly.
5. Check the minimum burner setting by quickly rotating the gas control knob from
the maximum to the minimum position, the flame must not go out. If adjustment is

required carry out the “minimum burner setting
adjustment" procedure described
6. If satisfacfory performance cannot be obtained, the
installer shall check the installation and notify the
local gas supply authority for a gas supply problem,
or if it is an appliance problem, our Customer Service
Centre should be called to obtain the nearest autho-
rized DeLonghi Service Agent.
WARNING, This appliance IS NOT SUITABLE for
installation with a hose assembly.

CONVERSION PROCEDURE (to convert to LPG Propane)
REPLACING THE INJECTORS
This appliance is suitable for use with Natural gas or Propane gas (check the “gas type”
sticker attached to the appliance). A label stating the type of gas used after replacing
the injectors must be attached at the rear of the appliance, in proximity of the gas inlet
connection. The nominal gas consumption and injector size details are provided in
table at page 15.
To replace the injectors proceed as follows:
■Remove pan supports and burners from the cooktop.
■Using a spanner, remove the injector J (fig. 1.14 - 1.15) and replace it with one
according to the gas type (see following tables - page 15).
■Affix to the rear of the appliance, in proximity of the gas inlet connections, the
warning label (supplied with the conversion kit) stating that the cooker has
been converted for use with Propane gas / Natural gas.
IMPORTANT
■If the cooker is suitable for use with Natural gas and must be converted for use
with Propane gas, before connecting to gas main remove the appliance gas
regulator and replace with test point adaptor (see fig. 1.10 - 1.11)
■If the cooker is suitable for use with Propane gas and must be converted for use
with Natural gas, before connecting to the gas main remove the appliance test
point adaptor and replace with gas regulator (see figs. 1.10 - 1.11).
NOTE:
Gas regulator and test point adaptor are supplied with the appliance (packed with
conversion kit)
The burners are designed so that regulation of primary air is not required.

MINIMUM BURNER SETTING ADJUSTMENT
Check whether the flame spreads to all burner ports when the burner is lit with the gas
tap set to the minimum position. If some ports do not light, increase the minimum gas
rate setting.
Check whether the burner remains lit even when the gas tap is turned quickly from
the maximum to the minimum position. If the burner does not remain lit, increase the
minimum gas rate setting.
The procedure for adjusting the minimum gas rate setting is described below.
■Turn on the burner
■Turn the tap to the MINIMUM position
■Take off the knob
■With a small flat screwdriver turn the screw “F” (fig. 1.16) to the correct regula-
tion.
Normally for Propane gas, the regulation screw is tightened up.

LUBRICATION OF THE GAS TAPS
If the gas tap becomes stiff, it is necessary to dismantle it carefully and clean it with petroleum
spirit. Specialist high temperature resistant grease should be used to lubricate the tap before
replacing.
The operations must be carried out by an authorised person/service agent.

Please note: This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan which you will hear
operating whenever the oven or grill are in use. This fan is to reduce the external
temperature of the appliance and cool the internal components.

17
GREASE FILTER (BOTTOM MAIN OVEN ONLY)
■A special screen is provided at the back of the multifunction main oven to catch
grease particles, mainly when meat is being roasted (fig. 2.1).
■When baking pastry etc. this filter should be removed.
■Always clean the filter after cooking as any solid residues on it might adversely
affect the oven performance.
Figure 2.1

18
USING THE BOTTOM MAIN OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
■Slide off the sliding shelves to the oven wall by unscrewing the 2 screws as in Fig.
2.3. The grill is secured to the rear wall of the oven on a hinge system that allows
it to be lowered to allow proper access when cleaning the oven ceiling (fig. 2.2).
■Clean the inside of the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent
and dry thoroughly.
Figure 2.2
