LIGHTING OF TOP BURNERS WITH
ELECTRIC IGNITION
- To light the burner turn the knob (fig.
3.1) corresponding to the specific bur-
ner to the maximum flame position
(large flame symbol) and press the
ignition button marked by the symbol
★(fig. 3.2).
If the electronic ignition does not work
make sure that the battery, installed
on the back of the cooker, is not flat
and has been installed correctly (see
the chapter “Battery installation”, page
11).
The sparks produced by the electro-
des situated next to the burner will
light the selected burner. In the event
that the local gas supply conditions
makes it difficult to light the burner in
maximum aperture position, try again
with the knob in minimum position.
- To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the
small flame symbol.
- The maximum aperture position
permits rapid boiling of liquids,
whereas the minimum aperture
position allows slower warming of
food or maintaining boiling conditions
of liquids.
- Other intermediate operating
adjustments can be achieved by
positioning the indicator between the
maximum and minimum aperture
positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and closed
positions.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their clo-
sed positions and also close the cock
valve on the gas bottle or the main
gas supply line.
Attention:
The cooktop becomes very hot
while in operation.
Keep children away.

Fig. 3.3
CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the capa-
city used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
It is important that the diameter of the
pot be suitable to the potentiality of the
burner so as not to compromise the high
output of the burners and therefore
energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not
give you a boiling point in a shorten
amount of time since the capacity of
heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.

GENERAL FEATURES
The oven is furnished completely clean;
it is advisable, however, upon first use,
to turn the oven on to the maximum tem-
perature (position 10) for about 15 minu-
tes to eliminate possible traces of grea-
se from the oven burner.
The gas oven, according to the model,
is provided with one burner:
– Oven burner, mounted on the lower
part of the oven (wattage: 3200 W)
The glass of the oven door rea-
ches high temperatures during
operation.
Keep children away.
The cooker lid must be kept
open when the gas oven is in
use.
4 - GAS OVEN
OVEN BURNER
It carries out normal “oven cooking”.
The gas flow to the burner is regulated
by a thermostat which allow to maintain
the oven temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is assu-
red by a thermostatic probe positioned
inside the oven.
The probe must be always kept in its
housing, in a clean condition, as an
incorrect position or encrustment may
cause an alteration in the control of the
temperature.
THERMOSTAT
The numbers 1 to 10 printed on the knob
(fig. 4.1) indicate the increasing oven
temperature value (see table 4.2).
The thermostatic tap controlling the gas
supply to the burner is equipped with a
safety device which automatically stops
the gas flow in case of flame extinction.
The temperature is constantly maintai-
ned on the set value.

the safety valve will automatically shut
off the gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven
control knob to position ●, wait for at
least 1 minute and then repeat the
lighting procedure.
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to recuperate the stored heat.

10
* When the appliance is not being used,
it is advisable to keep the gas tap clo-
sed.
From time to time check to make sure
that the flexible tube that connects the
gas line or the gas cylinder to the
appliance is in perfect condition and
eventually substitute it, if it shows signs
of wearing or damage.
* The periodical lubrification of the gas
taps must be done only by specialized
personnel. In case of difficulty in the gas
taps operation, call Service.
Attention:
The cooktop becomes very hot
while in operation.
The oven door becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children away.

1,5 V
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Insert a type C battery (1.5 Volt) into
the battery compartment on the back
of the cooker (fig. 5.1).
This battery is the power supply for
the electronic ignition of gas burners.
Batteries last on average for about two
years (alkaline battery) depending on
how often the electronic ignition is
used.
Notes for battery installation or
replacement:
- Only use a type C 1.5 Volt battery.
- Check for correct polarity (fig. 5.2
and label to the side of the battery
compartment).
Important notes:
- Remove the battery if the cooker is
not going to be used for a long time.
- If the battery leaks, replace it imme-
diately. Avoid touching the leaked
liquid and make sure it does not
come into contact with clothes or
other items.
- Clean the battery compartment care-
fully before installing the new one.
- Note: The battery is a potential sour-
ce of danger for children. Keep them
away.
- Dispose of flat batteries properly.

GENERAL ADVICE
It is advisable to clean when the
appliance is cold and especially for clea-
ning the enamelled parts.
Avoid leaving alcaline or acidic substan-
ces (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the
surfaces. Avoid using cleaning products
with a chlorine or acidic base.
OVEN
The oven must always be cleaned after
every use, using suitable products and
keeping in mind that its operation for 30
minutes on the highest temperature eli-
minates most grime reducing it to ashes.
The clean-up of the oven with catalytic
self-cleaning enamel is done automati-
cally during cooking, and therefore no
intervention is necessary.
Only when the grime is particularly resi-
stant it is advisable to increase the clea-
ning time leaving the electrical elements
on at the maximun temperature, with the
oven empty. It is mandatory not to use
abrasive substances so as not to dama-
ge the self-cleaning coating.
ENAMELLED PARTS
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned
with a sponge and soapy water or other
non-abrasive products.
Dry preferably with a soft cloth.
Acidic substances like lemon juice,
tomato sauce, vinegar etc. can damage
the enamel if left too long.
STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINIUM
PARTS AND SILK-SCREEN PRINTED
SURFACES
Clean using an appropriate product.
Always dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: these parts must be
cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching
and abrasion. You are advised to use a
soft cloth and neutral soap.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive
substances or non-neutral detergents
as these will irreparably damage the
protective surface.
6 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

13
Fig. 6.2
BURNERS, GRATES AND RACKS
These parts may be removed and
washed with suitable products.
The burners and their caps must be well
dried after cleaning and put back perfec-
tly into their slots.
It is very important to verify the positio-
ning of the burner-caps because a
misplacing in their slots can cause
serious damage.
Verify that the electrode is always clea-
ned well as to permit the regular snap
of the spark.
OVEN DOOR
The internal glass of the oven door can
be easily removed for cleaning by
unscrewing the two lateral fixing screws
(fig. 6.2).

CHOOSING SUITABLE
SURROUNDINGS
In the room chosen to accommodate the
gas appliance, there must be an adequa-
te natural draft to allow combustion of the
gas.
The flow of air must come directly from
one or more openings made in the
outside walls with a free area of at
least 100 cm2.
If the appliance does not have a no-
flame safety device this opening must
have an area of at least 200 cm2.
The vents must be positioned close to
the floor, preferably on the opposite side
to the combustion discharge outlet and
must be designed in such a way that
they cannot be obstructed either from the
inside or the outside.
When it is not possible to provide the
necessary vents, the draft may be sup-
plied from an adjacent room, ventilated
in the required manner, provided it is not
a bedroom or an area at risk.
In this event, the door of the kitchen must
be opened to allow the draft to enter the
room.

DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF
COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to the
outside must be provided, to allow the
products of combustion of the gas
appliance to be discharged (fig. 7.3).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may
be used, attached to the external wall or
the window; the fan should have a capa-
city to circulate air at an hourly rate of
3-5 times the total volume of the kitchen
(fig. 7.4).
The fan can only be installed if the room
has suitable vents to allow air to enter,
as described under the heading
“Choosing suitable surroundings”.
