INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
DIMENSIONS AND INSTALLATION FEATURES
WARNING:
a) Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the
gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible;
b) The adjustment conditions for this appliance are stated on marking plate;
c) This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device.
It shall be installed and connected in accordance with current installation
regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the relevant requirements
regarding ventilation.

The cooker is supplied with an anti-tilting chain to prevent the appliance from
tilting forward and accidental damage to the gas pipe. Take the expansion with
hook and make an adequate hole in the wall behind, at the same height as the
chain fixing area. Insert the plug into the hole and then screw in the hook until it is
firmly fixed to the wall. Fix the chain to the hook. Adjust to level of the cooker
inserting the feet provided.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance is fitted with an approved 15 Amp flexible cord which must be
connected to a correctly earthed socket outlet. The manufacturer is not liable for
any direct or indirect damage caused by faulty installation or connection. It is
therefore necessary that all installation and connection operations are carried out
by qualified personnel complying with the local and general regulations in force.
The wire section on the cable must not be less than 1.5mm (3×1.5cable).
CONNECTION OF THE FEEDING CABLE TO THE MAINS
Connect the feeding cable to a plug suitable for the load indicated on the rating
plate of the product. In case of a direct connection to the mains (cable without plug),
it is necessary to insert a suitable omnipolar switch before the appliance, with
minimum opening between contacts of 3 mm (the grounding wire should not be
interrupted by the switch).

Before connecting to the mains, make sure that:
1) The electrical counter, the safety valve, the feeding line and the socket are
adequate to with stand the maximum load required (see rating plate).
2) The supply system is regularly grounded, according to the regulations in force.
3) The socket or the omnipolar switch can easily be reached after the installation of
the oven. After carrying out the connection to the mains, check that the supplying
cable does not come into contact with parts subject to heating.
4) Never use reductions, shunts, adaptors which can cause overheating or burning.
5) The manufacturer is not liable for any direct or indirect damage caused by faulty
installation or connection. It is therefore necessary that all installation and
connection operations are carried out by qualified personnel complying with the
local and general regulations in force.

surroundings within safe limits.
GAS CONNECTION
The appliance must be connected to the gas supply or the cylinder according to the
specifications of the standards and after checking that it is adjusted for the type of
gas available. Once the appliance has been installed, make sure that the gas pipe
is neither squashed nor damaged by moving parts.Before Leaving, check all
connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for
detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and separately to ensure correct
operation of gas valves, burners and ignition.

ABNORMAL OPERATION
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ABNORMAL OPERATION
AND MAY REQUIRE IMMEDIATE SERVICING:
- Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.
- Sooting up of cooking utensils.
- Burners not igniting properly.
- Burners failing to remain alight.
- Burners extinguished by oven door.
- Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - GAS HOB
WARNING:
1) This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force
and only used in a well ventilated space (Read the instructors before
installing or using this appliance.)
2) The use of a gas cooking appliance might result the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated.
3) Keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical extractor hood).

DESCRIPTIONS OF SYMBOLS
IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite a burner, it is necessary to depress the knob while rotating it anti-
clockwise, until the index is aligned with the position corresponding to the
maximum gas delivery (i.e. the large flame symbol).
As far as the models equipped with a safety valve are concerned, once the flame is
lit hold the knob depressed for about 3-4 seconds till the device keeps the burner
automatically lit. If the burner fails to ignite, wait one minute for the gas to dissipate
before attempting to reignite. At this moment it is possible to adjust the flame
intensity by rotating the knob anticlockwise from maximum position to the minimum
one (i.e. the small flame symbol).
In order to turn the burner off, rotate the knob clockwise bringing the index back to
the position corresponding to the closure symbol (●).
IN CASE THE APPLIANCE FAILS TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, CONTACT THE
AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In case of electric power failure, it is necessary to carry out the above-described
operations by putting a gas lighter or a flame near the burner (in such an event, pay
the utmost attention not to burn yourself).
The safety valve (for models where such item is provided) intervenes in case of
accidental flame failure, blocking the gas delivery (e.g. air draughts, spillage of
liquids, etc.). In any case, the ignition device must not be actuated for longer than
15 seconds. Should the ignition manoeuvre fail, or should the burner be
accidentally turned off, immediately close the actuation knob and repeat the ignition
after one minute at least.
Once the ignition has taken place, adjust the flame according to your needs.
ADVICE ON THE USE OF GAS BURNERS
For lower gas consumption and a better yield, use saucepans with diameter
suitable for the burners, avoiding the flame coming up round the side of the
saucepan (see the Container Table). Use only flatbottomed pans.
As soon as a liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to
maintain boiling. During cooking, when using fats and oils, be very careful because
if they overheat they could catch fire.

required temperature, between 60º to MAX. If the appliance is operating with an
electric oven, the warning light will come on when the oven is heating up. When it
goes out it means that it reaches the required temperature. Regular flashing means
that oven temperature is being constantly maintained at the programmed level.
ELECTRIC OVEN CONTROL KNOB
Each of the functions listed below can be used only together with the correct
temperature. The programme selector and thermostat control is used to select
various oven functions and to choose the cooking temperatures best corresponding
to the food to be cooked. During oven operation the lamp will always remain on.

OVEN FUNCTIONS
The oven door must be closed for all cooking methods.
LAMP
The lamp of the oven is on, with no heating elements operated (electrical resistances).
During oven operation the lamp will always remain on.
TRADITIONAL COOKING
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 60º TO MAX
The heat is provided from the top and bottom elements. The oven must be preheated
before the food is placed inside. Static cooking provides optimum results with: cakes,
pizzas, bread and for gentle slow cooking of casseroles.
DELICATE COOKING
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 60º TO MAX
Ideal for pastries and cakes with wet covering and damp desserts in moulds. Excellent
results can also be achieved in cooking at the bottom.
TOP OVEN COOKING
THERMOSTAT SELECTOR SWITCH FROM 60º TO MAX
Ideal to use for browning food at the end of cooking.
