Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
sed, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions and also close the cock
valve on the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.
GAS BURNERS
Gas ow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in g. 3.1)
which control the safety valves.
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line
points to the symbols printed on the control
panel, achieves the following functions:
- symbol closed valve
- symbol maximum
aperture or ow
- symbol minimum
aperture or ow
√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.
√ To reduce the gas ow to minimum
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small
ame symbol.
√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.

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 capacity
used.
As an indication, the burners and the pots
must be used in the following way:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY
BE USED ON THE BURNERS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxliliary 12 cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
do not use pans with concave or
convex bases
Fig. 3.4
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 shorter amount of
time since the capacity of heat absorption
of a liquid mass depends on the volume
and the surface of the pot.
Fig. 3.3
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and
t
urn counter-clockwise (g. 3.2 ) to the
full ame position marked by the
symbol (g. 3.1).
2. Press the ignition button marked by
the symbol (g. 3.3).
The sparks produced by the electrodes
situated next to the burner will light the
selected burner.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
3. Adjust the gas to the desired position.
To turn it off, turn the knob towards the
right, up to the safety click.
If your local gas supply makes it difcult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

The glass on the oven door reaches
high temperatures during operation.
Keep children away.
Models with glass lid: The cooker lid
must be kept open when the gas oven/
grill is in use.
GENERAL FEATURES
The oven is furnished completely clean; it
is advisable however, upon rst use, to turn
the oven on to the maximum temperature
(position 10) to eliminate possible traces of
grease from the oven burner.
The same operation should be followed for
grill burner.
The gas oven is provided with two burners:
• One gas burner (wattage: 6,20 kW),
located at the bottom, providing safety
device and electric ignition.
• One gas grill (wattage: 4,65 kW),
placed on the top, providing safety
device and electric ignition.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven. THERMOSTAT GRADE TABLE

OVEN BURNER
It carries out normal “oven cooking”.
The gas ow to the burner is regulated by
a thermostat which allow to maintain the
oven temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is assured
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 1to 10 printed on the control
panel (g. 4.1) indicate the increasing oven
temperature value (see table 4.2).
The temperature is kept constant on the
regulated value.
To regulate the temperature, make the
indicator of the knob (g. 4.1) match with
the chosen number on the control panel.
The thermostat which regulates the ow
of gas to the oven burner has a safety
valve which automatically shuts off the gas
supply when the ame goes out.

may cause injury.
ENAMELLED PARTS
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned
with a sponge and soapy water or other
non-abrasive products.
Dry preferably with a microbre or 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
surface.
Attention! The appliance gets very hot, mainly around the cooking areas. It is very
important that children are not left alone in the kitchen when you are cooking.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus
make it unsafe.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass or the glass lid (models with glass lid only) since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

19
GAS TAPS
Periodic lubrication of the gas taps must be
carried out by specialist personnel only.
In the event of operating faults in the gas
taps, call the Service Department.
INSIDE OF OVEN
The oven should always be cleaned after
use when it has cooled down.
The cavity should be cleaned using a
mild detergent solution and warm water.
Suitable proprietary chemical cleaners
may be used after rst consulting with
the manufacturers recommendations and
testing a small sample of the oven cavity.
Abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads/
cloths should not be used on the cavity
surface.
NOTE: The manufacturers of this appliance
will accept no responsibility for damage
caused by chemical or abrasive cleaning.
Let the oven cool down and pay special
attention no to touch the hot heating
elements inside the oven cavity.
Do not store ammable material in the
oven.
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
WARNING: Ensure the appliance is
switched off before replacing the lamp
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• Let the oven cavity and the heating
elements to cool down.
• Switch off the electrical supply.
• Remove the protective cover.
• Unscrew and replace the bulb
with a new one suitable for high
temperatures (300°C) having the
following specications: 230V or 220-
240V, E14 and same power (check
watt power as stamped in the bulb
itself) of the replaced bulb
• Ret the protective cover.
Note: Oven bulb replacement is not
covered by your guarantee.
BURNERS AND PAN SUPPORTS
These parts can be removed and cleaned
with appropriate products.
After cleaning, the burners and their ame
spreaders must be well dried and correctly
replaced.
It is very important to check that the burner
ame spreader and the cap have been
correctly positioned. Failure to do so can
cause serious problems.
Check that the electrode “S” next to each
burner (gs. 6.2, 6.4) is always clean to
ensure trouble-free sparking.
The ignition plug “S” must be very
carefully cleaned.
Note: To avoid damage to the electric
ignition do not use it when the burners
are not in place.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF
THE AUXILIARY, SEMI-RAPID AND
RAPID BURNERS
It is very important to check that the burner
ame distributor “F” and the cap “C” has
been correctly positioned (see gs. 6.2,
6.3) - failure to do so can cause serious
problems.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE
TRIPLE RING BURNER
The triple ring burner must be correctly
positioned (see g. 6.6); the burner rib
must be enter in their logement as shown
by the arrows (see g. 6.4).
The burner correctly positioned must not
rotate (g. 6.5).
Then position the cap “A” and the ring “B”
(gs. 6.5, 6.6).
