DOESN'T COMPLY WITH THE RULES OR INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
WARNING - This unit can be installed and can work only in well-ventilated
rooms.
In order for the gas cooker to work properly, it is necessary that sufficient air for gas
combustion can flow naturally into the room.
The air flow into the room must come directly through openings of external walls.
These openings must have a free passage of at least 100cm²(one or more openings can be
made).
These openings (or opening) should be realized in such a way not to be obstructed both
from inside and outside and preferably positioned near the floor, opposite the combustion
products discharge. In case these systems can't be realized in the room where the unit is

installed, the necessary air can come from a room nearby, provided that this room is not a
bedroom or a dangerous environment and it is ventilated as described above.
Combustion Products Discharge
Gas cooking units must discharge combustion products through hoods directly connected
to flues or outside. In case the hood can't be installed, it is recommended to use an electric
fan applied to the external wall or to the window of the room, with condition that
openings to let air flow in the room are realized.
This electric fan must be powerful enough to ensure in a kitchen an air replacement of 3 to
5 times its volume per hour.
WARNING - If the oven touches the side of other pieces of the kitchen
furniture, ensure they can withstand a temperature of 75℃.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before you connect the gas cooker, please check the voltage indicated on the rating plate
to ensure that it corresponds to the main power supply available. Appliance must be
connected with main supply outlet. The ground wires are easily recognized by its green
and yellow colour. Make sure that the "line" and "neutral" wires are installed into their
correct terminals. The installation must be carried out by an authorized technician only.
Before connecting to the electric supply, make sure that:
1. The protection fuse and the domestic wiring are suitable to carry the total electric
load of the cooker.
2. The electricity supply network (main) has an efficient earth connecting according
to the established rules and existing regulations.
3. The cooker wire is long enough to reach the socket from where your cooker is
situated.

USING COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
We recommend that before you cook in your new cooker, you heat the oven to 180℃for
2hrs. After the oven comma after the word cools wipe it out with hot water and a mild
detergent. We also recommend cleaning the racks and shelves before use.
When using the cooker for the first time you may notice the following……
•There may be a smell. This is quite normal when the cooker is first heated as
residual oil from production of parts will be burnt off quickly.
•There may be noises. This is also quite normal as new parts move and settle into
place during the initial heating process.
DURING USE
•This product is intended for the cooking of food and must not be used for other
purposes.
•Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on the burners or hot plates in
order to avoid accidents caused by spill over. Caution should be taken when
cooking with oil or fat.
•If the appliance is fitted with a cover, its function is to protect burners from dust
when closed and when open is to protect kitchen wall from splashes of grease.
•Do not use the lid for other purposes. Always clean the cover before closing.
•All the glass covers are removable to facilitate cleaning.
8

•Glass or Metal covers should not be closed when the cooker hob is operating.
Before closing the cover please make sure to take out the wok adaptor.
•Always ensure that the knobs are in the "O" Off or Stop position when the
appliance is not in use.
•Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill or when or cooking meat on
the grid. We recommend you pour a little water into the dripping pan to avoid
grease burning and creating unpleasant smell.
•Clean dripping pan regularly to ensure food, fat and grease do not build up and
create a fire hazard.
•Before maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the appliance and allow cooling
down. For hygiene and safety, this appliance must always be kept clean.
•Be careful when using cleaning products in spray form: never direct the spray
onto the electrical wiring, thermostat and bulb.
•When placing food in the oven, or when removing a large quantity of oil, juice,
etc., any spills onto the bottom of the oven must be cleaned before starting to
cook to avoid unpleasant smoke and also the possibility of these substances to
catch fire.
•Ensure that air can circulate around the gas appliance. Poor ventilation can result
to lack of oxygen and extinguish the flame.
•The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room
where it is installed.
•Ensure good ventilation of the room, keep adequate natural ventilation or install
an extractor hood with a discharge tube.
•In case of doubt ask installer for advice.
•Supply the appliance with the type of gas stamped on the relevant label situated
in the immediate vicinity of the gas connection tube.
•Ensure that the oven grids are inserted correctly.(See instruction as below.)
9

Correct Incorrect
•The appliance is heavy, move it carefully.
•To facilitate ignition, light the burners before placing pans on the grid. Check
that the flame is regular.
•Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing the pan.
•Ensure burner caps are installed correctly
10

USING THE GAS HOB BURNERS
Make sure that burners are always in position and located correctly.
Fish burner and griddle
Before using the fish burner, you need to install tray as shown in the figure below.
Control knobs on the gas burners
The knobs for the gas burners of the cooker are found on the control panel. The regulating
knobs should be turned in anti-clockwise direction until the small flame symbol, vice-
versa for the larger flame symbol.
11

No gas supply
Maximum gas supply
Minimum gas supply
Ignition Instruction
Push in the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to maximum, and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds.
The ignition will spark and ignite the burner. At this position the gas supply is at the
maximum and the flame also at its maximum.
You can reduce the flame size by turning the knob in anti-clockwise direction to achieve
your requirements.
Should the burner fail to light up, turn the knob to its original position and try again.
Your burner flame should be blue in colour.
NOTE -When first used, the gas burner will not ignite immediately.
Time is required for the LPG to fully fill the operating system.
For 90cm ovens with bottle compartment, this same symptom will also be present
when the gas cylinder has emptied and a new cylinder installed.
Air adjustment of the burner body
The mixing ratio of LPG and air is important to provide complete combustion of gas and
to obtain a blue flame. The adjustment and nozzle used for each individual burner body on
your cooker has been designed so as to achieve this requirement.
12

USING THE HOTPLATE
The hotplates are controlled by heating switch on the control panel.
By switching the control knob to any position from 1 and to 3, with 3 being the hottest,
the hotplate can be operated. Near each hob control knob, there is a small diagram that
shows which hotplate is controlled with that knob. On/off light on the control panel shows
if any of the hotplates are in use.
Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for four minutes at the highest
setting .This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.
WARNING
•Use only flat pans and with a sufficiently thick base.
•Never use a pan with a smaller diameter than of the hotplate.
•Ensure that the base of the pan is dry before placing it on the hotplate. While the
hotplate is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centered correctly
above the hotplate.
•Never operate the hob without pans on the hotplate.
•The temperature of accessible parts maybe high when the appliance is operating.
So it is imperative to keep children and animals out of the reach of the hotplate
during and after the operation.
•If you note a crack on the hotplate it must be immediately switched off and
replaced. Contact the nearest Service Center.
•Do not pour liquids onto the hotplate while hot
•Please switch off all hotplates when not in use.
13

HOTPLATES CARE
•Use only good quality flat bottomed pots and ensure that the pot diameter is
the same as or slightly larger than the plate diameter. This will prevent any
spillage from dripping onto the hotplate itself.
•Any spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
•A nylon brush may be used to clean the hotplate.
•Periodically wipe the plate with sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate
polish to prevent them from corroding.
•CLEANING Do not use a steam cleaner
•Do not leave hotplate wet after cleaning them, but switch them on briefly to dry
them.
NOTE: The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or
corroded hotplates. It is therefore the owner’s responsibility to care for them as
described above.
