INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
WARNING - This unit can be installed and can work only in constantly
ventilated rooms, according to the national rules in force.
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 requested, from national rule
in force.
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 that the voltage indicated on the rating
plate to ensure that it corresponds to the mains power supply available. Appliance must be
connected with mains 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 electrician only.
Before connecting to the electric supply, make sure that:

6
1. The protection fuse and the domestic wiring are suitable to carry the total electric
load of the cooker.
2. The electricity supply network (mains) 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.
THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FORANY ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY NON OBSERVANCE OFSAFETY INSTRUCTION.

heating alternatives to suit a wide variety of dishes. The oven light stays lit in all selector
positions.
EKM9689X
Oven light
The oven light and general pilot light come on and will remain on as long as the oven is in
use.
Defrost
No heat is emitted. Uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan for easy
defrosting, reducing the time normally required by about 1/3.
Conventional Heat
Heat comes from two elements - top and bottom. Bake and roast on one level. Suitable for
cakes, muffins, pizzas, roasts and delicate egg dishes.
Hot Air
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan for faster heat-up and shorter cooking
times at lower temperatures. Evenly circulates the hot air around the oven cavity for even
cooking results. Ideal for baking or cooking on up to 3 levels.

15
Grill
This cooking mode is used for grilling small amounts of food such as steak, chops,
sausages and fish (low energy consumption). Heat comes from the top grill element which
directs radiant heat onto the food.
Fast Grill
Heat comes from 2 powerful top grill elements which direct radiant heat onto the food.
Used for grilling large quantities of food and cooks faster than the normal grill.
Turbo Grill
Heat comes from two powerful top grill elements and is spread evenly around the oven by
the fan, allowing for faster and more precise cooking results. Used for roasting larger
joints of meat or poultry on one level. Suitable for browning.
Bottom Heat with Fan
Heat comes from bottom elements, fan assists to evenly distribute the heat around the
oven, good for extra browning the bottom of pastries.
USING ELECTRIC GRILL
The electric grill is operated by the selector switch on the control panel that marked with
the grill symbol.
IMPORTANT -Before Grilling, hook the knob protection plate to the bottom of the
front control panel. (For fitment of knob protection plate see illustration on P10.)
When cooking with the electric grill, you are advised to leave the oven door half open and

For gas ovens the light is controlled by a push switch on the control panel.
For electric oven, this light continuously illuminates the oven when in use.
The light switch is on the function selector.
The light can be used while cooking or cleaning the oven.
USING MECHANICAL TIMER
Some models are fitted with a mechanical 60min timer.
To use the timer, turn the control knob clockwise to full setting first ( step1 ), then slowly
turn it backwards to the position of the time required ( step 2 ) . The timer will ring once
the pre-set indicated time is reached, however the oven will remain on.
USING TURNSPIT
First, insert the forked branch into the spindle of motor. Then take out the hook
according to the direction of the figure below. Next, put the turnspit in which it
has a slot hang on the hook. (While removing in reverse order.)
NOTE - If you don't turn the control
knob clockwise to full setting, the timer
will ring for a shorter period than
normal, and maybe rang faster than the
actual setting.

17
When you use the turnspit, you need to screw out the forks of the rotisserie spit,
and take out the insulating handle. Then put the food on the forked branch and
use the forks to clamp the food. After finished using the turnspit, please clear

TIPS FOR OVEN COOKING
For baking cakes:
Pre-heat the oven for at least 10minutes before use.
Do not open the oven door when baking. The jet of cold air will block the raising
block the raising process of some cakes, pastries and soufflés.
To check if your cake is baked, insert a toothpick into the mixture; if it comes out
clean, the cake is ready. Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has passed
before doing this check.
As a general rule remember that:
A dish which is well - cooked on the outside but not sufficiently cooked inside would
have required a lower temperature and longer cooking time.
On the contrary, a "dry" texture would have required a shorter time and higher cooking
temperature.
For cooking meat:
Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kilogram to avoid
becoming too dry. If you want to roasts with a good colour, use very little oil.
If the piece of meat is lean, use oil or butter or a little of both.
Butter or oil on the other hand unnecessary if the piece as a strip of fat. If the
piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in the oven with this side upwards:
When melting the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently.
Red meat should be removed from the fridge one hour before cooking otherwise
the sudden change of temperature could cause it to become tough. A roast,
especially for red meat, must not be salted at the beginning of cooking as salt
causes juices and blood to seep out of the meat, thus preventing the formation of
a well - browned crust. If is advisable to salt the outside of the meat after just
over half the cooking time.
Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim; a deep dish shields heat.
Meat can be placed on an oven proof dish or directly on the grill, under which the
dripping pan will be inserted to collect juice. Ingredients for gravy should only
be put in the dish immediately if cooking time is brief, otherwise they should be
added during the last half hour. Begin cooking raw meat at a high temperature,
reducing the temperature to finish cooking the inside. The cooking temperature
for white meat can be mode-rate throughout.
The degree of cooking can be checked by pressing the meat with a fork, if it
penetrates easily then it is cooked. At the end of cooking it is advisable to wait at
least 15 minutes before cutting the meat in order that the juices are not lost.
Before serving, plates can be kept warm in the oven at minimum temperature.

19
For cooking fish:
Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperature. Cook medium-sized
fish initially at a high temperature and then gradually lower the temperature.
Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start to finish.
To check that baked fish is cooked by gently lifting one side of the gut; the meat
must be white and opaque throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout or
similar.
For Grilling:
The following types of meat are suitable for grilling. Mostly meat or offal cut in
slices or pieces of various sizes, but not very thick, poultry cut in half and
flattened, fish, some vegetables (e.g Courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes,etc.),
skewers of meat or fish and seafood. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly
brushed with oil and always placed on the grill; meat should be salted upon
completion of cooking; whereas fish should be salted into before cooking. The
grill should be positioned in the guides nearest or furthest from the grill element
according to the thickness of the meat, In order to avoid burning the surface and
having the inside insufficiently cooked.
The formation of smoke caused by drops of juice and fat can be avoided by
pouring 1or2 glasses of water into the dripping pan.
The grill can also be used to brown, toast bread and grill certain types of fruit,
such as bananas, halved grapefruit , slices of pineapple, apple, etc. Fruit should
not be placed too near the source of heat.
The "TIPS FOR OVEN COOKING" relating to cooking in the oven and by grill is
provided as a guide. Experience will show possible variations to the values set out in
the table.
NOTE –If in doubt, always carefully follow the indications given in the in the recipes
you intend to follow.
Do not place any utensils such as dripping pan, cake tins, casseroles, pyrex
dishes, aluminium foil or others on the base of the oven when the oven is in use.
Accumulation of heat might affect the cooking results and also damage the oven
enamel.
