Installation
!Before placing your new appliance into operation please
read these operating instructions carefully. It contains
important information concerning the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
!Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept with the
appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
! The appliance must be installed by a qualied professional
in accordance with the instructions provided.
!Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected from
the electricity supply.
The cookers have the following technical specications:
Category: II 2H3+
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently-
ventilated rooms, according to current national legislation.
The room in which the appliance is installed must be
ventilated adequately in order to provide as much air as is
needed by the normal gas combustion process (the ow of
air must not be lower than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power).
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct
with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm2and should
be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial
obstruction (see gure A).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a minimum
of 200 cm2- whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped
with a ame failure safety device. When the ow of air is
provided in an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see
gure B), provided that these are not communal parts of a
building, areas with increased re hazards or bedrooms, the
inlets should be tted with a ventilation duct leading outside
as described above.

!After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open
a window or increase the speed of any fans used.
Disposing of combustion fumes
The efcient disposal of combustion fumes should be
guaranteed using a hood which is connected to a safe
and efcient natural suction chimney, or using an electric
fan which begins to operate automatically every time the
appliance is switched on (see gure).
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
Directly to
the Outside
! The liqueed petroleum gases are heavier than air and
collect by the oor, therefore all rooms containing LPG
cylinders must have openings leading outside so that any
leaked gas can escape easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full,
must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas which
are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being
used should be stored in the room; this should also be kept well
away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) which
may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
!The appliance may be installed alongside any cupboards
whose height does not exceed that of the hob surface.
!Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the
appliance is made from a non-ammable, heat-resistant
material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the studio at
(not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the
appliance must be installed at least 500 mm away from them.

Electrical connection
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The appliance is designed to work with alternating current
at the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating
plate (situated on the rear part of the appliance and on the
last page of the instruction booklet) or at the end of the
instruction booklet. Make sure that the local supply voltage
corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate.
To connect directly to the mains supply, a double-pole switch
with a contact separation of at least 3 mm suitable for the
load and complying with current standards and regulations,
must be tted between the appliance and the mains supply
outlet. The yellow-green earth wire must not be interrupted
by the switch. The supply cable must be in such a position
that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50 °C above
room temperature. Do not use adapters or shunts as they
could cause heating or burning.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
• the limiter valve and the domestic system can withstand
the load from the appliance (see rating plate);
• the supply system is efciently earthed according to
standards and laws in force;
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible
when the appliance is installed.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION
REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF
ALL LIABILITY.
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E”
or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or
coloured Red.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or

carried out using a exible rubber or steel hose, in accordance
with current national legislation and after making sure that the
appliance is suited to the type of gas with which it will be supplied
(see the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case see
below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure
regulator which complies with current national regulations.
!Make sure that the gas supply pressure is consistent
with the values indicated in the Table of burner and nozzle
specifications (see below). This will ensure the safe
operation and durability of your appliance while maintaining
efcient energy consumption.
Gas connection using a exible rubber hose
Make sure that the hose complies with current national
legislation. The internal diameter of the hose must measure:
8 mm for a liquid gas supply;
13 mm for a methane gas supply.
Once the connection has been performed, make sure that
the hose:
• Does not come into contact with any parts which reach
temperatures of over 50°C.
• Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and that it
is not kinked or bent.
• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp corners
or moving parts and that it is not compressed.
• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that its
condition may be checked.
• Is shorter than 1500 mm.
• Fits rmly into place at both ends, where it will be xed
using clamps which comply with current regulations.
!Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
!The cable must not be bent or compressed.
!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
!The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
! If one or more of these conditions is not fullled or if the
cooker must be installed according to the conditions listed
for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances (installed between two
cupboards), the exible steel hose must be used instead
(see below).

the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is a
cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).
!Perform the connection in such a way that the hose length
does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres, making sure that
the hose is not compressed and does not come into contact
with moving parts.
Checking the connection for leaks
When the installation process is complete, check the hose
ttings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a ame.
Adapting to different types of gas
It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other
than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label
on the cover).
Adapting the hob
Replacing the nozzles for the hob
burners:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide
the burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7
mm socket spanner (see gure),
and replace them with nozzles
suited to the new type of gas (see
Burner and nozzle specications
table).
3. Replace all the components by following the above
instructions in reverse.
Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:
1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory screw, which
is positioned inside or next to the tap pin, until the ame is
small but steady.
!If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the
regulatory screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.
3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position of
the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several
times, checking that the ame is not extinguished.
!The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
!After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a
different type of gas, replace the old rating label with a
new one which corresponds to the new type of gas (these
labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance
Centres).
!Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly)
from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure
regulator must be tted to the inlet hose in accordance
with current national regulations relating to “regulators for
channelled gas”.
Safety Chain
!In order to prevent the appliance from overturning
accidentally, for example in case of a child climbing
onto the oven door, the safety chains MUST be installed!
The cooker is provided with safety chains that must be
xed with a screw (not supplied as accessory) on the wall
behind the appliance, at the same height as the xing point
on the appliance.
Make sure that the chains are xed in the back of the

Start-up and use
Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing
the strength of the ame for the relevant burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a ame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction so that it is pointing to the maximum ame setting .
3. Adjust the intensity of the ame to the desired level by
turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction.
This may be the minimum setting , the maximum setting
or any position in between the two.
The appliance is fitted with an
electronic lighting device (see
gure), press the BURNER knob
and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the minimum
ame setting, until the burner is lit.
The burner might be extinguished
when the knob is released. If this
occurs, repeat the process, holding
the knob down for a longer period of time.
! If the ame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner
and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
The appliance is equipped with a ame failure safety device,
press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 6
seconds to keep the ame alight and to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the
stop position ●.
Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efcient way possible and
to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended
that only pans which have a lid and a at base are used.
They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

The hob is tted with a reducing pan stand (shown gure)
which should only be used on the auxiliary burner ‘A’.
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following
in mind: All types of pans can be used on the burners. The
important thing is that the bottom should be completely even.
Using the oven
WARNING ! The oven is
provided with a stop system
to extract the racks and
prevent them from coming
out of the oven (1).
As shown in the drawing,
to extract them completely,
simply lift the racks, holding
them on the front part, and
pull (2).
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic lm from
the sides of the appliance.
! The rst time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for
at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated
before switching the oven off and opening the oven door.
The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused
by protective substances used during the manufacturing
process burning away.
In order to cool down the temperature of their exterior, some
models are tted with a cooling fan that comes on when the
programme selector knob is turned. In this case, the fan
is always on and a normal ow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: when cooking is done, the fan stays on, even if knob
is set to “0”, until the oven has cooled down sufciently.
In “Fast cooking” mode, the fan comes on automatically
only when the oven is hot.
Once you have removed the food from the oven, we
recommend you leave the oven door ajar for a few minutes:
this will drastically reduce the duration of the cooling cycle.
The process is controlled by an additional thermostat and
can consist of one or more cycles.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob .
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode
or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT
knob .
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking
temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven
cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:
• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR
knob .
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT
knob .
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
!Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It
switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected
temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches
off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and
is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
OPERATION indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
Cooking modes for Multi-function
main oven (1 rst Oven)
! The rst time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for
at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated
before switching the oven off and opening the oven door.
The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused
by protective substances used during the manufacturing
process burning away.
!A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 50°C and Max, except for the following modes
• MAXI-GRILL / MINI-GRILL (recommended: set only to
MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the
oven is operating.
By selecting with the knob, the light is switched on
without any of the heating elements being activated.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on.
When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use
one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the
heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on,
thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and
uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is
ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods
(such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of
pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.
PIZZA mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the
bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated.
This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a
considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element
at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time,
switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking
process.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch
on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains
constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns
food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be
used at the same time.
MINI-GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is switched on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended
for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and
beef steaks, llet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode
uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small
dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not
be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.
MAXI-GRILL mode
All the top heating element are activated .
GRATIN mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. This
combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating
elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the
oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface
and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.
!The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
Practical cooking advice
!Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more
heat on the rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
GRILL
• When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in
position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect
cooking residues (fat and/or grease). When using the
GRATIN cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and
the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues.

• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum.
The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat
and may not always operate constantly.
PIZZA MODE
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it
prevents the crust from forming by extending the total
cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway
through the cooking process.
Cooking modes for Conventional
main oven (2nd oven)

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the
oven is operating. By selecting with the knob, the light
is switched on without any of the heating elements being
activated.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on.
When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use
one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the
heat will be distributed in an uneven manner.
PASTRY Mode
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise because the heat coming
from the bottom helps the leavening process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time
for the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore we
recommend you use the “Convection Mode” in these cases.
MINI GRILL
The top central heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is
also highly recommended for dishes that require a high
temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
lets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph.
MAXI GRILL
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Practical cooking advice
GRILL
• When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in
position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect
cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum.
The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat
and may not always operate constantly.
! The GRILL cooking mode must be performed with the
oven door shut.
