WARNING
This appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with the current
regulations in the country where the appliance is installed and must only be used in a well
ventilated area. Read the instructions before installing and using this appliance.
Appliance categories (see pt. 7, page 16 ”Height adjustment and Positioning the Cooker”):
- Class 1: Free-standing cooking appliance not normally in direct contact with the kitchen units or
the surrounding walls.
- Class 2: Cooking appliance that can be integrated between two kitchen units, whose walls can be
in direct contact with the surrounding units. This type of appliance can be in contact with only
one kitchen unit during installation.
- Class 2 / Sub-Class 1: Class 2 appliance that can be free-standing or installed so that the side
panels are accessible.
Before installing the appliance, make sure that the local gas supply conditions
(gas type and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
The adjustment conditions for this appliance are indicated on the label at the
back of the cooktop and on the test certificate.
This appliance is not intended to be connected to a ventilation system or a ventilation shaft for
combustion products. It should be installed and connected in accordance with the current
regulations, and special attention should be paid to the applicable ventilation regulations.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room
where it is installed. Make sure that the room is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation
holes open and install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, e.g. by opening a
window, or for more effective ventilation, by increasing the power of the mechanical ventilation
system installed.
When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour.
This should stop after use.
The parts that are protected by the manufacturer must not be manipulated by the installer or the
user.
Please note:
The accessible parts may be hot when the oven is being used: keep young children
at a safe distance.
DO NOT leave children alone. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.

If you smell gas:
uDo not turn electric switches on or off.
uDo not smoke.
uDo not use naked flames.
uDo turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder.
uDo open doors and windows to get rid of the gas.
uCall your gas supplier.
The cooker should be serviced by a qualified service engineer and only approved spare parts
used. Have the installer show you the location of the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy
reference.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch off at the mains before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking. Take care when touching the cooker, to minimize the possibility of burns, always be
certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool before attempting to clean the
cooker.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful
to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
DO NOT use a steam cleaner to clean the cooker.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while it is on.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this
appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry
pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when
food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating
or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can
cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes,
drying tea towels or softening butter.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but
the control knobs may become overheated.

When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary.
Before using the cooker make sure all the packing materials have been removed.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from an oven vent may ignite
flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable.
Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
Several types of plastic are combustible, and most of them can be damaged by heat. Remove any
objects made from paper, plastic or fabrics (such as cooking books, plastic cooking utensils, towels,
etc.) as well as flammable liquids from any parts of the cooker liable to get hot.
Preferably, there should be no cupboards or shelving above the appliance. In the event of cup-
boards/shelving being above the appliance, make sure that they hold objects seldom used, which
can be safely kept in a place exposed to the heat generated by the appliance.
NEVER COVER the slits, vents or holes in the bottom part of the appliance, and never cover the
grills with products such as aluminium foil; doing so would prevent air circulation inside the oven
and the aluminium foil could cause heat to build up leading to a risk of fire.
DO NOT use the oven for storage.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near the cooktop burners. This includes
paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids.
NEVER TOUCH THE BURNER or the surfaces around the burner.
Note also that the burner can remain hot for a certain time even after it has been turned off.
Surfaces located around the gas burner can become sufficiently hot to cause burns.
DO NOT touch the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven.
Oven heating elements may be hot though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces of an oven
may become hot enough to cause burns.
Likewise, make sure that there is no contact between clothing and other flammable products and
heating elements or internal surfaces.
Wear appropriate clothing.
Do not use loose-fitting clothing (sleeves, etc.) when operating the appliance.
If there are shelves or cupboards above the appliance, be careful when reaching for products they
might contain.

lations shall void the warranty. Moreover, no legal actions can be undertaken in relation to incor-
rect installations.
1.1. Ventilation
Special care should be taken to respect the regulation in force regarding ventilation.
All requirements and regulations in force regarding the ventilation of rooms where
gas appliances are installed should be respected.
It is essential that the room where the ”La Cornue” cooker will be installed has excellent
ventilation, i.e. to the outside for vapour and burnt gases and a fresh air inlet.
Do not use an air recycling system.
A flow rate of at least 4 cubic metres per hour of fresh air per kW of gas heat power is necessary
to ensure the supply of combustion air.
You should take into account all appliances using gas installed in the room; additional ventilation
may be necessary.
1. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE DELIVERY

12 Installation and User Guide GB “CornuFé 1908”
08NOTINSTALFE8/GB-1
Electrical Supply BEFORE DELIVERY
The gas regulations also require high and low ventilation to be installed in the room where a gas
appliance is to be installed.
Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation holes open or install a
powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on, or use the cooker for a
long time, open a window, or turn on an extractor fan.
Recommended power:
- 700 cubic metres per hour or 10 – 15 times the volume of the air in the room each hour.
”La Cornue” offers models of customized hoods in materials matching your cooker or extractors
that can be integrated into a hood manufactured by the user.
The ventilation hood has to be built with non combustible materials.
For optimum efficiency, the fresh air inlet for renewing the air extracted by the hood must be
located within a 2 – 3 m. radius, at ground level.
1.2. Installation
As the oven and the cooktop are particularly well insulated, the appliance can be built-in without
any need for any special precautions with regard to the surroundings. However, if the cooker
is installed against a wall, the hottest parts (the strip between 60 and 95 cm from
the floor, and the surface between the cooktop and the extractor hood ) must be
protected with a stainless steel plate or ceramic tiles. La Cornue offers you a wide
choice of stainless steel plates adapted to the size of your stove
Tension: 220 - 240 V a.c., single-phase + neutral + ground; 50 - 60 Hz
Nominal cable section: 1,5 mm2
Power: 2575 W; Intensity: 11 A
Safety:
The electrical supply must be grounded and must be equipped with a circuit
breaker protection compatible with the appliance’s power rating.
In high-risk regions, additional protection against natural electrical phenomena (lightning) must
be used.
A disconnection system must be provided in accordance with standard regulations.
It is advisable to check whether the power rating of your electrical installation provides you with
sufficient power for your model, taking into account any electrical appliances you have already
installed. Refer to chapter 4 page 10 ”Power Ratings” for the total power and current ratings.
The overall power of your appliance is also indicated on the rating plate and on the warranty
certificate (See pt. 5, page 10 for the location of the plate).
2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

BEFORE DELIVERY Gas supply
Due to the power of La Cornue appliances, a simple plug and socket connection is not
recommended.
The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply as stated on the voltage label on the
cooker, through a suitable cooker control unit, incorporating a double-pole switch, having a
contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles.
The gas installation must comply with the current regulations in the country
where the appliance will be installed.
Reminder of the main obligations with regard to gas installations:
The gas must be supplied via a rigid metallic pipe, terminated by an easily accessible manual
shutoff valve.
This valve must be positioned, taking into account that the gas inlet on the appliance is situated
on the left of the cooker.
See the chapter 2 page 17 ”Gas connection” for details about the connections.
When your cooker is built-in between two kitchen units, the shut-off valve must be accessible
through an appropriate cut-out in the back of the kitchen unit.
It is forbidden to use flexible rubber hoses with a collar fastening to supply gas to gas appliances.
When all of the work has been carried out on your gas supply network, perform a functional test
before connecting the appliance; this will ensure that no metallic burrs can enter the appliance’s
gas supply pipe and thus obstruct the burners or the gas taps.
Also, perform mechanical resistance and sealing tests in accordance with the applicable standards.

Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is directly in front of the place it is to be installed
(unless it will not fit through a door in its outer packaging).
The following instructions are to be followed by qualified personnel, trained to
handle extremely heavy loads. Usually, a single-oven cooker can be lifted by two
people.
1. In order to lighten the cooker, remove and set aside the drawer, the backsplash, the handrail,
the oven accessories, the pan supports and any other accessories.
2. Remove oven doors by engaging the latches on the hinges and by pulling the door back and up.
3. Create a harness with four Installer’s straps.
4. Twist the harness and tilt the cooker to place the harness.
5. When lifting up stairs, the straps of the handlers at the bottom should be shorter so the
cooker stays level.
The back of the cooker should always face the inside of the ramp.
Removing the Oven Door
To remove the door, open the door fully. Swivel the locking
‘U’ clips forward to the locking position (Fig. 1). To remove
the oven door, grip the sides of the door, lift upwards and

16 Installation and User Guide GB “CornuFé 1908”
08NOTINSTALFE8/GB-1
In order to make sure that the cooktop is perfectly horizontal, especially on old flooring, we advise
you to install your cooker on a wooden or cement base, the height of which will allow you to bring
the cooktop to a level in accordance with its environment or your own requirements.
If the appliance is on a base, allnecessary action shall be taking for the appliance
not to fall.
Each cooker is equipped with adjustable feet that allow you to compensate for differences in the
floor level.
Remove the drawers, set the cooker in place, screw up the legs so the cooker rests on the outside
legs and adjust the height.
The diagrams show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces (Fig.
7 and Fig. 8).
Above cooktop level a gap of 75 mm should be left between each side of the cooker and any adja-
cent vertical surface. For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles) this
can be reduced to 25 mm.
Adjacent work surfaces should be level with or below the cooktop surround (not the pan supports).
We recommend a gap of 905 mm between units to allow for moving the cooker.
If a flush fit is required, fit the cooker up to the unit at one side then fit the unit the other side.
Do not box the cooker in; it must still be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and
servicing.
A minimum space of 800 mm is required between the top of the cooker and a horizontal com-
bustible surface.
Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the cooker.

”CornuFé 1908” appliance is supplied with 1 flexible cord, consisting of 3 wires (220 - 240 V),
1,5 mm2 section, approximately 1,5 m long, ready to be connected to a single-phase power supply.
If the wire is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sale
service or qualified persons in order to avoid hazards.
All of the electricity supply circuits must be disconnected before accessing the
connection terminal boxes.
REMINDER: the appliance should be connected to the main power supply via terminal blocks
and not by means of simple plugs.
Insert the cable below the hot air outlets at the back of the oven, never in front of them.
Your ”CornuFé 1908” appliance is supplied with injectors corresponding to the type of gas supply
specified in your order (natural gas, butane or propane). These injectors should only be changed
if a different type of gas is used.
However, it may be necessary to adjust or change the ”by-pass” screw, venturi or burner ring.
See page 20 for the table summarizing the injectors to be used for each type of gas and the country
of installation. See also the injector replacement instructions ”Conversion to another gas” sent on
request with the injectors.
If no particular instructions are specified in the order, the appliance is
equipped with injectors for natural gas G20, pressure 20 mbar.
The type of gas for which the appliance is equipped is indicated on a label at
the back of the cooktop, close to the gas supply pipe and on the test
certificate supplied with the appliance.
The gas connection must be done in keeping with the installation rules in force in
the country where the appliance is to be used.
Connection to the previously installed shut-off valve must be made using a flexible hose with scre-
wable connectors, approved.
The characteristics of this hose must be tailored to the nature and distribution mode of the gas
used, as well as to the diameter of the connection used.
The hose must not pass behind, in front of or close to a hot air outlet. It must be positioned so as
not to be reachable by flames. It must not be crushed or kinked, and must be put down so as to
avoid all pulling stress.

The hose must be firmly attached at both ends, and it must be possible to inspect the complete
hose length.
Moreover, the hose should be replaced by the user whenever required and, in all cases, before the
maximum use date given on the hose.
Recommended use: metallic flexible hose (stainless steel surrounded by metallic
braids) with screwable connectors, without any lifetime end date.
Regardless of the gas used, it is forbidden to connect our gas appliances with flexible hoses moun-
ted on rubber tail pieces.
The appliance is delivered with a threaded cou-
pling. The cylindrical external threading has a gas
thread of ”G ½ A”, in accordance with the EN ISO
228-1:2003 standard. This type of connection is
used in France and some European countries.
If you use an ”R ½” external conic coupling in
accordance with the EN 10226-1:2004 and EN
10226-2:2005 standards or an ”Rp ½” internal cylin-
drical coupling as per the EN 10226-1:2004 stan-
dard, then unscrew the adapter on the appliance
and either turn it around, or connect your hose
directly to the end of the tubing.
Screw the gas hose at the end of the appliance
tubing, tightening it only by hand. Place two appro-
priate tools (one on the tubing to keep it from moving, and the other on the hose coupling) and
tighten the coupling on the hose.
Assemble the hose so that the hose is left hanging in a ”U” form.
When the connection is terminated, perform a pressure test to check the sealing of the appliance.
When checking the sealing, make sure not to use washing-up liquid, which could damage the
appliance; instead, use a foam liquid specially intended to detect leaks.
Sealing must be ensured by tightening 2 sealing surfaces beyond the threading with an appro-
priate sealing joint between them. To ensure the correct level of sealing along the threading, a sea-
ling compound or joining compound should be applied to the threading.
If a sealing compound has to be used, we recommend LOCTITE 542.
For appliances operating with BUTANE / PROPANE gas, use two cylinders with an automatic
reversing switch or an outdoor tank, and a standard pressure regulator adapted to the total flow
rate for your model and the gas pressure.
We advise you to use a pressure reducing valve with a minimum of 2 kg/hour.
As a general rule, an additional safety margin corresponding to 20 – 30% of the appliance’s maxi-
mum flow rate must be respected.
To guarantee constant pressure from the gas supply, the pressure regulator should not be placed
more than 2 m from the appliance.
Each appliance must have its own pressure regulator.
