Operation
Safety cut off
The cooker is equipped with a safety cut
off device which totally interrupts the
gas supply of the worktop, oven and grill
burners.
By lowering the worktop cover, the gas
supply is interrupted.
To restore gas supply, lift up the cover
and depress the black button placed on
the back left of the worktop.
Worktop burners
To light a worktop burner, turn the
relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum
(Fig. 1).
After opening the tap to maximum, push
button marked by a small electric spark.
As soon as the burner is lit, adjust the
flame as required.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it
is strongly recommended that you use
only pots and pans with a bottom fitting
the size of the burner used, so that the
flame will not spread beyond the bottom
of the vessel.
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid
starts boiling, to turn down the flame so
that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Fig. 1
Important
Be very careful when frying food in hot
oil or fat as the overheated splashes
could easily flare up.
Gas oven
The oven features a small dripping-pan
to collect the gravy when grilling (never
use it for baking), a baking tray, a
roasting pan to roast and grill food, and
two shelves.
Furthermore this oven fits a device
which makes the ignition of the burner
easier. The instructions are the following:
1. Open the oven door.
2. Firmly depress the oven control knob
(Fig. 2) and turn it anticlockwise to the
maximum setting and at the same time
operate on the relevant pushbutton
marked by a small electric spark. Keep
the oven control knob depressed for
10-15 secs.
3. Release the control knob and then
gently close the oven door.
To adjust the temperature, after a few
minutes turn the knob to the required
temperature setting.
Fig. 2

Gas grill
To light the grill, firmly depress the oven
control knob and turn it clockwise to the
symbol (J, then operate on the
pushbutton marked by a small spark.
Keep the control knob depressed for 10-15
secs; then release the grill control knob.
Oven safety device
The cooker features a thermocouple; if
for any reason the flame should
extinguish the device will interrupt the
gas flow.
Important: Oven and grill burner lighting
is possible only if the oven door is opened.
Oven light switch
This switch will turn on the oven light.
Using the grill
Foods to be grilled are to be placed on
the wire grid in the grill pan which can
be adjusted on the side grids either
upwards or downwards to give the
required distance from the burner.
The pan is then placed in the required
runner position.
Important: Because the grill is in the top
of the oven, the door must be closed
when grilling.

Analogue clock
By turning the knob A (Fig. 3) clockwise
or anticlockwise, the analogue clock will
show on dial B the required cooking time
(max. 180 mins).
When setting a cooking time a sound
signal will indicate that the cooking is
over.
To stop it turn knob A clockwise until
symbol «0» coincides with the index of
dial B.
By pulling and turning the knob A either
clockwise or anticlockwise you can reset
the clock to correct time (£i. upon
installation, following a power failure or
when the clock is fast or slow, etc.).

Using the rotisserie
The rotisserie can be used for either spit
roasting meat or for kebabs and smaller
pieces of meat. The accessories for either
are provided.
If you want to spit roast a large piece of
meat or poultry proceed as follows:
Firstly place one of the two prong forks
onto the spit and lock it into position
with the thumb nut. Then skewer the
meat or poultry onto the spit and secure
onto the fork.
Place the second fork onto the spit and
skewer it into the meat then lock it in
position with the thumb nut.
Place the spit onto the support frame
and ensure it turns freely and evenly.
If it does not, reposition the meat until it
does otherwise excessive wear to the
motor will result.
Place the frame and spit into the oven so
the spit engages fully into the motor in
the back of the oven and depress the
rotisserie switch.
Should you wish to use the kebab
attachments then proceed as follows:
Firstly place one of the support discs
with 4 elongated slots in it onto the spit
and secure it by locking the thumb nut
about 1% inches from the handle of the
spit.
Next place the disc with the 8 holes onto
the spit and secure it in position with
the thumb nut. The position of this disc
can be decided by judging the distance
required against the length of the
individual kebab skewers.
Next place the third disc on the skewer
positioning it at an equal distance from
the centre disc as the first one.
Lock it in position with the thumb nut.
Prepare the 8 individual kebab skewers
and putting the pointed end through one
of the holes on the centre disc.
Lock it in position by placing the other
end in an elongated slot in one of the
outer discs and turning it.
Repeat this operation for each of the 8
skewers.
Place the spit onto the frame and check
that it turns freely and evenly.
If it does not, reposition the weight of
the food until it does.
If this is not done excessive wear to the
motor will result.
Place the frame and spit into the oven so
that the spit engages fully into the motor
in the back of the oven.
Place a drip pan on a lower support.
Secure the heat deflector into its
position, close the oven door to the ajar
position and depress the rotisserie
switch.
