Adapting the cooker to different types of gas  
In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with  
respect to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on  
the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:  
a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with  
that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.  
Important: the hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8, the  
hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always fit the  
sealing gasket.  
c) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:  
turn the tap to minimum;  
remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw, which  
is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is  
small but steady.  
N.B.: in the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw  
must be screwed in to the bottom.  
check that the flame does not turn off when you turn  
the tap quickly from high to low.  
b) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:  
d Regulating the primary air of the burners:  
remove the grids and slide the burners from their  
housings;  
The primary air of the burners requires no regulation.  
Important  
unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner,  
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas  
(see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).  
replace all the components by repeating the steps in  
reverse order.  
On completion of the operation, replace the old rating  
sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used.This  
sticker is available from our Service Centres.  
Note  
Should the pressure of the gas used be different (or vary)  
from the recommended pressure, it is necessary to fit a  
suitable pressure regulator onto the inlet pipe in  
compliance with current National Regulations relative to  
“regulators for channelled gas”.

The oven light turns on and so does the bottom heating  
element. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob,  
is reached automatically and kept constant. This setting  
is recommended for finishing the cooking of foods (placed  
in pans) that are well done on the outside but still not done  
inside or for desserts covered with fruit or jam which require  
a light browning on top. Note that this function does not  
permit reaching the maximum (250°C) temperature inside  
for cooking foods always on this oven setting unless the  
foods are cakes which only require temperatures below  
or equal to 180°C.  
Electronic Ignition for the Gas Hob  
Some of the models are provided with instant electronic lighting  
of the hob gas burners;these models are identified by the pres-  
ence of a lighting device (see detail J). This device operates  
when a slight pressure is applied to the “T” button marked with  
1 symbol. To light a specific burner just press the button la-  
belled “T” while pushing the corresponding knob all the way in  
and turning it counter-clockwise until it lights. For immediate  
lighting, first press the button and then turn the knob.  
Important: Should the burner flames accidentally go out,  
turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before  
trying to relight.  
3.The grill  
- Knob “L” setting: F  
- Knob “M” setting: Max  
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-  
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting  
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing  
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door  
and let the room air.The odour that is often detected dur-  
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances  
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-  
stalled.  
The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ray grill,  
and the motor starts turning the spit. The rather high and  
direct temperature of the grill permits browning the outside  
of meats immediately thus keeping in the juices and  
assuring tenderness.  
4.The double grill  
- Knob “L” setting: d  
- Knob “M” setting: Max  
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using  
the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of  
cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything  
on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because  
this could damage the enamel.Always place your cookware  
(dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with  
the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.  
The oven light turns on and so does the double heating  
element of the grill and the motor starts turning the spit.  
This grill is larger than the average and has a completely  
new design: cooking performance is increased 50%.The  
double grill makes sure that even the corners are touched  
by heat.  
Important: when utilizing the grill, place the rack at the  
lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat  
and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom  
rack level.  
The oven knobs  
With these two controls you can select the different  
functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu-  
re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different  
cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:  
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be  
left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between  
door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from  
overheating.

temperatures. (150°C-175°C). When red meat must be  
superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is  
advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C)  
for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point.  
Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the  
temperature and the longer the cooking time should  
be.Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-  
tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so  
that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below  
is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.  
Baking cakes  
The oven should always be warm before putting in cakes  
wait till the end of preheating (about 10-15 min.). Cake-  
baking temperatures are normally around 160°C/200°C.  
Do not open the oven door during the baking process as  
this could cause the cake to sink.In general:  
To grill  
Pastry is too dry  
When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended  
that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting,  
as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which  
utilizes infrared rays). If necessary, however, the  
thermostat can be set to lower temperatures for grilling.  
When using the grill functions, place the grid on the  
lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and  
grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and  
smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st  
oven rack from the bottom.  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
Pastry dropped  
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.  
Pastry is too dark on top  
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning  
Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from  
Replacing the oven lamp  
the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must  
be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:  
·
·
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;  
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;  
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to  
high temperatures (300°C) with the following  
characteristics::  
- Voltage 230V  
- Wattage 25W  
- Type E14  
· Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.  
· the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are  
washed with warm water without using any abrasive  
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin  
them;  
· the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often  
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,  
followed by careful rinsing and drying;  
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to  
the mains.  
· the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with  
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any  
scale;  
· Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into  
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents  
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time.After  
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It  
is also recommended to dry any water drops;  
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose  
and substitute it if there are any defects;we recommended  
changing it every year.  
Gas tap maintenance  
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to  
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.  
N.B.:This operation must be performed by a technician  
authorised by the manufacturer.  
Removing the lid  
The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning.To  
remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it  
upwards (see figure)
