The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi  
registered installer. During installation of this product it is  
essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from  
the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent removal  
or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains  
or liquid gas must be carried out according to the prescribed  
regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is  
adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the  
instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation  
to different gas types”. In the case of connection to liquid  
gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that conform to the

with the burners on. Always turn off the gas and allow the  
burners to cool before closing the cover. Failure to follow  
these instructions may cause the glass cover to shatter.  
Keep the cover open when using the oven.  
D
Attention: before using the oven and grill for the first time,  
turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make  
sure that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the  
door open, and the room properly ventilated. The odor  
which can be detected at times is due to the evaporation  
off the substances used to protect the oven and the grill  
during the period between the time of production and  
installation of the appliance.  
Oven Light  
The light comes on when the "M" knob is turned to the  
setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains  
on when any of the heating elements is turned on.  
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.  
Thermostat Light (I)  
This light indicates that the oven is heating.When it turns  
off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set-  
ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light  
will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature  
at a constant level.  
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the  
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control  
Cooking Control Timer Knob  
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control  
when the oven shuts off during cooking.To use this feature,  
you must wind the "P" knob one full turn in the counter-  
panel with the  
symbol on the timer knob.  
Using the oven  
When the oven control knob (M) is turned in a clockwise  
clockwise direction ;Then, turn the knob in the clockwise  
direction , to set the time by matching up the indicator  
on the control panel with the number of minutes on the  
knob.  
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will  
sound and automatically turn off the oven.  
direction to the symbol the fan and oven light will  
come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food.Rotating  
further to the complete range of temperatures shown on  
the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the  
food you are going to cook. The temperature is reached  
automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from  
50°C to 240°C).  
Note:Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking knob  
(O) must be set with “MAXin line with the reference mark  
on the control panel.  
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the  
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control  
panel with the  
symbol on the timer knob.  
When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can  
be used like a normal timer.  
Practical advice for burner use  
In order to get the maximum yield it is important to  
remember the following:  
Grill  
The top centre heating element will come on and the  
rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. On this  
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off  
in the downward direction by the electric heating element.  
The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill  
make it possible to brown meats on the surface while  
locking in the juices to keep them tender.  
·
Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table)  
so as to avoid flames overshooting the edges.  
At boiling point turn the knob to minimum.  
Use cookware with lids.  
·
·
·
Always use cookware with flat bottoms.

This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which  
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by  
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in  
the corners of the oven.  
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.

Cooking advice  
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan should be  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside  
used at a time. The rack or pan should be inserted into  
the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food  
needs more heat from the top or bottom.  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the  
cooking time.  
Preheating  
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required  
for leavened foods), we recommend using the  
"conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to  
reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After  
the oven has been preheated, the red indicator light (I)  
will turn off. At this point, you can select the most suitable  
setting to cook the dish.  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour.

that should be well done on the outside while tender and  
juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high  
Using the Grill  
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating  
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The  
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected  
by turning the oven control knob (M) in a clockwise  
temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then  
turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the  
roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat  
on the centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it  
to catch the fat.  
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre  
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of  
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory  
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat  
with lard or bacon on the top.  
direction to align the symbols (  
for the centre,  
for the complete area) with the mark on the control panel.  
The variable temperature control (O) is positioned to right  
of the oven knob. This knob will provide varying grill  
temperatures when rotated from “max” to “min” and may  
be adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the  
grilling operation.  
To operate the grill  
Cooking Pastries  
1. Turn the oven control knob (M) clockwise until the  
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the  
control panel. The element is now “on”.  
2. The variable grill control (O) can now be operated to  
select the required heat.  
Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not  
open the door in order to prevent the pastry from dropping.  
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the  
cooking time is not excessive. In general:  
Pastry is too dry  
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels  
(see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent  
smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom rack level.  
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.

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  
· 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;  
· the flame spreaders should be washed frequently with  
hot water and detergent taking care to eliminate any  
scale;  
· in cookers equipped with automatic lighting, the  
terminal part of the electronic instant lighting devices  
should be cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes  
of the flame spreaders should be checked to make  
sure they are free of any obstructions;  
· 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;  
On models with glass covers, the covers should be  
cleaned with hot water; the use of rough cloths or  
abrasives is to be avoided.  
N.B: avoid closing the cover while the gas burners are  
still warm.  
Important: periodically check the wear of the gas hose  
and substitute it if there are any defects;we recommended  
changing it every year.  
·
Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to  
the mains.  
Greasing the taps  
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to  
turn. If so, they must be cleaned internally and the grease  
replaced.  
N.B: This operation must be carried by a technician  
authorised by the manufacturer.
