Technical information for the installer

•

It is important that all installation procedures be performed by a qualified technician.

•

After unpacking the oven to connect it, rest it on its base without damaging it.

•

Do not attempt to lift the oven by the handle. Lift at the sides.

•

Do not lift the oven by the gas connection.

•

Check that the appliance has not been damaged in transit.

•

Oven and kitchen unit dimensions are shown in the figure at the foot of the page.

•

Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant (100° C min).

•

House the oven in the unit cavity, lifting it at the sides and making sure that the supply cable is not trapped.

•

For correct ventilation, make sure there are the ventilation openings shown in the figure (at least 560 x 90 mm at

the oven base. If installing in a column unit, ensure there is also an opening of at least 500 x 50 mm at the top of

the column).

•

Secure the oven to the housing unit with the screws.

•

The oven can also be fitted under a cooktop that we manufacture.

NOTE:

To allow for proper ventilation, we recommend that you leave an opening for air circulation (in addition to

the one made in the oven support surface) of at least 560 x 30 mm or an equivalent area in the lower section of the

housing (as shown in detail

“a”

in the figure).

An additional opening of 5mm is required between the oven top rim and the cooktop lower rim: This gap must never

be closed by strips or unit reinforcing pieces.

When the oven is installed, make sure that the sides do not touch the front edges of the unit or the adjacent drawers

and doors.

INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Place of installation

If the gas appliance is to function properly the air required for the gas

combustion must flow into the room naturally (see Product Description

Sheet).

The installer must follow the binding safety rules in the country of

installation.

The flow of air into the room must come directly through openings

made in the exterior walls.

These openings must have a free passage section of at least 100 cm

(one or more openings may be made).

The combustion products must be extracted through extractor hoods

connected either to flues or direct external openings.

If an extractor hood cannot be installed, an electric ventilation fan must

be installed on the room’s outside wall or window, provided there is an

opening for air to enter the room, in conformity with binding

regulations.

This electric ventilation fan must have a flow capacity sufficient to

guarantee that 3 to 5 times the volume of air in the room is exchanged

every hour.

• Attention: Do not switch the oven on before you have finished

making the connection.

• Make sure that the installation and electrical connection are

done by a qualified technician in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with binding

local regulations.

• The installer is responsible for making the connection

correctly and observing the safety regulations.

• The oven must be connected to the electricity supply by

means of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact

gap of 3 mm.

• Grounding of the appliance is compulsory by law.

• Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads.

• After the oven has been installed, the electrical components

must be inaccessible.

• Make sure that the voltage stated on the appliance rating

plate is the same as the voltage in your home. The rating plate

is on one of the sides of the cavity (visible with door open).

• Any replacement power supply cable must have the same

characteristics as the one supplied by the manufacturer (type

H05 RR-F) and must be fitted by either the After Sales

Service or a qualified technician.

CONNECTING TO THE GAS SUPPLY

• The gas supply system must conform to binding regulations in

the place of installation (see chapter, “National Reference

Standards”).

• The type of gas for which the oven has been set is shown on

the rating plate on one of the sides of the cavity (visible with

door open) and on the packing.

• Before making the connection, set the oven to the type of gas

in the home.

•

The connection between the gas connection and the pipe must be

made in one of the following ways:

•

1) using a connector without a sealing ring (the oven’s connector is

conical: ISO R 7).

•

2) using the sealing ring provided (see drawing).

Attention:

When finished check that there are no gas leaks. Use soap and

water, or other liquids suitable for the purpose, to check for gas leaks. Do

not use a flame to search for gas leaks.

Warning:

The use of flexible rubber tubing attached to the outlet

connector is prohibited because it cannot be inspected.

Adapting to the gas in use

It is possible to use other types of gas by changing the burner setting as

follows:

Make sure that the oven is not connected to the electric power

supply.

Open the oven door fully.

Completely remove the oven bottom as shown, after removing the

holding screws.

Remove the burner by unscrewing screw “

” (see figure).

Unscrew the injector “

” and replace it, making reference to the

injector table in the "Product Description Sheet", supplied

separately.

Refit the burner and the oven bottom, going through the above steps

in reverse order.

Adjusting the flame (if applicable)

To adjust the flame, proceed as follows:

•

Loosen screw “

” and rotate ring “

” to position “

” for methane

or natural gas and to position “

GPL

” for cylinder gas, making the

movable pointer on the ring line up with the fixed pointer on the

burner. This will provide a regular flame.

Adjusting the minimum

The oven thermostat is equipped with a by-pass for the minimum.

When the type of gas is changed, this setting must be changed as follows:

- remove the thermostat knob

;

- if there is a glass control panel, this must be removed by

unscrewing the two holding screws;

- if there is a metal control panel, the adjustment must be made

through the opening on the left of the knob housing

Light the oven and keep it at the maximum temperature for at least 30

minutes.

Turn the thermostat knob to minimum and set the by-pass to minimum

to get a reduced but constant flame. Perform this operation with the

oven door closed. Use a flat-head screwdriver on the by-pass screw. It

is sufficient to loosen the by-pass screw several turns to adjust the

minimum when changing from liquid gas to natural gas.

Important:

after adjusting the burner, check that the minimum flame

stays lit, testing it by repeatedly opening and closing the oven door. If the

flame goes out, adjust the by-pass setting.

On completing the operations (replacing the injector, adjusting

the air and minimum) turn off the oven and affix the new data

plate (showing the type of gas being used) replacing the previous

one and re-seal all the seals with sealing wax or similar material.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Never allow the oven to be used by children or

infirm persons unless under supervision.

• Make sure children do not play with the

appliance.

• Accessible parts of the oven may become hot

during use and you are advised to keep children

away from the appliance.

• Do not use abrasive materials or substances for

cleaning GLASS panels, as this may damage

them.

• The appliance gets very hot during use. Be

careful not to touch the heating elements inside

the oven.

• Attention: you are advised to use protective

gloves when carrying out maintenance

operations on the oven.

•

Before carrying out any maintenance on the appliances

disconnect them from the electrical power supply.

•

Any work or repairs on the appliance must be carried out

exclusively by a qualified technician.

•

Make sure that the electrical wires of other electrical

appliances used near the cooker or the oven do not

come into contact with hot parts and do not become

caught in the hot oven door.

•

Keep children away from the oven when it is in use and

when it has just been turned off.

•

Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories when

the oven is hot.

• Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium

foil.

•

Do not put inflammable materials in the oven. This will

create a fire risk if the oven is inadvertently switched

on.

•

After using the oven, check that the knob pointer is on

the closed position and close the main tap on the

gas supply pipe or cylinder.

•

Do not store inflammable materials in the oven cavity.

•

Your oven has a fan for cooling the inside of the

kitchen unit and oven components, which creates a

gentle outflow of air from the slit under the control

panel. The cooling system in gas oven function starts

operating as soon as the door is closed and stops when

the door is opened to prevent an outflow of hot hair

towards the user. The ventilation system will keep

working for 10-30 mins. (depending on the oven

temperature) after cooking, with the thermostat in the

off position. In grill function, the cooling system starts

up immediately, whether the door is open or closed,

and stops as in the previous function.

ATTENTION: to reduce consumption and avoid

excessive heating actions, you are advised to keep the

door closed, unless specifically indicated otherwise

(see "Product Description Sheet", supplied

separately).

•

If the cooling fan doesn’t work, do not use the oven

and call the After Sales Service.

•

It is possible for the inside of the glass in the oven door

to cloud up during cooking.

•

Do not rest heavy weights on the door because these

could damage the oven cavity and the hinges.

•

Do not obstruct cooling openings or slots or the fume

exhaust.

•

If the oven burner knob gradually gets harder to turn,

call After Sales Service to get the tap replaced.

OVEN ACCESSORIES
