Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to
cook. Particularly make sure that the pans are not too
small for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption. It is also advisable to cover any boiling
casserole and, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower
the flame enough to keep the boiling point.
As for stoves equipped with lids, it is advisable not to
close the lid while the burners are still hot.
This household appliances complies with
D.M. 13/4/89 and EEC Directive no. 87.308
of 2/6/87 on suppression of radio
inteference.

Hints and tips
F Cooking with the hob burners: Start
cooking with a big flame by turning the knob to , then
adjust the flame as required. The outside of the flame is
much hotter than its inside (nucleus), consequently the
top of the flame should touch the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flames mean a waste of gas.
Contrary to electric plates, gas burners do not require
flat-bottomed pans. The flames touch the bottom and
spread heat all over the surface.
No special pans are required for gas burners. However,
thin-walled pans transmit the heat to the food quicker
than thick-walled ones. Since heat doesn't spread evenly
on the pan bottom, the food may be locally overheated.
Consequently it is advisable to stir the food many times.
A thick pan bottom prevents local overheating as it
allows sufficient thermic compensation. Avoid very small
pans. Wide and shallow pans are more suitable than
narrow and deep ones as they allow a faster heating.
Cooking is not quickened by placing narrow pans on
wide burners. The result is just a waste of gas. For a
proper use, place small pans on small burners and large
pans on large burners. Remember to cover pans to re-
duce gas consumption.
FCooking with Multi-function oven: This
oven of this cooker allows a perfect traditional,
convection, ventilated grilling and grill cooking.
FTraditional cooking: Heat is conveyed both
from the top and bottom of the oven; thus, it is advisable
to put the cpot in the central shelves position. When a
higher heat is required either from the top or bottom, put
the pot in an upper or lower position.
FFan cooking: Heat is transmitted to food by
means of pre-heated air throughout a fan located on the
back wall of the oven. In this way heat can rapidly reach
every part of the oven and cook simultaneously many
dishes placed on several shelves. Thanks to the
elimination of dampness and the cosequently drier air,
this kind of cooking prevents any flavour transference.
Since it is possible to cook on several shelves, different
dishes and up to 3 baking-panfuls of biscuits and small
pizzas either ready to eat or freeze can be prepared at
the same time. However the oven can also be used for
cooking on one shelf only. In this case use the lower
shelves to better control cooking. Moreover, this oven is
particularly suitable for a rapid thawing, sterilizing
suitable preserves and home-made fruit in syrup, and for
dryng mushrooms and fruit.
Suggestions for traditional and fan
baking
How to bake cakes
Cooking of cakes require a moderate temperature
(usually ranging between 150/200°C) and a 10-minute
pre-heating of the oven. The door should not be opened
during the first 3/4 of the whole baking time.
Beaten up dough should be firm enough to avoid a longer
baking time. When cakes and canapees are arranged
simultaneously on 3 shelves, a runner should be skipped
between the 2 lower shelves (Fig. 8).
How to cook meat and fish
Meat should weigh at least 1 kg to avoid excessive
drying. Very soft red meats, to be left rare or only well-
done on the outside while keeping their juices, require a
short time at a high temperature (200-250°C).
White meat, fowl and fish require a low temperature (150-
170°C). Ingredients for the gravy should be added to the
baking pan only in the last half hour, unless cooking time
is very short.
The baking point of meat can be checked by pressing a
spoon against the meat. If it feels firm it is properly
cooked. Roastbeef and sirloin require a short cooking
time, as thier insides must keep their redness.
Meat can either be placed an a suitable baking pan or
directly on the grid under which the drip-pan has to be
inserted to collect the juices. When baking time is over
it is advisable to wait at least 15 minutes before slicing
the meat to avoid any spilling of juices. Dishes can be
kept warm in the oven at the lowest temperature, before
being served.
Grilling
Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable for
thin meat, toast.
Suggestions for grilling and alternating cooking
Nearly all kinds of meat can be grilled excepting some
kinds of lean game and meat loaves. Meat and fish
suitable for grilling should be lightly oiled and always
placed on the grid. The latter should be placed on the
positions either closer or far from the grill, according to
the thickness of the meat, to ensure an even cooking.
Smoke produced by drops of grease and gravy can be
avoided by adding 1-2 glasses of water to the pan.
Cooking time
Cooking time may vary according to the nature, texture
and volume of the food. It is advisable to check the first
cookings and verify their results as similar results can
be obtained by repeating the same conditions.
Indicatively, a couple of cooking tables are shown below
(no. 1/2). Table no. 1 indicates cooking times,
temperatures and positions of dishes in the oven for both
traditional and convection cookings. Table no. 2 gives
the same information for grilling and ventilated grilling.
Experience will suggest possible variations to the values
reported on the tables.

Cleaning and maintenance
Before each operation, disconnect the unit.
Cleaning the cooker
Drops of sauce, fruit juice etc. should be removed as
soon as possible with a soft cloth soaked in warm
detergent water. Do not use steel wool or knives to take
off the layers of crust. Remove stubborn marks with a
well wetted soap impregnated pad, but care must be
taken not to scratch the enamel. Wash the enamelled
grids with water and detergent; these can also be
washed in a dishwasher.
Take off the burner covers and the grids and wash them
carefully with warm water and detergent. Dry them well
before putting them back in position.
Moreover, make sure that these are properly re-placed.
The burner can be rubbed with steel wool or a slightly
abrasive cloth.
Clean the oven door and crystal cover, in models
equipped with these items, only with warm water, and
avoid the use of rough cloths or abrasive substances; in
cookers with an automatic ignition the sparkling bulb
should be cleaned periodically and accurately to avoid
difficulties in lighting; furthermore check that the burner
holes are not obstructed.
Cleaning the oven
Clean carefully the oven cavity after use when it is still
warm. In fact, at this moment it is easy to take off
deposits of fat or other substances such as fruit juice,
sugar particles or fat. You can use warm detergent water
or one of the appropriate spray oven cleaners. Do not
direct the spray at the mat steel parts as this could
damage them and always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Clean the oven acces-sories (grate, grid-
plate, etc.) with warm water and detergent.
Remove possible incrustations with a slightly abrasive
powder.
Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
It would result in an accumulation of heat which
might damage the cooking results and also
damage the enamel.
Periodical checks
Periodic checks of the flexible gas connection tube must
be made by a Serviceman in case of any problem. We
suggest an annual substitution.
The gas taps must be lubricated periodically by a
qualified Serviceman. If something goes wrong have the
cooker inspected by a qualified Serviceman.
Oven lamp replacement (Fig. 6)
Disconnect the appliance. Unscrew the lamp and
substitute it with another fit for higher temperature
(300°C) having the following characteristics:
Tension: 230 V (50Hz)
Power: 15W
Convection: E14
Cleaning the oven door
For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it is
advisable to disassemble it as follows (Fig. 7):
open the door fully;
turn the two caps situated on the arm of the hinge
to 180°;
partially close the door to an angle of 30°;
lift the door and extract from the front.
Refit the door by reversing the operation described
above.

Installation
It is important that all operations are carried out by
qualified personnel according to the existing regulations.
Before using the unit, take off the special protective layer
which protects the stainless steel and anodyzed tin
parts. The thermic insulation and the residue of oil from
work can produce unpleasant smells during the first
minut of use. We suggest that the oven is warmed for
45 minutes at maximum temperature on its first use.
The following instructions are meant for a qualified
installer, in order that the operations of installation,
regulation, and service are executed according to the
existing regulations.
Whenever changes are mode involving the disconnection
of the machine it is necessary to proceed with maximum
caution.
Positioning and levelling
In order to function normally it is imperative that this unit
is installed in a well ventilated kitchen (regarding the
installation follow the existing regulations). The appliance
is of freestanding type and is fit to be dropped in
according to the existing regulations.
Some models have been equipped with 4 optional feet
that increase the height of the unit from 850-900 mm.
By adjusting the feet (Fig. 11) it is possible to adjust the
height of the unit to that of the kitchen furniture and allow
a more uniform distribution of the liquid content of pans
and saucepans.
Balancing the lid
The models that come with crystal lids are equipped with
specially balanced springs.
These are inserted in the hinges at the back of the
appliance to allow the lid to be closed smoothly and
easily.
You can use a screwdriver to adjust the closure of the
lid. The necessary force for opening/closing the lid can
be increased by turning the adjusting screw 2 or 3 times

Characteristics of burners, nozzles and taps
Gas connection
The connection of the cooker to the gas bottle or to the
mains should only be carried out after the unit has been
regulated for use with the type of gas which will be
supplied. For safe operation, minimum consumption and
longer duration of the unit, make sure that the pressure
of supply is equal to the value indicated in the table of
"burner characteristics".
Rigid connection
For a greater safety, it is advisable to make a rigid
connection to the gas installation. The coupling to the
unit is of Gc 1/2 type. If the connection pipe is in metal,
an insulated adaptor must be interposed between the
coupling and the tube.
Connection with flexible pipe
Use a flexible gas pipe, according to the characteristics
indicated by the existing regulations. The pipe should
be well fitted and fixed by means of a clamp. To reach
the supply connection, the pipe should be passed
behind the cooker as shown in Fig. 13. We bring to your
attention some of the main existing regulations. The
flexible tube must not be reach in any point a tempera-
ture higher than 90°C, it should not be no longer than
1,5m. It should not be subjected to any kind of traction
or torsion and it should not be allowed to be excessively
bent. An easy access should be allowed to periodically
check its condition.
Should any leaking occur, do not repair il but instead
replace it.
Service
To guarantee good working order and safety, the
regulation taps should be periodically greased. Service
can be made in the following way: Remove the knobs
and the control panel after having removed the fixing
screws. Unscrew the 2 screws placed at the sides of
the burner valve shaft. Unwind the cone and clean it with
care; then spread over the valve a thin layer of grease
not soluble by hydrocarbon. Pay attention to the fact that
too much grease can obstruct the passage of gas. To fit
again the burner valve in the normal position, you should
reverse the procedure outlined above.
Electrical connections
Before making the connection make sure that the energy
power available in the user's house is sufficient for the
normal supply of this appliance (see rating plate), the unit
is correctly connected to earth through a suitable plug
and according to the installation country laws.
This appliance is supplied with a type H05V2V2-F
connection cable with section 3 x 1,0 mm
2
provided with
plug. The plug must be connected to a proper socket.
The socket or the omnipolar switch used for the
connection must be easily reached with the installed
appliance. The applinace is supplied with a plug. The
plug has to be connected to an adequate socket.
If you wish to directly connect to the mains, you have to
interpose an omnipolar switch with a minimum opening
between contacts of 3mm, between the unit and the
mains, complying with the existing regulations. The
yellow/green earth wire must not be interrupted by the
switch. The brown live wire (originating from the clamp of
the cooker junction box) must always be connected to
the phase of the mains supply. In any case, the supply
cord must be positioned in such a way as it doesn't
reach in any point a temperature higher than 90°C.
Should the supply cord need to be replaced, it is
necessary that the yellow/green earth wire is about 2cm
longer than the live and neutral ones (Fig. 14).
After the connection, test the heating elements for about
3 minutes to ensure that they are working correctly.
The manufacturer refuses any responsability in
cases where normal safety measures are not
observed.
