To light a burner:
z turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the
maximum position, then push it down to ignite the
burner;
z upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (see
diagram, D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
z then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (see diagram, A-B) are in
the correct position. To put the flame out, turn the knob
to the symbol z.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.

Before the First Use of the appliance
Before using the appliance, remove all packaging,
both inside and outside the appliance, including
the advertising labels and any protective film.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash
the oven accessories.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
The oven will work only if the time of day has
been set.
1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer
(see chapter "Electronic Programmer").
2. Switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking .
3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the fan oven
function and full grill function for approximately
5-10 minutes.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven
cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a
soft cloth soaked in warm water to which a little
mild washing-up liquid has been added.
)
11
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully
open.
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible
to cook in a steamy environment and keep the
dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the
cooking time and energy consumption are reduced
to a minimum. During cooking steam may be
produced which can be released when opening the
oven door. This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during
cooking or at the end of it to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
The heating elements do not work when the
oven door is not completely closed.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with
two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of
the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Warning! - Do not place objects on the bottom
of the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil
while cooking, as you can damage the
enamelled surfaces and the food you are
cooking. Always place pans, heat-resisting
pans and aluminium foils on the oven shelves.
Warning! - Be careful when you insert and
extract the grid and the dripping pan from the
oven in order not to damage the enamelled
surfaces of the oven cavity.

Hints and Tips for using the Hob
Start your cooking with a big flame by turning the knob
to the symbol
. Then adjust the flame as necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than its inside
(nucleus). Accordingly , the top of the flame should lick
the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames mean a waste
of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do not require
flat-bottomed pans: the flames lick the bottom and spread
the heat all over the surface.
No special pans are required for gas burners. However,
thinwalled pans transmit the heat to the food more
quickly than thick-walled ones.
Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the pan's bottom,
the food may only be partially heated. Consequently it
is advisable to stir the food many times.
A thick pan bottom prevents partial 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 usage, place small pans on small
burners and large pans on large burners.
Remember to cover pans to reduce gas consumption.
Pottery
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.
13
Condensation and Steam
When food is heated, it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle does. When steam comes in contact
of the oven door glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.
To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is well heated
before placing food in the oven cavity. A short oven pre-
heating (about 10 minutes) will then be necessary before
any cooking.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back.
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be
stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also
become hot, therefore care should be taken when
removing these items from the drawer whilst the
oven is in use or still hot.of the oven, or placed on
the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
Hints and Tips for using the Oven
Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and
Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip tray
in the first position from the bottom with some water in it.
The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be
cooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and
175°C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on
the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a
higher temperature (between 200 and 230°C) for a short
time is recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium tempera-
ture (between 150 and 200°C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be
cooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest that
you take particular note of your first cooking experiments
with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for
the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results.
Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate
changes to values given on charts.
14
Using the Conventional Oven
When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single
level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require
extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This
form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without
the fan in operation.
How to Use the
Conventional Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function ( ).
2. Adjust the temperature usign the thermostat control
knob.
During cooking, the cooling fan will operate.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g.
lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Hints and Tips
The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the
shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes
used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy
or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect
the heat away and give less base browning.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even
browning.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the
oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat
the oven until the oven indicator goes out, then swich the
selector to the conventional oven setting.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use the fan
oven function.
)
15
The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
z Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you
may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes
on cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven
is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
z
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C
for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.
z
Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
How to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function ( ).
2. Adjust the temperature usign the thermostat control
knob.
During cooking, the cooling fan will operate.

These charts are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your
individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed.
The grill cavity becomes very hot during use.
How to Use the Full Grill
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function ( ).
2. Adjust the temperature usign the thermostat control
knob.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan will operate.
Hints and Tips
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food
out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if
preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.
- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to keep
the same temperature level and prevent
overheating.

Defrosting Chart
The times quoted in the chart should be used as a guide only, as the speed of defrosting will depend on the kitchen
temperature. For example, the colder the ambient temperature, the longer the defrosting time.
Chicken 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Place the chicken on an inverted saucer on a large
plate. Defrost open and turn at half time or defrost
covered with foil. Remove giblets as soon as possible.

Notes
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the required cooking
function ( ).
It is not possible to adjust the temperature.
When defrosting food, the temperature inside the oven is
about 30°C.
Hints and Tips
Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.
The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The hob has cast iron pan supports. Take care when
removing them. They are fairly heavy and could damage
the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let them fall down.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water.
If necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wood pad can be used with caution.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic and
metal electrode (see diagram page 6 - letter C). Keep
these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
