BURNER ADJUSTMENT

Burner "MINIMUM" adjustment:

Work surface burner adjustment: follow the instructions below to adjust the work surface burner minimum:

1) Light the burner and set the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame).

2) Remove the knob of the valve that is press fit on the rod of that valve.

3) If the cooker is not equipped with safety valves on the surface burners, insert a small slotted screwdriver into the hole on the valve rod (Fig. 18) and turn the choke screw to the right or left until the burner flame is adjusted to minimum. If the cooker is equipped with safety valves, the choke valve is not located in the rod hole, but on the valve body (see fig. 19).

4) For the gas valve of dual burner the choke valve is located on the valve body (fig. 20) , the A screw adjust the outer ring, the B screw adjust the inner ring.

5) Make sure that the flame does not go out when switching quickly from the MAXIMUM to the MINIMUM position.

Oven burner adjustment: follow the instructions below to adjust the minimum:

1) Light the burner setting the knob to the MAXIMUM position.

2) Close the oven door and operate the oven for at least 10 minutes.

3) Set the knob to the MINIMUM position (corresponding to 120°) and then remove it.

4) With a slotted screwdriver turn the choking screw (see figure 21) and, while observing the flame at the same time through the cooker porthole, evaluate the consistency of the flame so it remains on when switching quickly from the

MINIMUM to the MAXIMUM position.

WARNING: The above-mentioned adjustment should be made only with methane gas burners, while for those operating with liquid gas the screw must be locked at the end in a clockwise direction. The grill burner always operates at maximum and therefore no minimum adjustment is required.

APPLIANCE ELECTRIC CONNECTION:

The electric connection must comply with the current legal standards and regulations.

Before making the connection, check that:

- The system electrical rating and the current outlets are adequate for the maximum power output of the appliance (see the label applied to the bottom of the casing).

- The outlet or the system is equipped with an efficient ground connection in accordance with the current legal standards and regulations. The company will not be responsible for the non-compliance with these instructions.

When the connection to the power supply network is made using an outlet:

- If the power cord is supplied without a plug, apply a standard plug that is suitable for the load indicated on the label.

Connect the wires according to the diagram shown in FIG.22 and check that: letter L (phase) = brown wire; letter N (neutral) = blue wire; ground symbol = green-yellow wire;

- The power cord must be positioned so that an overtemperature of 75 K will not be reached at any point.

- Do not use reductions, adapters or splitters since they might cause false contacts and lead to dangerous overheating.

When the connection is made directly to the electric network:

- Use a device that ensures disconnection from the mains in which the contacts are opened to a distance that permits complete disconnection according to the conditions for over-voltage category III.

- Remember that the ground wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker.

- As an alternative, the electric connection can also be protected by a high-sensitivity residual current circuit-breaker.

- It is highly recommended to attach the special green-yellow ground wire to an efficient ground system.

WARNING: If the power cord is replaced, the ground wire (yellow-green) connected to the terminal, should be longer than the other wires by about 2 cm.

USING BURNERS

A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. The burners can be ignited in different ways depending on the type of appliance and its specific characteristics:

- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off): Turn the knob anticlockwise that corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig.24-25) and place a lit match up to the burner.

- Electric ignition: Turn the knob counterclockwise that corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position (large flame Fig. 24-25) and keep on pressing the knob in correspondence of the ignition symbol marked with a star (for cookers equipped with ignition trough knob) or press the ignition button marked with a star and release it as soon as the burner has ignited.

- Burner ignition equipped with safety device (thermocouple)(fig.28): Turn the knob anticlockwise that corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig. 24-25), press the knob and activate one of the above-mentioned ignition devices. Once ignited, keep pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner goes out after releasing the knob, repeat the entire operation.

Note: It is recommended not to try to ignite a burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position.

- Use of the Dual burner (Fig.26-27)

This model controls both the central and the external crown of the burner with just one valve.

To ignite the central crown press and turn the knob to the maximum delivery position 1 and hold it down until ignition; in this position the internal flame are at maximum.

Turn the knob to position 2 to have the internal crown at minimum.

Turn the knob to position 3 to have the internal crown and the external crown at the maximum.

Turn the knob to position 4 to have the internal crown and the external crown at the minimum.

Tips for using burners correctly:

- Use suitable pots for each burner (see tab. 4 and Fig. 29).

- When the liquid is boiling, turn the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame Fig. 24-25).

- Always use pots with a cover.

NOTE: after cleaning the burners, make sure the caps “A” and flame spreader heads “B” are positioned properly as shown in figure ‘30 OK’ and are not positioned as shown in figure ‘30 KO’.

WARNING: If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches. When cooking foods with oil and fat, which are very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance unattended. If the appliance is equipped with a glass cover, such a cover may break when heated. Turn off all burners before lowering the cover. Do not use sprays near the appliance when it is being used. When using the burners, make sure that the handles of the pots are correctly positioned. Keep children away from the appliance. If equipped with a cover, before being closed, any food deposits should be cleaned off the built-in surface.

NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.

Therefore, proper aeration in the room is needed while ensuring that natural ventilation openings remain unobstructed (Fig.3) and activating the mechanical aeration device/exhaust hood or electric fan (Fig. 4 and Fig.

5). Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional aeration, for example by opening a window, or more efficient aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical exhauster, if installed.

USING THE GAS OVEN

All the gas oven cookers are equipped with a thermostat and safety device to adjust the cooking temperature. The oven temperature is set by turning the knob counterclockwise to match the indicator with the temperature selected. The gas oven can be combined with a gas grill or an electric grill. See the specific pages for use information.

Operating the fan of the oven by means of the appropriate switch situated on the control panel, the circulation of warm air guarantees a uniform heat distribution. The preheating of the oven can be avoided. However for delicate baking, it is preferable to warm the oven before introducing the baking-pan. The baking system with the fan convection changes in part the various traditional baking notions. When roasting meat it is not necessary to turn the meat any more and for a roast on the spit, it is not indispensable to use the spit-roaster, but is sufficient to put the meat directly on the grate.

With the use of the fan gas oven, the baking temperatures are slightly lower of about 10-15°C compared to those in use with the traditional gas oven. The oven can also be used in a traditional way, for foods requiring heat from the bottom, e.g. pizza.

WARNING: If the burner flames are extinguished accidentally, turn off the control knob and do not try to relight the oven until after at least 1 minute.

The oven burner can be ignited in different ways:

- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off):

To light the oven, open the oven door and turn the knob so the no. 8 on the scale matches the indicator (fig.31-32). At the same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level (fig.33). Then press the thermostat knob (this makes the gas start to flow) and keep it pressed, after the burner has been completely lit, for 10 seconds.

Release the knob and make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.

- Electric ignition (only for the models equipped with this device):

In this case, first open the oven door, then turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting (number 8). Then press the thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation. As for cookers without ignition trough knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.

The ignition device should not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after that period the burner still has not been lit, do not use the device and open the door of the room or wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the oven again.

WARNING: when trying to light the oven, the door must always be open. When using the oven, leave the cooker cover open to prevent it from overheating.

NOTICE: when using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature of about 250° without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the internal insulation.

During normal oven use, after lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes before putting in any food to preheat the oven.

The oven is equipped with 5 guides at different heights level (fig.34) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. The table below lists the general cooking times and the position of the tray for different types of foods.

Personal experience will help to determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe being used.

Temperatures between brackets are referred to the use of oven with fan assisted gas.

USING THE ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT FOR MULTI-FUNCTION COOKERS

The thermostat provided in every model keeps the temperature inside the oven constant at a temperature range from

50°C to 250°C .

Turn the knob clockwise (Figure 37-38),to align the selected temperature on the metal ring with the indicator printed on the front panel. An orange light shows the thermostat is working and goes off when the oven temperature has exceeded the selected temperature by 10°C and comes on when the selected temperatures drops below 10°C. The thermostat can operate the oven heating elements only if the switch is in one of the heating element operating modes. If the switch is set to 0, the thermostat will not operate the heating elements.

USING THE 9-SETTING MULTI-FUNCTION OVEN SELECTOR

The 9+0 setting change-over switch for multi-function ovens is used to control, along with the thermostat, the fan motor and heating elements. To turn on the elements, both the knob on the 9+0 switch and thermostat need to be turned; if only one knob is turned, the oven will not work and only the light or fan motor will come on. The electric oven has 4 heating elements: a bottom element, two top elements and a round element; turn the change-over switch knob (Figure

39-40) to enable the heating element matching the symbol on the metal ring. However to operate this element, you need to turn the thermostat knob until the orange light shows the element has come on. If you position the change-over switch to any one of the nine operating modes, the relative heating element is enabled as well as the oven light. After the temperature and heating elements to operate have been selected, the oven heating elements are operated by the thermostat, so it is normal for the orange light to come on and off during operation.

To turn off the electric oven, set the change-over switch knob to 0 to prevent the thermostat operating the heating elements. The heating elements will be disabled, but the fan motor and oven light can be turned on from the changeover switch.

The switch has 9 settings, for 9 different types of oven operation:

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN WITH NATURAL CONVECTION

When using the oven for the first time, leave it on for maximum 30 minutes at a temperature of 250°, to eliminate smell from the internal seals.

During normal use, select the cooking temperature using the thermostat knob, then wait for the orange light to go off before putting foods in.

The oven has 5 grooves at different heights (Figure 34) for fitting racks or trays. To prevent getting the oven too dirty, meat should be cooked on a tray or rack placed in the tray.

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN WITH FAN

When using the oven for the first time, leave it on for maximum 30 minutes at a temperature of 250°, to eliminate smell from the internal seals.

Before cooking foods, make sure the oven reaches the selected temperature and the orange light is off. This type of oven has a round heating element inside, where the fan for forced air circulation in a horizontal direction is positioned.

Based on this operating principle, a fan oven can be used for different kinds of cooking at the same time, without changing the taste of the food. A few models are fitted at the rear with a removable metal filter that retains grease when cooking roasts. This filter should be cleaned regularly with soapy water to remove the grease and rinsed thoroughly. To remove the metal filter, apply gentle pressure upwards on the tab, indicated by the arrow. The circulation of hot air ensures that heat is evenly distributed. It is not necessary to preheat the oven, however in the case of delicate baking, the oven should be preheated before putting in baking trays. The convection fan cooking system changes to some extent concepts about traditional cooking. Meat does not have to be turned during cooking and a spit does not have to be used for rotisserie roasting. The meat can be simply put on the rack.

USING THE STATIC ELECTRIC GRILL

The electric grill can be combined with the gas or electric oven.

With a gas oven + electric grill combination, the grill is operated from the oven thermostat knob.

The electric grill for gas oven cookers has a 2500W rating.

IMPORTANT: When using the electric grill in electric oven cookers, do not turn the thermostat knob to more

than 150°C to prevent overheating the oven front; the oven has been designed for closed-door grilling.

Grilling on the rack: In this case, the rack should be put at level 1 or 2, placing foods on top of the rack and a drip tray below. Turn on the grill heating element, setting the thermostat to the relative position.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the oven door must be kept closed when grilling using the static electric grill.

WARNING: during use the appliance gets very hot. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven.

NOTE: accessible parts may heat up during use. Keep children away.

USING THE ELECTRIC GRILL WITH FAN

The electric grill with fan is a special function for optimal grilling, with the oven rack at an intermediate position and the drip tray below.

With gas oven cookers with electric grills, set the thermostat to the grill symbol and the 2+0 change-over switch to the position to turn on the 2500W grill heating element and fan motor.

With cookers with a 9-setting change-over switch, set the 9+0 switch to the relative position and the electric thermostat to the temperature required, to turn on the grill heating element and fan motor.

IMPORTANT: When using the electric grill with fan, do not turn the thermostat knob to not more than 175°C

(between 150° and 200°C) to prevent overheating the oven front; the oven has been designed for closed-door fan grilling.

Note:

This appliance is equipped with a cooling fan. The fan starts operating when the oven is on. The fan circulates the air between the control panel and the oven door, allowing the control panel and the oven door to remain cool while cooking.

USING THE THERMOMETER Figure 41

The cooker is fitted with a device to measure the temperature in the middle of the oven.

This lets you check the temperature inside the oven and adjust food cooking temperatures more accurately.

ELECTRIC OVEN

When you turn on the oven, the orange light comes on to indicate that the heating elements are working: The thermometer dial will start to move towards the set temperature.

The orange light will keeping coming on and off, indicating that the heating elements are working to maintain the temperature inside the oven.

The light may go off for a few minutes before the thermometer has reached the temperature required. This is normal, because operation of the heating elements is regulated so that heat is distributed properly inside the oven.

Heat is optimally distributed inside the oven when the thermometer dial has stopped.

If the oven temperature drops or goes up, the thermometer dial will follow these variations in the same way.

When the oven is turned off, the temperature on the thermometer will slowly drop until it reaches room temperature.

NOTE: The temperatures on the knob are indicative. Follow the thermometer temperature for cooking.

GAS OVEN

When the oven is turned on, the burner will start working at the maximum and the thermometer dial will start to move towards the set temperature.

The flame may die down before the thermometer has reached the temperature required. This is because burner power is reduced so that heat can be evenly distributed inside the oven.

Heat is optimally distributed inside the oven when the thermometer dial has stopped.

When the oven is turned off, the temperature on the thermometer will slowly drop until it reaches room temperature.

NOTE: The Thermostat Position and Oven Temperature correspondence in table no. 5 is indicative and depends on various factors such as the type of gas and supply pressure.

Follow the thermometer temperature for cooking.

NOTE: it is normal to record different temperatures from those indicated on the panel thermometer, when you measure the temperature in the middle of the oven using a different thermometer.

The temperature indicated by the thermometer is the mean temperature inside the oven and does not indicate the temperature of any single point.

USING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

On models which have this device, the self-cleaning oven differs from normal ovens because the inner surfaces are coated with a special micro-porous enamel that absorbs and eliminates grease residues during cooking. If liquid grease is released, self-cleaning is not sufficient, so wipe the grease stains with a damp sponge and then heat the oven to the maximum temperature, wait for it to cool down and wipe again with a damp sponge.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Before any cleaning, unplug the appliance and turn off the gas tap.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance

Cleaning the hob:

Clean the burner heads, enamelled steel pan supports, enamelled caps and flame spreaders regularly using warm soapy water. Rinse and dry well.

Use a cloth to wipe away any liquids spilt from pans.

If the gas tap does not open or close easily, do not force it, but seek technical assistance immediately.

Cleaning enamelled parts:

Clean enamelled parts frequently with soapy water, to keep their characteristics unaltered. Never use abrasive powders.

Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato juice, etc.) on enamelled parts, and clean the parts when still warm.

Cleaning stainless steel parts:

Clean with soapy water then dry with a soft cloth. Use special stainless steel cleaning products regularly to maintain the shine. Never use abrasive powders.

Cleaning the flame spreaders:

As the flame spreaders rest on the hob surface, to clean them, remove and wash with soapy water. Dry well and make sure the holes are not obstructed, before putting them back in position.

Cleaning the oven glass panel:

The oven glass panel can be removed. After opening the doors and blocking the hinges inserting a nail in the hole of every hinge (figure 42) remove the glass panel (figure 43) and clean. Clean the panel when the oven is cold, using a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products. Put the glass panel back, making sure the smooth part is on the outside and the printed part inside the oven door. Then release the hinges removing the nails.

Note: do not release the hinges if the glass panel is not fitted on the door.

Cleaning inside the oven:

To make heavy-duty cleaning easier, the door can be removed as follows. After opening the door and blocking the hinges (figure 42), put the door in a semi-open position and pull towards yourselves until it is released. To reassemble, proceed as above in reverse. The side racks can also be removed, by removing the nuts securing them to the oven.

Cast iron or aluminium strip racks:

Soft aluminium-bottomed pans are not recommended, to prevent leaving permanent marks on the rack surface which cannot be removed with normal washing.
