PROVISION FOR VENTILATION
The room where the Cooker is installed should have permanent ventilation as follows:
“Ventilation must be in accordance with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas
Installations. In general, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits.”
- Do not install in a bed-sitting room, a bathroom or shower room.
If there is another fuel burning appliance in the same room, a higher level of ventilation will be required, you should consults
" the safety requirements".
In addition to the above, during prolonged use, opening a window in the same room is recommended. This will avoid the build up of excessive moisture and condensation.
POSITIONING
Important: Fix the chain located next to the gas connection on both sides of the cooker to the wall to prevent the cooker from tilting. Both chains must be securely fixed.
Make sure that the wall surface behind the Cooker is noncombustable (will not catch fire).
Where a painted surface is adjacent, a fire retardent paint surface is recommended. Wallpaper, wood, or fabric should not be used behind or next to the cooker.
“Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible material for a height of 150mm for the entire length of the hob. Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at least
650mm above the maintop.” Ensure that a power and gas supply are nearby. The Cooker should be located carefully so that the heat produced by it has plenty of space to escape. The diagram below shows an ideal configuration.

The user can change the shelves, depending on his personal whishes and on the different food.
Geat the oven 5 minutes before introducing the food.
Warning:
Do not place fatty foods too close to the grill and never leave the grill unattended. If fatty foods are grilled, or roasting has been cooked in the oven at a high temperature the grill element may smoke. This is not dangerous and the smoke is caused by the fat burning off when the grill element is hot. Leave the grill element on until the smoking has stopped t-hen use as normal. If a grease fire should occur in a pan put out the flame by placing a lid on the pan. Do not throw water on a grease fire.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull them forward you, tilt front end upward and pull them out.

PROBLEM SOLVER
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:
Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.
Sooting up of cooking utensils.
Burners not igniting properly.
Burners failing to remain alight.
Burners extinguished by oven door.
Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.
Your Installer should be contacted if you have any problems with the installation.
Before you call a service engineer please check if the problem is something you could fix yourself. The cause of the problem is often a simple one.
THINGS TO TRY BEFORE CALLING FOR AN ENGINEER
Burner does not burn well
Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner.
Appliance not suitable for your gas type? Check the identification plate on the hotplate base.
Burner does not ignite
Do the burners spark when you press the ignition button? If not is the power on? See ‘Checking the power supply’ section further on. If the power supply is OK then there is probably something wrong with the ignition system.
Are the electrode or burner slots blocked by debris?
Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner.
Is the burner trim correctly located?
Are the burner caps correctly located?
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.
Pan supports
Aluminium pans may cause a metallic marking on the pan supports which does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal cleaner such as ‘Brasso’.
Checking the power supply
First check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it.
If that works, renew the fuse in the hotplate plug. Use a 10 amp fuse. If the fuse ‘blows’ again there is a fault on the hotplate. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the hotplate and tell your installer.
Power Failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the hotplate burners may be lit using a match.
Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. For more detail see the Installation
Instructions.
OVEN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
First, when the oven is equipped with timer, check appliance is not programmed to turn on later. If it is, turn to manual setting (i.e.
hand symbol). If the button or scale on the timer remains in the automatic position after use, the power supply to the oven will be interrupted. Also, check your appliance is switched on at the mains. Next check for an unexpected power strike by switching on adjacent lights etc. Finally, check fuses and plug wiring. If all these prove satisfactory, call engineer.
LIGHT BULB DOESN’T COME ON
Check bulb for looseness or burned out bulb.
Note: bulb replacement is not covered by your guarantee.
SMOKE COMING FROM OVEN
If oven is still relatively new, this problem is invariably due to protective oil on elements. Otherwise, the answer may be oil or fat which has become deposited on the elements during cooking.
In either event, continued use should burn away the residues. On future occasions, try to shield food with foil or keep it further away from element, particularly when grilling.
CLOCK/TIMER DOES NOT WORK
Check to be sure range cord is plugged into outlet completely.
Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Check for power outage. Check step by step operating Instructions on previous pages.
If, after checking through this section, you cannot resolve your problem please call the number on the data plate fixed to the front cover of these instructions for service and spare parts.
When ordering please quote the appliance name, the colour variant and serial number.
This information can be found on the data plate sealed inside the front appliance drawer.

Keeping the knob pressed, the electric automatic ignition of the burner will be started up. In case there is not electric current, the burner can also be lighted using a match.
The small flame indicates the low position.
Turn the knob to it after the contents of a pan have boiled.
The smaller burners are for smaller pans and simmering. Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
WARNING
It is not recommended to press push button for ignition if all the burners are not located in the proper positions. The burner heads, burner skirts and pan supports are removable for better cleaning:
Always ensure that the burner skirts and heads are replaced correctly so that the burners function safely and correctly.
During the use of the appliance pay attention that water or any liquid does not enter into the appliance through the holes of the burners or around the rods of the valves or the push button electronic lighter.
Water or juice will produce dangerous short-circuits and can seriously damage the working of the Hotplate.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN
- Before cooking in the first time we reccommend that the oven
should be operated at 200° C for 30 minutes to remove any
manufacturing greases and odours.
- Do not place items or pan directly on to the oven botton.
- Foil should only be used to cover food and not oven shelves or
party of the oven. When used improperly will obstruct the air
circulation causing problems in cooking and/or harmful accidents.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL OVEN
The oven is fitted with:
a lower heating element;
an upper heating element;
a circular heating element surrounding the fan.
N.B.: Always set the temperature on the thermostat knob before selecting any of the functions.
Oven thermostat knob
To obtain an oven temperature between 60°C and MAX°C, turn the knob clockwise.
When you turn the control knob to this position, the light will be on for all the following operations.
Defrosting with fan
The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven for defrosting food very quickly and without proteins adulterations.
Natural convection
Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together.
This is the traditional cooking, very good for roasting joints, ideal for biscuits, baked apples and crisping food.
You obtain very good results when cooking on a shelf adjusting the temperature between 60 and MAX°C.

The user can change the shelves, depending on his personal whishes and on the different food.
Geat the oven 5 minutes before introducing the food.
Warning:
Do not place fatty foods too close to the grill and never leave the grill unattended. If fatty foods are grilled, or roasting has been cooked in the oven at a high temperature the grill element may smoke. This is not dangerous and the smoke is caused by the fat burning off when the grill element is hot. Leave the grill element on until the smoking has stopped t-hen use as normal. If a grease fire should occur in a pan put out the flame by placing a lid on the pan. Do not throw water on a grease fire.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull them forward you, tilt front end upward and pull them out.

Isolate appliance from electric / gas mains supplies if safe to do so. Try to extinguish flames with the appropriate equipment (fire blanket or extinguishing foam).
Do not use water on cooking fat / oil fires.
If in difficulty call emergency services.
Do not store or use flammable products or aerosol containers near the hotplate or burners.
Never flambe under an extractor - even if the ventilator is switched off.
The high flames can cause fire.
For your safety and that of your children
Do not store items that are attractive to children above or near the appliance.
Keep children well away from the appliance: do not forget that some parts of the appliance or of the pans become very hot and dangerous during use, and will take time to cool down.
When cooking, do not use clothes that could catch fire and cause serious injury.
Some Wok cooking pots are unstable. Check with the manufacturer before purchasing.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans which may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is
125mm (5"). Smaller pans will be unstable.
Very large pans may cause walls or knobs to overheat. Using pans which are too big may deform the control knobs or discolour the walls. This is not covered by the guarantee.
Carefully place all pans centrally over the burners.
Always position pan handles safely away from the front of the hotplate and out of danger, particularly from small children.
Never leave a chip pan unattended.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should not be used.
Simmering aids such as asbestos or mesh mats are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.
Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this hotplate.

PROBLEM SOLVER
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:
Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.
Sooting up of cooking utensils.
Burners not igniting properly.
Burners failing to remain alight.
Burners extinguished by oven door.
Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.
Your Installer should be contacted if you have any problems with the installation.
Before you call a service engineer please check if the problem is something you could fix yourself. The cause of the problem is often a simple one.
THINGS TO TRY BEFORE CALLING FOR AN ENGINEER
Burner does not burn well
Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner.
Appliance not suitable for your gas type? Check the identification plate on the hotplate base.
Burner does not ignite
Do the burners spark when you press the ignition button? If not is the power on? See Checking the power supply section further on. If the power supply is OK then there is probably something wrong with the ignition system.
Are the electrode or burner slots blocked by debris?
Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner.
Is the burner trim correctly located?
Are the burner caps correctly located?
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.
Pan supports
Aluminium pans may cause a metallic marking on the pan supports which does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal cleaner such as Brasso.
Checking the power supply
First check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it.
If that works, renew the fuse in the hotplate plug. Use a 10 amp fuse. If the fuse blows again there is a fault on the hotplate. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the hotplate and tell your installer.
Power Failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the hotplate burners may be lit using a match.
Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. For more detail see the Installation
Instructions.
OVEN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
First, when the oven is equipped with timer, check appliance is not programmed to turn on later. If it is, turn to manual setting (i.e.
hand symbol). If the button or scale on the timer remains in the automatic position after use, the power supply to the oven will be interrupted. Also, check your appliance is switched on at the mains. Next check for an unexpected power strike by switching on adjacent lights etc. Finally, check fuses and plug wiring. If all these prove satisfactory, call engineer.
LIGHT BULB DOESNT COME ON
Check bulb for looseness or burned out bulb.
Note: bulb replacement is not covered by your guarantee.
SMOKE COMING FROM OVEN
If oven is still relatively new, this problem is invariably due to protective oil on elements. Otherwise, the answer may be oil or fat which has become deposited on the elements during cooking.
In either event, continued use should burn away the residues. On future occasions, try to shield food with foil or keep it further away from element, particularly when grilling.
CLOCK/TIMER DOES NOT WORK
Check to be sure range cord is plugged into outlet completely.
Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Check for power outage. Check step by step operating Instructions on previous pages.
If, after checking through this section, you cannot resolve your problem please call the number on the data plate fixed to the front cover of these instructions for service and spare parts.
When ordering please quote the appliance name, the colour variant and serial number.
This information can be found on the data plate sealed inside the front appliance drawer.
Maintenance schedule:
To ensure the appliance continues to operate at peak performance, we recommend a routine service call every 2 years for the life of the appliance.
