nently ventilated rooms in accordance with current National Regu-

lations. The following requirements must be observed:

a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system that

vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may consist of

a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time

the appliance is turned on.

Mounting the legs (only on certain models)

Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your

cooker.

precautions must be followed:

a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or

bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.

b) The furniture units next to the cooker, that is higher than the

working boards, must be placed at least 600 mm from the

edge of the board. Curtains must not be fitted immediately

behind the cooker or within 110 mm. of the sides of the cooker.

c) The hoods must be installed according to the requirements

The primary air of the burners requires no regulation.

Adapting to different types of gas

In order to adapt the oven to a different type of gas with

respect to the gas for which it was manufactured (indi-

cated on the label), follow these simple steps:

a) Replacing the oven burner nozzle

Adapting the gas grill to different types of gas

Replacing the nozzle of the grill burner:

unscrew the grill burner nozzle using the special socket

spanner for the nozzles (see Fig. F) or better still a 7 mm

socket spanner; replace the nozzle with a nozzle for the new

type of gas (see table 1).

· remove screw “V” and then the oven burner;

· Unscrew the oven burner nozzle using the special

socket spanner for the nozzles, or a 7 mm socket span-

ner, and replace it with a nozzle suited to the new type

of gas (see Table 1).

Take particular care handling the spark plug wires

and the thermocouple pipes.

· Replace all the parts, following the steps described

above in the reverse order.

b) Minimum regulation of the gas oven burner with thermostat:

light the burner as described in the paragraph “the oven knob”

of the instruction booklet.

turn the knob to Max for about 10 minutes and then turn the

knob to the Min setting;

remove the knob;

regulate the screw positioned outside the thermostat pin

until the flame is small but steady.

N.B.: in the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must

be screwed in to the bottom.

Regulating the Primary Air for the Oven Burner

The oven burner do not need to be regulated in terms of

primary air.

Important

On completion of the operation, replace the old rating sticker

with one indicating the new type of gas used. This sticker is

available from our Service Centres.

Note

Should the pressure of the gas used be different (or vary) from

the recommended pressure, it is necessary to fit a suitable

pressure regulator onto the inlet pipe in compliance with current

National Regulations relative to “regulators for channelled gas”.
