[. . . ] B Installing the Cooker The cooker is manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. Therefore, the appliance can be installed next to cabinets, provided they are not taller than the hob. If the cooker is placed in contact with walls or the sides of adjacent cabinets, they must be capable of withstanding a rise in temperature of 50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of the cooker, the following precautions must be taken: a) Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are higher than the top of the hob, must be at least 200 mm from the edge of the hob itself. b) Hoods must be installed according to the requirements in the installation manual for the hood and, in any case, at a minimum height of 650 mm. c) If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter 14 must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface of the hob. Cabinets installed adjacent to the hood must be at least 420 mm above the hob, as shown in Figures C and D. HOOD min. without hood Cylinder dimensions (only present on some models) The cylinder's maximum capacity is to be of 15 Kg and it must be in line with the dimensions (expressed in millimetres) as prescribed by the current national regulations (see figure). HOOD min. without hood Min. 600 mm. 420 mm.

Before making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated for the gas supply you are using. N. B: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they can cause heating or burning. Adapting the cooker to different types of gas In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps: a) replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that supplied in the bag of "cooker accessories". Important: the hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8, the hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Control Knobs for the Gas Burners on the Hob (N) The position of the gas burner controlled by each one of the knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring: . To light one of the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-clockwise direction to the maximum setting. Each burner can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off (the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the and reference mark on the control panel), for maximum minimum . To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the symbol). Electronic Lighting of the Hob Burners (only on a few models) Some models are equipped with instant electronic lighting of the gas burners located on the hob, which can be identified by the presence of an igniter device (see detail D). This device is activated by lighting pressing on the "L" button, identified by the symbol. [. . . ] Beaten cake mixtures should not be too soft as this could considerably lengthen cooking times. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. Pastry dropped Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C. Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. [. . . ]
