3.5 Ventilation requirements
The room containing the appliances should have an air supply in accordance with B.S. 5440 part 2.
1.
All rooms require an opening window or equivalent, and some rooms will require a permanent
vent as well.
2.
3.
For room volumes up to 5m³ an air vent of 100cm² is required.
If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, and the room exceeds 1m³ no air
vent is required.
4.
5.
For room volumes between 5m³ and 10m³ an air vent of 50cm² is required.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room B.S. 5440 part 2 should be
consulted to determine the air vent requirements.
6.
The appliance must not be installed in a bed sitting room of less than 20m or in a bathroom or
shower room.
Windows and permanent vents should therefore not be blocked or removed without first consulting a
Corgi gas installer.
Failure to install appliances correctly is dangerous and could lead to prosecution.
DO NOT install LPG version below ground level. This does not exclude installation into a room, which
equates to a basement on one side of the building, but open to ground level on the opposite side.
3.6 Gas connection
Gas-powered devices for home use, which are not connected to a conduit for the evacuation of
combustion products, must not cause a concentration of carbon monoxide that could pose a health
risk to the persons exposed in relation to the time of exposure.
We recommend checking that the appliance is properly set up for the type of
gas distributed. The threaded ½" gas connection pipe is located at the rear
on the right hand side of the appliance.
The cooker is designed to match the depth of standard 600mm worktops. An adaptor back plate
should, therefore, be fitted within the shaded area shown to allow the cooker to be pushed in fully
and chased to the wall.
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved appliance flexible connection to
BS 669. A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length of hose chosen should be such that
when the cooker is in situ, the hose does not touch the floor.
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are likely to come in contact with the
flexible hose do not exceed 70°C.

HEATING BLOCK OF THE OVEN
If during normal operation the oven interrupts heating and the programmer display begins to flash
and goes to zero, check whether:
x
there has been a current interruption.
If the block occurs again after the cooking programme has been restarted, this means that the
safety device has been tripped. This device intervenes in the event of a thermostat fault and
prevents oven overheating. In such case, we recommend that you not try to light the oven again
and that you contact your nearest service centre.
9.2 Drawer and storage compartment
In some models a storage drawer is provided on the lower part of
the cooker beneath the oven or in the next side compartment.
Use this cabinets only to store metal cooker accessories.

10. Cooking suggestions
10.1 Suggestions for using the hob burners correctly
The diameter of the base of cooking recipients
should fit the diameter of the burner used (see
adjacent table). The burner flame must never be
wider than the diameter of the recipient. Use
recipients with a flat base. Where possible use
pots with a lid, as this allows less power to be
used. To reduce cooking times for vegetables,
potatoes, etc., use little water.

10.2 Suggestions for using the fry-top / steak grill correctly
The fry-top griddle is smooth, whereas the steak grill is lined and can be used to obtain the typical
rhomboidal pattern together with the delicious flavour of barbecue cooking.
Foods cooked on the fry-top/steak grill have a special taste that does not require the excessive use
of spices. It is possible to cook in different ways. For example, different foods, such as meat and
fish, can be cooked at the same time. Before cooking meat, we recommend treating it with
flavoured oil or marinating it for a few hours.
A little tip: meat should always be salted after cooking on the griddle, so that its juices do not come
out prematurely.
10.3 Suggestions for using the vitroceramic hob correctly
In order to obtain good efficiency and adequate energy consumption, it is essential to use only
recipients that are suitable for electric cooking. The diameter of the base of the recipient must be
the same as the diameter of the outline of the cooking area. Energy is wasted if they do not
correspond.
The base of the recipient must be very thick and perfectly flat. It should also be clean and dry, as
should the glass on the hob.
Do not use cast iron pots or pots with a rough base, as they may scratch the surface.
When using the vitroceramic hob, it must be thoroughly cleaned before switching on the heating
elements.
The glass may be scratched if pans are placed on abrasive residues. Any scratches do not
however jeopardise the cooking procedure.
The ideal thickness for the base of the pans is:
x
x
2-3 mm in enamelled steel;
4-6 mm in stainless steel with double base.
Before cooking food with a high sugar content (e.g. jam), apply a protective product to the cooking
surface to prevent it from being damaged if the food spits or boils over.
10.4 Suggestions for using the oven correctly
The oven allows to optimise cooking. It is possible to cook traditionally, with convection and with
the grill.
The oven door should be completely closed for all types of cooking.
28
Instructions for the user
10.4.1 Traditional cooking
With this type of cooking, the heat comes from the top and the bottom. It is therefore preferable to
use the central guides. If the cooking requires a hotter temperature from the bottom or from the top,
use the lower or upper guides. Traditional cooking is recommended for all food that requires high
cooking temperatures, or long brazing times. This system is also recommended when cooking with
recipients made of terracotta, porcelain and similar materials.
10.4.2 Convection cooking
With this type of cooking, the food is heated by preheated air that is circulated in the oven thanks to
a fan located on the rear wall of the oven. Heat rapidly and evenly reaches all parts of the oven,
thus enabling different food to be cooked at the same time on different shelves. Humidity is
eliminated from the air and the drier area prevents odours and flavours from being spread and
mixed.
The possibility of cooking on more than one shelf allows you to cook many different dishes at the
same time. Biscuits and mini pizzas can be cooked in three different baking tins. The oven,
however, can also be used for cooking on a single shelf. The lower shelves can be used so that it
is easier to monitor cooking.
Convection cooking is particularly convenient for bringing frozen food rapidly back to room
temperature, for sterilising preserves or home-made fruit in syrup and, finally, for drying
mushrooms or fruit.
10.4.3 Cooking with the grill
The heat comes from the top. Almost all meat can be grilled, with the exception of lean game and
dishes such as meat-loaf. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly drizzled with oil and placed
on the grid bars, which should be placed in the guides closest to or farthest away from the grill
element, depending on the thickness of the meat, so as to avoid burning the surface and cooking
too little inside.
Suitable for: relatively thin meat; toasted sandwiches.
Pour 1 or 2 glasses of water into the dripping pan to avoid smoke forming due to drops of juice or fat.
While cooking with the grill, the dripping pan should always be positioned in the 1st guide from the
bottom.
10.4.4 Cooking with the ventilated grill
Using the combination of grill and fan
.
This type of cooking allows the heat to penetrate gradually inside the food, even though the surface
is directly exposed to the grill.
Suitable for: thicker meat; game-birds.
10.4.5 Cooking meat and fish
Meat to be cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kg. Very tender red meat to be cooked rare
(roast beef, fillet, etc.), or which should be well cooked on the outside and preserve all its juices on
the inside, require cooking on high temperatures for a short time (200-250°C). White meat, game-
birds and fish require cooking on low temperatures (150-175°C).
The ingredients for the sauce should only be placed in the baking tin if the cooking time is short,
otherwise, they should be added in the last half hour. Meat can be placed on an ovenproof plate or
directly on the grid bars, below which the dripping pan should be placed to collect the juice. Press
the meat with a spoon to check if it is done. If it is firm, it is cooked.
At the end of the cooking, wait at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat so as not to lose the
juices. Before serving, plates can be warmed in the oven at minimum temperature.
10.4.6 Baking
Beaten mixtures must stick to the spoon because excess fluidity would prolong the cooking time.
Sweets require moderate temperatures (generally between 150-200°C) and require preheating
(approximately 10 minutes). The oven door must not be opened until at least ¾ of the way
through the cooking time.

11.7 Cleaning the vitroceramic hob
The vitroceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible, when the latent
heat lights are off.
Any light-coloured marks caused by aluminium-based pans can be removed with a damp cloth
dipped in vinegar.
Any burnt residue left after cooking can be removed with a wooden spatula. Rinse with water and
dry well with a clean cloth.
Do not under any circumstances use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products,
oven sprays, stain-removers or metallic sponges).
Any grease deposits on the vitroceramic hob
can be removed more easily by heating it for
approximately 20-30 minutes (knob in
position 11). Afterwards, this residue can be
cleaned off with a wooden spatula. Allow the
surface to cool, rinse with water and dry well
with a clean cloth.
In the event that aluminium or plastic marks, sugar or food containing sugar melt on the cooking
surface, remove immediately while the surface is still warm with a wooden spatula. This will
prevent any damage to the surface.
The cooking surface of the vitroceramic hob is extremely resistant. It is not however unbreakable
and may be damaged, above all by pointed or hard objects if dropped onto it with a certain force.
Warning! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the cooker from the main supply
and do not use the appliance to avoid electrocution. Call Customer Services immediately.

11.8 Cleaning the oven
In order to preserve the oven well, it should be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible,
after leaving it to cool: in this way it is possible to remove any residue more easily, preventing it
from burning the next time the oven is used.
Clean the stainless steel parts and enamelled parts as described in the corresponding sections
“11.1 Cleaning stainless steel surfaces” and “11.2 Cleaning enamelled surfaces”.
Take out all the removable parts and wash them separately. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.
11.8.1 Cleaning the oven walls
Never use detergent products to clean this type of oven.
The walls of the oven can be cleaned using white vinegar and wiped with a cloth dampened with
water. Subsequently, heat the oven for at least one hour at 150°C to facilitate cleaning. When the
oven has cooled, wipe it again with a damp cloth.
11.8.2 Cleaning the oven door
We recommend always keeping the oven door clean. Use kitchen roll and on tougher dirt use a
damp cloth and household detergent.

12. Special maintenance
Periodically, it is necessary to maintain or replace some parts that are subject to wear and tear.
Specific instructions are given below for each type of maintenance.
Before carrying out maintenance, switch off the power supply to the appliance and close the
gas tap.
12.1 Removing the oven door
The oven door can be completely removed to enable more thorough cleaning. Though this
operation is possible, it should not be performed by everyone, as it requires the strength to hold up
the door and a minimum of expertise to re-fit it. If you are not sure of being able to do this, we
recommend that you clean the door without taking it off or, in special cases, that you contact the
nearest authorised service centre.
To remove the door, proceed as follows:
x
x
x
x
Open the oven door and release the safety catches of the hinges by turning the respective pins
A (one for each hinge) backward.
Partially close the door until there is no more load tension on the springs (the door will form an
angle of about 30°).
Using both hands, accompany the movement of the door towards closure and simultaneously
lift it upward.
Turn the lower part of the door towards the outside to free the hinges B from their seats.
If you need to remove any dry residues or dust deposited on the inner part of the windows, turn the
door upside down as shown in the figure, slide a soft bottle brush into the spaces between the
glass plates and brush gently.
To re-fit the door, carry out the instructions given above in the inverse direction. When the hinges B
are back in their seats, open the door all the way and re-fit the safety catches of the hinges,
lowering the respective pins A (one for each hinge).
CAUTION: After re-fitting the door, always be sure to re-fit the hinge safety
catches.
