Gas Connection
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions
(nature of the gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment conditions
are compatible. The adjustment conditions for this appliance are
stated on the rating plate which can be found on the back cover .
This appliance is not designed to be connected to a combustion
products evacuation device. Particular attention should be given
to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved
appliance flexible connection to BS 669. Models for use with LPG
should be fitted with a hose suitable for LPG and capable of
withstanding 50mbar pressure. 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
0
C.
Gas pressure may be checked on a semi-rapid hob burner . Remove
the appropriate injector and attach a test nipple. Light the other
burners and observe that the gas pressure complies with the gas
standards in force.
Certain types of cookers can be set for sypply both on the right
and lefthand side. In this case it is suf ficient to reverse the position
of the cad nipple reducer . At the end make sure than there is no
leakage of gas.
INLETSTOP
This appliance shall be installed in accordance whit the regulations
in force and only in a well-ventilated space. Read the instructions
before installing or using this appliance.
IMPORT ANT

be used for any other gas without modification.
Conversion for use on LPG and other gases must only be
undertaken by a qualified person. For information for use on other
gases contact your local Service Centre.
The cooker must be installed by a qualified person in accordance
with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) (Amendment) Regulations
1990 and the relevant building/I.E.E. Regulations.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any
manufacturers warranty and lead to prosecution under the above
quoted regulations.
In the UK, CORGI registered installers are authorised to undertake
the installation and service work in compliance with the above
regulations. All Comet authorised installers are CORGI registered.
Provision for V entilation
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 2: 1989. The room must have an
opening windows or equivalent; some rooms may also require a
permanent vent. If the room has a volume between 5 and 10m
3
,
it will require an air vent of 50cm
2
effective area unless it has a
door which opens directly to the outside. If the room has a volume
of less than 5m
3
, it will require an air vent of 100cm
2
effective
area. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room,
BS 5440: Part 2: 1989 should be consulted to determine air vent
requirements. Ensure that the room containing the cooker is well
ventilated, keep natural ventilation holes or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical cooker hood). Prolonged intensive
use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window , or more effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. This
cooker is not fitted with a device for discharging the products of
combustion. Ensure that the ventilation rules and regulations are
followed. Excess steam from the oven, vents out at the top back
edge of the cooker , so make sure that the walls behind and near
the cooker are resistant to heat, steam and condensation. Y our
cooker must stand on a flat surface so that when it is in position
the hob is level. When in position check that the cooker is level
by using a spirit level and adjust the 2 feet at the rear and the 2
feet at the front if necessary . It is import ant that the cooker is stable
and level for the overall cooking performance.
Remember that the quantity of air necessary for combustion must
never be less than 2m
3
/h for each kW of power (see total power
in kW on the appliance data plate).
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent
persons in accordance with the current edition of the Installation
& Use Regulations. It is in your interest and that of safety to
ensure compliance with the law .
In the UK, CORGI registered installers work to safe standards of
practice. The cooker must also be inst alled in accordance with BS
6172/1990. Failure to install the cooker correctly could invalidate
the warranty liability claims and could lead to prosecution.
A TTENTION:
The temperature shown on the control panel corresponds to the
temperature in the oven centre only when the functions selected
are or .
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.
Y ou obt ain very good results when cooking on a shelf adjusting
the temperature between 50 and MAX°C.
Fan oven
Both the fan and the circular heating element operate together .
The hot air adjustable between 50 and MAX°C is evenly distributed
inside the oven. This is ideal for cooking several types of food
(meat, fish) at the same time without affecting t aste and smell.
It is indicated for delicate pastries.
