The installation of this gas cooker must be carried out by a qualified and authorized technician in accordance with local regulations and safety standards. Incorrect installation can lead to serious injury or damage.

3.1 Unpacking

• Carefully remove all packaging materials from the cooker.
• Inspect the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not install a damaged appliance.
• Retain packaging for potential future transport or return.

3.2 Placement Requirements

• Place the cooker on a stable, level surface.
• Ensure adequate clearance from adjacent walls and cabinets as specified by local building codes and the appliance's safety requirements.
• The area must be well-ventilated. Do not install in a confined space without proper ventilation.

3.3 Gas Connection

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Using the Gas Burners

1. Preparation: Place your cooking pot or pan centrally on the burner grate.
2. Ignition: Push in and turn the corresponding burner control knob counter-clockwise to the maximum flame setting. The self-ignition system will spark, igniting the gas. Hold the knob in for a few seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up and keep the flame lit.
3. Adjusting Flame: Once lit, release the knob and adjust the flame size by turning the knob between the maximum and minimum settings. A stable blue flame indicates proper combustion.
4. Turning Off: Turn the control knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position. Ensure the flame is extinguished.

Caution: Do not leave cooking unattended. Ensure the flame is always under the pot and does not extend up the sides.

4.2 Using the Oven

1. Preparation: Ensure the oven is empty and clean before use. Place oven racks at the desired height.
2. Ignition: Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature or setting. The oven will ignite automatically. Hold the knob in for a few seconds after ignition.
3. Preheating: Allow the oven to preheat to the desired temperature before placing food inside. The oven fan (if equipped) will help distribute heat evenly.
4. Monitoring: Use the heat-resistant glass door to monitor cooking progress without opening the oven, which can cause heat loss.
5. Grill Function: If your model includes a grill, refer to the specific markings on the oven control knob for grill operation. Use caution as grilling surfaces become extremely hot.
6. Turning Off: Turn the oven control knob to the 'OFF' position.

Warning: The oven door and surrounding surfaces become very hot during operation. Use oven mitts and avoid direct contact.
