With prolonged use of the appliance, it is indispensable to carry out regular maintenance for the safe functioning of the
appliance; we therefore recommend drawing up a contract for after sales service.
Maintenance must be done only by specialized personnel, observing the norms in force and our indications.
It is possible to substitute parts such as the valve, the piezoelectric lighter or gas pipes very simply. To substitute the
parts, proceed as follows:
• Valve: after removing the front panel, unscrew the screwed fittings (5-7-8-14) of the gas connections and take out
the thermostat bulb, then substitute the faulty parts, installing the new ones.
• To substitute the thermocouple, unscrew the pilot burner fitting, likewise the valve fitting and substitute the
element.
• The spark plug must be unscrewed and substituted.
Attention!
Before lighting the appliance, it is necessary to wash it with water and washing-up liquid, rinse thoroughly and fill with
oil up to the level marked on the back of the container.
Pilot burner ignition
Press and turn the valve knob (fig. B pos.8) round to the
Press the piezoelectric button (fig. B pos.7). The flame lights automatically and can be seen through the inspection hole
in the front panel (fig. B pos.4).
The flame could go out in which case repeat the steps.
Main burner ignition and setting the temperature
Turn the valve knob (fig. B pos.8) round to the
By turning the graduated thermostat knob (fig. B pos.1) from 100°C to 180°C gas flows to the main burner and it
ignites.
The green indicator (fig. B pos.2) stays alight and indicates mains voltage downstream from the switch (see wiring
diagram fig. F), the white indicator (fig. B pos.3) indicates that the main burners are working and will stay alight until
the set temperature is reached after which the pilot light stays on (fig. D)
Turning the main burner off
Turn the graduated thermostat knob (fig. B pos.1) round to position "0"; only the pilot burner flame stays alight (fig. D)
Turning the appliance off
Press and turn the valve knob (fig. B pos.8) round to position "O". This command stops gas reaching both the main
burner and the pilot burner.
The appliance is provided with a safety thermostat which interrupts the gas flow if the temperature of the oil goes above
the maximum set value (230°C). When the safety device intervenes, both the main burner and pilot burner go out.
If this happens, it is possible to restart by pressing down fully the red thermostat button after having removed the
control panel. If the problem occurs again, call in the after sales assistance.
To carry out this operation, it is necessary to open the outlet tap which can only be reached through the cabinet door
situated below. Before doing this, check that the filter and the oil collecting container are in the correct position.
NB: It is advisable not to do this when the oil is too hot.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISCHARGING GAS EMISSIONS
Type "A" Appliances (see data plate)
Type "A" appliances must discharge the products of combustion into extractor hoods or similar devices connected to
and efficent chimney, or directly outside. (Natural Discharge Fig.1)
If there is not a hood, as an alternative, an air extractor connected directly to the outside is acceptable, (Forced
Discharge Fig.2) but its capacity must not be inferior to what is established in item 4.3 of the UNI-CIG norm 8723.
