The label in the food warmer drawer (or on the back) of the appliance indicates the appliance adjustment conditions: type of gas and operating pressure.
4) Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm spanner, and replace them (Fig.8) with those needed for the new type of gas according to what is indicated in Table 1 for model VEF61EG and in Table 2 for model VEF91EG.
Fig. 8 2) Burner "MINIMUM" adjustment: Work surface burner adjustment: follow the instructions below to adjust the work surface burner minimum: 1) Light the burner and set the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame). 2) Remove the knob of the valve that is press fit on the rod of that valve. 3) If the cooker is not equipped with safety valves on the surface burners, insert a small slotted screwdriver into the hole on the valve rod (Fig.

Letter L (phase) = brown wire; Letter N (neutral) = blue wire; Ground symbol = green-yellow wire; Fig. 17 The power cord must be positioned so that a temperature of 75°C will not be reached at any point. Do not use reductions, adapters or splitters since they might cause false contacts and lead to dangerous overheating.
Fig. 18 APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE ATTENTION: IMPORTANT WARNINGS For cookers resting on a base ATTENTION: If the cooker rests on a base, take the measures necessary to prevent the cooker from sliding along the support base. For cookers with glass covers ATTENTION: Before opening the appliance’s glass cover, carefully remove all liquid residues from the top of it.

USING BURNERS A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. The burners can be ignited in different ways depending on the type of appliance and its specific characteristics. Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off): Turn the knob anticlockwise that corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig.23A- 23B-23C) and hold a lit match to the burner.
WARNING: If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches. When cooking foods with oil and fat, which are very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance unattended. If the appliance is equipped with a glass cover, the cover may break when heated. Turn off all burners before lowering the cover. Do not use sprays near the appliance when it is being used.
For a correct use remember the following: Dry the bottom of the pan before putting it on the plate. Use pans with a flat bottom and in thick metal (Fig. 25 ). Fig. 25 Never use pans which are smaller than the plate. Switch on the current after you have put the pan on the plate.

26C-26D). At the same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level (fig.27A for cooker type VEF61EG) (fig.27B for cooker type VEF91EG). Then press the thermostat knob (this makes the gas start to flow) and keep it pressed, after the burner has been completely lit, for 10 seconds.

During normal oven use, after lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes before putting in any food to preheat the oven. The oven is equipped with 5 guides at different heights (Fig.28) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray.
USING THE THERMOSTAT WITH SWITCH IN SERIES (COOKERS WITH A SINGLE-CONTROL CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC OVEN) The electric oven is controlled by an electric thermostat combined with a switch used to turn on the elements. The electric oven can be combined with an electric grill. The oven is heated by 2 elements: one on the top and one on the bottom.
(2400W) and the electric fan have been turned on; indicates that only the electric fan has been turned on. For Type VEF91EG: indicates that only the oven light is turned on; indicates that the bottom element (1800W)and the top external element (1200W) have been turned indicates that only the top external element (1200W) has been turned on;...
USING THE NATURAL CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC OVEN When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250°C to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation. During normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using the thermostat knob and wait until the orange light turns off before putting in any food.

The gas grill can be used to grill foods on the oven shelf or using the rotisserie. Grilling on the shelf In this case, the shelf supplied is placed on level 1 or 2 and the foods to be grilled are placed on top, while the tray is inserted on the lower levels to collect the cooking juices.
USING THE CONVENTIONAL ELECTRIC GRILL The electric grill can also be combined with the gas oven or electric oven. In both cases, the grill is controlled using the oven’s temperature knob (see also, Using the gas or electric oven). Like the gas grill, the electric grill can be used for grilling on the oven’s grill or using the roasting spit.
ANALOGUE CLOCK WITH TIMER (Fig. 38) The analogue clock with timer lets you know when the cooking is finished thanks to an acoustic signal. To set the clock, push and turn the pivot clockwise until you reach the chosen time; release the pivot, then turn it clockwise again (without pushing) until the ring is positioned on the crossed bell: in this way only the clock will be functioning.
Setting error identification The setting is correct if the time of day is in between the calculated cooking start and end times. If an error has been made, this will be indicated by the audible signal and by the symbol “A” flashing. The faulty setting can be corrected by changing one or both functions.
