JOCEL DECLINES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGES RESULTING FROM AN INSTALLATION THAT DOESN’T COMPLY WITH THE RULES IN FORCE

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

• For the gas cooker to work properly, it is necessary that sufficient air for gas combustion can flow naturally into the room.
• The airflow into the room must come directly through openings of external walls.

Combustion Products Discharge
Gas cooking units must discharge combustion products through hoods directly connected to flues or outside.  This electric fan must be powerful enough to ensure in a kitchen an air replacement of 3 to 5 times its volume per hour.

WARNING – If the oven touches the side of other pieces of the kitchen furniture, ensure they can withstand a temperature of 75℃.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before you connect the gas cooker, please check the voltage indicated on the rating plate to ensure that it corresponds to the main power supply available. Before connecting to the electric supply, make sure that:

1. The protection fuse and the domestic wiring are suitable to carry the total electric load of the cooker.
2. The electricity supply network (mains) has an efficient earth connection according to the established rules and existing regulations.

GAS HOSE CONNECTION
First, connect one end of the rubber hose to the gas regulator and tighten it with a hose clamp. Make sure all the control knobs are in the “off” position before connecting the gas supply. Connect the regulator to the gas tank and your unit is ready for use.

Whenever connecting the hose to the cooker please ensure: 

1. The hose does not exceed a length of 1 meter.
2. The hose must not be very tight or twisted and must not show any sharp bends or kinks. If there is a leak don’t repair it but replace it.
3. The hose must not touch the back of the cooker.

WARNING – USE THE CORRECT DOMESTIC GAS REGULATOR. DO NOT AN INDUSTRIAL. REGULATOR, FOR BUTANE DOMESTIC GAS 30 mbar.

CHILD SAFETY

• Take care, therefore that children do not attempt to play with it.
• Supervise children and pay attention that they do not touch surfaces or remain in the vicinity of the appliance when in use or when not completely cooled.

USING COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
We recommend that before you cook in your new cooker you heat the oven to 180℃for 2hrs to run in your new oven. After the oven cools wipe it out with hot water and a mild detergent. We also recommend cleaning the racks and shelves before use. When using the cooker for the first time you may notice the following:

• There may be a smell.
• There may be noises. This is also quite normal as new parts move and settle into place during the initial heating process.

DURING USE

• Do not use the lid for other purposes. Always clean the cover before closing.
• All the glass covers are removable to facilitate cleaning.
• Before close the cover please make sure to take out the wok adaptor.
• Always ensure that the knobs are in the “O” Off or Stop position when the appliance is not in use.
• Always insert the dripping pan when using the grill or when cooking meat on the grid. We recommend you pour a little water into the dripping pan to avoid grease burning and creating an unpleasant smell.
• Clean the dripping pan regularly to ensure food, fat, and grease do not build up and create a fire hazard.
• Before maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the appliance and allow it to cool down.
• Take care when using cleaning products in spray form: never direct the spray onto the electrical wiring, thermostat, and bulb.
• Ensure that air can circulate the gas appliance. Poor ventilation can result in a lack of oxygen and extinguish the flame.
• Ensure good ventilation of the room, keep adequate natural ventilation, or install an extractor hood with a discharge tube.
• In case of doubt ask the installer for advice
• Supply the appliance with the type of gas stamped on the relevant label situated near the gas connection tube.
• The gas oven becomes hot with the movement of air.
• Do not cover the sides of the oven with aluminum foil, particularly the lower part of the opening at the base of the gas oven.
• The appliance is heavy, move it carefully.
• To facilitate ignition, light the burners before placing pans on the grid. Check that the flame is regular.
• Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing the pan.
• USING THE GAS HOB BURNERS

INFORMATION

Make sure that burners are always in position and located correctly.

Ignition of the hob gas burners

To light up the burner, keep pushing the ignition button as indicated. Then push in the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum, and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds.

• The ignition will spark and ignite the burner. At this position, the gas supply is at its maximum and the flame is also at its maximum.
• You can reduce the flame size by turning the knob in an anti-clockwise direction to achieve your requirements.
• Should the burner fail to light up, turn the knob to its original position and try again.
• Your burner flame should be blue.

NOTE -When first used, the gas burner will not ignite immediately.

Air adjustment of the burner body
The mixing ratio of gas and air is important to provide complete combustion of gas and to obtain a blue flame.

USING THE GAS OVEN

Manual ignition of the Oven burner
Open the oven door, then push and turn the oven knob in an anti-clockwise direction to the maximum position, introduce a small flame or spark lighter to the small ignition hole located in the front of the oven burner cover on the bottom of your oven.

Manual ignition of the Grill burner
Open the oven door, then push and turn the oven knob in an anticlockwise direction to the maximum position and hold a flame near the gas grill burner holes.

• After a few minutes, check the temperature and adjust the oven control knob if necessary, to obtain the required level.

IMPORTANT SAFETY:
In the event the flame in the oven extinguishes by itself, please take the following steps below:

1. HUT OFF THE OVEN CONTROL KNOB ON THE GAS OVEN MODEL AND ALSO SHUT OFF THE THEGASCYLINDER VALVE.
2. DO NOT RE-IGNITE THE OVEN IMMEDIATELY.
3. OPEN THE OVEN DOOR TO LET OUT UNBURNTGAS FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
4. AFTER COMPLETING STEPS 1 TO 3, RE-IGNITE THE OVEN BURNER CAREFULLY WITH A SPARK GUN.

If the oven flame continues to go out or a similar phenomenon happens, please contact your nearest Service Centre.

USING THE OVEN LIGHT

• For gas ovens, the light is controlled by a push switch on the control panel.
• For an electric oven, this light continuously illuminates the oven when in use.
• The light switch is on the function selector.

USING MECHANICAL TIMER
To use the timer, turn the control knob clockwise to full setting first (step 1), then slowly turn it backward to the position of the time required (step 2).

NOTE – If you don’t turn the control knob clockwise to full setting, the timer will ring for a shorter period than normal, and maybe ring faster than the actual setting.

For baking cakes:

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes before use.
• Do not open the oven door when baking. The jet of cold air will block the raising block rising process of some cakes, pastries, and soufflés.
• Wait until at least 3/4 of the cooking time has passed before doing this check.

As a general rule remember that:

• On the contrary, a “dry” texture would have required a shorter time and a higher cooking temperature

For cooking meat:

• If you want to roast with a good color, use very little oil.
• If the piece of meat is lean, use oil or butter or a little of both.
• Butter or oil on the other hand unnecessary if the piece is a strip of fat. If the piece has a strip of fat on one side only, put it in the oven with this side upwards: When melting the fat will grease the lower side sufficiently.
• Place the roast in the oven in a dish having a low rim; a deep dish shields heat.
•  Begin cooking raw meat at a high temperature, reducing the temperature to finish cooking the inside. The cooking temperature for white meat can be moderate throughout.

cooking fish:

• Cook small fish from start to finish at a high temperature. Cook medium-sized fish
  initially at a high temperature and then gradually lower the temperature.
• Cook large fish at a moderate temperature from start to finish.
• white and opaque throughout, except in the case of salmon, trout, or similar.

For Grilling:

• The following types of meat are suitable for grilling. Mostly meat or offal cut in slices or pieces of various sizes, but not very thick, poultry cut in half and flattened, fish, some vegetables (e.g Courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, etc.), skewers of meat or fish, and seafood.

The “TIPS FOR OVEN COOKING” relating to cooking in the oven and by grill is provided as a guide. Experience will show possible variations to the values set out in the table.

NOTE –If in doubt, always carefully follow the indications given in the recipes you intend to follow.

Do not place any utensils such as dripping pans, cake tins, casseroles, Pyrex dishes, aluminum foil, or others on the base of the oven when the oven is in use. Accumulation of heat might affect the cooking results and also damage the oven enamel.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Before each operation, disconnect the unit by unplugging the socket and gas hose.

Oven lamp replacement

Cleaning the Door and Glass Hob Cover
Clean the oven door and glass lid only with warm water, and avoid the use of rough cloths or abrasive substances.

Cleaning the Oven

• Clean the oven cavity carefully after use when it is still warm.
• When the oven is slightly warm it is easier to take off deposits of fats or other substances such as fruit juice, sugar particles, or fat. You may use warm detergent water or an appropriate spray oven cleaner.
• Do not spray directly at the mat steel as this can damage them and pose a hazard. Clean the oven accessories (grate, hot plate, etc.) with warm water and detergent. Remove possible incrustations with a slightly abrasive powder.

WARNING – Never line any part of the oven with aluminum foil, particularly the bottom. It can result in an accumulation of heat which might affect the cooking results and also damage the oven enamel.

Gas Cylinder Safety

• Periodically check the condition of the flexible hose of the gas connection and have it replaced by skilled technicians as soon as it shows abnormalities.
• For a model with a gas cylinder compartment, do not use this space to keep a non-connected or empty cylinder.

Note – The gas cylinder may become warm during the operation of the cooker. This is normal. If, however, the cylinder becomes too hot to touch switch off the cooker and call your Customer Service Center.
