Oven Features

General Features

The oven is furnished completely clean. It is advisable, however, upon first use, to turn the oven on to the
maximum temperature to eliminate possible traces of grease from the burner.
The same operation may be done with the grill burner.

According to the models, the following versions will be available:
– One gas burner (3,00 kW), located at the bottom, providing self-ignition and safety device
– One gas grill (2,30 kW), placed on the top, providing self-ignition and safety device.

IMPORTANT:
Ovens are supplied with a cooling device for the control panel.
The cooling fan switches on automatically, and will continue to run even if the oven is switched
off, until the correct temperature is reached.

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

Warning:
The door is hot, use the handle.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the hot heating element inside the oven cavity.

WARNING!!

The grill burner must be used with the door ajar only.
The cooling fan air flow (below the control panel) allows a
correct discharging of the hot air coming from the inside
of the cavity.
Do not use the grill burner if the cooling fan is not
operating (e.g. mains failure, cooling fan broken).

Thermostat Knob

The values from to printed on the facia panel
around the thermostat knob (fig. 2) show in a growing sequence
the oven temperature in °C.

Timer

The timer can be set to a maximum of 60 minutes. Turn the dial
clockwise to the maximum setting of 60 minutes then turn it anti­clockwise until it reaches the desired time. When the set time
expires the timer bell will sound.

Note:

The oven will not switch itself off at the end of the timed period.

Caution:

– If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at least 1 minute

before attempting to relight.

– Gas appliances produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed. Ensure that

the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or by installing an extractor
hood connected to an outlet duct.

– If the appliance is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventilation by

opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood (if fitted).

Lighting of Oven Burner

The thermostatic tap controlling the gas supply to the burner is
equipped with a safety device which automatically stops the gas
flow in case of flame extinction. The temperature is constantly
maintained on the set value.
The electric ignition starts up by pressing the thermostat knob.

A safety device prevents the electric ignition from
functioning when the oven door is shut.

To light the burner, you need to:

1 – Fully open the oven door.

2 – Press the thermostat knob (fig. 2) thoroughly to start up the

electric ignition and, keeping the knob under pressure turn it
anti-clockwise (fig. 4) to position

.
Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If
the burner has still not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior
to repeating the ignition.
To light the oven manually, approach a flame to the hole “A”
of the floor (fig. 5), then press and turn the thermostat knob.

3 – Wait about ten seconds after lighting the burner to release

the knob (priming time of the thermocouple).

4 – Adjust the thermostat knob on the desired setting.

If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to
position l, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
For a correct pre-heating, we suggest to remove tray and shelf
from the oven and introduce them again after 15 minutes.

ATTENTION: In case of manual lighting, never turn the
thermostat tap before approaching a flame to the hole
“A” of the floor.

Lighting of Gas Grill Burner

The thermostatic tap controlling the gas supply to the burner is
equipped with a safety device which automatically stops the gas
flow in case of flame extinction.
The electric ignition starts up by pressing the thermostat knob.

A safety device prevents the electric ignition from
functioning when the oven door is shut.

To turn on the grill burner:

1) Open the oven door.

2) Press thoroughly and turn clockwise the oven gas thermostat
knob fig. 6 to set symbol

.

To light the grill manually, put a flame to the right and left side

of the burner for 2-3 seconds after the thermostat has been
opened (fig. 7).

3) Wait about ten seconds after the burner lighting before
releasing the knob (time of priming of the valve).

Should the flame of the burner extinguish for any reason,
the safety valve will cut off automatically the gas flow to the
thermostat.

IMPORTANT: In case of accidental extinction of the
burner, turn off the control knob and wait at least one
minute before trying to ignite again.

For correct use see chapter “TRADITIONAL GRILLING”.

Remember to keep children away from the appliance
when you use the grill or oven, since these parts become
very hot.
