sequence the oven temperature in °C.

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.

CAUTION:

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.

CAUTION:

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. 1.2) thoroughly to start up the electric ignition and,

keeping the knob under pressure turn it anti-clockwise (fig. 1.4) 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.

1.5), 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 , 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.
