GENERAL INFORMATION

*

ATTENTION:

The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in the
room

in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated:
keep natural ventilation holes open or install
a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may
call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level
of mechanical ventilation where present.
Prior to installation, ensure that the local
distribution conditions (nature of the gas and
gas pressure) and the adjustment of the
appliance are compatible.

- Before using the appliance, remember to

remove

the protective plastic film present
on some parts of the appliance (facia-panel,
parts in stainless steel, etc.)

- Do not use the appliance for the purpose of
heating.

- When the appliance is not in use, we
recommend

you unplug it from the mains

electricity and shut the gas tap.

immediately shut the
main valve of the gas supply, unplug the
appliance from the mains. Never, under
any circumstances, pour water on burning

oil.

The first time the oven is used, it may give
off smells, these are caused by residues left
by the production processes and is quite
normal. Ensure there is adequate ventilation
in

the room before performing this action.

(It is necessary to heat up the oven at the
maximum

temperature for about 30-40

minutes in order to burn off these
residues). It is perfectly normal for the oven

to

smoke when first used; wait for the smoke

to stop before placing food into the oven.

ATTENTION: Always use the oven with the
oven door closed.

The oven is fitted with: a grill shelf for cooking
food in oven dishes or for placing directly on
the grill shelf itself, a drip-tray for cooking
sweets, biscuits, pizzas, etc., or for collecting
juices and fats from food cooked directly on
the grill shelf.
Note: The following tables provide a guide
for cooking some of the most popular dishes.
The cooking times recommended in these
