TIMED COOKING
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for
a set length of time, and/or shut o automatically. Delay start should not be used
for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.
NOTE: Before setting, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “To
Set the Time of Day” earlier in this section.
1. Press the function button repeatedly until the bar above Cook Time ashes and
then press the up arrow or down arrow to set the time frame for baking.
2. Press the function button repeatedly until the bar above End Time ashes and
then press the up arrow or down arrow to set the time to turn o the oven.
3. Set the cooking temperature and cooking mode by turning the Thermostat knob
and the Selector knob.
4. After following these steps, the bars above Cook Time and End Time will ash,
indicating that the automatic cooking feature of the oven is set.
11
For example: If cooking time takes 45 minutes and you want to nish cooking at
6:00.
1. Press the function button repeatedly until the bar above Cook Time ashes and
set the cooking time 45 minutes.
2. Press the function button repeatedly until the bar above End Time ashes and
set the nish time to 6:00.
After the above setting, the current time is displayed and the bars above Cook Time
and End Time will ash indicating that the automatic cooking feature is set. When
the clock displays 5:15, the oven will start cooking automatically, and the Cook Time
bar will ash.
COOKTOP USE
Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
1. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and
only used in a well-ventilated space.
2. 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).
3. Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation,
for example opening of a window, or more eective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite a burner, push down on the knob while rotating it counterclockwise,
until the knob indicator is aligned with the ignite icon .
For models with a safety valve - Once the ame is lit, hold the knob depressed
for about 3-4 seconds until the device keeps the burner automatically lit. If the
burner fails to ignite, wait one minute for the gas to dissipate before attempting to
reignite. Adjust the ame intensity by rotating the knob counterclockwise from MAX
(maximum) to MIN (minimum).
To turn o the burner, rotate the knob clockwise until the indicator on the knob is
aligned with OFF.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise until the indicator is aligned
with MAX. After the burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.
In the case of unintentional ame extinguishing, the safety valve intervenes by
shutting o the gas to the burners.
The electric igniter must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should the
burner not light, or should the burner be unintentionally turned o, immediately
close the burner, and wait at least 1 minute before repeating. Once ignited, adjust
the ame as desired.
12
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a diameter
FLAME TOO LARGE
FOR PAN SIZE
FIT PROPERLY
matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the ame coming up around the sides
of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only at-bottomed pans.
As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the ame down to a level sucient to maintain
boiling.
COOKWARE
MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE
The ame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use
small pans with high ame settings as the ames can lick up the sides of the pan.
Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.
USE BALANCED PANS
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center the pan over the
burner.
USE A LID THAT FITS PROPERLY
A well-tting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide
even heat and stability.

OVEN USE
COOKING WITH THE GAS OVEN
BAKING AND ROASTING
This oven features a gas burner located under the oven cavity which provides evenly
distributed heat from the bottom of the oven. The heat rises naturally to bake food
evenly.
The heated air circulating naturally, cooks meats to a avorful, crispiness outside
while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
BROILING
This oven features a gas burner located at the top of the oven cavity which provides
evenly distributed heat from the top of the oven.
The broil burner will remain on until the Oven Control knob is turned to the o
position.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The Temperature knob is used to select either the Bake or Broil Oven Mode.
BAKE
Push in on the Temperature knob, and then turn the knob counterclockwise to
•
automatically ignite the bake burner. Continue turning the knob to select the
required cooking temperature, between MIN (150°F) and MAX.
Oven Control Display
Illuminates when the oven is preheating.
•
Turns o when the selected cooking temperature has been reached.
•
BROIL
Push in on the Temperature control knob, and then turn the knob clockwise to
•
automatically ignite the broil burner.
NOTE: The broil burner will remain on until the Temperature control is returned
to the OFF position.
14
FEATURES CONTROL
Light
The oven cavity light turns ON automatically, when the Bake or Broil function is
selected, and remains on during operation.
Conv (Convection) Fan
During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the
oven. The movement of heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking
by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and
crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.
During convection cooking, the bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat
the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating,
the fan turns o immediately and the element(s) will turn o after 30 seconds. Once
the door is closed, the element(s) will turn back on.
NOTE: The convection fan may be turned on and o at any time
OVEN TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Baking is cooking with heated air. The lower bake burner is on which heats the air in
the oven cavity, baking the food with naturally circulating hot air currents.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and
rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size,
shape and nish of the baking utensil.
General Guidelines
For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1” - 1 ½” (2,5 - 3 cm)
•
space between utensils and oven walls.
Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
•
Check for doneness at the minimum time.
•
Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick nish), heatproof glass, glass-
•
ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from
•
recommended temperature.
Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
•
Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
•
Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the
•
oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This
will alter the cooking performance and can damage the nish of the oven.
Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
