The oven burner can be ignited in different ways:
- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off):
To light the oven, open the oven door and turn the knob at maximum position . At the same time put a lit match next to
the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level . Then press the thermostat knob (this makes the gas start to flow) and
keep it pressed, after the burner has been completely lit, for 10 seconds. Release the knob and make sure that the
burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
- Electric ignition
In this case, first open the oven door, then turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting. Then press the thermostat
knob to start the gas flow and the ignition spark. Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit and then
release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
The ignition device should not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after that period the burner still has not
been lit, do not use the device and open the door of the room or wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light
the oven again.
WARNING: when trying to light the oven, the door must always be open.

about 500°F/260°C without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the
internal insulation.
During normal oven use, after lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes before
putting in any food to preheat the oven.
