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.
The gas oven operation is indicated by a blue light
Verify that aspect flame of the oven burner be completely blue and with an aspect as indicated in figure
NOTICE: when using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature of
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.
The oven is equipped with 4 guides at different heights level which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the
oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the
tray. The table below lists the general cooking times and the position of the tray for different types of foods. Personal
experience will help to determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is recommended to
follow the instructions of the specific recipe being used.
This type of oven is equipped with a fan. The fan convection creates forced-air circulation in the horizontal direction.
Thanks to this type of operation, the ventilated oven can be used for different types of cooking at the same time, without
changing the taste of each food. Hot-air circulation guarantees a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating the oven is not
necessary, but for very delicate pastries, it is recommended to heat the oven before inserting the trays.
The convection system partially changes the various notions about traditional cooking. Meat no longer needs to be
turned while it is cooking and the rotisserie is no longer needed to cook a roast on the spit. Just put the meat directly on
the shelf.
