7. USING THE OVEN
In models with analogue clock and timer knob, locate on the symbol.
7.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature
for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate
foods with unpleasant smells.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with
EEC directive 89/109 of 21/12/88 and national relevant regulations.
WARNING: the gas oven's door must be open when lit. The oven is fitted
with a safety system which cuts out burner ignition if the door is closed. If
you mistakenly attempt to light the burner with the door closed, open the
door and wait a few moments before trying again.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in
two stages; hold it open just a little (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to check or carry out other procedures on food during
cooking, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in
the oven temperature which will impair the cooking results. When the door is
opened the oven's internal fan cuts out automatically; it starts up again when
the door is closed.
7.2 Cooling fan system (on some models only)
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation a few minutes after the
oven is lit. Operation of the fan generates a normal air flow which comes out above the door and may
continue for a short time even after the oven is turned off.
7.3 Using the gas oven
7.3.1 Electronic spark ignition
Completely open the oven door and press the thermostat knob while turning it anti-clockwise to the
maximum temperature setting; this automatically activates the electric spark ignition device. Once the
burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
If the burner has not lit after 15 seconds, stop trying, leave the oven door open and wait 1 minute before
trying again.
7.3.2 Lighting the burner by hand
Completely open the oven door and turn the thermostat knob anti-
clockwise. Place a lit match close to the end of the flame pipe A in
the centre of the bottom of the oven and press the thermostat knob.
Once the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and check that the
burner has lit properly through the inspection hole B. The cooking
temperature is set by turning the knob clockwise to the value
required, between 50° and 275°C.
If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the knob to the off ( ) position and wait at least one minute
before trying to relight it.
