LIGHTING OF OVEN BURNER
IMPORTANT: The oven door must be
open during this operation.
To light the oven burner:
1 –
Open the oven door to the full
extent.
If this operation is not performed
you should not proceed to light the
oven.
2 – Lightly press and turn the thermostat
knob anti-clockwise to the maximum
position (fig. 2.2). Press the knob
firmly until the burner lights.
Never continue this operation for
more than 15 seconds. If the burner
has still not ignited, wait for about
1 minute prior to repeating the igni -
tion.
In case of mains failure, approach a
lighted match or taper to the opening
“A” (fig. 2.3) and immediately press
the knob firmly.
3 – Wait about 10/15 seconds after the
burner lighting before releasing the
knob (time of priming of the valve).
4 – Check that the burner has lit; if not,
turn the knob clockwise back to “
0
”, “
” or “ O ” (OFF) and repeat the procedu-
re from step 1.
5 – Close the oven door slowly and adjust
the burner according to the power re-
quired.
If the flame extinguishes for any reason,
the safety valve will automatically shut off
the gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven
control knob to OFF position (“
0

“ O ”), wait for at least 1 minute and then
repeat the lighting procedure.

minutes.

lighting, never turn the thermostat
before approaching a flame to the hole
“A” of the floor.
