! The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may
produce a slightly unpleasant odour caused by the
burning away of protective substances used during
the manufacturing process.
Starting the oven
This knob is used not only to select the different oven
modes, but also to choose the right cooking
temperature for various foods from among the
temperatures shown on the knob itself (the range is
from 140°C to 240°C inclusive). The electronic ignition
device of the oven is built into the control knob. To
light the oven burner, press the OVEN knob in as far
as possible and turn it anti-clockwise, setting it to
position

(keeping the oven door shut). The oven is
equipped with a safety device. After lighting the
burner allow the gas to circulate until the safety
thermocouple is heated by keeping the OVEN knob
pressed in for about 6 seconds.
!
The electronic ignition device of the oven burner
must not be activated for more than 15 seconds. If the
burner fails to light after 15 seconds, stop pressing
the OVEN knob, open the oven door and wait for at
least one minute before you try to light the burner
again.
The cooking temperature is selected by matching the
desired temperature with the reference mark on the
control panel; the complete range of temperatures is
shown below:
Min • 150 • 180 • 220 • Max
140 145 160 200 230 240
The oven will automatically reach the temperature set,
and the thermostat, which is controlled by the knob,
will keep the temperature constant.
Switching the oven on manually
In the event of a power failure, the oven burner can be
lit manually:
1. Open the oven door.
2. Hold a match or
lighter near the burner
hole as shown in the
figure, press knob F
(see figure) in fully and
turn it anticlockwise,
setting it to the Max
position.....
The oven is equipped with a safety device. After
lighting the burner allow the gas to circulate until the
safety thermocouple is heated by keeping the OVEN
knob pressed in for about 6 seconds.
3. Once the burner is lit, shut the oven door.
! If the burner flame is accidentally extinguished, turn
the OVEN control knob to the off position, open the
oven door and wait for at least one minute before
trying to light the burner again.
The GRILL knob
Your oven is equipped with an electric grill. The
extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and
roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender.
The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high surface temperature: beef steaks, veal,
rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...
Some examples of how the grill may be used are
included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” section.
!
When using the grill, the oven door must be kept
shut.
!
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven -
this could result in damage to the enamel coating.
!
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
