4.2.3 Turning on the gas oven
• To light the gas oven pilot flame, press and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the po-
sition shown as item 20 in Fig. 4;
• hold down the knob and at the same time push the ignition button (see item 8 in
Fig. 2 further above);
• check pilot flame lighting through the viewing hole located in the bottom plate of
the cooking chamber;
• after lighting the pilot flame, hold down the knob for 15 more seconds in order for
the thermocouple to heat. If the pilot flame goes out when you release the knob,
repeat the operation;
• oven temperature can be controlled within a range between positions shown as
item 21 and item 22 in Fig. 4 (80-300°C/176-572°F and all values in between);
• to turn off the main burner, turn the knob clockwise to the position shown as item
20;
• to turn off the pilot flame as well, turn the knob clockwise to the "OFF" position
(item 19).
An unpleasant smell the very first time it is operated can be considered as completely nor-
mal. In fact, this is due to the overheating of insulating materials and residues of oil used
during the metal working process. The first time you turn the oven on, don’t place any
food in the cooking chamber and set the temperature to 300°C (482°F) until the smell dis-
appears.
