8. USING THE OVEN

8.1 Warnings and general advice

When using the oven and the various heating elements for the first time, they should be heated to the
maximum temperature (

275°C

) for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing

process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

WARNING: the gas oven must be lit with the oven door open. The oven is equipped with a safety
system that blocks ignition of the burner if the door is closed. If you make a mistake in the
lighting procedure, open the oven door and wait a few moments before trying to light it again.

WHILE COOKING DESSERTS AND VEGETABLES DRIPPING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR
COULD OCCUR. THIS IS A NATURAL PHYSICAL PHENOMENON WHICH MAINLY OCCURS WHEN
PREHEATING HAS NOT TAKEN PLACE. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, OPEN THE DOOR A COUPLE
OF TIMES WHILE COOKING, TAKING GREAT CARE.
To  prevent  any  steam  in  the  oven  from  creating  problems,  open  the  door
in  two  stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To
access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent
the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

8.2 Cooling fan

This system keeps the door and internal components of the oven at a lower temperature through forced
recirculation of cool air, guaranteeing increased safety and a longer life for the electrical appliance.
The tangential cooling system remains active even after cooking has finished and continues working
when the oven has been switched off in order to disperse all the heat that has built up in side. This
mechanism allows all the furniture units surrounding the appliance to be protected, preventing them from
overheating.

8.3 Using the gas oven

8.3.1 Electronic spark ignition

Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it counterclockwise to
the maximum temperature; the electrical spark ignition is activated automatically.
When the oven is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up.
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, interrupt the attempt to light it, open
the oven door completely and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute.

8.3.2 Manual ignition

Open the oven door fully and turn the thermostat knob while keeping it pressed in.
Bring a lighted match close to the mouth of the flame pipe 

A

 at the centre of the

oven surface and press the thermostat knob. Once it is lit, keep the knob pressed
down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and make sure that it
has remained lit by looking through the inspection hole 

B

. The cooking

temperature is selected by turning the knob clockwise to the desired setting,
between 

MIN

 and 

275° C

.

If the burner is extinguished accidentally, a safety valve will be activated to interrupt the flow of gas. To light
it again, first turn the knob to the OFF position (

) and wait for about one minute. Then relight the gas

following the normal procedures.
