system:
• Immediately turn off the gas supply or
close the valve on the gas cylinder.
• Extinguish all open flames and cigarettes.
• Do not turn on power switches or
appliances and do not remove plugs
from power sockets. Do not use phones
or mobile phones inside the building.
• Open the window in order to ventilate
the room.
• Call customer assistance services or your
gas supplier.

• The burners do not ignite properly.

First use
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance's
accessories (see 4 Cleaning and
maintenance).
4. Heat the empty oven at the maximum
temperature to burn off any residues left
by the manufacturing process.
3.1 To save energy
• Preheat the appliance only if the recipe
requires it.
• Unless differently stated on the package,
defrost frozen food before placing it in
the cooking compartment.
• In case of multiple cooking, it is
recommended to cook food one after
the other to exploit the already hot
cooking compartment.
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to
absorb the heat better.
• Remove all trays and racks which are not
required during cooking.
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the cooking compartment clean at
all times.
