The oven burner can be lit in different ways:
- Manual ignition: (always possible even in the event of a power failure):
To turn on the oven open the oven door and turn the knob to 260°C. At the same time put a lit match to the ignition
tube at the bottom of the oven (Figure 22). Then push down the thermostat knob (gas will start to flow), and hold it
down for 10 seconds, after the burner has been completely lit. Release the knob and make sure the burner stays
lighted, otherwise repeat the operation.
- Electric ignition (only for models fitted with this device):
In this case, open the oven door beforehand, push down and turn the knob to the maximum temperature 260°C.
Then push the thermostat knob (versions with ignition through knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has
been completely lit, then release the knob. Make sure the burner stays lighted, otherwise repeat the operation. For
cookers without ignition through knob, push down the thermostat knob and switch with the symbol of a spark on,
wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit, then release the knob. Make sure the burner stays
lighted, otherwise repeat the operation.
The ignition device must not be operated for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light after 15
seconds, stop, open the oven door and wait for at least 60 seconds before trying again.
NOTE: always light the oven with the oven door open. When using the oven, leave the cooker lid up, to
prevent it overheating.
WARNING: when using the oven for the first time, leave it on for 15 – 30 minutes at a temperature of about
250° before cooking anything, to eliminate moisture and odour from the internal seals.
During normal use of the oven, wait approximately 15 minutes after lighting the oven so that it preheats before
putting food in.
The oven has 5 grooves at different heights (Figure 23), to fit the racks or tray alike. To prevent getting the oven
too dirty, meat should be cooked on a tray or rack placed in the tray. Table 6 shows indicative cooking times and
the position of the tray for different types of foods. Personal experience will help in making any subsequent
changes to information in the table. In any case, we recommended following the recipe.
USING THE GAS OVEN FOR MODEL WITH DOUBLE CONTROLS
GAS OVEN:
All the gas oven cookers are equipped with a thermostat and safety device to adjust the cooking temperature. The oven
temperature is set by turning the knob counter clockwise to match the indicator with the temperature selected. The gas
oven can be combined with a gas grill or an electric grill. See the specific pages for use information.
When the cooker model allows the combinated use of gas oven and gas grill, the oven inner temperature is adjustable
within the limit indicated in TABLE 6.
FAN GAS OVEN:
Operating the fan of the oven by means of the appropriate switch situated on the control panel, the circulation of warm air
guarantees a uniform heat distribution. The preheating of the oven can be avoided. However for delicate baking, it is
preferable to warm the oven before introducing the baking-pan. The baking system with the fan convection changes in
part the various traditional baking notions. When roasting meat it is not necessary to turn the meat any more and for a
roast on the spit, it is not indispensable to use the spit-roaster, but is sufficient to put the meat directly on the grate.
With the use of the fan gas oven, the baking temperatures are slightly lower of about 10-15°C compared to those in use
with the traditional gas oven. The fan operation of the oven prevents the operation of the grill, which therefore cannot be
used with the fan in action.
The oven can also be used in a traditional way, (by not activating the fan) for foods requiring heat from the bottom, e.g.
pizza.
WARNING: If the burner flames are extinguished accidentally, turn off the control knob and do not try to relight
the oven until after at least 1 minute.
