6.3 Using the gas oven
6.3.1 Electronic spark ignition
Completely open the oven door and press the
thermostat knob while turning it anti-clockwise
to the maximum temperature setting; this
automatically activates the electric spark
ignition device. Once the burner has ignited,
keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds
to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
If the burner has not lit after 15 seconds, stop
trying, leave the oven door open and wait 1
minute before trying again.
6.3.2 Lighting the burner by hand
Completely open the oven door and turn the
thermostat knob Anti-clockwise. Place a lit
match close to the end of the flame pipe A in the
centre of the bottom of the oven and press the
thermostat knob. Once the burner has ignited,
keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds
to allow the thermocouple to heat up and
check that the burner has lit properly through
the inspection hole B. The cooking temperature
is set by turning the knob clockwise to the
value required, between 50° and 231°.
If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the
knob to the off ( ) position and wait at least
one minute before trying to relight it.

6. USING THE OVEN
6.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first
time, they should be heated to the maximum
temperature for long enough to burn off
any oily residues left by the manufacturing
process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam
inside the oven, open the door in two stages: hold
it open just a little (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds,
then open it completely. If you have to check
or carry out other procedures on food during
cooking, leave the door open for a short time to
prevent a drop in the oven temperature which will
impair the cooking results.
6.2 Cooling fan system (on some models
only)
The appliance is equipped with a cooling
system which comes into operation a few
minutes after the oven is lit. Operation of the
fan generates a normal air flow which comes
out above the door and may continue for a
short time even after the oven is turned off.
