THERMOCOUPLE
SAFETY
VALVE
Bertazzoni
gas
ovens
are
equipped
with
a
thermocouple
safety
device
and
a
thermostat
to
set
the
proper
cooking
temperature.
The
thermocouple
opens
the
flow
of
gas
to
the
burner
only
when
hot.
Should
the
flame
go
off,
the
thermocouple
will
immediately
close
the
gas
flow
to
the
burner
eliminating
any
risk
to
your
home.
For
faster
activation
of
the
thermocouple,
always
light
the
burners
on
maximum
power.
This
will
allow
the
thermocouple
to
reach
the
optimum
temperature
in
the
fastest
time.
ATTENTION!
When
using
the
oven
for
the
first
time
it
should
be
operated

30
minutes

500°F/260°C
without
cooking
anything
inside

order
to
eliminate
any
moisture
and
odours
from
the
internal
insulation.
