Operating the appliance
You have already learnt about the controls and how
they work. Now we will explain how to set your
appliance. You will learn about what happens when you
switch the appliance on and off, and how to select the
operating mode.
Setting the oven's lower gas burner
When the lower gas burner is lit, you can start to bake
on a baking tray when the oven door is closed.
Preheat the empty oven for 15 minutes and start
baking.
Example in diagram: Baking at 170 °C.
1.
Open the top cover, if available. Keep the top cover
open for as long as the appliance is in operation.
2.
Turn on the main gas supply to the appliance. Insert
the plug into the socket. Open the oven door.
3.
Push in the function selector and turn it anti-
clockwise to the ignition position
8
.
Use the igniter to ignite the gas that escapes from the
lower oven gas burner.
4.
Keep the function selector pushed in and turn it to
170 °C.
Keep the function selector pushed in for 10 seconds so
that the safety pilot starts up.
5.
Check through the opening in the oven's bottom
panel that the flame is burning. If the flame goes out
again, repeat the process from step 3.
6.
Close the oven door carefully.
7.
Once the food is cooked, switch off the function
selector.
You can use the relevant selector to change the heating
function and temperature at any time.
Do not press the selector for longer than 15 seconds. If
the burner does not ignite within 15 seconds, wait at
least one minute before repeating the procedure.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
