Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with
directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and relevant national regulations.
WARNING: the gas oven's door must be open when lit. The oven is fitted
with a safety system which cuts out burner ignition if the door is closed. If
you mistakenly attempt to light the burner with the door closed, open the
door and wait a few moments before trying again.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in
two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door
open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results.
