IMPORTANT: The oven will not light unless the oven door is fully open.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. ALLOW OVEN TO COOL BEFORE WIPING SPILLAGES. Should
a spill occur, allow surface to cool and wipe up the spillage from the cover over the burner, then
remove the burner cover by sliding it towards the front of the oven and lifting it out. Wipe up any
excess spillage that may have migrated into the base of the oven.
There are upto five cooking options available with ILVE gas ovens (depending on the oven size):
1. Static Gas Oven
2. Fan Forced Gas Oven
3. Fan Grill
4. Static Grill
5. Rotisserie (80cm + 90cm Ovens Only)
IMPORTANT: When your gas oven is being operated for the first time it is important to burn off
the protective oils that are used in manufacturing from the grill element. To do this see ( using
your grill element below ) and set the temperature to 9 and allow to burn for 15 minutes.
Lighting your gas oven
The oven will not light unless the oven door is fully open. To turn on the gas oven, open the oven door and turn the thermostat
knob (B) anti-clockwise to 250ºC and hold in for approximately 15 seconds. This will heat the thermocouple and allow the gas
to flow through. (You do not need to use the knob (A) marked 1-12 at this stage.) You can tell that the oven is alight, looking
through the small holes situated in the base of the oven you should see the flame.
Once the flame is lit, the door must stay open for 3 minutes (this ensures there is enough oxygen to keep the flame alight.)
Then with the temperature knob (B) select the temperature required. Temperature range is from 100°C – 250°C. To achieve
100°C on the temperature knob (not visibly marked), there is a section when you turn the knob (B) towards the off position
where it won’t allow the knob to move/turn anymore without the knob being pressed in (which turns the oven off), and this is
the 100°C gauge.
To turn the light on inside the oven whist cooking turn the Function knob (A) to the very first icon (square box with light picture
and rotisserie) this will turn the light on. At this stage the oven is heating from the base (gas flames are under the removable
floor). There are 5 shelf levels in your oven. Level 1 is the bottom and level 5 is the top. For most cooking it is recommended
to use shelf levels 3 or 4.
IMPORTANT - AFTER USING THE FAN ASSISTED MODE IN YOUR GAS OVEN, MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE
FAN OFF OTHERWISE THE GRILL WILL BECOME ACTIVE.
Using the different functions in your gas oven
To use the Fan Forced function in the gas oven, once you have closed the door turn the Function knob (A) past the number
12, you will feel a click and hear the fan activate. This is now Fan Forced Gas Oven mode.
To turn off Fan Forced, turn the Function knob (A) back to the light icon. The benefit of Fan Forced Gas Oven is that the heat
is distributed evenly through the whole oven. The rear fan circulates the air creating even temperatures inside the oven cavity.
Fan Forced is most beneficial when doing batch/multi level cooking.
Grilling
The Function knob (A) is for the grill function also. The grill is electric and will not work whilst the gas oven is on. To activate
the grill turn knob (A) clockwise to number 8. This is equivalent to 180C. You can use the grill as a static grill (normal grilling
with radiant heat) or you can choose to have fan grill.
Static Grill
This is great for an intense heat e.g. Cheese toast, oyster Kilpatrick, Crème Brule. Static grill cooking use Level 4 for the best
results.
Fan Grill
This is great for cooking meat e.g. – skewers, sausages, cutlets and chicken pieces (wings and drumsticks.) On this function
there is no need to turn the foods, the grill will brown the top of the food and the hot air which is being circulated by the rear
fan, will cook it from the underside, locking in the juices and keeping the heat inside the oven. To activate the fan grill, turn
knob (A) past the number 12 until you hear a click. This has activated the fan. Then turn the knob back to number 8 which is
the best temperature for fan grilling. Keep the door closed when using fan grill.
