USING THE GAS OVEN
GAS OVEN:
All the gas oven cookers are equipped with a thermostat and safety device to adjust the cooking temperature.
The oven temperature is set by turning the knob counterclockwise to match the indicator with the temperature
selected. The gas oven can be combined with a gas grill or an electric grill. See the specific pages for use
information.
FAN GAS OVEN:
Operating the fan of the oven by means of the appropriate switch situated on the control panel, the circulation
of warm air guarantees a uniform heat distribution. The preheating of the oven can be avoided. However for
delicate baking, it is preferable to warm the oven before introducing the baking-pan. The baking system with
the fan convection changes in part the various traditional baking notions. When roasting meat it is not
necessary to turn the meat any more and for a roast on the spit, it is not indispensable to use the spit-roaster,
but is sufficient to put the meat directly on the grate.
With the use of the fan gas oven, the baking temperatures are slightly lower of about 10-15°C compared to
those in use with the traditional gas oven. The fan operation of the oven prevents the operation of the grill,
which therefore cannot be used with the fan in action.
The oven can also be used in a traditional way, (by not activating the fan) for foods requiring heat from the
bottom, e.g. pizza.
WARNING: If the burner flames are extinguished accidentally, turn off the control knob and do not try to
relight the oven until after at least 1 minute.

The oven burner can be ignited in different ways:
- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off):
To light the oven, open the oven door and turn the knob so the no. 8 on the scale matches the indicator (fig.41-
42). At the same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level (fig.43). Then
press the thermostat knob (this makes the gas start to flow) and keep it pressed, after the burner has been
completely lit, for 10 seconds. Release the knob and make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat
the operation.
- Electric ignition (only for the models equipped with this device):
In this case, first open the oven door, then press and turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting Then
press the thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been
completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
As for cookers without ignition trough knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, wait
about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner
remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.
The ignition device should not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after that period the burner still has
not been lit, do not use the device and open the door of the room or wait at least 60 seconds before
trying to light the oven again.
WARNING: when trying to light the oven, the door must always be open. When using the oven, leave the
cooker cover open to prevent it from overheating.
NOTICE: when using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature
of about 250° without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the
internal insulation.
During normal oven use, after lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes
before putting in any food to preheat the oven. The oven is equipped with 5 guides (Fig.44) at different heights
