COOKTOP USE
Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
1. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and
only used in a well-ventilated space.
2. The use of a gas-cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
3. Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation,
for example opening of a window, or more eective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite a burner, push down on the knob while rotating it counterclockwise,
until the knob indicator is aligned with the ignite icon .
For models with a safety valve - Once the flame is lit, hold the knob depressed
for about 3-4 seconds until the device keeps the burner automatically lit. If the
burner fails to ignite, wait one minute for the gas to dissipate before attempting to
reignite. Adjust the flame intensity by rotating the knob counterclockwise from
MAX (maximum) to MIN (minimum).
To turn off the burner, rotate the knob clockwise until the indicator on the knob is
aligned with OFF.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise until the indicator is aligned
with MAX. After the burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.
In the case of unintentional flame extinguishing, the safety valve intervenes by
shutting off the gas to the burners.
The electric igniter must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should the
burner not light, or should the burner be unintentionally turned off, immediately
close the burner, and wait at least 1 minute before repeating. Once ignited, adjust
the flame as desired.
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a diameter
matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the flame coming up around the sides
of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only flat-bottomed pans.
As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to maintain
boiling.
15
COOKWARE
MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use
small pans with high flame setings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.
USE BALANCED PANS
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center the pan over the
burner.
USE A LID THAT FITS PROPERLY
A well-fiting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans provide
even heat and stability.

OVEN USE
COOKING WITH THE GAS OVEN
BAKING AND ROASTING
This oven features a gas burner located under the oven cavity which provides evenly
distributed heat from the bottom of the oven. The heat rises naturally to bake food
evenly.
The heated air circulating naturally, cooks meats to a flavorful, crispiness outside
while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
BROILING
This oven features a gas burner located at the top of the oven cavity which provides
evenly distributed heat from the top of the oven.
The broil burner will remain on until the Oven Control knob is turned to the off
position.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The Temperature knob is used to select either the Bake or Broil Oven Mode.
BAKE
•
Push in on the Temperature knob, and then turn the knob counterclockwise to
automatically ignite the bake burner. Continue turning the knob to select the
required cooking temperature, between MIN (150°F) and MAX.
Oven Control Display
• Illuminates when the oven is preheating.
• Turns off when the selected cooking temperature has been reached.
BROIL
•
Push in on the Temperature control knob, and then turn the knob clockwise to
automatically ignite the broil burner.
NOTE: The broil burner will remain on until the Temperature control is returned
to the OFF position.
17
FEATURES CONTROL
Light
The oven cavity light turns ON automatically, when the Bake or Broil function is
selected, and remains on during operation.
Conv (Convection) Fan
During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the
oven. The movement of heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking
by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and
crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.
OVEN TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Baking is cooking with heated air. The lower bake burner is on which heats the air in
the oven cavity
, baking the food with naturally circulating hot air currents.
Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and
rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the
size, shape and finish of the baking utensil.
General Guidelines
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1” - 1 ½” (2,5 - 3 cm)
space between utensils and oven walls.
• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.
• Check for doneness at the minimum time.
• Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heat
proof glass,
glass-ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.
• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from
recommended temperature.
• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning.
Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.
• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the
oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it.
This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven
• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.
• See Troubleshooting for tips to Solving Baking and Roasting Problems.
