OVENS
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 anymore 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 by
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 electric 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 260°C on the scale
matches the indicator (Fig.21A-21B for HYB oven and Fig.22A-22B for GEV model).
At the same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven
level. 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 t he oven door, then turn the knob to the maximum
temperature setting (260°C). Then press the thermostat knob (model with single-
handed knob ignition ). 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 one hand 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 4 guides at different heights level which can be used to
insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended
to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. The
table below lists the general cooking times and the position of the tray for different
types of foods. Personal experience will help to determine any variations in the
