Start-up and use

WARNING!

 The oven is provided 

with a stop system to extract the 

racks and prevent them from 

coming out of the oven (1).

As shown in the drawing, to extract 

them completely, simply lift the 

racks, holding them on the front 

part, and pull (2).

!

 The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed 

at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is 

well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The 

appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances 

used during the manufacturing process burning away.

Starting the oven

This knob is used not only to select the different oven modes, but also to 

choose the right cooking temperature for various foods from among the 

temperatures shown on the knob itself (the range is from 140°C to 240°C 

inclusive). The electronic ignition device of the oven is built into the control 

knob. To light the oven burner, press the OVEN knob in as far as possible and 
turn it anti-clockwise, setting it to position 

 (keeping the oven door shut). 

The oven is equipped with a safety device. After lighting the burner allow the 

gas to circulate until the safety thermocouple is heated by keeping the OVEN 

knob pressed in for about 6 seconds.

!

 The electronic ignition device of the oven burner must not be activated for 

more than 15 seconds. If the burner fails to light after 15 seconds, stop pressing 

the OVEN knob, open the oven door and wait for at least one minute before 

you try to light the burner again.

The cooking temperature is selected by matching the desired temperature with 

the reference mark on the control panel; the complete range of temperatures 

is shown below:

Min

•

150

•

180

•

220

•

Max

140 145

160

200

230 240

The oven will automatically reach the temperature set, and the thermostat, 

which is controlled by the knob, will keep the temperature constant.

Switching the oven on manually

In the event of a power failure, the oven burner can be lit manually:

1. Open the oven door.

2. Hold a match or lighter near the 

burner hole as shown in the figure, 

press knob 

F

 (see figure) in fully and 

turn it anticlockwise, setting it to the 

Max position.

The oven is equipped with a safety device. After lighting the burner allow the 

gas to circulate until the safety thermocouple is heated by keeping the OVEN 

knob pressed in for about 6 seconds.

3. Once the burner is lit, shut the oven door.

!

 If the burner flame is accidentally extinguished, turn the OVEN control knob 

to the off position, open the oven door and wait for at least one minute before 

trying to light the burner again.

The GRILL knob

Your oven is equipped with an electric grill. The extremely high and direct 

temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats 

and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also 

highly recommended for dishes that require a high surface temperature: 

beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...

Some examples of how the grill may be used are included in the “Practical 

Cooking Advice” section.

!

 When using the grill, the oven door must be kept shut.

!

 Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven - this could result in 

damage to the enamel coating.

!

 Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models 

are fitted with a cooling fan that blows air out between the control panel and 

the oven door.

!

 Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the 

oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Turnspit* 

To operate the rotisserie function (see 

diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 

1.

2. Place the rotisserie support in 

position 3 and insert the spit in the 

hole provided on the back panel of 

the oven.

3. Start the rotisserie using the knob 
to select 

;

Oven light

This is switched on by pressing the LIGHT button.

How to use the timer

1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise almost one complete 

revolution.

2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes shown 

on the knob with the indicator on the control panel.

3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected time has elapsed, a 

buzzer will sound.

!

 The timer does not switch the oven on or off.
