4 - GAS OVEN
GENERAL FEATURES
The oven is supplied completely clean; it
is advisable, however, upon first use, to
turn the oven on to the maximum tem-
perature (position ) to eliminate
possible traces of grease from the oven
burner. The same operation should be
completed for grill burner.
The gas oven is provided with two burn-
ers:
a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower
part of the oven (wattage: 6,20 kW)
b) Grill burner, mounted on the upper
part of the oven (wattage: 4,65 kW).
If hob burners are already in use it is
preferable to await about 10 minutes
before operating the oven.
OVEN BURNER
This carries out normal “oven cooking”.
The gas flow to the burner is regulated
by a thermostat which maintains the
oven temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is
assured by a thermostatic probe posi-
tioned inside the oven.
The probe must be always kept in its
housing, in a clean condition, as an
incorrect position or encrustment may
cause an alteration in the control of the
temperature.
IGNITION OF THE OVEN BURNER
The thermostat allows the automatic
control of the temperature.
The gas delivery to the oven burner is
controlled by a two way thermostatic tap
(oven and grill burners) with flame-fail-
ure device.
To light the oven burner operate as fol-
lows:
1) Open the oven door
2) Lightly press and turn the thermostat
knob anti-clockwise to max position
“”.
3) Press the knob right down to prime
the electric ignition.
WARNING: Risk of explosion! The
oven door must be open during
this operation.
In case of power cut, press the knob
and immediately approach a lighted
match to the opening “A” (fig. 4.3).
Never continue this operation for
more than 15 seconds. If the burn-
er has still not ignited, wait for
about 1 minute prior to repeating
the ignition.
4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the
burner lighting before releasing the
knob (time of priming of the valve).
5) Close the oven door slowly and adjust
the burner according to the power
required.
If the flame extinguishes for any reason,
the safety valve will automatically shut
off the gas supply to the burner.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven
control knob to position ●, wait for at
least 1 minute and then repeat the
lighting procedure.
