USING THE APPLIANCE
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven.
Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
When the oven heats up for the first time, the characteristic smell of a new appliance will
be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly during the first operation.

- Correct choice of cookware allows optimum cooking
time and gas consumption. Cookware diameter is the
most important in this respect.
- If a pot or a pan is too small, the flames reaching over
the edge of its bottom will damage it. Moreover, gas
consumption will be higher.
- Combustion of gas also requires air. If the pot or pan
is too large, there is not enough air and the burning
eciency is decreased.
Gas hob reducer (only with some models) Use the gas
hob reducer when cooking in a container of smaller
diameter. Place it on the grid over the auxiliary burner.
Burner type Container diameter
Large (3.0 kW) 220—260 mm
Normal (1.9 kW) 160—220 mm
Auxiliary (1.9 kW) 120—140 mm
Multi-ring burner (3,5kw) 220—260 mm
TIPS REGARDING YOUR COOKWARE
GAS BURNERS
- To sear the food, set the burner to maximum power first, and then continue to cook at
minimum power.

BURNER IGNITION AND OPERATION (depending on the model)
Always press the knob before rotating it.
Cooking power levels are indicated on the knobs with a large and a
small flame symbol. Rotate the knob over the large flame position
to the small flame position and back. Operating range is
between the two flame symbols.
Settings between and are not recommended. In this range, the
flame is unstable and may be extinguished.
Place the pot or pan on the gr-id above the burner before
igniting it (applies to three-ring, double-ring, and mini-wok burner).
To turn off a burner, rotate the knob to the right to position .
Single-handed ignition
To ignite a gas burner, press the corresponding knob and rotate it
to the maximum power position. Electric spark from the spark plug
will be activated and the gas will ignite.
Two-handed ignition
To ignite a gas burner, press the corresponding knob and rotate
it to the maximum power position. Press the spark plug button.
Electric spark from the spark plug will be activated and the gas will
ignite.
Electric ignition will only work if the power cord is connected
to the power mains. If electric ignition does not work due to a
power supply failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can still be
ignited with a match or a lighter. After ignition, keep the knob
depressed for approximately 10 more seconds until the flame is
stabilized.
If the burner does not ignite in 15 seconds, close it and wait for at
least 1 minute. Then repeat the ignition process.
If the flame on a burner is extinguished (regardless of the
reason), close the burner and wait for 1 minute before trying to
ignite it again.

OVEN
CHOOSING THE COOKING SYSTEM
(depending on the model)
CONVENTIONAL OVEN HEATING WITH GAS
Press the knob and rotate it to the left to position . At the same time, press the ignition
device knob or hold a lit match to the oven burner ignition opening until the gas is ignited.
When the flame settles, set the desired heating power between 150 and 275 °C.
After ignition, keep the knob depressed for 10 more seconds until the flame is
stabilized.
Oven temperature is regulated by a thermostat. Immediately after ignition, the burner
operates with maximum power until the set temperature is reached. Then, the thermostat
automatically reduces the burner power to the level required to maintain the set
temperature. Temperature regulation will only work correctly if the oven door is closed.
HEATING THE OVEN WITH THE INFRARED HEATER
The heat is radiated by the infrared (grill) heater installed in the oven ceiling. It is used for
grilling.
- Gas oven
Press the knob and rotate it to the right to position . At the same time, press the
ignition device knob or hold a lit match to the oven burner ignition opening until the gas
is ignited.
After ignition, keep the knob depressed for 10 more seconds until the flame is
stabilized.

19

Infrared heater operation is not controlled by the thermostat; therefore, it operates
with full power.
- Electric oven
Press and rotate the knob. Grilling temperature is around 230°C. When this temperature
is reached, the heater is switched o and it is activated again when the temperature
drops to below 230°C.
During the ignition of the infrared burner keep the oven door
open. After two minutes, close the oven door.
Continue cooking with the infrared burner with the oven door
closed.
When using the infrared heater, keep the oven door closed.

DESCRIPTIONS OF COOKING SYSTEMS
AND COOKING TABLE
If your desired food cannot be found in the cooking table, find information for similar
food. The information displayed applies to cooking on a single level.
An interval of suggested temperature is indicated. Start with a lower temperature setting
and increase it if you find the food is not browned sufficiently.
Only preheat the oven if required by the recipe in the tables in this instruction manual.
Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Hence, baking several types of pastry
or several pizzas successively will save a lot of energy, as the oven will already be
preheated.
Use dark, black silicon-layered or enamel-coated baking sheets and trays as they conduct
the heat very well.
When using parchment paper, make sure it is resistant to high temperatures.
When cooking larger chunks of meat or pastry, a lot of steam will be generated inside the
oven, which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a normal phenomenon which
will not affect the operation of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the door
and the door glass dry.
Switch off the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process to
save energy by making use of the accumulated heat.
Do not cool the food in a closed oven to prevent condensation (dew).
