2 - HOW TO USE THE FAN OVEN
Technical Features
The oven is furnished completely clean.
It is advisable however, upon rst use, to turn the oven on to the maximum temperature to
eliminate possible traces of grease from the oven burner.
The same operation shall be done with the gas grill.
This oven is tted with:
−One gas oven burner (2,70 kW), located at the bottom, providing self-ignition and
safety device.
−One gas grill burner (2,10 kW), placed on the top, providing self-ignition and safety
device.
−A fan motor, positioned on the back panel of the oven cavity, which can be used:
• in combination with the oven gas burner;
• alone, without heating.
IMPORTANT NOTE - It is not possible to use the fan motor in combination with
the gas grill: a safety device switches off the fan motor when the gas oven/grill
control knob is turned on grill position.
Operating Principles
Heating and cooking in the gas oven are obtained in the following ways:
a. by Normal Convection
The heat is produced by the oven gas burner.
b. by Forced Convection
The heat produced by the oven burner is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.
c. by Radiation
The heat is radiated by the gas grill.
d. by Ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only without oven burner (this is not a cooking
function).
Cooling Fan Motor
This appliance incorporates a safety cooling fan motor to achieve optimum efciency of the
controls, ensure lower surface temperatures are maintained and cool the internal compo-
nents.
The cooling fan motor turns on automatically when igniting the oven or grill burner.
It may run on (for various minutes) even after the oven or grill burner has been turned off.
The duration of this time is dependent on previous cooking temperature and duration.
ATTENTION:
The oven door becomes very hot during operation and very hot steam goes out from
the area below the control panel. Keep children away.
The door is hot, use the handle.
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
−Do not use the appliance in case of power failure or if the cooling fan motor is
damaged. The appliance may overheat and get damaged due to the non-opera-
tion of the cooling fan motor.
−In case of failure of the cooling fan motor during the operation of the gas oven or
grill, the oven or grill burner is turned off automatically after about 20 minutes.
In that case do not use the appliance and contact the after-sales service.
−When the cooling fan motor is operating correctly there is an air ow in the top
area of the appliance (g. 2.1).
Oven Burner
The gas ow to the burner is regulated by a thermostat which allow to maintain the oven
temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is assured by a thermostatic probe positioned 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.
Moreover, the thermostat is tted with a safety valve which automatically shuts off the gas
supply when the ame goes out.
Thermostat
The numbers printed on the control panel (g.
2.2) indicate the increasing oven temperature
value.
To regulate the temperature, set the knob to
the chosen number. The symbol close to
the maximum position indicates that the elec-
tric ignition is incorporated into the knob (acti-
vated by the knob itself).

Cooking Guide
Your gas oven is a newly designed oven which incorporates an indirect burner located
under the oven base plate.
If you have previously been used to cooking with gas you may need to slightly alter your
cooking methods.
The bottom of the oven is hot and is ideal for browning the underside of shallow pastry
dishes and pizzas.
Other items should be cooked nearer the top of the oven.
When baking cakes, scones etc on more than one shelf the best results will be achieved by
swapping the shelf positions over half way through the cooking process.
Safety
NEVER allow fat to build on the oven base.
As with all ovens, clean and empty fat regularly from the trays and oven base to avoid the
possibility of fat res.
The oven incorporates a safety cooling fan motor to achieve optimum efciency of the con-
trols, ensure lower surface temperatures are maintained and cool the internal components.
However, the oven door can become hot - keep children away from this appliance.
NEVER place anything on the bottom of the oven.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil.
Do not place baking trays or the drip tray on the base of the oven chamber.
