The various functions featured with the oven are control-
led using the knobs and buttons on the control panel.

knobs is shown by a symbol of a solid ring:
the burners, hold a lighted match or lighter near the burner.
Press down and turn the corresponding knob in the counter-
clockwise direction to the maximum
can be operated at its maximum, minimum or intermediate
power. Shown on the knob are the different symbols for off
(the knob is on this setting when the symbol lines up with the
reference mark on the control panel), for maximum
minimum .
To obtain these settings, turn the knob counter-clockwise
with respect to the off position. To turn off the burner, turn the
knob clockwise until it stops (corresponding again with the
symbol).
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air. The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Oven Control Knob (M)
This knob allows you to select the various features of the
oven a'nd to set the most appropriate cooking tempera-
ture from among those indicated on the knob itself (be-
tween Min and Max).
To light the oven burner, hold a lighted match or lighter near
the "F" hole and, at the same time, press down and turn the
oven knob counter-clockwise to the Max setting.
The models is equipped with a safety device on oven
burner which makes it necessary to keep the knob
pressed in for about 6 seconds after the burner has been
lighted to allow the gas to pass through freely.
Important Notice: In the event the flame for the oven or the
grill accidentally goes out, turn the control knob for the burner
to the off position and do not relight the burner for at least one
minute.

yond the bottom of the cookware.
