! 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
140 145
The oven will automatically reach the temperature set, and
the thermostat, which is controlled by the knob, will keep
the temperature constant.

the burner allow the gas to circulate until the safety
thermocouple is heated by keeping the OVEN knob pressed
in for about 6 seconds.
! 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.
• Max
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
