Using The Gas Oven - Electrolux EKG 6704 Instruction Booklet

Using the Gas Oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.
During cooking, the door should be opened
as little as possible to avoid heat loss, and
excessive fuel consumption.

To ignite the oven gas burner:
1. Press the gas oven control knob, turn it to 240
and wait for the flame to come on. This may
take 10-15 seconds. Do not release the knob
until the burner ignites. It is possible to check
the flame through the holes in the bottom of the
oven.
2. Upon ignition, keep the knob pressed for about
5/10 seconds, then release it and turn it to the
required setting.
!
If the oven burner does not light even after 15 seconds:
1. Release the gas oven control knob and turn it
to the "Off position".
2. Open the oven door and wait for at least one
minute before trying to light the oven burner
again.
If the oven burner accidentally goes out, turn
the gas oven knob to the "Off" position and
wait at least one minute before trying to light
the burner again.
The gas oven and the electric grill cannot be
used at the same time. The ignition of the
gas oven burner prevents the electric grill
control knob to operate.
When cooking with the oven and with the
grill, leave the lid open in order to avoid
overheating.
Oven safety device
The gas oven features a thermocouple; if for any reason
the flame should extinguish, the device will stop the gas
flow.
Cooking Chart
Cooking times do not include pre-heating
time. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
