Using The Traditional Gas Oven - Zanussi ZBG 331 Instruction Booklet

Using the Traditional Gas Oven

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 control knob and turn it to the "Off
position"
2. Open the oven door and wait for at least 1 minute
before trying to light the oven burner again.
If the oven burner accidentally goes out, turn the
oven knob to the "Off" position and wait at least 1
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 oven gas
burner prevents the electric grill control knob to
operate.
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 times in the tables do not include pre-
heating. We recommend to pre-heat the oven for
about 10 minutes before cooking.
