with the burners on. Always turn off the gas and allow the burners to cool before closing the cover. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the glass cover to shatter. Keep the cover open when using the oven.

Attention: before using the oven and grill for the first time, turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make sure that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the door open, and the room properly ventilated. The odor which can be detected at times is due to the evaporation off the substances used to protect the oven and the grill during the period between the time of production and installation of the appliance.

Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides.

Oven Light

The light comes on when the "M" knob is turned to the setting. The light illuminates the oven and remains on when any of the heating elements is turned on.

Grill

The top centre heating element will come on and the rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated.

The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill make it possible to brown meats on the surface while locking in the juices to keep them tender.

Double Grill
