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.

Thermostat Light (I)

This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the set- ting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.

Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control

panel with the symbol on the timer knob.

Using the oven

When the oven control knob (M) is turned in a clockwise

direction to the symbol the fan and oven light will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating further to the complete range of temperatures shown on the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the food you are going to cook. The temperature is reached automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from 50°C to 240°C).

Note: Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking knob (O) must be set with “MAX” in line with the reference mark on the control panel.

Grill

The top centre heating element will come on and the rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. On this setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the downward direction by the electric heating element. 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

Both of the top heating elements turn on and the rotisserie motor (if present) is activated.

This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by 50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in the corners of the oven.

Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be left partly open by positioning the deflector “D” between door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.

Cooking Control Timer Knob

Some models are equipped with a timer program to control when the oven shuts off during cooking.To use this feature, you must wind the "P" knob one full turn in the counter-

clockwise direction ;Then, turn the knob in the clockwise

direction , to set the time by matching up the indicator on the control panel with the number of minutes on the knob.

At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will sound and automatically turn off the oven.

Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control

panel with the symbol on the timer knob.

When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can be used like a normal timer.
