GAS OVEN OPERATION
THERMOCOUPLE SAFETY VALVE
Bertazzoni gas ovens are equipped with a thermocouple safety device and a thermostat to set the proper cooking temperature.
The thermocouple opens the flow of gas to the burner only when hot. Should the flame go off, the thermocouple will immediately close the gas flow to the burner eliminating any risk to your home.
For faster activation of the thermocouple, always light the burners on maximum power. This will allow the thermocouple to reach the optimum temperature in the fastest time.
ATTENTION!
When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15‐30 minutes at a temperature of about 500°F/260°C without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the internal insulation.
ELECTRIC IGNITION
WARNING!
Always keep the oven door open when lighting
the oven.
Do not operate ignition device for more than 15 seconds. If after that period the burner has not been lit, open the oven door and wait 60 seconds before trying to light the oven again.
With the oven door partially open, turn the control knob to the maximum temperature setting (
position).
Press the control knob to start the gas flow and the ignition spark.
Wait 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit before releasing the knob. This will allow the thermocouple to reach its operating temperature.
The gas oven operation is indicated by a blue light on the left side of the control panel.
Before closing the oven door, visually check that the flame is on through the portholes on the oven compartment bottom panel. If no flame is visible, repeat the procedure.
After lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes before putting food in to preheat the oven.
WARNING
If the oven burner flame is extinguished accidentally during operation, turn the temperature control knob counter‐clockwise to the off position. Wait at least 60 seconds before attempting to light the oven again.
