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 (left oven) or 440°F/227°C(right oven) 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.
Warning: Do not use the gas oven or broiler in
case of electric power failure
Open the oven door, turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting, press well the knob for 1 sec. And relase it, the automatic ignition system will automatically generate the spark for 5 seconds and will engage the termocouple. Then check that the oven burner flame is and remain correctly lit, and clese the door.
Do not press the oven knob for more than 2,5 sec. otherwise automatic ignition system lock itself and it will be necessary to retry the whole ignition sequence; if the oven burner do not remain correctly lit at the first attempt, open the door of the room and wait at least 60 sec. before to retry to ignite the oven burner.
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.
