The oven burner can be ignited in different ways:

-Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off):

To light the oven, open the oven door and turn the knob at maximum position . At the same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level . Then press the thermostat knob (this makes the gas start to flow) and keep it pressed, after the burner has been completely lit, for 10 seconds. Release the knob and make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.

- Electric ignition

In this case, first open the oven door, then turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting. Then press the thermostat knob to start the gas flow and the ignition spark. Wait about 10 seconds after the burner has been completely lit and then release the knob. Make sure that the burner remains on, otherwise repeat the operation.

The ignition device should not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after that period the burner still has not been lit, do not use the device and open the door of the room or wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the oven again.

WARNING: when trying to light the oven, the door must always be open. The gas oven operation is indicated by a blue light

During normal oven use, after lighting the burner and setting the desired temperature, wait about 15 minutes before putting in any food to preheat the oven.

The oven is equipped with 4 guides at different heights level which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. The table below lists the general cooking times and the position of the tray for different types of foods. Personal experience will help to determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe being used.
