Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.
Usingtheoven
The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit.
Lighting the oven
To light the oven burner, bring a flame or gas lighter close to opening F (see figure) and press the OVEN
| control knob while turning it in |
| an anticlockwise direction until |
| it reaches the MAX position. |
| If, after 15 seconds, the |
F | burner is still not alight, |
| release the knob, open the |
| oven door and wait for at least |
1 minute before trying to light it again.
The oven is fitted with a safety device and it is therefore necessary to hold the OVEN control knob down for approximately 6 seconds.
If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight the oven.
