7.1 Warnings and general advice
Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C for
electric oven and 275°C for gas oven) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues
which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a power cut, the oven display will flash intermittently
and show
. To adjust refer to paragraph "8 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER (ONLY ON
EQUIPPED MODELS)”.
The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which conform
to the standing directives.
WARNING: the gas oven is lit with the door open. The oven is equipped
with a safety system which stops the burners being lit when the door is
closed. If this is done wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments
before lighting once more.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two
stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access
food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.
7.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after
the oven has been turned on.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time
even after the oven has been turned off.

Open the oven door completely, press the thermostat knob and turn it clockwise
to max. temperature. The electronic spark lighting device will be enabled
automatically. Once the oven is lit, hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow
the thermocouple to heat up.
This device should not be enabled for more than 15 seconds; if after this time the
burner has not come on, stop, fully open the oven door and try again after one
minute.
7.3.2 Manual lighting
Open the oven door completely and turn the thermostat knob. Place a lit
match to the mouth of the flame pipe A in the centre of the oven floor
and press the thermostat knob. Once the oven is lit, hold the knob down
for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and check that
the oven is lit through the inspection hole B. Choose the cooking
temperature by turning the knob clockwise to the desired temperature,
between 50° and 275°C.
If the burner is accidentally switched off, turn the knob to the off position ( ) and wait for one minute
before lighting again.
