part the various traditional baking notions. When roasting meat it is not necessary to turn the meat any more and for a
roast on the spit, it is not indispensable to use the spit-roaster,
but is sufficient to put the meat directly on the grate.
With the use of the fan gas oven, the baking temperatures are slightly lower of about 10-15°C compared to those in use
with the traditional gas oven. The fan operation of the oven prevents the operation of the electric grill, which therefore
cannot be used with the fan in action.
The oven can also be used in a traditional way, (by not activating the fan) for foods requiring heat from the bottom, e.g.
pizza.
WARNING: If the burner flames are extinguished accidentally, turn off the control knob and do not try to relight
the oven until after at least 1 minute.

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 so the 260°C on the scale matches the indicator (fig.26). At the
same time put a lit match next to the ignition tube that is visible on the oven level (fig.27). 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 (only for the models equipped with this device):
In this case, first open the oven door, then turn the knob to the maximum temperature setting (260°C). Then press the
thermostat knob (models with ignition trough knob). 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. As for cookers without
ignition trough knob, press the thermostat knob and the key with the spark symbol, 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. When using the oven, leave the cooker
cover open to prevent it from overheating.
NOTICE: when using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature of
about 250° without cooking anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odours from the internal
insulation.
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 (fig.28) 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.
Temperatures between brackets are referred to the use of oven with fan assisted gas.
