Use and Care Manual

24
The use of a gas cooking appliance generates heat and humidity in the room where
it is installed. Proper ventilation in the room is needed. Make sure the kitchen is
equipped with a range hood of appropriate power (400 CFM minimum). Activate
the exhaust fan/range hood when possible. Intensive and continuous use of the
appliance may require additional ventilation, for example, by opening a window.
Never pour cold water onto hot surfaces in a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage
the enamel in the oven.
When using the cooker for the first time you may notice the following:
1. There may be a smell. This is quite normal when the cooker is first heated as
residual oil from production of parts will be burnt off quickly.
2. There may be noises. This is also quite normal as new parts move and settle into
place during the initial heating process.
