[. . . ] USING THE OVEN 7. 1 Before using the appliance • • • Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”. Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 7. 2 Oven runners The oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see figure). 7. 3 Storage compartment (on some models only) The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker. It provides storage space for the appliance’s metal accessories and must not be used to store flammable materials, cloths, paper etc. Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high. 7. 4 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of air that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off. 7. 5 Internal light The light inside the oven comes on when any function is selected, except when the bottom burner is being used, in which case the timer knob must be turned to symbol . 42 Instructions for the user 7. 6 General warnings and advice for use All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The dissipation of heat may cause hazards. CAUTION: the gas oven must be lit with the oven door open. The oven is equipped with a safety system that blocks ignition of the burner if the door is closed. If you make a mistake in the lighting procedure, open the oven door and wait a few moments before trying to light it again. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: keep it half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then open it fully. 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. To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking. While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking. To prevent hazardous overheating, the appliance's lid (where present) must always be raised when using the oven. 43 Instructions for the user 7. 7 Using the gas oven 7. 7. 1 Electronic spark ignition Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it anti-clockwise between MIN and MAX; the electric spark ignition is activated automatically. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting to light it, leave the oven door open and do not try to light it again for at least 1 minute. The bottom burner cannot be lit with the oven door closed.
