FIRST IGNITION
IMPORTANT
Before turning on the oven, check all connections and gas connections. Do not lean
over the oven and stay away from the door with your face.
When the oven is switched on, the mouth of the oven must be open.
Do not move the oven during use.
After connecting the gas line to the oven, check the tightness of the connections and pos-
sibly resolve any leaks. With the knob in the off position, press and check if the igniter is
working. If everything works, open the tap on the cylinder and proceed with the ignition as
described below
When the oven is open, turn the knob to the maximum power position and press. The
electronic igniter is connected to the knob and is activated when the knob is pressed.
Press and hold the knob for a few seconds even after switching on so that the thermocou-
ple can come into operation and keep the gas flow open on the valve
In the first phases after changing the cylinder and reopening the valve, it may not turn on
immediately because the circuit is empty. Insist for a few seconds. If the ignition does not
start after a couple of attempts, wait a few minutes to allow any unburned gas to disperse
and then try the ignition again.
Any accumulation of gas could give rise to flames and/or potentially dangerous detona-
tions causing damage, burns or death in extreme cases.
Once lit it is possible to adjust the flame by turning the knob between the min<max posi-
tions

CAUTION: CHECK FLAME AFTER IGNITION.
All burner holes should show a flame of about 2.5cm on max knob position. If you smell
gas, if backfire occurs, if the burner makes small bursts or the flames are uneven along the
length of the burner there may be a problem with the venturi tube.
SWITCH THE OVEN OFF IMMEDIATELY.
Once the cooking is finished or at the end of use, correctly follow the shutdown procedure
below. When the flame is still on, close the tap on the cylinder and wait for the burner to
turn off, only after turning the knob to the "closed" position.
This ensures the complete emptying of the circuit from the gas.
FAILURE TO SWITCH ON OR MALFUNCTIONS
CAUSES AND REMEDIES:
IGNITER: If it does not work, the air/gas mixture fails to ignite, check the status of the
igniter batteries (1.5v AA), if discharged or with signs of oxidation replace them. For long
periods of non-use it is advisable to remove the battery to avoid malfunctions or damage
to the igniter itself. If the battery is good, check the cable and spark plug if they are dama-
ged and/or disconnected, replace if they are damaged. Check if the circuit works correctly
by pressing the button with the gas closed, if you see the spark pop on the burner it means
that the circuit works otherwise check the connections again. If the battery, cables and
spark plug are connected correctly but the system is not working, the spark generator
must probably be replaced. (See dedicated section for parts replacement)
VALVE: if damaged, it may not allow gas to pass or interrupt the flow.
If the knob is in the "max flame" position, the gas flow does not pass, make sure that you
have first opened the valve on the cylinder (and that it is full) or the gas tap. In the first
phases of ignition, keep the knob pressed to bypass the safety of the thermocouple and be
able to ignite the flame. If YOU manage to ignite the flame but when the knob is released
it goes out, it means that the thermocouple has not yet reached the temperature to keep
the circuit open, repeat the ignition procedure and keep the knob pressed for longer. If
after this operation the flame goes out, check that the thermocouple is connected and in
position and that it is not damaged, in this case replace it. If the thermocouple is replaced
but the problem is not solved, the valve must probably be replaced. (See dedicated section
for part replacement). It could also happen that the ignition takes place correctly but by
putting the valve knob in the minimum position the flame cannot be switched on indepen-
dently; in this case it is necessary to act on the minimum register by raising the gas supply
(the adjustment is fixed and set at the factory and must not be modified, but in case of
replacement of parts a new adjustment may be necessary).
