Oven Performance:
It is important to remember that this oven may perform differently to the way your previous appliance worked.
To obtain best cooking results, please experiment with temperature, rack height, and cooking times.
Steam and Condensation:
Often owners of new ovens will see a higher level of steam and condensation than they are used to in their previous appliance. This is normal and contributes to keeping the food moist during cooking. The amount of condensation will depend on the type of food (fresh, defrosted, frozen) being cooked and the cooking style (water in the roasting dish).Climatic conditions also contribute to the generation of condensation (outside temperature vs inside temperature). When food is heated it produces steam in the same way a boiling kettle does. When steam comes into contact with the oven door glass it will condensate and produce droplets. To reduce condensation, ensure that the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity. Oven pre-heating is necessary before any cooking! It is normal for steam to escape the oven when opening the door. To reduce the build-up of condensation pre heat the oven for longer periods and occasionally open the door and carefully wipe away the condensation. Adjusting your cooking practices will also ensure a minimum build-up of condensation.

USING THE COOKING HOB

7.1 Lighting the hob burners
Before ligh ng the hob burners, check that the flamespread crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The optional trivet B is for use with woks.

The burner controlled by each knob is shown above the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until it lights. If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, switch the knob to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.
Once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. If the burner goes out when the knob is released, it may be that the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operti on, keeping the knob pressed for a longer me.
If the burners go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cuttng off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the off posti on and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

7.2 Prac cal hints for using the hob burners
For be r burner efficiency and to minimize gas consump on, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to boil, turn down the flame to prevent the liquid from boiling over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils as they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.

USING THE OVEN

8.1 Warnings and general advice
When using the oven for the first time, heat it at the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.
WARNING: 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 minutes before trying to light it again.
While cooking desserts and vegetables, condensation from the bottom of the door could occur. This is a natural physical phenonmenon which mainly occurs when preheating has not taken place. To avoid this, open the door a couple of times while cooking, taking great care.
To prevent the steam from the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages – approximately 5cm open for 5 seconds, then fully open. Try to minimize the length of
time the door is open to prevent the temperature in the oven falling and ruining the food.

8.2 Using the gas oven
Electronic spark ignition
Open the oven door fully, press the thermostat knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum temperature. The electrical spark ignition is activatedautomatically. When the oven is lit, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not ignite after15 seconds, stop the attempt to light it, open the door completely, and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.

If the burner is accidentally extinguished, the safety valve will be activated to interrupt the flow of gas. To light it again, turn the knob to the off position and wait for about 60 seconds, then relight the gas using normal procedures.
The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a ventilation system.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, such as open windows or increasing the extraction speed of the ventilation system.
8.3 Using the gas grill/rotisserie
You must first turn off the oven burner by moving the knob to the off position, then turn the selector to the grill position. It is not possible to operate the gas oven and the grill/rotisserie at the same time. Once the oven is turned on, leave it to heat up for 5 minutes before placing foods inside. Use the oven tray to collect any cooking juices. The foods to be cooked should be placed on the oven rack, on the corresponding runner following the guidelines as below.

To use the rotisserie for the AR900-GAS GAS model, secure the meat on the supplied skewer using the brackets to keep it in place and balanced during cooking. Then place the skewer into its designated hole on the rack, ensuring the rack lug is fitted correctly at the opposite end.

Place the wire rack for the spit roast on the second rack from the bottom up locating the spindle into the rotisserie opening. The spindle is located at the rear left of the oven.
Place the drip tray on the bottom rack to catch any drippings during cooking..
PRECAUTIONS
Grilling processes must never last more than 60 minutes.
Keep the door closed during grill cooking operation for best result.
Accessible parts may become very hot during and after use. Keep children well away from the appliance.
During oven cooking operations, place the baking tray provided on the bottom shelf position to prevent any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven.
When using the oven, remove all unused plates and racks from its interior. Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or oven plates 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.
8.4 Storage compartment
The storage compartment is at the bottom of the cooker, underneath the oven. To open it, pull on the top of the door.
Do not open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still on. The temperatures inside it may be very hot.
Never use it to store flammable materials such as rags, paper, etc. It is intended for storing the appliance’s metal accessories only.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any operation that requires access to live parts, disconnect the power supply to the appliance.
Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the inside of the oven.
To keep the stainless steel in good condition, it should be cleaned regularly after every use of the cooker, after it has cooled down.
10.1 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use only products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surface. Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not allow residues of sugary foods to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
10.2 Cleaning the parts of the cooking hob
Pan stands
Remove the pan stands, cleaning them with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustataion. Replace them on the cooking hob. Contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time on those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenonmenon and has no effect on the operation of this component.
WARNING: If using cast iron pan stands, you may find white residues on the pan stands after using pans with aluminium bases. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the pan stand.
While they may be a little difficult to remove, do not use excessively aggressive products to clean the pan stand as it could damage its enamel surface.
Burner caps and flame spread crowns
For easier cleaning, the burner caps and the flame spread crowns can be removed. Wash them with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent, making sure to remove any encrustation. Wait until they are perfectly dry before replacing the flame spread crowns, making sure they are correctly in place with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes A in the flame-spread are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples.

WARNING: Never wash these parts in a dishwasher. They can be left to soak with warm water and detergent.
Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation, the igniters and thermocouples must always be clean.
Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

10.3 Cleaning the oven
For best oven maintainence, clean regularly after it has cooled down. Take out all removable parts, and clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.

10.4 Cleaning the glass door
The glass on the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use an absorbent kitchen roll. For stubborn dirt, use a damp sponge and standard detergent.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE

The oven may require extraordinary maintenance or replacement of parts subjected to wear, such as seals, bulbs, etc. The following instructions describe how to carry out these maintenance operations.
Before performing any operations that require access to live parts, disconnect the power supply of the appliance.
11.1 Lubrication of gas oven taps and thermostat
Over time, the gas taps and the gas oven thermostat may become blocked and difficult to turn. Clean them internally and replace the lubrication grease. This operation must be carried out by a specialised and authorised technician.
11.2 Changing the light bulb
Remove the bulb protector A by turning it counter-clockwise and change bulb B with a similar one (25W). Refit the bulb protector
A. Use only oven bulbs (T 300C) for this.
