2. For first-time use, heat the empty oven for 45 minutes to the maximum temperature.
3. Let the oven cool down and then wipe with warm water.
4. All accessories including part grates and backing racks should be washed before using for the first time.
5. When using the oven for the first time, keep it lit for several minutes to remove the normal smells and gases that are produced.

Safety sensors for automatic disconnection of gas supply if necessary
Flame-out protection device working principle, for gas products: press down the knob to have gas access and then ignite the burner. The thermocouple gets heated up by the flame, and it creates thermoelectric potential, thermoelectric potential induces into an electromagnetic coil through the wire, it creates a magnetic field which makes the electromagnetic valve operate, the gas valve is enabled, firing aisle is open. Remain normal combustion, when it encounters strong wind or soup overflow, and the flame goes off, the thermoelectric potential will go down to zero in a very short time, the electromagnetic coil loses power, so the electromagnetic valve stops working, and it will be reset under the action of the spring, the valve will cut off the gas access, cut off the gas supply, ensure safety.

Burner ignition

2. The burning machine and heating element can’t be operated at the same time.
3. Simplified-type heating element is only used to color the food, the size of the meat is according to the size of the heating element, and full filling of the whole cooking area is not suggested.

Power rate : 220-240V~600W 110-130V~600W

Rotisserie
(only some models)
Some models might have a rotisserie optional function. It’s suitable for big pieces of meat and could have better cooking for meat with an appetizing crisped outside if used together with a rill.

1. To use a rotisserie, you need to first insert the rotisserie rack inside the back support. Then string the meat to the rotisserie fork, after that insert the rotisserie fork into the sleeve of the rotisserie motor.
2. Identify the switch in the panel in front of your cooker, and press it to start the operation.

Glass lid

1. Before closing the glass lid, be sure that all burners have cooled down. Never light the burners with the glass lid closed. The heat and flames might break the glass.
2. When closed, the range’s purpose is to protect the surface against dust and, when opened, to prevent fat spatter in the back wall.
3. Do not use the lid as a work surface.
4. Do not place heavy or hot objects over the glass lid (max. 3.0kg/6,5lb and 50°C/125° F).

Tips and advice

1. Do not use any kind of protection on the board (aluminum foil) as it could cause clogging of the gas nozzle or a bad coupling of the burner parts.
2. When using the oven avoid touching its glass, surface, and internal accessories, wait for them to cool for a reasonable time before handling them.
3. When cooking in the oven, avoid contact with glass.
4. Avoid children in the kitchen when you are cooking.
5. Never allow a kid to sit on the oven door, or put heavy items on it.
6. To avoid electrical shocks, unplug the gas range when you replace the oven light.
7. To handle or remove food from the oven use cooking gloves.
8. Never leave clothes or flammable materials near the burners when the range is in use when using frying oil or butter. Care must be taken since these products are flammable.
9. Do not use the oven to store utensils, especially those containing residues or large quantities of oil or fat.
10. Containers with curved bases or salient edges must not be used since they can be easily destabilized when moved.
11. The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward.

Important recommendations

1. For a lower and more efficient gas consumption, it is advisable to use pans with a diameter adequate to the bburner’ssize, preventing the flame from burning in the open. It is advisable to reduce the flame as soon as the liquid starts to boil and keep the flame to the minimum necessary to sustain boiling.
2. Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room where the range is installed.
3. For easier ignition, light the burner before placing the pan over the grill.

Recommendation for energy saving

1. When possible cook when the pots are covered to decrease cooking time.
2. It is recommended to lower the coil power once the liquid reaches the boiling point.
3. Do not forget to turn off the coils before taking the pots off the burner. It is recommended one minute before.
4. While you are cooking and using oils or fats, be careful because any spill may cause a fire.
5. Only use pots with flat bottoms
6. For better performance and less energy consumption, it is recommended to use pots with the same diameter as the coil.

Cooking advice
To bake meat, preheat the oven at least for 15 minutes at maximum temperature.

Pastries

• Pastries must be cooked at moderate temperatures between 177°C ~ 204°C (350°F~400°F) and require a 15 minute oven preheating.
• Do not open the oven door when cooking yeasted dishes (for example bread, yeasted dough, and soufflés); cold air currents prevent the growth of the dough. To check the aking point, a toothpick must be introduced in the middle of the food. If the toothpick comes out dry, the pastry is baked to the point.
• At least 3/4 of the expected baking time must have passed before the check is made. If the pastry is more cooked on the outside than on the inside, a longer baking time at a lower temperature will be necessary.

Fish

• Roast small fish at a high temperature. Mid-sized fish must start to roast at a high temperature and then the temperature must be gradually reduced. Big fish must be roasted at a moderate temperature from the beginning.
• Check if the fish is well roasted by gently lifting one extremity; the meat must be evenly white and opaque unless it is salmon, trout, or other fish with a different color.

Meat

• The minimum weight of meat to be roasted is 2.2 lbs (1 kg) to prevent it from becoming too dry. If the meat roll does not have a lot of fat, use oil, margarine, or a little of both.
• Margarine and oil will not be necessary if the meat roll has enough fat of its own. When the fat is located just at one side of the roll, place it in the oven with this side up; the fat will melt and spread to the bottom side.
• Start roasting red meat at a high temperature, reducing it afterward to finish cooking the inside.
• The cooking temperature for white meat can be moderate from the beginning to the end. It is possible to check the cooking point by carving the meat with a fork: if the meat is firm, it means it is cooked to the point.
• Meat rolls must be taken out of the refrigerator one hour before cooking, so they do not get rough with the sudden temperature variation.
• Place roast in the oven in appropriate shallow containers (deep containers make heat penetration harder), or directly over the grill, placing a large container in the bottom grill to collect spatters and dripping fat.
• When cooking is finished it is advisable to wait for at least 15 minutes before cutting the meat to prevent the sauce from draining. Before serving, plates can be kept hot in the oven at a maximum temperature.
