Step 2: Press the thermostat knob (A) thoroughly to start up the electric ignition and, keeping the knob under pressure turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum position. Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.

Step 3: Wait about ten seconds after lighting the burner to release the knob (priming time of the thermocouple).

Step 4: Check that the burner has lit; if not, turn the knob clockwise back to (OFF) and repeat the procedure.

Step 5: Close the oven door slowly and adjust the thermostat knob on the desired setting. If the flame extinguishes for any reason, the safety valve will automatically shut off the gas supply to the burner. To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to OFF position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

Using the circular element and the fan with a temperature between 50°C and 225°C, this cooking function blows the air into and around the oven cavity. Temperatures are achieved quicker, reducing or even removing the need for preheating. Both cooking temperatures and cooking times can be reduced for a more energy efficient cooking programme.

Warming oven

Using heat produced only by the bottom element, this natural heat is perfect for dough proving and blind baking.

Fanned grill

This function uses the fan to circulate the heat from the grill element around the food. The temperature can be set between 50°C and 250°C.

Full grill

This function uses the fan to circulate the heat from the grill element around the food. The temperature can be set between 50°C and 250°C.
