Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the oven's controls and functions before first use.

1. Initial Use

Before cooking food, heat the empty oven for approximately 30 minutes at maximum temperature to burn off any manufacturing residues. Ensure the kitchen is well-ventilated during this process.

2. Setting the Oven Function and Temperature

1. Turn the function selector knob to the desired cooking mode (e.g., conventional gas oven, gas grill).
2. Turn the temperature control knob to set the desired temperature. The automatic ignition will activate the gas burner. Hold the knob in for a few seconds after ignition to allow the thermal safety device to engage.
3. The oven will begin to heat. The indicator light will turn off once the set temperature is reached.

3. Using the Grill

The gas grill provides a quick and easy way to brown and crisp food. Position food on the appropriate shelf level (there are 5 levels for flexibility) to achieve desired browning. Always keep the oven door slightly ajar when grilling, as per safety guidelines for gas grills.

4. Rotisserie Function

For effortless rotisserie cooking, attach the meat to the rotisserie spit and insert it into the automatic rotary opening. Select the rotisserie function and set the desired temperature. The rotisserie will slowly turn the meat for even browning.

5. Minute Minder (Timer)

The integrated minute minder allows you to set a cooking duration. Once the set time elapses, an audible signal will alert you that cooking is complete. This feature does not turn off the oven.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your oven.

• Before Cleaning: Always ensure the oven is switched off, disconnected from the power supply, and completely cool before attempting any cleaning.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the anti-fingerprint stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Interior Cleaning: The oven cavity features a high-gloss enamel lining, making it easy to clean. Use a damp cloth and a non-abrasive oven cleaner. For stubborn stains, follow the cleaner's instructions.
• Removable Glass Panels: The inner glass panels of the oven door can be easily removed for thorough cleaning. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for safe removal and reinstallation.
