4. Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the control panel and functions before operating the oven.

Control Panel Overview:

• Left Rotary Knob: Typically controls oven functions (e.g., gas oven, electric grill, convection fan).
• Digital Display: Shows time, timer settings, and possibly temperature.
• Right Rotary Knob: Typically controls temperature for the gas oven or grill intensity.

Operating the Gas Oven:

1. Open the oven door slightly.
2. Turn the left rotary knob to the gas oven symbol.
3. Push and hold the right rotary knob (temperature control) inwards while simultaneously turning it to the desired temperature. This activates the automatic ignition.
4. Hold the knob for a few seconds after the flame ignites to allow the safety device to engage. Release the knob. If the flame goes out, repeat the process.
5. Close the oven door and allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature.

Operating the Electric Grill:

Using the Digital Timer:

• The digital display allows you to set the current time, a cooking duration, or a delayed start time. Refer to the specific icons on the control panel for timer functions.
• Typically, pressing a timer button and using the adjustment buttons (often located near the display) will allow you to set the desired time.
• An audible alarm will sound when the set time has elapsed.

Convection Fan:

• To activate the heat distribution fan for more even cooking, select the convection fan symbol on the left rotary knob. This can often be used in conjunction with the gas oven function.

Interior Light:

• The interior light can be switched on to monitor cooking progress without opening the oven door. Look for a dedicated light symbol on the control panel or a specific position on the function knob.
