USER’S MANUAL
The gas oven is a high-performance oven. Some chefs are convinced that gas ovens do not dry out dishes
during cooking. The results obtained are excellent and energy consumption is lower!
Gas ovens are ideal for slow cooking, for instance dishes cooked in earthenware dishes (terrines, gratins,
ragouts, etc.) as well as for meats that require fast cooking and need to be sealed (loin of lamb) or even
roasts which do not form an outside crust and remain really succulent.
In addition, gas ovens are ideal for cooking all dishes that require high “bottom heat” (1). We recommend
the use of electric ovens for dishes that have to be cooked in a dry atmosphere or at very low temperatures
(below 150 °C) such as meringues and certain cakes and pastries.
(1) Bottom heat” is obtained through heat from the lower part of the oven, i.e. in the case of a gas oven, the location where
the heat source is situated. Bottom heat is recommended for cooking fruit tarts, quiche lorraines, etc. for example.
Description
Made of sheet steel with an acid-resistant enamel coating applied at 850 °C. The gas ovens have 4
shelf positions (58 mm spacing) allowing shelves and flatware to slide in easily. The oven volume is
55 liter.
The oven burner is controlled by an thermostat valve. A thermocouple safety cut-out switches off the
gas supply to the thermostat valve if the burner is accidentally extinguished.
The oven burner is a large unit in order to ensure even heating of the base surface area. Its thermal
output is 3.5 kW.
The gas oven is supplied equipped with a pastry tray, shelf and roasting pan as standard.
Signal lamp lights when the unit is energised (it remains lit unless the appliance is disconnected
from the mains supply).
Use
Press and set the oven thermostat dial counter-clockwise to position 10 while pressing the ignition
button.
Keep the control knob pushed in for roughly 20 seconds until
the safety cut-out is activated.
To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the O position. The
control knob returns to its initial position, the latching mechanism
operates and the gas safety cut-out is activated several seconds
after the burner goes out.

from them. Be careful when handling dishes and shelves.
Openings or slits for ventilation or heat dissipation must not be blocked.
