How To Operate The Oven; Important - Whirlpool AKR 047/01/IX Mode D'emploi

HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN

• Open the oven door fully.
• Gently press the thermostat knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum position.
• Press the thermostat knob right in to light the oven and hold it for a few seconds to activate
the safety thermocouple.
• Check for oven burner ignition through the slots in front of the oven bottom and make sure
that the burner flame remains alight when the knob is released. If it does not, repeat the
operation.
Check that the burner is operating correctly with the door closed. Do not use excessive force
when closing the door.
• Turn the knob to the desired temperature.
• Place the food to be cooked inside the oven.

Important:

- If your oven does not light or is not provided with electric ignition, proceed as follows:
• Ignite the burner with a match or a gas igniter at the central ignition slot at the front of the
oven base.
The oven burner is equipped with a safety valve that cuts off the gas supply:
• if the thermostat knob is turned accidentally and gas is supplied to the oven burner
• if the burner flame accidentally goes out
• if there is no gas supply. The thermostat is equipped with a lock to stop the burner from
going out while adjusting the oven temperature from maximum to minimum. To switch
off the burner when it is set to the minimum position, gently press the knob and rotate it
until the mark on the knob is aligned with the mark on the panel (•).
Useful cooking tips
• For optimum cooking results, pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature before placing
the food inside.
• Pre-heating is not necessary for cooking particularly fatty food.
• For cooking frozen meat, it is advisable to set the temperature 20°C lower than the normal
cooking temperature and to increase the cooking time by approximately 15 minutes.
