Some yellow tips on flames up to 1" (25.4mm) in length are
acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you
to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time
you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking
appliance and the following directions are only a guideline
which may be varied according to your own personal
experience.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning sickness.
Preheating
Preheating the gas oven doesn't just heat the air in the oven
but the walls and the door, which ensures that the oven will
quickly return to that temperature when the door has been
opened and then closed again.
Based on the cooking temperature to be set, the preheating
time may vary. The suggested minimum preheat time is 15
minutes.
Bad
Yellow
Holes in Burner
If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue
may not be completely burned off, or the venturi may be
clogged or may not be properly positioned over the orifices.

Slow Cooking
The power of the side burners is lower than the center burner,
we recommend you use the side burners for slow cooking
purpose.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place in the oven after it has
been preheated (about 15 minutes). The temperature is
normally around 350°F. Do not open the door while the cake
is baking in order to prevent it from dropping.
In general:
Pastry is too dry
Pastry dropped
Pastry is too dark on
top
Cooked well on the
inside but sticky on the
outside
The pastry sticks to
the pan
Cooking Pizza
For tasty crispy pizzas:
Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes.
Place the pizza pan on the rack supplied with the oven. If
the dripping pan is used, this will extend the cooking time,
making it difficult to get a crispy crust.
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is
cooking;
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
