Frequently Asked Questions - MGN31L SCHOLTES

How do I ignite the gas burners on the Scholtès MGN31L?

Press and turn the corresponding knob to the maximum position (large flame symbol). You should hear a clicking sound from the spark igniter. If the burner does not light, wait a few seconds and try again. Ensure the burner cap and head are correctly positioned.

What type of gas does the MGN31L cooker use?

The cooker is preset for natural gas (G20). It can be converted to LPG (butane/propane) using a conversion kit (sold separately). Refer to the manual for adjustment instructions.

How do I clean the oven cavity?

Wait for the oven to cool completely. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the enamel. The oven door can be removed for easier access; see the manual for removal instructions.

Why won't the oven ignite?

Check that the gas supply is on and the oven knob is pressed down while turning. If the igniter doesn't spark, ensure the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Also verify that the thermocouple is clean.

Can I use the oven and grill simultaneously?

Yes, the oven and grill can be used together, but it is not recommended for long periods as it may affect cooking performance. Refer to your recipe for best results.

How do I remove the oven door for cleaning?

Open the door fully, lift the locking levers on both hinges, then gently close the door until it stops. Lift the door off the hinges. Reverse the procedure to reattach. Ensure the levers are lowered back.

What is the maximum baking temperature?

The oven thermostat allows a maximum temperature of approximately 250°C (482°F). For grilling, use the dedicated grill function.

The burner flame is yellow or uneven. What should I do?

Yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion. Check that the burner cap is correctly seated and the slots are not blocked by food debris. Clean the burner head with a toothpick and ensure proper air adjustment (contact a professional if needed).

Where can I purchase spare parts for the MGN31L?

Authorized Scholtès service centers and online retailers offer spare parts such as burner caps, thermocouples, and knobs. Use the model number MGN31L to ensure compatibility.

Is the Scholtès MGN31L energy efficient?

This model has a standard energy efficiency class (typically A for gas ovens). For precise data, refer to the energy label. Use the oven economically by batch cooking and keeping the door closed.

We would therefore request you to read and follow these easy instructions which will allow you to obtain ex-cellent results right from the start. May we wish you all the very best with your modern appliance!

THE MANUFACTURER

Installation

All the operations concerned with the installation (electrical and gas connections, adaptation to type of gas, necessary adjustments, etc.) must be carried out by qualified technicians, in terms with the standards in force. For specific instructions, kindly read the part reserved for the installation technician.

Use

Gas burners (Fig. 1-3).

The ignition of the gas burner is carried out by putting a small flame to the upper part holes of the burner, pressing and rotating the corresponding knob in an anti-klockwise manner, until the maximum position has coincided with the marker. When the gas burner has been turned on, adjust the flame according to need. The minimum position is found at the end of the anticlockwise rotation direction. In models with automatic ignition, operate the knob as described above, pressing simultaneously, the corresponding push button. For models with automatic/ simultaneous (with one hand) ignition, it is sufficient to proceed as described above using the corresponding knob. The electric spark between the ignition plug and the burner provides the ignition of the burner itself. After ignition, immediately release the push-button and adjust the flame according to need. For models with a thermoelectric safety system, the burner is ignited as in the various cases described above, keeping the knob fully pressed on the maximum position for approximately 3/5 seconds. After releasing the knob, make sure the burner is actually lit.

N.B.:

• we recommend the use of pots and pans with a diameter matching that of the burner, thus preventing the flame from escaping from the bottom part and surrounding the pot
• do not leave any empty pots or pans on the fire
• do not use any tools for grill-cooking on Crystal hobs.
  When cooking is finished, it is also a good norm to close the main gas pipe tap and/or cylinder.

Important

a) on floors with thermoelectric protection do not keep the ignite button pushed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has not ignited after 15 seconds, open the door of the room and wait at least one minute before making a further attempt.
b) on floors without protection, should the burner flame go out close the corresponding gas cock and wait at least one minute before making any attempt to ignite it.

Maintenance Gas/Electrical

Prior to any operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical system. For long-life to the equipment, a general cleaning operation must take place periodically, bearing in mind the following:

• the glass, steel and/or enamelled parts must be cleaned with suitable non-abrasive or corrosive products (found on the market). Avoid chlorine-base products (bleach, etc.);
• avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances on the working area (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.).
• the wall baffle and the small covers (mobile parts of the burner) must be washed frequently with boiling water and detergent, taking care to remove every possible encrustation. Dry carefully and check that none of the burner holes is fully or partially clogged;
• the stainless steel grids of the working area, after having been heated, take on a bluish tint which does not deteriorate the quality. To bring colour back to its original state, use a slightly abrasive product.

N.B. - Cleaning of the taps must be carried out by qualified personnel, who must be consulted in case of any functioning anomaly. Check periodically the state of conservation of the flexible gas feed pipe. In case of leakage, call immediately the qualified technicians for its replacement.
