This document is an installation and user manual for Candy Built-In Gas Ovens, specifically models FCG962DX, FCG962DX-19, and FCG962DN-19.
Function Description
The Candy Built-In Gas Oven is designed and manufactured solely for domestic (household) cooking of foodstuffs. Any other use is considered inappropriate and potentially dangerous. The appliance features a gas oven burner for normal convection cooking and a gas grill burner for radiation cooking. Some models are "fan assisted," incorporating a fan motor for forced convection cooking and defrosting. A safety cooling fan motor is integrated to ensure optimal control efficiency, maintain lower surface temperatures, and cool internal components. This fan automatically activates when the oven or grill burner is ignited and may continue to run for several minutes after the burner is turned off.
