Setting up the appliance
Cleaning and heating up for the first time
Before use, please remove
-any stickers from the floor of the oven, baking trays, grill pan etc.
-the protective cork discs from the sides of the oven.
-any protective foil from the oven front.
See "Cleaning and care" for more information.
Before using the oven for the first time
–take all accessories out of the oven and wash them.
–then heat the oven up once with nothing in it. New ovens can give off a slight smell on first use. Doing this will dissipate the smells before you use it to cook food.
^Before heating the oven up it is a good idea to wipe the interior out with a damp cloth. This way any dust or bits of packaging that may have accumulated in the oven cavity during storage and unpacking will be removed.
^Press and release the function selector and the temperature selector.
^Turn the function selector to Rapid
^Use the temperature selector to set the highest temperature.
Heat the empty oven up for at least an hour.
Please ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated during this operation. Close doors to other rooms to prevent the smell spreading throughout the house.
^Leave the oven to cool down to room temperature.
^Then wipe out the oven cavity with a solution of hot water and a mild detergent and then dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Leave the oven door open until the oven interior is completely dry.
On models with a clock/timer, you can set this procedure to finish automatically. See the appropriate section.
