7.1Warnings and general advice

Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C for electric oven and 275°C for gas oven) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a power cut, the oven display will flash

The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which conform to the standing directives.

WARNING: the gas oven is lit with the door open. The oven is equipped with a safety system which stops the burners being lit when the door is closed. If this is done wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments before lighting once more.

To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

7.2Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after the oven has been turned on.

Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.
