Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with the requirements of the current directive.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

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.

5.2Use of the electric grill

For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat, select the static grill function ; set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob without exceeding the ¾ stroke as shown in the figure.

For this type of cooking select the ventilated grill function , set the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature (never more than 220°C). Cooking time must not exceed 60 minutes.
