7.USING THE OVEN

7.1Precautions and General Advice

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. When the oven and toaster are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

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

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and relevant national regulations.

To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half- open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature which will impair the cooking results.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

7.2Cooling fan system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts.

Operation of the fan generates a normal air flow which comes out above the door and may continue for a short time even after the oven is turned off.

7.3Inside lights

The oven lights come on when any function is set except for the (Toast) function.
