4. USING THE OVEN

4.1 Precautions and General Advice

When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the maximum temperature (250°C) 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.

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.

4.2 Cooling fan system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation at the start of cooking.

Operation of the fans generates a normal air flow which comes out of the top of the front of the oven and may continue for a short time even after the oven is switched off.

4.3 Inside light

The oven light comes on:

•When the oven door is opened in "off" status.

•When the oven is switched on using the key.
