!The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half and hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may produce a slightly unpleasant odour caused by the burning away of protective substances used during the manufacturing process.

!Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
