5. USE OF THE OVEN

5.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

The user has only to press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout.

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.

5.2 Oven Light

It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position. When the oven is not working, the light comes on by simply opening the door.

5.3 Storage compartment

The storage drawer is at the bottom of the cooker, underneath the oven. For access, pull the bottom of the door.

Never store inflammable materials such as rags, paper or the like. The compartment is intended only for holding the metal accessories of the range.

Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperature inside may be very high.
