7. USE OF THE OVENS

7.1 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. To regulate, refer to paragraph "5.2 Electronic Analogue Clock”.

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.

7.2 Oven Light

It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.

7.3 Cooling fan

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system, which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function is selected. This is also the case for cooking with the minute minder.

Fans cause a steady outflow of air from the rear top skirtboard on the rear of the cooking hob, which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

This ventilation system ensures that the temperatures on the outside of the appliance meet the standards required by the current regulations.
