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 regardless of the cooking function selected, including the automatic cooking function.

The fan, installed in the rear of the appliance, drives the air across the top of the oven and through the vent slits above the door.

The noise caused by the air flow will continue even after the oven is switched off.

The cooling system ensures that the temperature on the outside of the appliance complies with the parameters required by the European Standard.

7.4 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.
