4. USE OF THE OVEN

4.1 Warnings and general advice

When using for the first time, it is advisable to heat up the oven to its maximum temperature (250°C) for enough time to burn off any possible oily manufacturing residues.

It should be borne in mind that when the oven door is opened, the heating elements and the fan are automatically switched off. This means that, if the food being cooked needs to be checked, it is best to leave the door open for as short a time as possible in order to avoid the temperature inside the oven from dropping too much and thus compromising cooking results.

4.2 Oven lights

The lights inside the oven come on automatically upon turning the thermostat knob.

4.3 Defrosting

TIMER KNOB

SET TO MANUAL

THERMOSTAT KNOB

SET TO VENTILATION

Moving air at ambient temperature causes frozen food to quickly thaw. This type of thawing is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de- frozen food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the domestic freezer, remain unaltered.

4.4 Pre-heating

Before cooking, it is advisable to pre-heat the oven to the desired temperature for at least 15 minutes.
