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.

To prevent any problems that could be caused from the steam in the oven, open the door in two stages: keep the door ajar (about 5-6 cm) for 4-5 seconds and then open it fully.

4.2 Oven lights

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

4.3 Cooking hints

THE OVEN DIMENSIONS ARE DESIGNED FOR A OVERALL LOAD OF 15 KG.

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.
