7.USING THE OVEN

7.1Precautions and General Advice

When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or oven dishes on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with EEC directive 89/109 of 21/12/88 and national relevant regulations.

To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in two stages; hold it open just a little (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. If you have to check or carry out other procedures on food during cooking, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature which will impair the cooking results. When the door is opened the oven's internal fan cuts out automatically; it starts up again when the door is closed (Depending on models).
