5 USE OF THE OVEN

For those models with electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that the display shows the symbol .

For those models with analogue clock and timer, place on the symbol .

5.1Warnings 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.

After a power failure, the display will flash at regular intervals showing . To regulate, refer to paragraph "6 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMME”.

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with the requirements of the current directive.

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.

5.2Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon the oven being turned on.

Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

5.3Use of the electric grill

For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is already cooked, select the

static grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature. The fan grill function (certain models only) allows actual cooking procedures to be carried out, thanks to the fan function which ensures that the heat penetrates into the food. For this cooking mode, select the fan grill

function and turn the thermostat knob to the ideal cooking temperature (never set at more than 225° C).
