5. USING THE OVEN

5.1 Precautions and General Advice

When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the maximum temperature (250°C) for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

At first use after a power blackout, press the middle knob for 1 - 2 seconds to enable oven cooking operations. For setting instructions, see point "3.2. Electronic Programmer”.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or trays 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.

To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, 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.

5.2 Oven light

It comes on when the function selector is turned to any setting, or when the door is opened with the oven off.

5.3 Storage compartment

The storage drawer is in the bottom of the cooker, underneath the oven. To open it, pull on the bottom of the door.

Never use it to store flammable materials such as rags, paper, etc.; it is intended to take the appliance's metal accessories only.

Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high.
