Instructions for the User

8. USING THE OVEN

In models with clock and programmer, 3 procedures are required to enable oven cooking operations:

1 make sure that the timer is turned to or between 5’ and 90’/120’;

2turn the thermostat;

3turn the function selector knob to any function.

8.1 Precautions 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.

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

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. When the door is opened the oven's internal fan cuts out automatically; it starts up again when the door is closed.

8.2 Cooling fan system (on all models)

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation when the oven is switched on. The operation of the fans generates a normal air flow which comes out above (Fig 1) or below (Fig 2) the door depending on the model, and may continue for a short time even after the oven is switched off.

8.3 Inside light

Depending on the model, the oven light switches on:

•when the oven door is opened, or;

•when the function knob is turned to any function, except .
