7.1Warnings and general advice

Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C for electric oven and 275°C for gas oven) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a power cut, the oven display will flash intermittently

and show . To adjust refer to paragraph "8 ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMER (ONLY ON EQUIPPED MODELS)”.

The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which conform to the standing directives.

WARNING: the gas oven is lit with the door open. The oven is equipped with a safety system which stops the burners being lit when the door is closed. If this is done wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments before lighting once more.

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.

7.2Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after the oven has been 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.
