8. USING THE OVEN

8.1 Precautions and General Advice

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 oven door is opened while cooking is in progress, steam production and all the heating elements will cut out automatically and the oven light, the water level lights and the oven pilot light will come on.
