Instructions for the user

4. USE OF THE OVEN

3 operations are required to switch the oven on:

1st: make sure that the timer is turned to “”;

2nd: turn the thermostat;

3rd: turn the function selector to any function (the “lamp” setting does not switch on any heating elements).

In models equipped with analogue digital timer, the user has only to press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout.

4.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

Do not place plastic products or products with plastic parts inside the oven. If accidentally left inside they may be a source of serious danger to the user and put the appliance’s operation at risk.

Before closing the oven door, make sure that all the shelves and trays provided have been pushed fully into place so that they do not touch the glass when the door is closed.

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.
