7.USING THE OVEN

7.1Warnings and general advice

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. 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.

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.

The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of Directive 89/109/EEC, dated 21/12/88 and of Decree Law 108, dated 25/01/92.

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.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

7.2Cooling system

The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts.

The fans cause a steady outflow of air from above and below the door which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

7.3Inside light

The light is switched on by turning the thermostat knob clockwise to the first click, at the position indicated by the () symbol, or while the oven is in use.
