4. USE OF THE OVEN

Before using the oven make sure that the electronic programmer displays the symbol (see "3.2.1 Clock adjustment").

4.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

In the models featuring an electronic programmer, a power failure causes

the display to start flashing at regular intervals and the symbol to appear. To re-adjust, see "3.2 Electronic programmer ".

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.

4.2 Cooling system (certain models only)

The appliance is equipped with 2 cooling fans which come into operation when the oven is switched 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.

4.3 Oven light

To turn on the oven light in models with static oven, rotate the temperature knob clockwise to the first setting aligned with the lamp

symbol (). The light will remain on throughout entire cooking operation. In the multifunction models, the inside oven light may be turned on by simultaneously rotating the function selector knob and the timer knob. When the oven is not working, the light comes on by simply opening the door.
