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

The oven features cooling fan which switch on together with the oven.

Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which exits at the bottom part of the oven front which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

4.3 Oven light

On all models, it is switched on by turning the thermostat knob and the function selector knob to any function. On some models it also switches on when the oven door is opened.
