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.

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with the requirements of the current directive.

To prevent problems caused by steam in the oven, 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.

9.2 Cooling system

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on upon a few minutes after the oven has been turned 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.

For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat, select the static grill function ; set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob.

Cooking time must not exceed 60 minutes.
