7. USE OF THE OVEN
Before using the oven, make sure you have selected either a cooking time
or manual functioning .
7.1 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 use the microwave or combined
functions for this first preheating.
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. When the
door is opened oven ventilation is automatically
switched off; it then resumes as soon as the door is
closed.
