4. USE OF THE OVEN
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 off 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.
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 oven is equipped with a cooling system
which automatically comes on when the oven is
turned on.
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
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 the 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.
