7. USING THE OVENS
7.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the
maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left
by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells. At first use after a power blackout, press the middle
knob for 1 - 2 seconds to enable oven cooking operations. For setting
instructions, see point "5.2. Electronic Programmer”.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or
tin foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the enamel
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does
not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam
inside the oven, open the door in two stages:
hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds,
then open it completely. If you have to carry out
any procedures on foods, leave the door open
for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop
in the oven temperature which will impair the
cooking results.

7.2 Oven light
It comes on when the function selector is turned to any setting, or when the
oven doors are opened.
7.3 Cooling fan system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation
as soon as a cooking function is selected. This also applies for timed cooking
processes.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from the rear top skirtboard on the rear
of the cooking hob, which may continue for a brief period of time even
after the oven has been turned off.
7.4 Storage compartment
The storage compartment is in the bottom of
the cooker, underneath the ovens. To open
it, pull on the top of the door.
Never use it to store flammable materials
such as rags, paper, etc.; it is intended to
take the appliance's metal accessories only.
Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot.
The temperatures inside it may be very high.
