Instructions for the user
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 (certain models only)
The appliance is equipped with 2 cooling fans
which come into operation when the oven is
switched 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.
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 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.
