5. USING THE OVEN
5.1 General Instructions
NOTE: Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature (500°F), and
operate long enough to burn away any oily residue remaining from the manufacturing process that could
give the food a bad taste.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
To prevent burns caused by steam in the oven, open the
door in two stages: partially open (approximately 5 cm or
2 inches) for 4- 5 seconds, long enough to permit the
steam to escape, and then fully open.
When accessing the food in the oven, always leave the
door open the shortest possible time to prevent the oven
temperature from falling and ruining the food.
WARNING Never cover any slots, ports or orifices in the oven bottom or cover an
entire rack with materials such as aluminium foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminium
foil linings may also trap heat, creating a fire hazard.
NOTE: In case of a power outage, discontinue cooking.
If the power goes out during cooking, turn the range off immediately.
5.2 Recommendations when using the oven or broil burner
• You cannot operate the broil and oven burners simultaneously. The protection system will give priority
to turn on the oven burner.
• Make sure the oven/broil burner has ignited correctly by checking the associated indicator light (see
5.4 Indicator light).
5.3 Convection cooking

selector to the position indicated by a . The convection system engages when the selected
temperature is reached.
WARNING: Do not use the defrost function (indicated by the symbol) for convection cooking.
Because there is no time delay associated with engaging the defrost function, it could cause a serious
appliance malfunction.
NOTE: Convection cooking cannot be used for broiling.
