7. USE OF THE OVENS
7.1 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.
The user has only to press the central key for 1 - 2 seconds to
enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout. To
regulate, refer to paragraph "5.2 Electronic Analogue Clock”.
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.

7.2 Oven Light
It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.
7.3 Cooling fan
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation
regardless of the cooking function selected, including the automatic cooking
function.
The fan, installed in the rear of the appliance, drives the air across the top of the
oven and through the vent slits above the door.
The noise caused by the air flow will continue even after the oven is switched
off.
The cooling system ensures that the temperature on the outside of the
appliance complies with the parameters required by the European Standard.
7.4 Storage compartment
The storage drawer is at the bottom of the
cooker, underneath the oven. For access,
pull the bottom of the door.
Never store inflammable materials such as
rags, paper or the like. The compartment is
intended only for holding the metal
accessories of the range.
