USING THE OVEN
General tips
• When cooking with the traditional oven always preheat the oven for 5 minutes to the set temperature to
achieve the best results.
• The cooking time depends on the type of food being prepared, the initial temperature of the food (fro-
zen, refrigerated or shelf temperature) and on personal taste. The cooking times indicated in the table
(pg. 7) are subject to variation, and do not include the time required to preheat the oven.
• To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on the product packaging.
Keep warm
• Turn the TEMPERATURE knob (A) to the “KEEP WARM” position.
• Turn the OVEN ON/TOAST COLOR knob (B) to the “ON” position.
• Place the wire rack (F) in the lower guide (J) and rest the dish with the food on the rack.
• To terminate the operation, turn the OVEN ON/TOAST COLOR knob (B) manually to the "OFF" position
and the TEMPERATURE knob (A) to the “•” position.
It is recommended not to leave the food in the oven for too long, as the food may dry out.
