Before using the oven for the first time
In this section, you can find out what you must do before using
your oven to prepare food for the first time. First read the
section on Safety information .
Heating the oven
To remove the "new" smell, heat the oven empty with the door
closed. The most effective option is to heat the oven for one
hour with the top and bottom heating elements % set at
240 ºC. Check that no packaging has been left inside the oven.
1.
Select top and bottom heating % using the function control
knob.
2.
Select 240 ºC with the temperature control knob.
Turn the oven off after one hour. To do this, turn the function
control knob to zero.
Cleaning the accessories
Before using the accessories for the first time, clean them
thoroughly using a cloth, hot water and a little soap.
Setting the oven
There are various ways in which you can set your oven. Here
we will explain how you can select the desired type of heating
and temperature or grill setting.

Changing the settings
The type of heating and temperature or grill setting can be
changed at any time using their respective selectors.
Cooking time
The oven allows you to set the cooking time for each type of
food. The oven switches off automatically when the cooking
time has finished. This avoids interrupting other tasks to switch
the oven off or exceeding the cooking time by mistake.

limit stop is located after 120 min. Do not turn the knob any
further.

control knob to the Û setting. The oven is off.
Cancelling the cooking time
