4. Instructions for the user
4.1 General information
-
Use the appliance at room temperature between +5°C and +25°C. 35°C may be reached
occasionally.
-
The temperature of the appliance's external surfaces may exceed 60°C, only touch control
elements. Burn hazard!
-
When the appliance is first used it is recommended to operate it unladen for 40/50 minutes at
a temperature of 220/230°C. In this way all unpleasant and wholly normal smells due to
heating the thermal insulation enveloping the cooking chamber and the silicone used for its
external sealing are dissipated.
-
Supervise the oven during operation.
-
This appliance must only be used for the use it has been especially designed for, that is
cooking food in the oven; any other use is to be deemed improper.
-
The appliance may be used for all types of baking of pastries, baked goods and food: fresh and
frozen; for reconditioning chilled and frozen food, for steam cooking of meats, fish and
vegetables.
-
No foods containing easily flammable substances must be cooked, such as alcohol-based
foods; self-combustion phenomena might occur leading to fires and explosions in the cooking
chamber.
Pay attention to handling food containers during and after cooking: they might be very hot.
Wear appropriate protective thermal clothing to prevent burns
-
In placing the food in the cooking chamber, maintain a space of at least 40 mm between trays
in order not to excessively obstruct air circulation.
-
Do not use trays with sides higher than necessary: the sides form barriers that prevent hot air
circulation.
-
Preheat the oven every time before cooking to achieve top performance.
-
For cooking as consistently as possible, spread the food evenly in every tray taking into account
its size, layer or thickness.
-
Avoid adding salt to food in the cooking chamber.
-
To check correct progress of the cooking cycle use the chamber's internal lighting: avoid
uselessly opening the door, which causes wastes of energy and longer cooking times.
Warnings
To prevent boiling, do not use containers filled with liquids or food that liquefy with heat, in
excessive amounts that cannot be easily kept under control. For this reason, only use trays that let
you see inside the container.
When extracting a tray containing hot liquid pay attention not to spill any liquid: burn hazard!
4.1.1 Residual risks
After baking open the door with caution, to avoid the violent outflow of heat which might cause
burns. During oven operation pay attention to hot areas of its outer surfaces (marked on the
appliance). Do not use the door handle to move the appliance (possible glass breakage).
The supporting bench must be able to withstand the weight of the machine and house it
correctly. The appliance is fitted with electrical parts and must never be washed with a water or
steam jet. The appliance is electrically connected: disconnect the power supply before performing
any type of cleaning. To avoid incorrect connections of the appliance, the relevant electrical/water
connections are marked on the appliance by suitable identification plates.
