How to use your oven?
The various features of this oven are controlled via the knobs and buttons located on the control panels.
Notices: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest
setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then,
open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to
the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.
Notices: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom shelf of the oven to prevent any sauce and/or
grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food. For all other types of cooking,
never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation
because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminum foil, etc.) on the
grid provided with the appliances inserted especially along the oven guides.
