out of the oven (1).
As shown in the drawing,
to extract them completely,
simply lift the racks, holding
them on the front part, and
pull (2).
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with
its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an
hour. Make sure that the room is well ventilated before switching
the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances

follow the movement through with his/her hand. To use the
system correctly, before closing the door:
