Initial heating
It is recommended to heat up the product for
about 30 minutes and then switch it off. Thus, any
production residues or layers will be burnt off and
removed.

3. Select the rapid pre-heat function
(See How to use the oven and grill section).
4. Operate oven & grill for about 30 minutes.

monitor the oven at all times and ensure that the
room is well ventilated.
Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your
appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:
•
Use dark coloured or enamel coated cookware
in the oven as the heat transmission will be
better.
•
Perform a preheating operation if it is advised
in the user manual or cooking instructions.
•
Do not open the door of the oven frequently
during cooking.
•
Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at
the same time whenever possible. You can
place two cooking vessels onto the wire shelf.
•
Cook one dish after another. The oven will
already be hot.
•
You can save energy by switching off your oven
a few minutes before the end of the cooking
time. Do not open the oven door.
•
Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them if
possible, unless otherwise instructed.
