4. Using the oven
4.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad smell.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with
aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven plates on it
as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use
greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not interfere with
the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half open
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open.
To access food, always leave the door open as
short a time as possible to prevent the temperature
in the oven from falling and ruining the food.
4.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system which
automatically comes on a few minutes after the
oven is turned on.
The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above
the door which may continue for a brief period of
time even after the oven has been turned off.
4.3 Inside light
The oven light comes on:
when the oven door is opened, or by turning the functions knob to
any symbol.
