new” and any oils remaining from the production process. Insert the plug in the power socket, turn
thermostat to “max”, turn the timer knob to position “20”, position the selector knob and leave
the appliance on. When the cycle ends, remove the plug from the socket and wait until the appliance is
cool before removing the accessories. These must be washed in hot water with normal dishwashing
liquid, rinsed and dried before being returned to their position.

advisable to preheat the oven as described above, making sure the door is closed properly.

• Place the enamel tray at the bottom of the oven.
• Put the food (in the plate or baking tray, etc.) and shut the door.
• Follow these instructions:
- Insert the plug in the power socket
- Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the temperature required
- Turn the selector switch to desiderate position
- Turn the timer knob to the time required: the pilot light and the oven starts to heat: if cooking time is
not sufficient, restart the timer for the time still required.
When cooking is completed, turn the selector switch to ; the thermostat to “0” and remove the
plug from the power socket.
