6. USING THE OVEN
6.1
General Instructions
NOTE
: Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature (530°F), and
operate long enough to burn away any oily residue remaining from the manufacturing process that could
give the food a bad taste.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
To prevent burns caused by steam in the oven,
open the door in two stages: partially open
(approximately 5 cm or 2 inches) for 4- 5
seconds, long enough to permit the steam to
escape, and then fully open.
When accessing the food in the oven, always
leave the door open the shortest possible time
to prevent the oven temperature from falling
and ruining the food.
WARNING
Never cover any slots, ports or orifices in the oven bottom or cover an
entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may also trap heat, creating a fire hazard.
NOTE
: If the flame accidentally goes out, an internal safety device will block the flow of gas. To restore
the correct operation of the lighting system, return the knob to the position
and repeat the
procedure.
NOTE
: Do not attempt to manually light the oven or the broil burner.
NOTE
: The broil and oven burners cannot be operated simultaneously.
NOTE
: No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure.
NOTE
: After switching the cold oven on, condensation could form on the front part of the appliance. This
is perfectly normal, it is not a malfunction and it disappears after a few minutes.
