Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with
the requirements of the current
directive.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or
oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place
it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven 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.

cooking temperature (never more than
