If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, stop attempting
to light it, open the oven door completely and do not try to
light it again for at least 1 minute.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans

The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with
the provisions of the directives in force.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing 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.
