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.

• Place the enamel tray at the bottom of the oven.
• Put the food (in the plate or baking tray, etc.) and shut the door.
