USE OF THE OVEN
4.1
Warnings and general advice
When using for the first time, it is advisable to
heat up the oven to its maximum temperature
(250°C) for enough time to burn off any
possible oily manufacturing residues.
It should be borne in mind that when the oven
door is opened, the heating elements and the
fan are automatically switched off. This means
that, if the food being cooked needs to be
checked, it is best to leave the door open for as
short a time as possible in order to avoid the
temperature inside the oven from dropping too
much and thus compromising cooking results.
4.2
Oven lights
The lights inside the oven come on automatically upon turning the
thermostat knob.

Defrosting
TIMER KNOB
SET TO MANUAL
THERMOSTAT KNOB
SET TO VENTILATION
Moving air at ambient temperature causes frozen food to quickly thaw.
This type of thawing is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de-
frozen food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the domestic
freezer, remain unaltered.
4.4
Pre-heating
Before cooking, it is advisable to pre-heat the oven to the desired
temperature for at least 15 minutes.
