Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature
for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate
foods with unpleasant smells. After an interruption in the electricity supply, the programmer display
flashes at regular intervals, showing
. For setting instructions, see point “11. ELECTRONIC
PROGRAMMER”.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with EEC
directive 89/109 of 21/12/88 and national relevant regulations.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or
trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that
it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in
two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door
open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results.

Cooling fan system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation a few minutes after the
oven is lit. Operation of the fan generates a normal air flow which comes out from the rear of the hob and
