USE OF THE OVEN
7.1
Warnings and general advice
Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature for as long as it
takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food.
It is not advisable to use the oven and grill burners simultaneously for more than 40 minutes.
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.
The oven accessories which may come into contact with food are made from materials which conform
to the standing directives.
WARNING: the gas oven/grill must be lit with the door open. If this is done
wrongly, open the door and wait for a few moments before lighting once
more.
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.
