Safety when cooking
☞
When the oven is first installed
Once the oven has been installed:
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;
b) switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking (
);
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool
down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked
in warm soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the shelf
and the dripping pan.
To open the oven door, always catch
the handle in its central part (Fig. 4).
•
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food
in the oven.
•
The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250
°
C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
•
Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of
the oven and damage the oven enamel.
•
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated.
For the same reason, be careful when placing or
removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
Always cook with the oven door
closed
