5. USING THE OVEN
5.1 Warnings and general advice
When using for the first time, it is advisable to
heat up the oven to its maximum temperature for
enough time to burn off any possible oily
manufacturing residues.
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.
5.2 Internal ventilation (depending on the model)
On some models, the fan rotates in both directions and when the door is
opened it is deactivated automatically, and starts again when the door is
closed.
5.3 Inside light (Depending on model)
The oven light comes on:
- When the oven door is opened.
- When the thermostat knob is turned.
- When the function switch knob is turned to any symbol.
5.4 Thawing
The movement of air at room 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.
