Instructions for the user
4. USE OF THE OVEN
Make sure that you have either turned the minute minder knob to the
symbol or set a cooking time. If the timer knob is on 0, no heating
elements will come on.
4.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad taste.
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.
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.
4.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system
which automatically comes on upon the oven
being turned on.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above
the door which may continue for a brief period of
time even after the oven has been turned off.
4.3 Oven light
To turn on the oven light in models with static oven, rotate the
temperature knob clockwise to the first setting aligned with the lamp
symbol (
). The light will remain on throughout entire oven operation.
