7. USE OF THE OVEN
Before using the oven make sure that the the analog programmer shows
the
symbol (see paragraph "5.2.5 Manual cooking").
In models equipped with analogue digital timer, the user has only to
press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first
use or after a power blackout.
7.1 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.
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.
7.2 Oven Light
It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.
7.3 Storage drawer
The storage drawer is at the bottom of the
cooker, underneath the oven. For access,
pull the bottom of the door.
Never store inflammable materials such as
rags, paper or the like. The compartment is
intended only for holding the metal
accessories of the range.
Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The
temperature inside may be very high.
