5. USING THE OVEN
5.1 Warnings and general advice for use
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
NOTE: Before using the oven for the first time, heat to the maximum temperature
(500°F) for sufficient time to burn away any oily residue resulting from the
manufacturing process.
The heating elements and the fan shut off when the oven door is opened.
NOTE: During cooking, do not cover the oven bottom with aluminum or tin foil and do not place pans or oven
pans or bakeware on the oven bottom as this may damage the enamel surface. If you wish to use waxed paper,
position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
NOTE: When accessing food inside the oven, leave the door open for the shortest
time possible so that the internal oven temperature does not cool.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating problems, open the door in two
stages: half open (approx. 2 inches) for 4-5 seconds and then completely open.
To access food, always leave the door open for the shortest time possible to
prevent the oven temperature from cooling and ruining the food.
