4. USING THE OVEN
4.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven is used for the first time, it should
be heated to 200°C for long enough to burn off
any oily residues left by the manufacturing
process.
If you have to carry out any procedures on
foods, leave the door open for as short a time as
possible to ensure the temperature inside the
oven does not drop far enough to impair cooking
results.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam
inside the oven, open the door in two stages:
hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds,
then open it completely.
4.2 Inside lights
The inside lights are turned on by turning the thermostat knob.
4.3 Preheating
When the oven is cold, set a preheating temperature of no more than
200°C. Once the set temperature is reached, wait a few minutes after the
buzzer sounds or after the pilot light goes out before starting cooking
processes.
4.4 Setting the time
At first use, or after a power failure, the time must be set. The display will
show a flashing icon .
To set the current time, hold down START + STOP together until the
display stops flashing.
Now press START to increment the hour display. Once the current hour
has been set, press STOP to set the minutes and increment them as
before by pressing the START button.
When the correct time is set, press the STOP button and the display will
stop flashing.
4.5 Setting the power
After having set the time as described above and pressed the STOP
button to confirm the setting, the display will show P8.3 (maximum power
absorption 8.3 kW) if the oven is connected to a three-phase power
supply, or P5.5 (maximum power absorption 5.5 kW) if the power supply is
single-phase.
Press START repeatedly to scroll through the power absorption settings
available:
P8.3, P5.5 or P3.0 for three-phase power connection;
