Instructions for the user

7. Using the electric oven
When the oven or grill is operating, the outer surface and oven door can become very hot.
Keep children away from the appliance.
Do not allow children to sit on the oven door or play with it.
Do not use the door as a stool.
7.1 General warnings
Do not cook food on the bottom of the oven.
When using the oven for the first time, or after a power cut, the display flashes regularly indicating
. To set the display, refer to section "SET THE TIME OF DAY” on page 10.
Do not attempt to remove the oven door without consulting the relative instructions carefully (refer
to section “11.1 Removing the oven door”): the hinges on the oven door may cause an injury.
7.2 Switching on the oven for the first time
The first time it is used, the oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from
manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the
oven, heat to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait
until the smoke or odour has stopped.
To prevent any steam in the oven from scalding, proceed as follows:
turn the function switch knob to "0", or to function ; open the door in
two stages: hold it partly open (approx. 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then
open it completely.
Should you need to adjust the food, leave the door open for as short a
time as possible to prevent the temperature inside the oven from
lowering to such an extent as to jeopardise cooking.
7.3 Traditional cooking
Turn the function switch knob to position and the thermostat knob to the required temperature.
For heating above over or below the food, set the function selector switch to position (hot above)
or
(hot below). For more uniform heating throughout the oven, turn the function switch knob to
position .
After preheating and putting the food in the oven an air flow between the upper side of the door and
the lower side of the hob may be noticed. In case that does not happen, switch off the
appliance and contact the Technical Service immediately.
7.4 Convection cooking
Turn the function switch knob to position ; turn the thermostat knob in correspondence with the
required temperature value.
