Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged.
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, a cooling fan generates a stream of air which
escapes between the oven control panel and the
oven door.
Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling
fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled
down sufficiently.
