Instructions for the user
4. USE OF THE OVEN
4.1 Warnings and general advice
When using for the first time, it is advisable to
heat up the oven to its maximum temperature for
enough time to burn off any possible oily
manufacturing residues.
This means that, if the food being cooked needs
to be checked, it is best to leave the door open
for as short a time as possible in order to avoid
the temperature inside the oven from dropping
too much and thus compromising cooking results.
4.2 Oven lights
The lights inside the oven come on automatically upon turning the
thermostat knob. On the multi-function models, the light comes on when
the knob is turned to any of the symbols.
4.3 Defrosting
Moving air at ambient temperature causes frozen food to quickly thaw.
This type of thawing is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de-frozen
food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the domestic freezer,
remain unaltered.
