9. USING THE OVEN
On models with analogue digital timer, at first use after a power blackout simply press the middle knob
for 1 / 2 seconds to enable oven cooking operations.
In models with clock and programmer, 3 procedures are required to enable oven cooking operations:
1 make sure that the timer is turned to or between 5’ and 90’/120’;
2 turn the thermostat;
3 turn the function selector knob to any function.
On models with digital programmer, before using the oven or after a power blackout, make sure that the
symbol appears on the display (see point "7.1 Setting the time").
9.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature
for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate
foods with unpleasant smells.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with
directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and national relevant regulations.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or
trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that
it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
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. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door
open for as short a time as possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results. When the door is opened the oven's
internal fan cuts out automatically; it starts up again when the door is closed.
9.2 Cooling fan system (all models)
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into
operation when the oven is switched on. The operation of the fans
generates a normal air flow which comes out above the door, and
may continue for a short time even after the oven is switched off.
9.3 Inside light
Depending on the model, the oven light switches on:
when the oven door is opened, or
when the function knob is turned to any function, except .
