8. USE OF THE OVEN
8.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to maximum
temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which
could give the food a bad smell.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin
foil and do not place pans or oven plates on it as 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.
The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of
materials that comply with the provisions of Directive 89/109/EEC, dated
21/12/88 and of Decree Law 108, dated 25/01/92.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half
open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door open
as short a time as possible to prevent the
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the
food. When the door is opened oven ventilation is
automatically switched off; it then resumes as soon
as the door is closed (on some models only).
8.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system
which automatically comes on when the
oven is being turned on. The fans cause a
steady outflow of air from above the door
which may continue for a brief period of time
even after the oven has been turned off.
8.3 Oven light
The oven light comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any
symbol.
On some models it comes on also when opening the oven door.
