Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed. Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. ) on the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides. The oven knobs With these two controls you can select the different functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperature suitable for the food you are preparing.

[. . . ] Cooking fish and meat When cooking white meat, fowl and fish use low temperatures. When red meat must be superficially well-cooked but succulent inside, it is advisable to start with a high temperature (200-220°C) for a short time, and then to reduce it at a later point. Generally speaking, the more meat there is, the lower the temperature and the longer the cooking time should be. Place the meat in the centre of the grid and put a spilltray underneath to catch grease drips. [. . . ]
