Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on to the cooking hob. In the event, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the top is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the glazed ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.

In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking hob remains hot for a certain period of time. Make sure that children never touch the cooking hob. 4. 2 Cooking tips The following table shows the knob setting according to the type of food to be cooked or heated.

USE OF THE OVEN 5. 1 Warnings and general advice Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste. The user has only to press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first use or after a power blackout. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. To prevent any steam in the oven 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. 5. 2 Oven Light It comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position.
