[. . . ] To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly. The mechanical lock must always face the back of the oven. Insert racks and trays fully into the oven until they come to a stop. 42 Instructions for the user 6. USING THE OVEN 6. 1 · · Before using the appliance · Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the oven compartment and wash them as indicated in "8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE". Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 6. 2 General Description 6. 2. 1 Oven runners The oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are numbered from the bottom upwards (see figure). 6. 2. 2 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts. The fan causes 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. 6. 2. 3 Oven inside lights The oven lights come on when the door is opened (sone models only) or any function or recipe is selected. 43 Instructions for the user 6. 3 Warnings and general advice for usage All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. 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. For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of the rack. To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking. 44 Instructions for the user 6. 4 Description of the controls on the front panel All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. OVEN THERMOSTAT KNOB This knob can be used to select the cooking temperature. Turn the knob clockwise to the desired value, between 50°C and 250°C. THERMOSTAT LIGHT When this is flashing, it indicates that the oven is heating up to reach the temperature set using the thermostat knob. GRILL: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM: The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food. 48 Instructions for the user FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. FAN-ASSISTED STATIC: The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners). [. . . ] Remove the intermediate panel by lifting it upwards. Cleaning: · It is now possible to clean the external glass panel and the panels removed previously. In the case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and neutral detergent. Replacing the glass panels: · Replace the panels in the reverse of the order in which they were removed. · Reposition the internal glass panel, taking care to centre and insert the 4 pins attached to the glass into their slots in the oven door by applying slight pressure. 61 Instructions for the installer 10.
