USING THE OVEN Before using the oven, check that the display is showing the symbol (see point "7. 1 Setting the time"). 8. 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. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil, and do not place pans or oven dishes 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. Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with EEC directive 89/109 of 21/12/88 and national relevant regulations. To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in two stages; hold it open just a little (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. If you have to check or carry out other procedures on food during cooking, 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. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat. 10. 2 Hot air cooking FUNCTION SELECTOR THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C This system is suitable for cooking on several shelves, even with foods of different kinds (fish, meat, etc. ) without cross-contamination of flavours or smells. The air circulation inside the oven ensures uniform heat distribution. Multiple cooking is possible provided that all foods require the same temperature. 45 Instructions for the User 10. 3 Delicate cooking FUNCTION SELECTOR THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C This type of cooking, for which it is extremely important to preheat the oven in fan mode, is particularly suitable for finishing cooking of foods underneath, or for processes which require heat mainly from below.
