Do not attempt to remove the oven door without consulting the relative instructions carefully (refer to section "11. 1 Removing the oven door"): the hinges on the oven door may cause an injury. 7. 2 Switching on the oven for the first time The first time it is used, the oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the oven, heat to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped. To prevent any steam in the oven from scalding, proceed as follows: turn the function switch knob to "0", or to function ; open the door in two stages: hold it partly open (approx. 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely.

For example, different foods, such as meat and fish, can be cooked at the same time. Before cooking meat, we recommend treating it with flavoured oil or marinating it for a few hours. A little tip: meat should always be salted after cooking on the griddle, so that its juices are sealed in. 9. 3 Suggestions for using the ceramic hob correctly In order to obtain maximum efficiency and efficient consumption, it is essential to use only utensils that are suitable for use on a ceramic hob. The diameter of the base of the utensil must be the same as the diameter of the outline of the cooking area. Energy is wasted if they are not the same. The base of the utensil must be very thick and perfectly flat. It should also be clean and dry, as should the glass on the hob. Do not use cast iron pots or pots with a rough base, as they may scratch the surface. 9. 4 Suggestions for using the oven correctly The oven is multifunction. It is possible to cook traditionally, with convection and with the grill. The oven door should be completely closed for all types of cooking including grilling. 9. 4. 1 Traditional cooking With this type of cooking, the heat comes from the top and the bottom. It is therefore preferable to use the central guides.

The openings should be positioned so as not to allow the formation of any unpleasant air current for the occupants. Furthermore, it is forbidden to use flues already used by other appliances to expel products of combustion. 3 12. 5 Gas connection We recommend checking that the appliance is properly set up for the type of gas distributed.
