! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door
closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven
door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

Starting the oven

The GRILL knob
Your oven is equipped with an electric grill. The extremely high and direct
temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats
and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high surface temperature:
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...
Some examples of how the grill may be used are included in the "Practical
Cooking Advice" section.
! When using the grill, the oven door must be kept shut.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven - this could result in
damage to the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models
are fitted with a cooling fan that blows air out between the control panel and
the oven door.
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the
oven has cooled down sufficiently.
