Using The Oven - Smeg Oven Instructions For The User

5. USING THE OVEN

5.1 General warnings and advice
When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the
maximum temperature (250°C) for long enough to burn off any oily
residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate
foods with unpleasant odours.
At first use after a power blackout, press the central key
seconds to enable oven cooking operations. For setting instructions, see
point "3.2. Electronic Analogue Clock".
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or
tin foil, and do not place pans or trays 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.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
problems, open the door in two stages: hold it
half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then
open it completely. To access 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.
5.2 Oven light
It comes on when the function selector is turned to any setting, or when
the door is opened with the oven off.
5.3 Storage compartment
The storage drawer is in the bottom of the
cooker, underneath the oven. To open it,
pull on the bottom of the door.
Never use it to store flammable materials
such as rags, paper, etc.; it is intended to
take the appliance's metal accessories only.
Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot.
The temperatures inside it may be very high.
