7.5 General warnings and advice for use
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. The
dissipation of heat may cause hazards.
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: keep it
half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and
then open it fully. 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.
While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form
on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple
of times while cooking.
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove
any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
