6. USING THE OVEN

6.1 Warnings and general advice for use

WARNING
NOTE: When using the oven for the first time, heat it to the maximum temperature
(540°F) for sufficient time to burn away any oily residues from the manufacturing
process.
The heating elements and the fan are deactivated when the oven door is opened.
NOTE: During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum 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, position it so that
it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
NOTE: If you have to attend to the food in the oven, leave the door open for the
shortest time possible, so that the internal temperature doesn't drop.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating problems, open the door in two
stages: half open (approx. 2 inches) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To
access food, always leave the door open the shortest time possible, to prevent
the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.
