Use Of The Oven; Using The Oven - Smeg Hob Instructions For The User

5. USING THE OVEN

5.1 General warnings and advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food unpleasant odours.
At first use after a power blackout, press the central knob
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 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.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half open
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door
open 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 switch knob is turned to any position.
When the oven is not working, the light comes on by simply opening the
door.
5.3 Storage compartment
The storage drawer is at the bottom of the
cooker, underneath the oven. For access,
pull the bottom of the door.
Never store inflammable materials such as
rags, paper or the like. The compartment is
intended
accessories of the range.
Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The
temperature inside may be very high.
