INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
OVEN: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not leave the oven unsupervised during use.
Ensure that children do not play with the appliance.
• Always keep the appliance lid open when using the
oven, in order to prevent overheating.
• Always grip the centre of the oven door when
opening. Do not practice excessive pressures on
the door when it is open.
• Do not worry if condensation forms on the door and
on the internal walls of the oven during cooking.
This does not compromise its efciency.
• When opening the oven door, be very careful of
scalding vapours.
• The appliance becomes very hot during use. Do not
touch the heating elements inside the oven. Wear
oven gloves when placing or removing pans from
the oven.
• When inserting or removing food from the oven,
check that excess juices do not overow onto the
oven base (oils and fats are highly inammable
when overheated).
• Use containers that will resist the temperatures
indicated on the thermostat knob.
• For good results during cooking, we strongly
recommend not to cover the base of the oven or the
grill with aluminium foil or other materials.
• When grilling always put a little water in the grill
pan. The water prevents the grease from burning
and from giving off bad smells and smoke. Add
more water during grilling to compensate for
evaporation.
• After using the appliance ensure that all the controls
are in the off position.
• WARNING!!! During and after use, the oven door
glass and the accessible parts can be very hot,
therefore keep children away from the appliance.
IMPORTANT!!
Always keep the oven door closed during baking
or grilling.
WHAT TO DO THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THE
OVEN
If the appliance has a programming accessory,
place it on the manual position, and, before cooking
for the rst time, ensure the oven is empty and its door
closed, heat the oven at maximum temperature for
2 hours. This will allow the protective coating on the
interior of the oven to be burnt off and dissipate the
associated smells. During this time do not stay in the
same room and keep it aerated.
After the hour or so has elapsed leave the oven to cool
down and then clean its interior with hot water and a
mild detergent. Also wash the accessories (shelves,
trays, drip pan, spit..) prior to use.
Prior to any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity mains.
