5. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of
an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials come into contact with the heating elements
or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns, for example,
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and oven glass
window.
6. Take care to reset all worktop/oven/broiler burner controls to the OFF position
after use of the appliance.
The ranges are equipped with commercial grade shelves and an enamel cooking
tray. Shelves are mounted on the appropriate guides situated on the sides of the
oven compartment. Insert the shelf between the top and bottom guide in any of the 5
positions available.
To keep the oven as clean as possible, cook on the tray.
When available, always follow recipe book directions. Personal experience will
help to determine any variation in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is
recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe being used.
Note: If you have a griddle, you may want to clean it, but it does not need to be
seasoned before use.
Using the Oven
When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for 15-30
minutes at a temperature of about 500°F/260°C without cooking
anything inside in order to eliminate any moisture and odors from the
internal insulation.
