5.  USING THE OVEN 
 
5.1 Warnings and general advice 
 
 
 
 
 
When using for the first time, it is advisable to 
heat up the oven to its maximum temperature for 
enough time to burn off any possible oily 
manufacturing residues.  
If the food being cooked needs to be checked, it 
is best to leave the door open for as short a time 
as possible in order to avoid the temperature 
inside the oven from dropping too much and thus 
compromising cooking results. 
 
 
5.2 Internal ventilation (depending on the model) 
On some models, the fan rotates in both directions and when the door is 
opened it is deactivated automatically, and starts again when the door is 
closed. 
 
5.3 Inside light (Depending on model) 
The oven light comes on: 
- When the oven door is opened. 
- When the thermostat knob is turned. 
- When the function switch knob is turned to any symbol. 
 
5.4 Thawing 
The movement of air at room temperature causes frozen food to quickly 
thaw. This type of thawing is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de-
frozen food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the domestic 
freezer, remain unaltered.
