6. USING THE OVEN
6.1 General Instructions
NOTE: Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature (500°F), and
operate long enough to burn away any oily residue remaining from the manufacturing process that could
give the food a bad taste. After a power failure, the display will flash at regular intervals, showing 0:00. To
adjust, refer to paragraph “4. Electronic oven programmer”.
  
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
To prevent burns caused by steam in the oven, open the
door in two stages: partially open (approximately 5 cm or
2 inches) for 4- 5 seconds, long enough to permit the
steam to escape, and then fully open.
When accessing the food in the oven, always leave the
door open the shortest possible time to prevent the oven
temperature from falling and ruining the food.
6.2 Oven light
It illuminates when the oven function selector knob is turned to any oven function. 
6.3 Storage compartment
The storage drawer is located at the bottom of the range, underneath the oven.
To open, pull the top of the drawer.
NOTE: Never store flammable materials, such as rags, paper or similar items, in this drawer. It is
intended for the storage of metal accessories for the range.
CAUTION: Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot: the internal
temperature may be exceedingly high.
