4.  USE OF THE OVEN 
 
 
 
Before using the oven make sure that the electronic programmer displays 
the 
 symbol (see "3.2.1 Clock adjustment"). 
 
 
4.1 Warnings and general advice 
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum 
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily 
residues which could give the food a bad taste. 
In the models featuring an electronic programmer, a power failure causes 
the display to start flashing at regular intervals and the 
 symbol to 
appear. To re-adjust, see "3.2 Electronic programmer ". 
 
 
  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. 
 
 
4.2 Cooling system 
The oven features cooling fan which switch on 
together with the oven. 
Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which 
exits at the bottom part of the oven front which 
may continue for a brief period of time even after 
the oven has been turned off. 
 
 
4.3 Oven light 
On all models, it is switched on by turning the thermostat knob and the 
function selector knob to any function. On some models it also switches 
on when the oven door is opened.
