6.4 Using the griddle plate

The griddle plate is coated with a thin film of non-stick
material (Teflon). This film is very delicate and could be
damaged or scratched by any metal cooking tool. Use only
wooden or heat resistant plastic tools.

7. USE OF THE OVENS

7.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250-220°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad taste.

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.
