■cleaning

the oven

Before using the oven for the first time, clean all accessories with
warm water and washing-up liquid. Then switch the oven on and
select the highest temperature and leave the oven on for at least
one hour with the oven door closed.
During this period there is an unavoidable odour which is not
harmful to health. We recommend that the room is well venti

lated for your convenience.

When the oven has cooled down, clean it with warm water and
washing-up liquid.
