USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
You are advised to carry out the following operations:
● Furnish the interior of the oven as described under the heading “Cleaning &
Maintenance”.
● Switch the empty oven ON for about two hours to eliminate traces of grease and
smell from the components.
● Let the oven cool down, switch off, then clean the inside of the oven with a cloth
soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry thoroughly.
