FIRST TIME USE

HEAT THE OVEN

A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal. Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it empty in order

to remove any possible odours. Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from

inside it. Heat the oven to 250 °C for about one hour: The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.

Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use steam cleaners.

INTERIOR SURFACES

After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
