8.1 Precautions and General Advice

When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

The accessories can contain hot water when they are taken from the oven, therefore the use of gloves and particular attention are always recommended

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials compliant with the EC Regulation 1935-2004 and national relevant regulations.
