At first use or after a power outage, press the centre button for 1 2 seconds to enable the oven for cooking. To make any adjustments, refer to "3. 2 Electronic Analogue Clock". To prevent any steam in the oven from causing problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need to access the food, always leave the door open for as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. 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, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. 5 cm 5. 2 Oven light The oven light comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any position, or when the oven is switched off and the door is opened. 55 Instructions for the user 5. 3 Cooling system The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into operation as soon as a cooking function starts.

Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very easily. During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant smells may occur due to the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. [. . . ]
