including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or
the base cover.
•  Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the

6.2.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system
which comes into operation as soon as a cooking
function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of
air from above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the oven has been
turned off.
6.2.3 Oven inside lights
The oven lights come on when the door is opened or
any function or recipe is selected, except for 
(where present).

6.3 Warnings and general advice for usage
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.
Cooking processes using the grill / fan-assisted grill must not last more
than 20 minutes.
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, place it so that it will not interfere
with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
For the best cooking results, we recommend
placing cookware in the centre of the rack.
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.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal
glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
