6.  USING THE OVEN
6.1  Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250°C) for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by
the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant odours. 
Before operating the oven, make sure the timer is on  “Manual
cooking”. (See paragraph 3.3.2.)
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.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
problems, open the door in two stages: keep it
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.

8.  COOKING HINTS
8.1  Traditional cooking
We recommend preheating the oven using a fan-assisted function at 30/
40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking
times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking
results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
     
FUNCTION SELECTOR
       
THERMOSTAT50 ÷ 250°C
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single shelf. 
You have to pre-heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place
the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. 
Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to defrost. The only
precaution you need to take is to select a temperature about 20°C lower and a
cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

This system is suitable for cooking on several shelves, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without flavours and odours mingling. 
The air circulation in the oven ensures uniform heating.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the different types of food require
the same cooking temperature.
  
FUNCTION SELECTOR  
THERMOSTAT225
