[. . . ] Before using your convection oven ▲ Before using your electric convection oven for the first time, be sure to: 1. Check that the oven is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that its time knob is in the "OFF" position. Dry all the accessories thoroughly and reassemble them in the oven, plug the oven into an electrical outlet. After reassembling your oven, we recommend that you operate it at the highest temperature EN-8 setting (230°C) using the Grill mode for about 15 minutes to remove any packaging residues that may remain after shipping. This also eliminates all traces of odour that were originally present. Note: When first used, the appliance may emit some smoke and a slight odour (for about 15 minutes). This is due to the combustion of the protective substance applied to the heating elements in the factory. Using your convection oven About rotating heat cooking Rotating heat cooking combines hot air movements generated by a fan with conventional functions (grill , brown , cook ). Rotating heat usually allows faster cooking than conventional electric radiant heat ovens. The fan gently propels air into the food areas, allowing them to be cooked and browned quickly, preserving their moisture and flavour. The air movements make the temperature around the food uniform, making cooking more homogeneous compared to conventional ovens where some areas are warmer and others colder. The rotating heat allows you to cook at lower temperatures, saving energy and helping to keep the kitchen cooler. With rotating heat, very hot air circulates around the food, which significantly speeds up their cooking compared to conventional ovens. Using your rotating heat oven Familiarise yourself with the functions, controls and accessories of the oven before first use:  Temperature knob (H): Set the temperature between 100°C and 230°C for browning, cooking or grilling. ρ Mode knob (I): This oven is equipped with four modes for different types of cooking.
