USING THE OVEN 7. 1 Before using the appliance · Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping pans and the cooking compartment. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, 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 oven compartment and wash them as indicated in "9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE". · · Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours. 7. 2 Oven runners The oven features 4 runners for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heights are indicated from the bottom upwards (see figure). 7. 3 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 that exits from the rear of the appliance and which may continue for a brief period of time even after the appliance has been turned off. 7. 4 Internal light The oven light comes on when the door is opened (on some models only) or any function is selected. 35 Instructions for the user 7. 5 General warnings and advice for use All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed. 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: keep it half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open 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. [. . . ] Lower the door and once it is in place remove the pins from the holes in the hinges. 42 Instructions for the user 10. 3 Removing the door seal (not on pyrolitic models) To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the door seal may be removed. There are fasteners on all four sides to attach it to the edge of the oven. The seal must be replaced when it loses elasticity and hardens. 10. 4 Removing the internal glass panels The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. To facilitate cleaning, it is possible to remove the door (see 10. 2 Removing the door) and place it on a canvas, or open it and lock the hinges in order to extract the glass panels. [. . . ]
