USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odors that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal. Before starting to cook food, we, therefore, recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odors.
Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it. Heat the oven to 250° C for about one hour, preferably using the “Convection bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.
Notes: it is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

PREHEATING
-
Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signaling that the preheating process has begun. At the end of this process, the LED thermostat switches off indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: at this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking.
Please note: Placing the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result. -
SETTING THE TIMER
This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to use the display as a timer, both while a function is active and when the oven is off. Turn the knob right round in an clockwise direction and then turn it back in the opposite direction to the desired cooking duration: an acoustic signal will warn you when the count-down is finished.

USEFUL TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “Convection Bake” function, you can cook different foods simultaneously (for example: fish and vegetables), on different levels. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.
