Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it. Heat the oven to 250°Cfor about one hour: The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use steam cleaners. Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance. Wear protective gloves. The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.
