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 fi lm from the oven and
remove any accessories from inside it. Heat the oven to 250 °C for about one
hour. The oven must be empty during this time.
Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

PREHEATING AND RESIDUAL HEAT
Once the function starts, an audible signal and a flashing icon on the display indicate that the preheating phase has been activated. At the end of this phase, an audible signal and the fixed icon on the display will indicate 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. After cooking and with the function deactivated, the ico n may continue to remain visible on the display even after the cooling fan has switched off to indicate that there is residual heat in the compartment.
Please note: The time after which the icon switches off varies because it depends on a series of factors such as ambient temperature and function used. In any case, the product should be considered to be off when the pointer on the selection knob is at “0”. -
