USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odours 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 odours.
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.
