Make sure that the electrical cables of other
appliances used near the oven do not touch hot
parts and are not trapped in the oven door.
Some oven models are equipped with an air
cooling system to prevent the front of the oven
and cabinet cavity from reaching excessively
high temperatures.
Attention:
Steam and smoke are vented through
an opening located between the control panel and
the oven door. Do not obstruct the vent opening.
Do not place inflammable material in the oven or
nearby: a fire may break out if the oven is
inadvertently switched on.
Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories,
when the oven is hot.
If alcoholic beverages are added when roasting
or cooking cakes and sweets (for example, rum,
cognac, wine, etc.) remember that alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. It may happen
that vapours released by the alcohol can catch
fire when they are in contact with the electric
heating element.
Do not heat sealed containers in the oven
(except for packages specifically designed for
this purpose; see the manufacturer's
instructions). The pressure that develops inside
the packaging might cause it to explode,
damaging the oven.
Do not use containers made of synthetic
material for cooking (except for packages
specifically designed for this purpose; see the
manufacturer's instructions). They could melt at
high temperatures.
Keep an eye on the oven if you are using a lot of
fat or oil. Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire!
Never pull out fully loaded shelves. Use extreme
caution.
BEFORE USING THE OVEN
Remove the accessories from the oven and heat
it 200°C for about an hour to eliminate the smell
of the protective grease and insulating
materials. Keep the window open during this
operation.
Before using the oven, remove:
- stickers on the front and oven door, except
for the rating plate;
- cardboard protection and protective plastic
film from the front panel controls and other
parts of the oven;
- any sticky labels from the accessories
(for example, under the drip tray).
