and the cooking start and end times, which will be represented by the
illuminated inside segments. The display segments will be constantly
illuminated as long as the current time is not the same as the cooking start
time; as soon as the current time reaches the set starting time, all the inside
segments will start to flash, indicating that the oven has started cooking.
• At the end of the cooking time the timer will switch the oven heating elements
off, the beeps will start to sound and the numbers on the dial will flash.
• To delete the entire set program, hold down the central key for 2 seconds;
if cooking has already started, the oven will have to be switched off manually.

8. USING THE OVEN
8.1 Before using the appliance
Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping
pans and the cooking compartment.
Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including
from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base cover.
Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the
oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “10. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE”.
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove
any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
8.2 General Description
8.2.1 Oven runners
The oven features 5 runners for positioning
trays and racks at different heights. The insertion
heights are numbered from the bottom upwards
(see illustration).
(When using the recipes, the display will show
the recommended runner for the selected
recipe.)
8.2.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system
which comes into operation as soon as a
cooking function starts. The fan causes a steady
outflow of air from above the door which may
continue for a brief period of time even after the
oven has been turned off.

Instructions for the user
22
8.2.3 Oven inside lights
The oven lights come on when the door is opened or any function or recipe is
selected, except for (where present).
8.3 Warnings and general advice for usage
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil
and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere
with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
For the best cooking results, we recommend
placing cookware in the centre of the rack.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
problems, open the door in two stages: half
open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then
fully open. If you need to access the food,
always leave the door open for as short a time
as possible to prevent the temperature in the
oven from falling and ruining the food.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal
glass, food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
