Attention!
When using the oven for the fi rst time it should be
operated for 15-30 minutes at a temperature of
about 500°F/260°C without cooking anything insi-
de in order to eliminate any moisture and odours
from the internal insulation.
SHELVES POSITIONS
Shelves are mounted on the appropriate guides
situated on the sides of the oven compartment.
Insert the shelf between top and bottom guide in
any of the 7 positions indicated.
COOLING FAN
Automatic operation of the cooling fan
The range cooker is equipped with a thermosta-
tically controlled cooling fan designed to prevent
the control panel and knobs from overheating.
The cooling fan will operate when the oven tem-
perature groves up. It will turn off when the tempe-
rature decreases.
NOTE: It is normal for the cooling process to push
heated air out into the room when the oven is on.
PREHEATING THE OVEN
Most cooking times in recipes are intended for a
preheated oven and require that the oven already
be at the set temperature before placing food in
the oven. Preheating time depends on the tempe-
rature setting and the number of racks in the oven.
USING THE OVEN
1. Place rack in desired position and shut the door.
2.The electric oven is controlled by an electric
thermostat combined with a switch. Select the
oven function /temperature with the dedicated
knob. The light in the cavity will turn on.
