Attention: steam and smoke are vented through an opening between the control panel and the oven door. Do not obstruct the vent opening. � Do not place inflammable material in the oven or near it: if the appliance is inadvertently turned on, afire could start. � Use oven gloves to remove hot pans and accessories in the oven. � If you are adding alcohol (e.g. rum, cognac, wine etc.) while roasting meats or baking cakes, remember that alcohol evaporates at a high temperature. You should, therefore, bear in mind that the vapours released by the alcohol can ignite when they come into contact with the electrical heating element. � Do not heat up or cook food in sealed containers inside the oven. The pressure that builds up inside the container could explode, damaging the oven. � Do not use containers made of synthetic material to cook (except ones specifically designed for this purpose; see information provided by the Manufacturer). They could melt at high temperature. � Never pull out fully loaded shelves. Use extreme caution.
Before using the oven
� Before use, remove: - all stickers on the front of the oven and the door with the exception of the rating plate placed on the right wall inside the oven (visible when the door is open). - cardboard protection and protective plastic film from the control screen and other parts of the oven; - any sticky labels from accessories (for example, under the drip tray). � Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it up at 200°C for approx. one hour to eliminate smells and fumes produced by insulating material and protective greases. You should keep the window open when doing this.
