24 PREPARATIONS
Before using your appliance
Switch on the hob
I Before using your hob for the first time,
each element should be switched on to the
highest setting for 3-4 minutes, without a
pan. The manufacturer has applied a layer
of rust-preventer to each element. When
the hob is heated for the first time a
burning smell will be noticeable.
This is normal.
Oven
Prepare for use
I Remove the sticker from the glass panel in
the oven door.
I Remove the protective foil from stainless
steel doors.
I Remove all accessories from the oven and
clean them thoroughly using a dish-
washing detergent. Switch on the closed,
empty oven at the maximum temperature
for about thirty minutes, after which the
grilling element should be switched on for
a period of fifteen minutes. Let the oven
cool off and clean it with warm water.
Please note:
When the oven is heated to a high
temperature for the first time, you will smell a
“new appliance” odour. This is to be
expected.
Replacing the oven light bulb
I Remove the plug out of the socket.
I Unscrew the protective cover in an
anticlockwise direction.
I Replace the bulb with a new one of the
same wattage (230 V -50 Hz - 300 °C).
Screw the protective cover back on, in a
clockwise direction.
