Cleaning and heating up for
the first time
Before using for the first time proceed
as follows:
^
Remove any stickers or labels from
the oven floor and the accessories.
^
Clean the appliance and accessories
with a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing up liquid and then dry
thoroughly.
^
Then heat the empty oven for at least
one hour as follows: Turn the function
selector to Conventional heat A and
increase the recommended
temperature from 190 °C to 275 °C
(see "Altering the recommended
temperature").
It is important to ensure that the room is
well ventilated. We recommend that you
vacate the room while you are heating
the oven up for the first time.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight
smell when heated up for the first time.
The smell and any vapours will
dissipate after a short time, and do not
indicate a faulty connection or
appliance.
