Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way
possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed,
it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and
a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the
size of the burner.

Using the oven
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature
for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated before switching the oven off and opening
the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly
unpleasant odour caused by protective substances
used during the manufacturing process burning away.
! We recommend cleaning the oven before using it for
the first time, following the instructions provided in the
„Care and maintenance" section.
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven;
this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the
rotisserie spit.
