base are used. They should also be suited to the size of
the burner.
WARNING! The glass lid can break in if it
is heated up. Turn off all the burners and
the electric plates before closing the lid

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.
