WARMING UP THE OVEN
To cook some kinds of food the oven needs to be warmed up both because the cooking needs to be as even as possible and to
avoid fat splashing, fumes forming and encrustation on the oven.
TIME FOR WARMING UP
The time for warming up is linked to the temperature selected for cooking so the chosen temperature is set, the oven starts
working and when the thermostat indicator light goes out the preheating temperature has been reached.
N.B. Roasts of white meat (pork, veal and lamb) and fish do not need the oven to be warmed up.

HOB - ELECTRIC PLATES
It is recommended to keep the electric plates always clean and dry, removing grease and encrustations also by using the
specific detergent.
To protect them over time, it is recommended, after cleaning, to wipe them over with a damp cloth, dry them (perhaps by
turning them on) and covering them with a light film of Vaseline oil.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
- Clean the stainless steel parts every day with warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and dry carefully.
- You must never clean the stainless steel with steel wool, wire brushes or common steel scrapers since they may deposit
ferrous particles that on oxidizing cause rust points. It is possible to use stainless steel wool applied in the direction of the
satin finish.
- If the unit is not to be used for a long time, give all the steel surfaces a a good wipe over with a cloth lightly soaked in
Vaseline oil in order to apply a protective film. Ventilate the premises periodically.
